I like many around here am a dale jr fan. I have to admit I have NEVER seen a driver come so close and just fail to seal the deal like dale jr. Granted I don't think anyone could have held off harvick at the very end after the last restart. This has to be getting old. I personally would have door slammed harvick coming to the white when he got to the outside. create a craven busch moment again. I can look back and think of probably 8 wins that have slipped from jr's grasp for whatever reason in the last 3 years. 4 of them involve kevin harvick. dale jr vs harvick martinsville, dale jr runs out of gas final corner at charlotte harvick wins. this year at phoenix and again at darlington. beyond that hamlin beat him at homestead last year and JJ out ran him on 2 tires at dover. This has become something that almost seems mental. The number one problem dale jr has is restarts he had help last night and it just about won the thing for him. But the problem is when you almost always lose a couple spots on restarts everytime that is just too tuff to make up. He needs 4-5 laps to bring the car up to speed again. It just sucks Darlington is such a cool track and a win there is way better than a win just about anywhere else.
