DRIVING EMMA: The No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevrolet that Earnhardt will drive in the 2008 Daytona 500 is Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 88-475, but it goes simply by “Emma.” The car is named after the original Emma, which was built by Earnhardt’s maternal grandfather, legendary fabricator Robert Gee, and raced for Hendrick Motorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series by drivers Geoff Bodine and Tim Richmond in the 1980s. Both Bodine and Richmond won with the car, which Gee nicknamed after his mother.
