DW says Dale Jr. should run some truck races:

  • in a Q&A, 3-time Cup Champ and FOX broadcaster Darrell Waltrip said of Dale Earnhardt Jr.: “Expectations are so high with him that if he’s not winning, then the world is not right and so I think they’re making baby steps to get him back to where he needs to be. I told (car owner) Rick (Hendrick) and I really, honestly believe this, I’d run him in some truck races. He needs to get somehwere where he can win, and I’d get him in a truck. Not a Nationwide car, a truck. They’re fun to drive, have a good time in the truck series. If I was Junior, I’d go talk to (Kevin) Harvick and ask him if I could drive that 2 truck. I’d go out, and I’d win me a couple of races and I think that’s what he needs, it would really help his confidence, and I think his fans would enjoy seeing him do that. I think it would be a win-win.”(Virginian Pilot)(3-23-2010)
