Coke Zero 400

I am really sorry, I would have had the results from Saturdays race up earlier, but it's been pretty busy this week. Anyway, Dale and Lance had a fast car for practice Thursday and Friday, but come Sunday night, the car would just not do anything they wanted it to do. By the time they finally got it to where Dale could start moving forward, Junebug got caught up in one of the big ones. David Reutimann got hit and slide up in front of Dale. Dale had no where to go and after spending a little over 20 laps trying to get it fixed enough for Dale to at least run it, Dale finished 39th and dropped in the points. Now that he has pretty much said that his chances for making the chase are slim, I'll go ahead and say it on here.

What some of these reporters are forgetting is the mid-season crew chief change that took place going into the Dover race. Dale and Lance are still building a driver/crew chief relationship and it going to take quite a while before the results of this time period are truely seen in race results. I have heard from several people, Mike Davis (Dale Jr's publicist) included, say that Dale has seemed happier and even had fun racing at Infineon. (I about fell outta my chair when I read that!!) So while the reporters (continue to) tell us that Dale won't make the chase this year, I will continue to support Dale no matter what, and JR Nation will prove Kyle Busch wrong. Dale Jr will once again be voted the sports most Popular Driver!!
