The Big Moment – Kansas Fall 2014
Last fall at Kansas a ton of drivers had problems. One driver’s issue was more notable than the others though. The driver with the most notable problem was Dale Earnhardt Jr. In October 2014 he had a great car. Our PROS Rankings show you who subjectively had the best car and he ranked #1.
Last fall at Kansas he started in 8th but finished 39th. In the race he was leading on lap 122 but he pounded the wall hard and got heavy damage. Before he got into the wall he led 45 laps. His strength in the race was being good over long runs. What made him so good is that his car could run a little higher than others in the corners which allowed him to carry more speed down the straightaways.
