Once Earnhardt and Childress hit their stride, they became an unstoppable force on the Cup circuit, similar to the Jimmie Johnson /Rick Hendrick duo we see today. Here, Earnhardt collects the Cup series title with two races left to go in the season, clinching early to finish off a nine-year run from 1986-94 that included 48 victories, well over 16,000 laps led and six of his seven career championships, tying him with the King, Richard Petty for most all time.
