Dale Earnhardt Jr. NASCAR's Chase

ADJUSTED CHASE POINTS: 5,025

TEAM: Dale Earnhardt Inc.

HOMETOWN: Kannapolis, N.C.

AGE: 31

CAR: No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet

CREW CHIEF: Tony Eury Jr.

BEST CHAMPIONSHIP FINISH: 3rd (2003)

OUTLOOK: Earnhardt is on a comeback after finishing a career-worst 19th in the standings last year. But he's been hit or miss this year and had a pair of engine failures at inopportune times. Unless he gets really hot, he's a longshot to win the title.

SPEAKING: ``I want to win a championship bad, and being in the Chase is the first big step in doing that. I'm honoured to be in the Chase. I'm happy for my team, because they gave me such great effort all year. They deserve this. My fans deserve it. My sponsors deserve it. Everyone who stuck with us through last year deserves being a part of this Chase for the championship, so I hope they soak it up, because I know I am,'' Earnhardt said.
