Dale Jr. had a victorious day in the LifeLock 400 at Michigan International Speedway – and ended an endless streak of 76 races. A win could not have come on a better day – Father’s Day. Earnhardt’s much anticipated first win of 2008 was achieved through a brilliant combination of strategy from cousin and crew chief Tony Eury Jr. and smooth driving by Jr. Ironically, Dale Jr. entered today’s race with a winless streak matching his father’s career number of victories – 76. There are numerous ironies. And yet, one can only imagine the thoughts Dale Jr. must have had as he made his way across the finish line– was Dad once again sitting beside him. I am sure there are two happy Dale Earnhardt’s today.

Congratulations to Dale Earnhardt Jr., the Earnhardt Family and Hendrick Motorsports.
