Is This The Year For Earnhardt?
Could this be Junior’s year?
Rick Hendrick, Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr. spent the last month talking about how those in-house, offseason moves would make a difference.
On Saturday, they may have convinced everyone else.
Martin and Earnhardt posted the top qualifying runs and secured the front row for next week’s Daytona 500. It might not mean as much as Hendrick Motorsports’ 1-2-3 finish in last season’s Sprint Cup standings, but the latest sweep provided some validation to those changes made in hopes of bolstering both teams and getting crew chiefs Alan Gustafson (Martin) and Lance McGrew (Earnhardt) on the same page.
I suppose we’ll find out soon enough, eh?
