Dale Earnhardt Jr. can win two championships in 2008
Could Dale Earnhardt Jr. two-time champion to win in 2008? This could very likely two championships, one as a manager and an owner.
Earnhardt won his first victory on Sunday in the lock of life at 400 Michigan International Speedway. This victory was the first after the passage of Hendrick Motorsports for the 2008 season. Earnhardt has two victories in the early years, but was not racing a point. The point of races are those who remembercount during the season.

Around him, including team owner Rick Hendrick and the long-time crew chief Tony Eury was ekstatiese. Earnhardt started the day in third position in Series points. He is not moving in the post after that victory, but he found the hole had reduced first and third with only 84 points. Although it was hisfirst victory this season, is very close to Richmond, his road race with eleven top-ten has a strong claim to be in the Chase for his first Sprint Cup Championship.
Meanwhile, the reins of the Nationwide Series, team owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. feeling very proud of his driver Brad Keselowski. Keselowski drove to victory a week ago in Nashville and followed this week with a second place. Race this week, Meijer 300 at Kentucky Speedwayeveryone talks about winning, young Joey Logano. But the nation's junior, looks Keselowski finishing fourth Sunday should think about the possibility of Earnhardt to implement a league championship as a car owner.
Keselowski moved to three positions to second place in series points. He is now only 170 points behind series leader Clint Bowyer. There are still 19 races remaining in 2008, but how great it would be two championships in a year to see Earnhardt.
TheThe winner of five consecutive Drivers More Awards wants nothing more than a sample of the series, and two in a year, which would be even better.
