On Thursday, in Las Vegas, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was named in the Sprint Cup Series as the most popular driver for the ninth year. In this season Earnhardt was seventh in the Chase. Even though he did not win this season, he had more top 5 and top 10 finishes in this season than in the past 2 seasons.
Even though he has been named this title 9 times in a row, he still needs two more to pass the record of 10 in a row held by Bill Elliott. Elliott has been named this for 16 years in total. "
I am glad they didn't take the vote solely on the last race," Earnhardt said. "It would have gone to (Sprint Cup champion) Tony Stewart."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the son of Dale Earnhardt who was in the same career as his son. Dale Earnhardt died in the Daytona 500 on 2001 in a fatal crash were he had brute force trauma. He was the man that changed NASCAR safety. After his crash they installed safer barriers and escape hatches at the top of each car. Blog by Juan J.
