DALE EARNHARDT JR., THE SON OF THE LATE DALE EARNHARDT,
WON 2 BGN CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES IN A ROW. HE DROVE THE #3
AC DELCO CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO FOR DEI, HIS DADS COMPANY.


HE WAS DUBBED "THE DOMINATOR" FOR HIS WAY OF DOMINATING MOST
RACES, AND OF COURSE, "THE INTIMIDATOR" WAS ALREADY TAKEN.












DALE JR BEGAN HIS FIRST FULL YEAR IN WINSTON CUP IN GRAND
FASHION, DRIVING THE RED #8 BUD CHEVY,EVEN WINNING THE
WINSTON, THE ALL STAR RACE.




BUT HIS SEASON FADED SOMEWHAT IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE
SEASON.THE #8 WAS HIS GRANDFATHER RALPH'S NUMBER WHEN HE
DROVE.HE LOST ROOKIE OF THE YEAR TO FRIEND,AND FELLOW BGN
COMPETITOR MATT KENNSETH.


He did have a part in recreating one Winston Cup milestone
when he competed with his father and older half brother,
Kerry Earnhardt,in the Pepsi 400 at Michigan International
Speedway,making only the second time a father had raced
against two sons.Lee,Richard and Maurice Petty had
previously accomplished the feat.




In his sophomore year the pressure will be on the
Kannapolis, N.C., native,
but Jr.. has been faced with big expectations ever since
he's been in racing.
He's always met the challenge in his own carefully
crafted and adhered to fashion.

DALE JR GOT SOME REVENGE ON JULY 7 WHEN HE DOMINATED AND WON
THE PEPSI 400 IN DAYTONA.
