Who's Not?
Could this be the second year in a row that Dale Earnhardt Inc. fails to put the most popular driver in all of NASCAR in the Chase for the Championship? Two years ago, DEI was considered one of the top teams in NASCAR. They dominated the restrictor plate races and had successes at the short tracks. However, two years is miles away in the competitive world of NASCAR.This season, DEI’s top driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr, has failed to win a single race. Not only is Earnhardt winless, his average finish at restrictor plate races thus far is 17th! Yesterday’s 43rd place finish at Pocono was the 5th race in a row that Dale finished 25th or worse. This recent string of poor performances has knocked Junior out of the top 10 in driver’s points, and will possibly cause him to miss the 2006 Chase for the Championship.
