Jr brought the car home in one piece - and a 2nd place finish at a track where he was expected to do well felt good to the team I'm sure. Obviously 1 race doesn't make a season so we'll see where he goes from here. If Dale Jr returns to winning, is it good for NASCAR? Most folks say so. But those same folks say a winning Yankees team is good for baseball, the NFL benefits from hot teams like the Packers and Cowboys, the Red Wings (and any Canadian team that can win) help the NHL, and a Lakers/Celtics final helps the NBA (scratch that - I'm not sure anything can help the NBA. Not even this Lin kid.)
But you know, I'm not crazy about ANY of those scenarios because they aren't my personal fave. So frankly, any Dale Jr win will be one less win for any team I pull for. So a selfish basis, I'm not too concerned about the streak continuing.
Having said that, I still can't resist including this:
