Scott Eggleston jumped into a double strength pressure cooker in 2001 when he assumed the crew chief's role at Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Of course, the expectation at DEI is to win, and being paired with driver Michael Waltrip, who is 0-462 in his 16-year Winston Cup career, puts pressure on both Eggleston and the Owensboro, Ky., driver. Eggleston warmed up for his hot-seat role at DEI working as a crew chief at Team SABCO, with driver Sterling Marlin.
