2009 Predicted Points Finish: #11

Earnhardt started last season with a bang, but towards the end was limping toward the finish line. The team didn't seem to get any better after their win via fuel mileage at Michigan in June. There were several races where it looked strong enough to win throughout the year (Talladega, Richmond, Martinsville, Charlotte, Atlanta, etc.), but the 88 couldn't close the deal in the last part of races. This will be something the team will have to work on in '09.
