No. 4 Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is hanging tough, still the best driver at Hendrick Motorsports, fourth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings.
His teammate, Jimmie Johnson, is quickly rising through the standings and could join Earnhardt Jr. in the top five after Saturday night's race at Phoenix International Raceway.
Earnhardt Jr., like every Cup driver in the top five, has won a race at Phoenix. Earnhardt Jr., however, is in that exclusive club that has won twice.
He won consecutive races in 2003 and 2004, back when Phoenix only had one Cup race a year. But as well as Earnhardt Jr. has done in the past at Phoenix, he was not encouraged by his team's most recent test at the track.
"The test was horrible, but the tests aren't really a sign of how we run during the race," said Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports. "We always seem to rebound pretty well."
Earnhardt Jr. has historically done well at short tracks. Phoenix is a one-mile oval, one of the smallest tracks on the Cup schedule.
"I love short track racing, but short track racing is nerve-wracking," Earnhardt Jr. said. "There are so many factors that go into it -- you can get run over at any time. You have to constantly be watching out for stuff to happen."
