Its been what, about 67 races since Dale Earnhardt Jr won his last pole position?
He's just like his Dad.
Dale Earnhardt wasn't the best pole winner either, he just concentrated on set-up more than anything.
As long as he qualified in the top 20 he was fine, and he had the past Champion's Provisional to make sure he was in the show each week as they didn't have the Top 35 Rule back when Dale Sr was driving. And he had to use that past Champion's Provisional a time or two too.

Can't agree there:
He’s just like his Dad.
To try and fail may be unacceptable, but failing to try, is accepting failure.
You're looking at the big picture
I’m talking about poles, not anything else. If you look at the stats Dale Sr wasn’t much of a pole winner either.
I'll take your word on the pole stats
Like his father, Jr. has a huge fan base. Unlike his dad, he doesn’t seem to have many haters. It seemed like people either loved, or hated Dale Sr.
Probably off topic, doesn’t take much for me to reminisce about Dale Sr.
To try and fail may be unacceptable, but failing to try, is accepting failure.
There seemed like a qualifying window.
The track was absolutely perfect just after the sun went down when the track was at it’s fastest.. Jr laid down the craziest lap and the perfect time.. What is the over under on laps before he’s P10 or worse? I want to see him do well, I really do.. (I have a very strange bet tied to Jr’s performance.)
Education is what you get from reading the directions. Experience is what you get from not reading them.
