Lamar Jackson is building a brand around the No. 8, which he wears for the Baltimore Ravens, and isn't afraid to go head-to-head with former athletes who lay similar claim to the number. Among them is Dale Earnhardt Jr., who used the number on his famous Budweiser-sponsored car earlier in his career.

Jackson’s short rift with Earnhardt has seemingly earned him some ire in the NASCAR community because he was the target of a social media post from RFK Racing on Saturday showing Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher’s cars, which are numbered 6 and 17, respectively.

Baltimore Ravens superstar Lamar Jackson received a clarifying message from NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. amid a dispute over the commercial rights to the number 8. A few days ago, an unusual controversy emerged between two sports stars.
