Jared Turner: Dale Earnhardt Jr. can get season on course at Daytona
By Jared Turner - SceneDaily Staff Writer
Tuesday, June 30, 2009
Hendrick Motorsports driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. has won twice at Daytona International Speedway during his NASCAR Sprint Cup Series career.

COMMENTARY
In life – and NASCAR – there are seemingly few opportunities for true vindication for an event or moment gone awry.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. will have such an opportunity in Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway.
It was at Daytona more than four months ago that the slow-moving-train wreck now known as Earnhardt Jr.’s season took its first journey off course.
Just about everything that could have gone wrong did for the Hendrick Motorsports driver in the 2009 Daytona 500 at DIS, as he finished 27th after twice overshooting his pit stall. The bigger story, however, was the 10-car melee brought about by Earnhardt Jr. sliding into Brian Vickers on the backstretch as he tried to get back a lost lap.
The wreck gobbled up several top contenders and set off an atypical firestorm of criticism toward NASCAR’s most popular driver in the days that followed. He has yet to completely recover.
Since that disastrous day in Daytona, Earnhardt Jr. has posted just one top-five and three top-10s in 16 outings. As Hendrick teammates Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Mark Martin all appear to be in fairly healthy shape to make the 2009 Chase For The Sprint Cup, Earnhardt Jr. won’t get another title shot until at least 2010.
Saddled 19th in the standings, it’s too late to rally into Chase contention with only nine races left before the 12-driver, championship-eligible field is set.
So all Earnhardt Jr. needs to focus on right now is getting better. And in five races under the guidance of recently assigned interim crew chief Lance McGrew, that appears to be happening.
No, Earnhardt Jr. hasn’t gone out and won all five races since team owner Rick Hendrick separated he and cousin crew chief Tony Eury Jr. at the end of May. In fact, Earnhardt Jr. hasn’t posted a single top-10.
But his performances have improved, as evidenced by three top-15s, including one in last Sunday’s race at New Hampshire. In that race, he surged as high as third, battled hard for second and probably would have finished no worse than 10th if a few drivers hadn’t stretched their fuel to the rain-shortened finish.
Expectations will be higher for Earnhardt Jr. at Daytona, a place where he owns two points-paying Cup wins, five wins in what is now the Nationwide Series and several more trophies from trips to victory lane in Speedweeks exhibition races.
Daytona, of course, is also the site of Earnhardt Jr.’s most agonizing day in the sport and perhaps the hardest day of his life. It’s where his father, seven-time Cup champion Dale Earnhardt, died in an accident on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500.
Earnhardt Jr. returned to DIS that summer – eight years ago this weekend – and scored an emotional victory that was the first after his father’s death.
That race turned out to be a pivotal moment in the career of Earnhardt Jr., who went on to build a reputation as one of NASCAR’s best restrictor-plate drivers.
Of all his memories at the Daytona – both good and bad – this year’s season-opener has to rank among the worst. There was no tragedy as in 2001, but it was one of the worst performances of Earnhardt Jr.’s career.
Maybe with a win or otherwise strong showing on Saturday night, he can finally forget that day and get his season pointed in the right direction.
It couldn’t happen at a more fitting place.

Jun 30, 2009 at 8:10 AMIt was awesome to see Jr. up front! And you could tell he felt awesome when he said he could see the front of the field in his windshield. For the first time in a long time, all 4 Hendrick cars were in the top 10! He did not win, but he drove great and Lance is making good calls for Jr. It is about time he got back with someone with the ability to keep him going forward, not backward. Daytona should be awesome too! As long as he is not caught up in an accident, he should do gr88!

Jun 30, 2009 at 8:33 AMLike many drivers, Jr. seems to have lost the EDGE. He needs to get it back. I am not sure that TONY was the problem, but I am also convinced that whomever Hendricks puts in there as a crew chief, they will have the knowledge and expertise to do the job. (they all have the same engines, the same car builders, and the same information for set-ups, and yet Jr. struggles.
Report as AbuseJr. GET HUNGRY! Be a race car driver! Race like you are GOING to win, not like it's a second thought.... Face it, this season is shot, so why not GO FOR IT at ALL TIMES. (kind of like Kyle B does each and every race...)

Jun 30, 2009 at 6:08 PMJr started 13th that day but it didn't take him but sixteen laps to take the lead. I've watched that race fifty times and still get choked up when Pops stood up and waved him around with two laps two go. Waltrip pulled off a move with two to go and when Jr won he put the car in the infield. Danny Myers (gas man for RCR) was the first of many to grab him and give that kid a hug. By far the best race i've ever seen. I'm just glad i recorded it and now it's on a DVD. If he could pull this off this weekend i would clap until my hands bleed.

Jun 30, 2009 at 6:10 PMPost #25, that just aint nice and it aint fair either. If you are talking about the 500 of '01, Michael Waltrip was the winner in the DEI#15 car. Junior was 2nd. BUT, if you are talking about the Pepsi 400 of '01, Junior prolly led the most laps. Do you really think any driver would hold back and let another driver win with all the sponsorship money involved? You dont think Elliot Sadler wanted to win that race? He came in 3rd. Junior would be royally pi**ed to see your post. Junior cant go out in society without being mobbed but I do believe if he had the opportunity........

Jun 30, 2009 at 6:44 PMThank you to Mr. Turner for a very good article.Unless you have lived through a tragedy of losing someone in an accident,then you can't imagine how hard it is to go back to the place .I lost my son when the factory exploded where he worked. It's been over 6 yrs,but I have never been to that place and I have tried.God bless Jr for being able to even continue to drive a race car. Saturday night,88 team,just do your best and true fans never leave their driver.

Jun 30, 2009 at 8:44 PMGlad to see all the true Jr fans on here. I am a Jr. and Dallas Cowboy fan. I cheered for the Cowboys when they was 1-15 and when they won the super bowls and I cheer for Jr if he wins or no matter where he finishes.A true fan sticks with his team or driver no matter how they are doing. GO Jr. !!!!

Jun 30, 2009 at 8:52 PMI can almost hear it now if Jr wins. It was a restrictor plate race, if whomever didn't crash he would have won. If it rains and Jr is leading it will be a rain win which doesn't count. We heard all the excuses when he won at Michigan last year. Get ready Jr fans the excuses will becoming if Dale Jr wins. This excuse will be the best ever.... He won because he was driving a camouflage National Guard car, no one saw him coming up on the outside.

Jun 30, 2009 at 8:54 PM#19 Very well said. And to all of you who post positive every week. Jr has proud fans and always will. I have no doubt Nation will vote him most popular again this year. Just because he is most dedicated to us. He is honest and works hard to. I have seen this year as others how hard it is for him to go out in public.But as he has said he handles it and appreciates all of us. And we know how good he is despite what others say. Its in the books and media and experts on this sport have always said Jr. has proven that he got what it takes and records show it. The rest of this season I believe he will do very well. Who knows he could end up collecting that 13th place check. I for one hope so but if not this fan will never check out on him.He will be back 2010 better than ever. Go 88 team get Daytona back

Jul 1, 2009 at 9:22 AM#47,I think Dale Jr. is KB's nightmare.KB keeps trying to take Jr's fans away and he can't,no matter how many laps he leads or races he wins. You all need to understand Dale Jr fans are loyal to him and we don't base it on wins.It is because we know he's our kind and he cares about his fans and like he said,we can take care of ourselves.I am just another of those crazy Jr fans with an 88 tattoo and so proud of it.

Jul 1, 2009 at 12:30 PMI agree Phyllis, he sure talks about Jr every chance he gets. Jr will be fine, and his fans will always support him.I doubt Jr gives Kyle a thought except when Kyle shoots his mouth off. He probably should worry about drivers, like Truex and Vickers after Loudon, instead of Jr.I think they are more likely to go after him somewhere. Carol-88-fan, not Anonymous.
