Could Dale Earnhardt Jr. achievement two championships in 2008? This may be genuine possible, two championships, one as a chauffeur and one as an owner.

Earnhardt won his anterior point's victory on Sunday in the LifeLock 400 at the Michigan International Speedway. This victory was his fundamental after changing to Hendrick Motorsports for the 2008 season. Earnhardt did keep two contest wins at the dawn of the year on the contrary those were not point's races. The point's races are the ones that each remembers and counts during the season.

This relay was as well his cardinal vacation to victory pathway after 76 races. You could peep the felicity and relief on his face after the victory. All those encompassing him, exceptionally body owner Rick Hendrick and long-time crew manager Tony Eury were equally ecstatic. Earnhardt started the period in third position in the series points. He does not procedure up in the standings after this victory however he did chop the hole between ahead and third to single 84 points. Although this was his elementary victory this season, he was as well accelerated in Richmond; his consistent driving with eleven top ten finishes has him in athletic contention to be in the Chase for his headmost Dash Mug Championship.

Meanwhile, over in the Nationwide Series, line-up owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. must be pain acutely glad of his driver Brad Keselowski. Keselowski drove to a kill a week ago in Nashville and followed up this week with a moment dwelling finish. This week's race, the Meijer 300 at the Kentucky Speedway has everyone talking approximately the winner, childlike Joey Logano. Nevertheless for Secondary Nation, watching Keselowski stop fourth on Sunday must own everyone thinking about the opportunity of Earnhardt fitting a series prizewinner as a vehivle owner.

Keselowski moved up three positions to second corner in the series points. He is immediately onliest 170 points carry on series controller Clint Bowyer. There are much 19 races to birr in 2008, on the other hand how nectareous would it be to contemplate two championships in one year for Earnhardt.

The winner of five consecutive Most Usual Driver awards would commensurate no thing expanded than metamorphose a series champion, and two in one year, that would be still nicer.
