Dale Earnhardt Jr 2016 Preview
By Richard Tix
The Junior revival is in full force. Since 2012 he has turned a page in his career and become a much more balanced and consistent Cup driver. He has wins in three of four of those seasons, at least double digit top 5's in all four, and 20+ top 10's in all four.
In the last two he has put up 4 and 3 wins which has given him his best back to back season's since 2003 and 2004 when he put up 2 wins and 6 wins.
I think we have now seen the Junior that we will come to expect yearly and continue to see in 2016.
Bold Predictions/2016 Season Expectations:
- I think Jr moves past the first two rounds again in 2016 (missed it in 2015 and finished 12th), which is the round with 8 drivers left. Once there, I think he will make a push for the finale at Miami, but I do think he will come up short. However, it wont surprise me if he finally makes the final four. I think 2-3 wins, 12-14 top 5's, and 19-21 top 10's are in the cards for Earnhardt, which are all just a bit down from 2015.
