The Kannapolis, North Carolina native now needs a stellar finish at Las Vegas to get himself into the point standings picture. He currently sits a distant 35th in the ranking with 123 points.
Las Vegas has not exactly been a hot spot for Junior though, as he has just three top 10 finishes at the track in nine races there. Even with his second place showing last season, in which he led 17 laps, his average finish at the speedway is a mediocre 18.7.
Earnhardt, who drives the number 88 AMP Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports, has now raced in 329 Cup races and recorded 18 wins. He also has 86 top five runnings and 137 top 10 placements. His last victory came in June of 2008 when he took the top spot at Michigan.
Junior will start Sunday's race from the 31st position after qualifying at 29.389 seconds.
