But even after just two races, some teams are already in a bit of trouble heading into Sunday’s third race of the year, the Shelby 427 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Having finished 27th at Daytona and 39th Feb. 22 at Fontana, Dale Earnhardt Jr. is already 252 points behind series leader Matt Kenseth, sitting a distant 35th in the standings.
“Two racesâ€"it is tough when you get in a hole like we are, ain’t no doubt about it, man,†Earnhardt said. “All you can do is go back to the race track and hope that something good happens, hope that you can regain some ground. It is going to take a lot of races. You are going to have to string a lot of runs together to come out of the hole we are in, but we have done it before.
“It’s very frustrating. We could have just as easily had two good runs. Either we beat ourselves or something bites us. Hopefully we’ll be able to turn it around and get some runs together in the next 10 weeks that will put us back up in the top 15 if not in the top 12. I know damn good and well where I am sitting right now.â€
