By now most of you know that I am a huge Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan! Yesterday was a big day for Dale Jr. because he was able to earn enough points in the race that he is now locked into the NASCAR Sprint Cup Chase.
For those of you who aren't big racing fans, it means he qualifies to contend for the championship. It's sort of like earning a playoff spot in football or hockey. This is big because last year, at DEI, he did not qualify. Equipment problems and family issues kept him from competing in the Chase.
New year, new team, new chance for Dale Jr. to finish the season with a lot accomplished this year. He won a regular season race, as well as the Budweiser Shootout and another non-points race.
Good luck, Junior, as you continue to put rack up great finishes and maybe even some more victories this year!
