Its been what, about 67 races since Dale Earnhardt Jr won his last pole position?
He’s just like his Dad.
Dale Earnhardt wasn’t the best pole winner either, he just concentrated on set-up more than anything.
As long as he qualified in the top 20 he was fine, and he had the past Champion’s Provisional to make sure he was in the show each week as they didn’t have the Top 35 Rule back when Dale Sr was driving. And he had to use that past Champion’s Provisional a time or two too.
