Dale Earnhardt Jr. reached a round-number milestone at Richmond last weekend, with his 550th start, putting him 30th on NASCAR’s all-time list.
“Amy (Reimann, his girlfriend) thought it was a big deal and when I told her I didn’t think it was a big deal, she got mad at me. That’s the one thing I remember,” he said. “When I hear that number, I think of people that have more than me, and mine is not significant compared to Mark Martin’s (882) and Terry Labonte’s (890) and people like that. I hope that I can race more and get that number up there a little bit further.”
