DALE JR'S CAREER AT HMS
DALE EARNHARDT JR
DALE JR STARTED HIS CAREER IN NASCAR RACING IN THE BUSCH SERIES FIRST WINNING THE 1998 AND 1999 BUSCH CHAMPIONSHIPS. THEN HE STARTED IN THE CUP SERIES IN 2000 AS A ROOKIE BATTLING MATT KENSETH FOR THE ROOKING OF THE YEAR.(KENSETH WON). THEN IN 2001 THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED. HE LOST HIS FATHER IN THE FIRST RACE OF THE YEAR. AND THAT SET OFF A WHIRLWIND OF A YEAR FOR THE JR EARNHARDT. HOW HE GOT THROUGHT IT ALL AND KEPT HIS SANITY IS JUST WHAT AMAZES ME. I'D HAVE GIVEN IT UP CAUSE I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE ALL THAT. BUT HE WAS AN EARNHARDT AND EARNHARDTS DON'T GIVE UP. HE KEPT ON AND THEY DID GREAT AT DEI AFTER THAT WITH JUNIOR BEING IN THE TOP CONTENTION FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2004. BUT THINGS WASN'T RIGHT BEHIND THE SCENES OF DEI THAT WE DIDN'T SEE CAUSE AFTER THAT IT SEEMS THEY WERE GOING BACKWARDS INSTEAD OF FORWARD. I FIGURED THEY WERE WORKING ON GETTING THINGS RIGHT BUT THEN WE HEAR A ANNOUNCEMENT THAT JR WAS LEAVING THE COMPANY AND WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THAT. HE WAS THE ROCK THAT HELD THAT COMPANY TOGETHER AFTER HIS DAD DIED BUT EVEN A ROCK CAN TAKE SO MUCH BEFORE IT CRACKS. BELOW IS THE HISTORY OF THE DALE JR THE 8 AMD BUDWEISER.
