Jeffrey Earnhardt joins Davey Segal (6:40) to debrief his season to date in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and top 15 run at Bristol with Sam Hunt Racing. He explains why running a partial schedule with no real momentum has been a challenge and how he and team owner Sam Hunt joined forces. Having a famous last name, Earnhardt has been unfairly labeled as a racer who's had everything given to him, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
