Dale Jr. Snaps 76 Race Loss Drought
16.06.08Finally, after leaving Dale Earnhardt industries, betraying his loyal fans and family, Dale Jr. has found himself on winner’s circle again at Michigan. It was a gamble, but Jr. went the last 55 laps on one tanks of gas, which meant he was virtually running on fumes for the final lap of the race. But when you have lost 76 in a row and your entire fan base is starting to question you, then you must go for it. But his critics say otherwise, that he won by a mere gamble and by getting lucky. He responded:
“I mean, my fans are happy and I’m happy for them. The other half are going to tear this apart on how we won this race. But I got the trophy and I got the points. I got to see my team and my owner and my family tonight as happy as they’ve been in a long time. … It’s a pretty big day for me.”
Eh, it was a good win, but you still have the likes of Jimmy Johnson and Kasey Kahne to compete against. And in my opinion, these 2 are, if not already, the future of NASCAR.
