'''Chance 2 Motorsports''' is a former [[NASCAR]] racing team that was founded by [[Teresa Earnhardt]] and [[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]] in 2003. Although connected with [[Dale Earnhardt, Inc.]], the race team founded by [[Dale Earnhardt]] and run by Teresa Earnhardt after his [[Death of Dale Earnhardt|death]], the two were separate operations.

The team ran in the [[NASCAR Busch Series]] for the three years it was in operation. The team fielded the No. 8 [[Bass Pro Shops]]/[[Yum! Brands]] Chevrolet for [[Martin Truex Jr.]] full time in 2004 and 2005 and the No. 81 under various sponsorships and for various drivers including Earnhardt Jr., Truex, and [[Tony Stewart]]. Truex scored two Busch Series championships and twelve wins for the team in its 3-year existence. Between 2003 and 2005, Earnhardt Jr. also won four races for Chance 2.

==History==
Chance 2 was founded in 2003 by [[Teresa Earnhardt]], widow of [[Dale Earnhardt]], and Earnhardt's son [[Dale Earnhardt Jr.]] The team name originates from Chance Racing, the team Earnhardt Sr. founded for his children [[Kerry Earnhardt|Kerry]], [[Kelley Earnhardt Miller|Kelley]], and Dale Jr. which was the precursor to [[Dale Earnhardt, Inc.]] (DEI)<ref>{{cite web|last1=Caldwell|first1=Dave|title=AUTO RACING; Kerry, the Other Earnhardt, Is Coming On|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/22/sports/auto-racing-kerry-the-other-earnhardt-is-coming-on.html|website=[[The New York Times]]|accessdate=12 June 2015|location=[[Daytona Beach]], [[Florida]]|date=February 22, 2003}}</ref> After the [[2000 NASCAR Busch Series|2000 season]], DEI did not field a Busch Series team and only made two one-off starts with Earnhardt Jr. at Daytona in 2002 and 2004, winning both races. DEI later re-entered the series with [[Paul Menard]] in the second-half of 2004.<ref name="DEI"/> Chance 2 originally competed part-time in the [[2003 NASCAR Busch Series]] season, with five drivers making a combined 14 starts in the No. 8/81 car. Earnhardt Jr. won three times for the team in his first three attempts, while the team scored five more top fives with other drivers. In 2004 and 2005, [[Martin Truex Jr.]] drove full-time in the No. 8, winning six races and the series championship in each season. Earnhardt, [[Tony Stewart]], and [[Ryan Moore (racing driver)|Ryan Moore]] ran a combined eleven races in the No. 81 over those two seasons, with Earnhardt winning at Bristol in 2004.<ref name="chance2"/> After the season, Chance 2 folded its operations, the remnants of the team becoming [[JR Motorsports]], which later merged operations with [[Hendrick Motorsports]] after 2007.

==Busch Series==

===Car No. 8 history===
The No. 8 car began as a part-time effort in 2003, with Earnhardt Jr. running all the superspeedway races (Daytona and Talladega), winning all three. He led the most laps in the [[Koolerz 300]] and the [[Aaron's 312]] and led all the laps in the [[Winn-Dixie 250]] in July. [[Steve Park]] ran at [[Las Vegas Motor Speedway|Las Vegas]] in March, finishing fourth. [[Martin Truex Jr.]] ran three races with the car being renumbered to No. 81: Richmond, Dover, and Bristol. He also failed to qualify for the fall Dover race. Truex later ran the No. 8 late in the season at Charlotte, Rockingham, and Homestead, finishing second twice. [[Hank Parker Jr.]] made three starts in the car Charlotte in May and Kansas and Atlanta in the fall, finishing seventh and fifth twice. [[Tony Stewart]] ran the No. 8 in the [[Cabela's 250]] at Michigan in August, finishing 11th after leading the most laps.<ref name="chance2">{{cite web|url=https://www.racing-reference.info/owner/Chance2_Motorsports/|title=Chance2 Motorsports|work=Racing-Reference|access-date=November 17, 2021}}</ref>

The 2004 season saw the first full-time season for Chance 2 as Martin Truex Jr. ran the full schedule and was considered an early season favorite. Truex ran several races for Chance 2 the year before in the No. 8/81 and had made a total of fourteen previous starts in the Busch Series dating to 2001, driving one race for [[Phoenix Racing (NASCAR team)|Phoenix Racing]] in the No. 1 [[Yellow Transportation]] Chevrolet, several for his father, Martin Truex, and one race for [[Stanton Barrett]]'s race team. Truex was expected to battle with [[Kyle Busch]] (racing his first full NASCAR season since the [[Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement]] had taken away his [[NASCAR Camping World Truck Series|Truck Series]] ride at [[Roush Fenway Racing|Roush Racing]] when he was 16) for the points championship. Busch drove the No. 5 [[Lowe's]] Chevrolet for [[Hendrick Motorsports]], the team that had won the series points championship in 2003 with [[Brian Vickers]].<ref name="chance2"/>

Truex's car carried sponsorship from [[Bass Pro Shops]] for a majority of the races, with Yum! Brands sponsoring for 14 races.<ref>[http://www.longjohnsilvers.com/misc/press/nascar.asp] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110911064010/http://www.longjohnsilvers.com/misc/press/nascar.asp|date=September 11, 2011}}</ref> Truex ran the first race of the season at Daytona in the No. 81, as car owner Earnhardt piloted the No. 8 as an entry for DEI. Truex's team and points then switched to the No. 8 for the second race of the season.<ref name="DEI">{{cite web|url=https://www.racing-reference.info/owner/Dale_Earnhardt%2C_Inc./|title=Dale_Earnhardt, Inc.|work=Racing-Reference|access-date=November 17, 2021}}</ref> His first victory in the No. 8 came in the [[Sharpie Professional 250]] at Bristol in March. He followed it up with three additional victories in the next seven races: the [[Aaron's 312]] at Talladega, the [[5-Hour Energy 250|Charter 250]] at Gateway, and the [[Goulds Pumps/ITT Industries 200]] at Nazareth, the final race held at the speedway.<ref name="chance2"/>

Truex claimed the points lead after Nazareth but quickly lost it to Busch. However, Truex put together a string of top ten finishes, regaining the points lead and putting distance between him and Busch. Truex won his fifth and sixth races of the season in the second half of the year, the [[Use Your Melon Drive Sober 200|Stacker 2 Hundred]] at [[Dover International Speedway|Dover]] and the [[Kroger On Track for the Cure 250|Sam's Town 250]] at [[Memphis International Raceway|Memphis]], and clinched the series points championship with one race to spare. In addition to six wins and the championship, he ended the 2004 season with eight poles, 17 top fives, and 26 top tens in 34 races.<ref name="chance2"/>

Truex's 2005 season saw him claim a victory at [[Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez]], the first NASCAR race held in Mexico. He won at Talladega for the second consecutive year and also won at Dover in the spring. Truex's summer got off to a strong start as he won three times in six races, notching victories at Daytona, New Hampshire, and IRP. This duplicated his 2004 season total of six victories, and Truex won his second consecutive points championship by 68 points over [[Clint Bowyer]].<ref name="chance2"/>

After Chance 2 folded, Truex joined DEI full-time as the driver of the No. 1 car in the [[NEXTEL Cup Series]] for 2006, replacing [[Michael Waltrip]] in the second fulltime seat at Dale Earnhardt Inc. 

===Car No. 81 history===
The No. 81 car was a part-time operation for Chance 2 and was driven most often by Earnhardt Jr., primarily with sponsorship from longtime DEI partner [[Nabisco]] but also [[Menards]] and [[Yum! Brands]] on occasion. The car first appeared in 2003 renumbered from No. 8 to No. 81 for three races at Richmond, Dover, and Bristol, all three driven by [[Martin Truex Jr.]] Although Truex finished sixth at Bristol, he failed to qualify for his next attempt at the fall Dover race. Truex competed in three more races late in the season, however they were all in the No. 8 car.<ref name="chance2"/>

At Daytona in 2004, Truex drove the No. 81 as the No. 8 car was driven by Earnhardt Jr. under the DEI banner. Following that race, Truex switched to the No. 8 under the Chance 2 banner and the No. 81 was operated on a part-time basis. Earnhardt led the most laps at Talladega but finished second. He also competed in the July Daytona race, finishing 17th. [[Tony Stewart]] attempted the [[Cabela's 250]] at Michigan but failed to qualify for the event. A week later, Earnhardt won the [[Food City 250]] at Bristol piloting the No. 81 machine. Stewart later made one start for the team in the [[Mr. Goodcents 300]] at [[Kansas Speedway]] with [[Bass Pro Shops]]/Tracker Boats sponsorship. He led 115 of 200 laps in the No. 81 before being spun out by eventual race winner [[Joe Nemechek]] and finishing 25th.<ref name="chance2"/>

For 2005, Earnhardt finished third at Daytona in February, but failed to finish the July Daytona race. [[Ryan Moore (racing driver)|Ryan Moore]] took over two races later at New Hampshire, but also failed to finish. Earnhardt made his third start in the car at Bristol, finishing seventh. Moore's next finish was 32nd at Richmond, while Earnhardt finished 39th at Charlotte in October. In the final race for the car at Homestead, Moore brought home a 13th-place finish.<ref name="chance2"/>

===Race Results===
''Note: In 2004, Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove the No. 8 car at Daytona for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Martin Truex Jr. drove the No. 81 in that race before switching to the No. 8 for the remainder of the season.''<ref name="DEI"/>
