 Why is Dale Earnhardt Jr. Struggling?
The last time Dale Earnhardt Jr. won a NASCAR race, we were still an anonymous blog, Pacman Jones and his crew hadn’t popularized the phrase “Making it Rain,” Scarlett was single and Alba wasn’t pregnant.

    i dont bud , got to disagree with you on this one.  Junior may not be winning but he's having his best season in a few years.  He's rejevunated and now has some great cars to go with his talent. He keeps this up the wins will fall in place, just got to be consistent and he's been probably the most consistent after Kyle this year.

    I don't see him struggling. I see him in third place in points and with the best record so far this year among those who are part of the Hendrick Dynasty. He is doing exactly what he needs to do to stay in the top part of the standings. There is no doubt that he will win races, and those races will probably be the ones that really count, during the Chase for the Championship.

    I have to disagree right from the get-go on your premise. I don't consider a 3rd place in the point standings as struggling. The only lousy finishes Junior has had have come from when he's been wrecked. He's not pressing like he did last year.

    The wins will follow.

I don’t even need to explain what “the incident” is. Everyone knows. 2. It is really, really not wise to attempt to defend Kyle Busch. 3. No one will remember that Denny Hamlin had the rest of the field ...
