Success runs in the family. The business family.
It looks like Dale Earnhardt Jr., who has won twice at Phoenix International Raceway in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, taught his protégé Shane Huffman a few things about negotiating the one-mile track.
Huffman, who drives the No. 88 U. S. Navy Chevrolet for Earnhardt-owned JR Motorsports, made his boss proud by grabbing an eighth-place finish at Phoenix last year and amassed impressive stats in the process. Huffman has a pre-race Driver Rating of 107.0, which is seventh-best among all drivers, including the double-duty drivers. Also impressive is his Average Running Position at Phoenix – 7.478. That number is sixth-best in the NASCAR Busch Series at Phoenix. Not only is Huffman consistent there, he’s fast.
