We've seen a lot doom and gloom written about the ol' red No. 8 team heading towards Vegas this weekend, but not a lot of folks picked up on an interesting stat provided to us by Micah Roberts, who sets the race odds for Vegas casinos and other outlets.
In Dale Jr’s 256 career Cup starts, he has recorded back-to-back DNFs four times. Immediately following the three previous scenarios, the Bud team scored two victories and a sixth place finish. So, where will they finish this weekend with their fave chassis (#039)?
Previous Back-to-Back DNFs and the results at the following race:
1.) Darlington / Bristol March 2000
Next Race: Texas / First Career Victory
2.) Martinsville / Atlanta Oct. 2004
Next Race: Phoenix / Career Win #15
3.) Loudon / Pocono July 2006
Next Race: Indianapolis / sixth place
4.) Daytona / California Feb. 2007
Next Race: Las Vegas / ?!? |
