Dale Jr.'s Team On Top In NASCAR Nationwide
DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) - Dale Earnhardt Jr. has more than the Sprint Cup series on his mind these days - like trying to win a Nationwide title as an owner of JR Motorsports with drivers Chase Elliott and Regan Smith.
Elliott passed Kevin Harvick late in the race to win the Nationwide event at Texas Motor Speedway last week. It left the 18-year-old Elliott and Smith 1-2 in the drivers' point standings.
Awesome job @chaseelliott on your 1st @NASCAR_NNS win with @JRMotorsports and @NAPAKnowHow. Awesome run by all our cars. Just gettin started

Earnhardt owns the team along with sister Kelley Earnhardt Miller and Rick Hendrick, who Dale Jr. drives for in Sprint Cup.
Earnhardt says the team has steadily grown the past few seasons and believes they've learned how to compete strongly each week. The next race comes Friday night at Darlington Raceway.
