by Tom Jensen July 28, 2022

In the second part of our Dale Earnhardt Jr. gallery, view photos of his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolets from 2013 to his final season of 2017.

Earlier this week, we showed 25 of Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s (2021) paint schemes from his premier series rookie season of 2000 up through the 2012 season.

In this installment, we feature Chevrolets from his final five seasons, all of which came while he was driving for team owner and fellow Hall of Famer Rick Hendrick (2017).

We had originally intended for this gallery to be just 25 paint schemes, but we found some extras and added them.
