EARNHARDT LOSING STREAK REACHES 51

Posted 10/12/09 at 11:10 AM PDT by | Email This |

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s season of unrelenting misery and inexplicable failure continued at Auto Club Speedway, where the 88 team started 37th and ran all the way up in the top 10, only to see all of its hard work wiped out in a crash of someone else's making. On lap 246, Earnhardt was bumped from behind by Elliott Sadler, triggering an eight-car wreck that took the 88 out of the running for the top 10. He finished 25th. Said Earnhardt, "We are doing whatever we can to stay positive. We had a top 10 car today and it's unfortunate that a lot of good cars got tore up there at the end."

Let's focus on the positive. The sport's most popular driver might be on a 51-race losing streak, but at least he doesn't suck anymore. One of these weeks - maybe at Talladega - he is going to contend for a win again. Can't happen soon enough.

The team is running about as good as they did last year but they keep getting in trouble late in races. It looks like Dale is making good calls on what to do to the car. I mean, they aint going backwards like they used to late in a race but the results arnt there cause of non sense wreaks like at New Hampshire and California. And he got caught on pit road twice. If he is praying, I dont think God is hearing him. But next year has potential to be a good year. A clean slate is what this 88 team needs. So go get em this year buddy. Dale Jr. fan for life!!!
