Dale Earnhardt Jr. was at Darlington Raceway on Wednesday to unveil his paint scheme for the Southern 500 on Sept. 4.

Earnhardt Jr.'s car for the throwback race pays tribute to Buddy Baker's iconic No. 28 Harry Ranier Oldsmobile. Baker won the 1980 Daytona 500 with the car also known as the "Gray Ghost."

It's safe to say Junior will have one of the coolest-looking cars on track for Darlington's Labor Day classic.
