Dale Earnhardt Jr. rebounded for a top 5 finish in Saturday’s Xfinity race at Homestead after crashing into his own driver.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. competed in only two NASCAR Xfinity Series races this year, but the 49-year-old driver showed he hasn’t lost his magic touch.In Saturday’s Contender Boats 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Earnhardt Jr. produced a top-five finish, finishing 7.884-seconds behind JR Motorsports, the team he owns, teammate and race winner Sam Mayer. “The car was not doing what I wanted it to do, but we worked on it,” Earnhardt Jr. says. “I sent us the wrong way at the first break.
”Last month, Earnhardt Jr. led once for 47 laps at Bristol and appeared headed for a top-10 finish before his car developed a problem and caught fire. He escaped with a burn on his uniform leg and had to settle for a 30th-place finish. However, he joined JR Motorsports driver Justin Allgaier in victory lane. While in the infield media center for his post-race interview as the winning car owner, Earnhardt Jr. said he would compete in one Xfinity Series race next year.
