With his crew chief suspended and contract negotiations for next season still ongoing, Dale Earnhardt Jr. lost his winning streak to Ryan Newman on Friday at the Dover International Speedway. It was the second pole for Newman, and 40th overall, with a lap at 152.925 mph. Earnhardt was second at 152.387. "Second was close and we can have a sense of pride in that accomplishment," Earnhardt said. It was his first time to lose pole position in 164 starts, and came barely a month after his falling out with the Dale Earnhardt Inc., a team his legendary father has built. Three to four teams have expressed their intentions to acquire Junior's services.
