“I’m looking forward to Bristol because I’ve had some success there, and it’s good short track racing. Although I like racing at the Michigans and Atlantas because they are fast and you can choose your groove, I’ve grown up racing at short tracks and just like them.” Dale Jr..

Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 National Guard/AMP Energy Chevrolet, will be going for his second straight Michigan International Speedway win this Sunday. 

Dale Earnhardt Jr. (No. 88 National Guard/AMP Energy Chevrolet) hopes history repeats history this Sunday at Michigan International Speedway.

“Well, I would trade my season with Kyle any day,” he said. “He’s had a great year and won a lot of races. He’s a real amazing talent behind the wheel. 

It has always been my opinion that the winner of a race is not necessarily the best driver. This is true even when Junior may win. 

In eight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series starts at Watkins Glen International, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has scored two top-five finishes and three top-10s.

“Pocono is a tough, tough race track to get a hold of, more so than Indy. That’s why we picked it to test instead of Indianapolis. It’s not that the teams didn’t want to test there. There were more important places to go.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Matt Kenseth went to visit the suites of their respective sponsors, Budweiser and Smirnoff, at nearly the same time. When Kenseth was ready to leave, he tried to take an elevator to the ground level but he was rejected by NASCAR officials who were holding the elevator for Earnhardt Jr.

“I go on iTunes a lot,” Earnhardt said after one slow pitch was lobbed in his direction. “Does everybody remember the mini-series Lonesome Dove? Yeah? That just came out on DVD. They just released it. And iTunes has released it. So, I downloaded that. 

Busch still a target of fan hatred, hears cheers sprinkled among the boos while, cheers have never been an issue for Earnhardt, the sport’s most popular driver.

“We’ve had that consistency and have been able to show up every weekend and have something for them (the fans).”

“I would not have any interest in purchasing any race team, just to have the ownership.”

In seven Sprint Cup Series starts at Chicagoland Speedway, Earnhardt has recorded one win, two top-five finishes and three top-10s. He scored his highest qualifying position on July 15, 2007 when he started fifth.

“I just like going down there. Daytona Speedweeks is a historic event. It means a lot for me personally and for my family. The track itself has a lot of history. It’s kind of like the grandfather of the series when it comes to racetracks.” --Dale Jr.

In 14 NASCAR Nationwide Series starts at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has recorded five wins, seven top-five finishes, eight top-10s and one pole position. Most recently, Earnhardt won at Daytona in June 2006 after leading 88 of the 103 laps. He has led a total of 467 laps there. His average start is 13.4, and his average finish is 11.2.

Junior’s attitude—essentially giving up before the race even started—doesn’t jibe with his career aspirations. Championships be damned, wins not withstanding, there is one thing every driver wants. They want people to say, “Damn, that guy can win in anything, on anything.”
