Earnhardt to change look

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Sept. 23, 1998)
Dale Earnhardt and the GM Goodwrench Serivice Plus Chevrolet team will have a new look next weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The famous black No. 3 Monte Carlo will no longer carry just the word PLUS across the hood. Instead, it will have the entire GM Goodwrench Service Plus logo, the same logo that is seen on the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and NHRA teams.

Earnhardt visited Martinsville two weeks ago and was part of the dedication ceremonies for the speedways new suite area. While in town he stopped by Martinsville High School to address some of the student body and answer some of their questions about auto racing.
"We had a good time at the high school," Earnhardt said. "I encouraged all of them to stay in school and continue their education beyond high school. I regret not finishing school."
