Will Earnhardt Win During The 2012 Season

Last year Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 7th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series under his new crew chief Steve Letarte. The previous year he had finished the season in 21st place in the points standings under his old crew chief Lance McGrew.

Although he still hasn’t won a race since 2008, Dale Jr. and Steve Letarte made huge strides and really improved over the 2011 season. He could have easily shot Kevin Harvick up the hill at Martinsville to reclaim the lead and put an end to his winless streak, but Dale said he wanted to race him clean, and I’m sure Junior Nation can respect that.

Then there was the Coca-Cola 600 when Jimmie Johnson blew up, Dale Junior was coming to the checkers and ran out of gas! Kevin Harvick ultimately once again claimed a victory during that race.

Dale also hung out at the back of the pack under Chad Kanaus’s request in an effort to stay out of trouble for the race which ultimately worked against junior to the point where, when he got out of the car he said he was done sand bagging at these tracks.

I think in the 2012 season Dale will finally end his dry spell and claim the checkers more than once.

  1. He’s like his dad in that sense. He definitely has a knack for picking winning drivers for Jr. Motorsports.

    Danica will be great for NASCAR, she’s a great driver, has great talent. Tony Stewart and Jr. have been showing her how to run at certain tracks as well and kind of mentoring her.
