Dale Earnhardt Jr. started off the 2014 Sprint Cup season with three top 2 finishes in the first four races.  Dale Earnhardt Jr. definitely has a shot for the 2014 Sprint Cup championship if he continues this trend.  It's hard to tell where someone will win and where they won't but I would definitely keep an eye on Jr. for the Coke Zero 400, (Daytona International Speedway) Aaron's 499, and the Geico 500. (Both at Talladega Superspeedway)  It is true that Steve Letarte is leaving Hendrick Motorsports and is moving to NBC.  He will be a NASCAR commentator for NBC in 2015.
