Dale Jr Confident Amid Disaster
Dale Earnhardt Jr had a confident tone even after disaster struck dur in g Saturday nights Budweiser Shootout . The race ended in a crash for Junior.
I like this k in d of rac in g better, Earnhardt said, talk in g about the big pack style of rac in g that Daytona is famous for. At least I know what to expect. I feel like I have a better chance with this style than I did last year for damn sure.
You just hold your damn car where it needs to be and not drive around like an idiot, Dale Jr expla in ed. If you want to drive your car in a straight l in e and be sensible it is possible.
Pack rac in g fits Earnhardt driv in g style better. He is a calculat in g driver when it comes to superspeedway rac in g. Always th in k in g a step ahead.
Earnhardt described how the car drives with NASCARs new aero package designed to elim in ate 2 by 2 tandem rac in g. Theres just a massive clos in g rate, said Earnhardt.If you get bogged down guys can just fly around you.
Earnhardt hopes the Daytona 500 will go a little smoother than the Shootout. Be in g 500 miles guys might use a little better judgment, but I wouldnt count on it. Its a pretty big deal to w in and its go in g to be a lot of guys pretty excited about their prospects of w in n in g it. Still pretty much any car can w in . The lotterys still there for the whole field.
Earnhardt has a fast car. He qualified 3 rd on Sunday afternoon. Next up are the Gatorade Dual 150s.
What do you th in k about this style of rac in g so far?
