Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Sprint Cup championship hopes came to an end when he was eliminated from the Chase on Sunday at Talladega. But it's still been a great season for Earnhardt, and it started with a win in the Daytona 500. With wins at both races at Pocono, Earnhardt made 2014 his best season since 2004, when he won six races in the series. But during the second round of the Chase, his performance slipped and it eventually led to his elimination.
But Earnhardt shouldn't feel too disappointed, because he has proved this year that he can be successful with car owner Rick Hendrick. After a slow start with the team a few years ago, he has returned to being the competitive driver he once was, and was a serious threat to win the championship. Although he came up short, Earnhardt can truly look forward to next season with new crew chief Greg Ives.
