4.29.08 - Happy 57th Birthday Dale Earnhardt. You are still greatly missed.
Jeff Burton retains the point lead after Talladega. Earnhardt Jr. is still 3rd in points after a 10th place finish, only 79 points behind Burton. Earnhardt Jr. still has the most top-10's of any driver this year with 7 of the 9 races run so far.
For the record, on the restart with 5 laps to go in the Aaron's 499 at Talladeda, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was in 29th position after suffering damage to the rear of his car during an earlier crash. In 5 laps, he rallied back up to take 10th place. And if the field didn't get frozen after that last lap incident, he could have very well gotten more spots out of it. The only other person that could pull off that many positions in that short of time at a restrictor plate track would be: Dale Earnhardt.

1.06.08 - Hey racing fans! It's been almost 6 years since I last updated this site. I am now 21 years old. It is hard to believe I pulled this off when I was so young. I began this site when I was only 13. I was 14 when Dale Earnhardt Sr. died. In the past handful of years, I would still consider myself a NASCAR fan but not nearly to the extent that I was years ago. I am a Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan respectively, and am enjoying the career of Little E. I am discouraged about the recent changes that have plagued this great sport. From the change of the name from Winston Cup to Nextel Cup - to the now Sprint Cup series, to the number of rule changes such as the point system, provisionals, car models and designs, tracks, scheduling, and the "Car of Tomorrow", the sport has changed drastically. Some of the changes, like the safety barrier have benifited the sport, but some of the others have taken away from the thrill of the sport and what made it what it is. I remember a race at Bristol in the early 1990's where Harry Gant crashed head-on into the wall. He limped around to the pits, they hammered out some dings, ripped off the hood, and sent him back out - he went on to come back and win. There are certain things now that have changed so much, the sport seems more concerned on the commercial aspect then the competition and the fans wants. Since the death of Dale Earnhardt, NASCAR has made a 180 and is still a great sport, but it is not the great sport that I remember and grew to love. I'm sure many of you have realized those same things and can truly say that the sport is not what it once was. After the time off from this site, I can see how many of you supported me, Dale, and the great sport of NASCAR. You have no idea how much the support means to me. I am so damn proud to still have this site on the web and for great fans like you to continue to visit, and experience a nostalgic look back on the "Earnhardt era" of NASCAR. Thank you for your continued support long after I stopped keeping up on it. After coming across it again, I was blown away by how much I accomplished on this site, and even more blown away by the reaction of you fans. You have no idea how much it really means to me and thats why I took this opportunity to say THANK YOU to all of you who helped make this site what it was, and you will never be forgotten. This site will never be what it once was, but the links on the side and the information that is provided will always be there for those who find it useful. I appreciate everything so very much - it means the world to me.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., may not be in the Budweiser #8 anymore, and he may have teamed up with Jeff Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports, but he is still the flesh and blood of the greatest NASCAR driver to ever grace the asphalt of the great sport of NASCAR. So go #88 in 2008!
Thank you again, and it is nice to speak to all of you one more time.
-Chris
