Jr. is looking good

After last Sunday's win at Michigan, I really feel that Dale Earnhardt Jr. will take off. Now, it's not like he hadn't been doing very well before the win, getting six top fives.

However, this win should give him tons of confidence. Even though he says that he wasn't worried about not winning, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, it had to have had some effect, on him even if is wasn't as big as we all thought.

To get that 0-76 monkey off his back must of felt good, and now he can just race without worrying about the pressure to finally win an event.

Right now, Junior is third in the standings, eighty-four points behind Kyle Busch. I'm not making any predictions, but he seems to be in the driver's seat right now. He has momentum on his side, and can continue to gain ground in the standings and make a run with a good race at Sonoma on Sunday.
