Dale Earnhardt Jr. is banking on his fans to help him into the 2011 Sprint All-Star race.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. needs your fan support! For the first time in ten years he is not guaranteed a spot in the Sprint All-Star Race. Junior won the All-Star race in 2000. His win then promised him a spot in the Sprint All-Star Race for the last ten years.

Without being grandfathered in from an All-Star win, Earnhardt still has three chances: 1) win the 40-lap Sprint Showdown (run in two 20-lap segments); 2) finish second in the Showdown, or 3) win the fan vote.

 
What was Dale Jr.’s favorite part of winning in 2000? Getting to celebrate with his father afterwards. Watch the video below and to see how Junior became the only rookie to win the Sprint All-Star race.

There are several auto extended warranty types available for both new and used autos. The main three include Powertrain, Bumper-to-Bumper (or Exclusionary Coverage) and Named Component. Here we’ve listed the different types of car warranties to help you decide what’s best for you.

Powertrain

• A Powertrain car warranty covers the Drivetrain only (mainly the internally lubricated parts of the engine and transmission).  This type of warranty covers primarly the major drivetrain systems and is typically most relevant for higher mileage vehicles or drivers that have high annual mileage requirements.

Bumper-to-Bumper

• Bumper-to-Bumper warranties (more accurately termed as Exclusionary service contracts) cover all mechanical systems of the vehicle , apart from those listed on an exclusive list of non-covered items.  This is typically the easiest form of extended warranty to understand and offers excellent coverage in most cases.

Named Component

• The Named Component extended warranty covers a specified list of named components.  Most major mechanical parts and systems are covered.  Always read all the details of each warranty to determine which is best for your needs.

Are You Eligible?

Whether your auto is new or used, you are eligible for an auto extended warranty.  The main difference is the cost and eligibility. Comprehensive used car extended warranties are usually a bit pricier the older the vehicle gets in age since the auto is at a higher risk of mechanical failure.  The older the used car is, the less availability there is for comprehensive coverage.  You can also purchase an extended car warranty to supplement your original manufacturer’s warranty on a new car.  This is only beneficial if the two warranties cover different components or different mileage or time periods.  Used car extended warranties often come with additional benefits such as roadside assistance, rental, and towing benefits.

We hope that clears up any confusion you may have had regarding extended warranties. Check back continually for more helpful tips!
