It’s been a great year, and we’re going to put our focus on finishing in a positive way this weekend.”

Can the trend continue? Well…
Earnhardt has struggled at Dover of late, having failed to finish in the top 10 in each of the last eight Dover races. His last one, last October, he finished two laps down.
