Spotter's Stand: Setbacks Can't Slow Dale Earnhardt Jr. From Top Five

Filed under: , , , , , , , , ,

For the first time all season, Dale Earnhardt Jr. had a top-five finish that didn't come at a restrictor plate track. For that matter, it didn't come at Daytona.

Earnhardt weathered two significant setbacks during the course of Sunday's 300-miler at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and avoided other trouble (such as the spinning Denny Hamlin at right) to manage a fourth-place finish, his best since the same result at Daytona in July.

"We had the jack stop break and had to go to the back and then a miscommunication with the No. 78 (Regan Smith) on pit road that cost us a half of a lap under green. . . just battling back from that stuff," Earnhardt said. "Track position was what we needed at the end. We didn't have it."

Earnhardt started 32nd after a slow qualifying run Friday at the one-mile oval, but by the checkered flag he had completed some 68 green flag passes. The No. 88 was scored inside the top 15 for 245 of the 300 laps.
