Speaking with reporters after Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s win at Michigan, his crew chief, Steve Letarte, was asked whether Letarte was more relieved or excited that Earnhardt's four-year winless streak was finally over.
"A little of both," Letarte replied.
NASCAR probably feels the same way now that the immensely popular Earnhardt has ended a string of 143 races in which he failed to reach Victory Lane. Although reigning Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart, who finished second to Earnhardt on Sunday, said "it's not a national holiday" that Earnhardt won again, it's not bad news, either, for stock car racing's premier series.
