Junior Locks Up Chase. Celebrates By Losing!
|
|
September 1, 2008 Pepsi 500 - Fontana Cal. |

By the 60th lap in last nights Pepsi 500 Dale
Earnhardt Jr. had secured himself a spot in this
years Sprint Cup Championship Chase. At that point
Earnhardt was running in the top ten and had been
reeling in more talented driver slowly but steadily
all afternoon. Unfortunately, for Junior Nation when
Junior got the word he'd be in the Chase he took his
foot off of the accelerator and drifted back to the
rest of the field.
Earnhardt Jr. finished 11th, but it was obvious from
the beginning that his Hendrick Motor sports Amp
Energy Chevrolet had the horsepower to keep up with
eventual race winner Jimmie Johnson and runner-up
Greg Biffle. It was also obvious that it's driver
was not motivated to be a factor in the race.
"Junior just wants to be part of the Chase. He knows
he can't win it." said one observer. "It's obvious
in a long race like this."
Number 88 crew chief, Tony Eury Jr. and the Amp
Energy crew did everything they could to keep Junior
in the race, but the driver just couldn't (or
wouldn't) make it happen. When track turbulence
broke a light standard from grandstands and it fell
to the track an obviously shaken and stunned
Earnhardt Jr. appeared to try to exit his car at the
next pit stop, but was "talked into staying in the
car and finishing the race" according to a source.
"I can't wait for the Chase to start. Juniors going
to be fun to watch finish in the top twenty every
week!" said Molly Tuffernan from Butte, Montana.

if he was on an under financed team he’d never crack the top
