Dale Earnhardt Jr. may now vie for the top spot in terms of drivers completely unsatisfied with a top-five finish, but his fourth-place result n Saturday night's Coke Zero 400 marks the fourth straight race that his No. 88 has been 11th or better in the Sprint Cup Series.

It's just the second time Earnhardt Jr. has strung together four consecutive races of 11th or better in his time at Hendrick Motorsports. The first came early in his first season with the team, when Earnhardt Jr. finished second, third, fifth and sixth respectively starting with the third race of the 2008 season.

His current streak started with a seventh-place run at Michigan, after which his No. 88 Chevrolet showed up 16th in the point standings, 464 points behind the leader. After watching points leader Kevin Harvick win at Daytona, Earnhardt Jr. is 507 points from first, but has moved up considerably in the standings to 11th.
