Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Lamar Jackson have found themselves in a peculiar legal battle. Dale Jr., of course, became one of the faces of NASCAR while driving the No. 8 car. Jackson has worn that same number throughout his football career and has won two MVPs with it.

Lamar Jackson’s drive to win the battle of the famous No. 8s is racing on. Last year, Jackson challenged a trademark claim from Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman to put “EIGHT” on apparel and bags.

Per ESPN's Jamison Hensley, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson filed an opposition claim with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this week to prevent NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. from using a stylized No. 8 on merchandise.

Since then, Junior has run the #8 car in a race for the CARS Tour, a late model short track series in which Dale Jr. is a co-owner. And he’s also released merch featuring his #8 car that many fans associate with the Hall of Fame driver.

The NFL quarterback Lamar Jackson has recently filed a legal dispute against NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. over use of number 8 as TM.

Lamar Jackson also challenged Troy Aikman over a trademark dispute in the past, now moving to a popular NASCAR figure.

NFL MVP Lamar Jackson makes his acting debut in 'Power Book III: Raising Kanan' season 4 as E-Tone, a tough and intimidating character.

The No. 8 has been well known among many athletes in sports that donned the number. Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson has taken his association with that number to another level
