with the points position he was in, Letarte made the right call to go for the win. It didn't work out, but it was a good gamble. What Dale Jr. really needed was a teammate behind him when they were running under caution. The teammate could have pushed him around and Jr. could have kept the engine off. Without a pusher, Jr. had to refire the engine periodically to maintain caution speed. The 88 team is getting some confidence. Letarte is just what Dale Jr. needed. Even without a win, at least Dale Jr. is running laps in the top 10.
