One Dale to another

Dale Earnhardt Jr. gives his friend, veteran Dale Jarrett, an eerie feeling sometimes. Jarrett said a feeling akin to déjà vu came over him at Talladega when Junior drove a Chevy that mimicked his late father's black-and-silver paint scheme.

"As I started racing with (Earnhardt Jr.), I thought how uncanny it was and how much he was just like his dad in the race car," Jarrett explained. "I thought it was kind of ironic last week, and I thought back to how I had always thought — and used to tell them — that if they would switch cars without anybody knowing, you honestly couldn't which one of them was in which car.

"Their characteristics were so much alike on the race track, so I thought it was really cool that you could have a father and son and be that much alike out there."
