Dale Earnhardt Jr
He fought a strong battle but the 2007 chase for the cup ended for Dale Earnhardt Jr. with yet another blown engine. The finish of The Chevy Excitement 400 was just that, very exciting as Dale Jr., Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon and finally David Ragan tried their best to hunt down race winner Jimmie Johnson.
But even if Earnhardt finished first it would not have mattered because all the drivers ahead of him had locked up the first twelve positions to qualify for NASCAR'S version of a ten race play off. Jimmie Johnson has come on strong again just at the right time as his Lowes Chevy team is primed for a defense of his 2006 championship. Johnson will go into next weeks race at New Hampshire as the #1 seed in a very strong field of 12 cars and drivers.
Don't feel to bad for Dale Jr. because win or lose he still remains the most popular and most highly paid driver in the Cup garage. With the move to Hendrick Motor Sports in 2008 he has a strong future in a sport that his given him more than most can expect. Being a big Dale Jr. fan I myself can't wait for next year to start and see what he can do with an inherently stronger team.
Back to the chase, we have to keep our eyes on Jimmie Johnson, Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards as they seem to have the most momentum going into the championship run. Put your money on Johnson and Stewart to battle for the top prize that NASCAR has to offer because they have the two best teams, which is what you need for a chance to win the big prize. Who do you think will win? Drop me a line and give me your opinion.
