Dale Earnhardt Jr Worst Season in NASCAR
Dale Earnhardt Jr is NASCAR nobody has the fan base or carries the sport as much as he does. He is the son of the sport’s most beloved driver. It is funny to see how his career has gone so far were he does have over 100 top 5 and top 10 finishes but only 18 career wins and no championships. In 2008 he made the move from his father’s company DEI inc. to Hendrick MotorSports were in his first season with the new team he won at Michigan Motor speedway an snapped a 100 plus race winless streak. Although that brought the sort success that would be all the success he would see in 2008. Although the rest of his season was not anything special the team had moments of brilliance but the team often found themselves not being able keep up with changing track conditions and the handling of the race car, because of this Dale Jr often found himself running toward the back of pack with disappointing finishes. His 2009 season was not any better where he did not have any wins and not many top 5 and top10 finishes. Some of the same problems that he had last year fallowed right into 2009 many people around Hendrick Motorsports are said that they don’t like Dale Jr because he brought some of his crew member with him when he came to Hendrick instead of using one of their crew members. This is probably why his first two years at Hendrick has been so unsuccessful because no one is willing to help him because they are not on the same page as a team and company. Or could this be something else were Dale Jr may not be as good as a driver as everyone thinks he is may he’s as joke living off the family name. May be instead of the most popular driver award it should be the biggest joke of the year award. Man his father would be a shamed
