#8-Dale Earnhardt, Jr., will surprise sister Kelley Earnhardt Elledge with a new custom Chevrolet Tahoe SS in the Speed reality series, Payback on Aug. 9 at 10:00pm/et. Kelley, who handles much of Earnhardt, Jr.’s personal business dealings, is the oft overlooked hero behind the driver’s successful marketing, licensing and promotional machine. Bud Brutsman, producer of Payback, talked about this episode: “As a NASCAR fan, it was great to see Junior outside his element. I think he had a lot of fun putting this together with us. You can tell how much Kelley means to him and it’s really cool to see a brother and sister that close together.”(Speed Channel PR)(8-3-2006)
