JOLIET, Ill. - Dale Earnhardt Jr., responding to comments made by his former crew chief, Tony Eury Jr., earlier Thursday, refused to blame the media for his slow start this season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. The sport’s most popular driver agreed he took some heat in the media, but said that’s to be expected given his status.

“Well, I got a lot of flack. Any time I messed up on pit road, everybody beats that drum and beats that drum,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “Everybody else is missing stalls and messing up. …That’s just the way it is, that’s part of being the most popular driver in the sport.”

Eury, who was replaced by Lance McGrew as Earnhardt Jr.’s interim crew chief in late May, said the media’s negative coverage of the driver after a couple of bad races early in the year created unrealistic pressure.

“My personal opinion … is that you guys put so much pressure on him after Daytona that Dale Jr. just basically had had enough,” Eury said. “We went to Daytona and had a shot at winning that race, had some problems on pit road … [then] we went to California and blew up so there’s two negative weeks.

“You guys were all over him and it just brought him down. I don’t think we had a strong enough finish to bring him back up, so every week the hole gets deeper and deeper and deeper. …”

Earnhardt Jr. said that regardless of the media coverage, the team wasn’t getting the job done.

“I don’t think anything that happens outside the car affects performance,” he said. “So how good we ran is really how good we were, as a team. Not very good.

“Look at Kyle [Busch]. He has a lot of bad things written about him, but he performs.”

    I agree with dale jr and tony jr. Everytime dale missed his stall or slid through his stall the media couldnt shut up about it but when someone like jimmie or jeff slides through theirs its "thats okay that happens". Dale Jr has ran much better since being with Lance, and he will be winning races by years end and he will be championship contender next year. Everyone expects him to be like his dad and drive like his dad, but he is not, he is who he is and im his fan because of that.

    When I read that article about Tony, Jr., I just had to wonder if Dale, Jr. knew he (Tony, Jr.) was forming his own opinion of what he thought was wrong with Dale, Jr. I am glad Dale, Jr. got that straight. I always have liked Eury, Jr. but I just have to wonder if he is still just a little bitter about Hendrick letting him go as crew chief. He needs to just let Dale speak for himself and not assume what he thought was wrong! Blaming the media while talking to the media. Go figure!! Dale Jr. needs and wants his fans. I will be there all the way! GO Dale, Jr. You have a fast car, Put it up front and keep it there!

    What Jr said about K.B is true,Kyle wants attention,good or bad.The media uses Jr to get attention also and we have all seen stories about Jr and for no reason except the writer wanted attention and they use Jr's picture on everything. Because we love him,the media goes after him.They have tried to push KB on us,but anyone in their right mind wants none of that.I can't stand Jimmy Spencer,DW or the Bagman for they are the worst for this.The only thing that Dale Jr needs to change,in my opinion,is to drive a little faster and don't take anything from the other drivers,if they hit him,I hope he hits back twice as hard.

    Tony Jr. commented Dale had had enough.
    What does Dale plan to do? Does he plan to take a break and sit on his porch in Key West and drink beers with his buddies?
    If no, he must endure what is said; whether negative or positive. He will have to channel for the common good for himself.
    He shares a name with a famous racer; of course, he is sought.

I hope he is okay now and I hope he lets Dale, Jr. speak for himself from now on. I wish he and Brad the best in the cup race saturday night.

    Dale JR. should have had another crew chief from the get-go when he became a Cup driver. I have no doubt Eury JR. has had a lot to do in Jr.'s lack of success at DEI and now at Hendrick.
    However, it's not completely his fault. Jr. might be the most popular driver in NASCAR, but he's definately not the best driver. An average driver at best, and now with his experience and equipment, you'll see simply more "average" results from Jr.
    Oh he'll win a race here and there, but he'll never be considered one of NASCAR's ultimate drivers, pure and simple.
    Those are the facts, but we'll continue to be burdened with a multitude of reasons / excuses / bull why Dale Jr. can't win races consistently, and why he'll never be a NASCAR champion or points leader.
    Sad, but true. Doesn't make Dale Jr. a bad guy, it's just that his expectations (personal and in the media) exceed his talent in stockcar racing.

    I don't get it. Yes pressure has been put on JR.But he is supposed to be a professional. After all he isn't a rookie anymore. Fan's hate Kyle Bush but he preforms. They called Gordon gay and his record speaks for itself. Then there is Mr. bad boy himself Tony Stewart. I can go on an on but I won't. All I can say is you either want to drive or you don't and only JR can put him and his fan out of there misery by being honest with himself and answering that question.

    On one hand I'm sorry that Rick had to split Dale Jr. and Tony Jr. up. On the other hand, I'm glad he did so before their relationship suffered irreversible damage.

    My respect and admiration continues to grow for Dale Jr. I have never heard or read anywhere that he blames anyone but himself for his poor performance and always acknowledges that because of who he is there is always going to be pressure on him to perform well.

    I didn't because a fan because of what people said about him or how well he drives a race car. I became a member of Jr. Nation because I was impressed by the person he is, an open, honest, caring individual who is trying to be successful doing what he loves to do, race cars. As a fan, I do not have the right to determine what his success is going to be, only he can do that. But, as a fan, I do have the privilege to support him in a way that is beneficial for him not only during the good times but also through the bad.

    I keep seeing posts like #9 that say that Junior makes excuses. Show me one place where Junior makes excuses for himself. If you can show me that, then I'll consider you right. Junior has never made excuses for himself. Junior has a lot of talent. And for it to be said that he will never be considered one of the top drivers in NASCAR is wrong. He already IS considered one of the top drivers in NASCAR. 18 wins. Go look it up and compare him to most of the other drivers out there. That's more than a lot of other drivers have won. About the bashing thing, normally it's Kyle Busch fans, (well they call themselves fans) that bash Junior. MOST and I repeat MOST, but not all, Kyle Busch fans actually aren't fans. Here is the definition of a fan straight from the dictionary: "A fan, aficionado, or supporter is someone who has an intense, occasionally overwhelming liking and enthusiasm for a sporting club, person (usually a celebrity), group of persons, company, product, activity, work of art, idea, or trend." NOT "Someone who bashes somebody elses driver" Maybe KB fans should focus more of their energy on cheering for their driver rather than bashing Junior.

    I for one agree with most of you. When ever I have seen the media interview Dale Jr, he has always admitted that most of his problems is of his own doing. I never hear him blame anyone else for the problems. He is a wonderful man and a very well like one. I, myself have all the faith in Jr, and I know in my heart that he will be winning some races soon. That is if Cry Baby KB doesn't wreck him like he did last year at Richmond. I am with you all the way Dale Jr, you go son and win them races with your new 88 team.

    #13 I agree with you. My comments on this page earlier were just meaning that Dale, Jr. had to explain to the media that he did not blame them for his bad start this year, because Tony. Jr. told the media they were to blame in another article. Dale, Jr. may not be performing great right now, however he has some good stats in his career. Dale, Jr. is up there with some of the top drivers as far as his record goes. Michael Waltrip only won four wins in 20 something years. There are other drivers with better stat's than Jr. that's driving right now, but not all that many. Many driver's have never won a Daytona 500 or an All Star's Win. He has two Nationwide Title's under his belt. Don't think for a minute Dale, Jr. won't be winning some races. And if he didn't want to race, he wouldn't be showing up at the track the way he does every week. Dale's performance if you watch him throughout the race have gotten better. Of course it is hard to finish a race when you get caught up in wrecks every week. That's going to happen though. Winners never quit and quitters never win...and Dale, JR. is not a quitter.. and neither am I. I also would like to see where Dale, Jr. makes excuses! This Dale, Jr. fan will stand with him as long as he races. True fan's never leave their driver!!! Go Dale and the entire #88 team!!!!!! God SPeed!

    #20, there's a difference.

So there's a difference.

    I guess my post went into cyberspace again....One thing that gets me is people assume that anyone that bash Jr. are only KB fans. Anyone who bash KB are assumed to be Jr. fans. That is so far from the truth. Anyone can post on any article they want to, but people shouldn't assume that all fans or either Jr. fans or KB fans. I don't hate any driver, but I will give my opinion. I haven't on KB latest article because I have already spoke my opinion about it before so why go there again. Especially with my handle. It wouldn't matter if I said something good or bad, all anyone see's is that 388 behind my name and labels me as a basher. Where people are wrong is where they think if it is an article about a certain driver only fans of that driver should comment. I think the comment sections are to get opinions from both sides or ten sides or whatever. I feel better now.:-) Oh one more thing.... If I feel the urge to comment on that particular article.... I will....lol

    #21, so what you're saying is that it's fine for Jr Nation to call Kyle nasty names, but Kyle fans can't state their opinion that Kyle is a better driver? That's hypocritical.
    #24, oh yes I am going to heaven, because of Who I know (and Who knows me).
    And by the way y'all, I like Jr AND I like Kyle (among other drivers).

    #19 I agree with most of your comment Dales record does speak for itself. Its not up there at the top but its a good record. And I don't thin for one minute that Dale doesn't want to drive he loves it. Pressure sure he has it and has said many times it comes with the job. He loves his fans and apprecites them. He always says my fans are good people and can take care of themselves. KB is another story just take a lot at his media clip on Nascar.com just about says it all as to how he feels about last week,any week,and any driver. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion. That is what posting is for. But sometimes it goes to extremes. I've told myself I will not do that anymore. So heres to a good week for Dale and all the Henderick org. I just believe after the chase starts we are going to see alot of good things happen to that #88 team and driver.We shall see.

    #32 You dream on Tampa Bay isn't winning anything this year either. Jr will win before they do.Most people that are Jr.Nation knows Tony Jr is a good crew chief.Tony and Jr.are family as Tony said no racing deal will ever come between them. They are family.If he wins a champiomship or not gee he has two already. I think KB might get one of them this year for his tally. He doesn't have one either.Nation likes Jr. for the person and driver he is something that some drivers just don't have. Well most to just a certain one he drives the 18 he'll never have that.

    Racing is not fun for Dale, anymore. He thrives on fun. He says it as he interviews. He said, it was fun, after the wreck in Nationwide race Friday night.
    That's what he said.
    Obviously, fun is the motivating factor.

    This is worse that a soap opera! Whenever you see the name "Jr." on any article, there are ten times more comments than on any others. I have been a JG # 24 fan since the early 90's and we have been through all of this before. My advice is to just support your driver, don't bash other drivers, and ENJOY the sport, unless you are a paid analyst! Also, don't take cricism of your driver personally - it's just a sport!

Kyle Busch is a lot more successful @ JGR then he would have been @ HMS as their reaserch and development team which Junior is doing NOW for Jeff, Jimmy, Mark, Tony and Ryan.

    to tampabbay99, whats the matter - u must be a kyle fan you cant even spell tampa bay the right way, junior has 2 championships already - it may not be a cup, but at least its a championship. i'd hate to be a kyle busch fan and hang my head when he goes stomping to garage like the crybaby he is, and talks hasty to reporters, that just shows he has no class or respect for others. junior is way more mature than kyle ever will be and that is why he is more popular, if he causes an accident at least he has balls to say he did and apologize to those involved- unlike kyle. junior has run better since splitting from tony jr, he ran great today a 15 place is better than where kyle finished.

    I am curious why this season is a "slow start" when he hasn't done squat in the past 4 or 5 seasons now. Yes, he got a few wins last year, but outside of the win at Michigan, there was not much worth talking about. His last few seasons at DEI were more of the same lousy results. It's also nice to know he won't blame the media, since they don't build, set up, or have anything to do with the cars he drives.

    If Dale Jr.could possibly spend some time during the off season to possibly work with someone that could help him understand the COT.and how it works differently from the latter Sprint Cup Cars,and to better his ability to communicate that info to crew chief,then he will become a more proficient driver.I really believe he came up the ranks being too dependant on his father for keeping cars working,and after the tragic loss of his dad,he never was able to get that aspect of racing down.He is a great driver,but in today's racing it takes even more than driving talent alone.I wish him the very best.

    #67, Sr had nothing to do with the Nationwide team. He never helped Dale except to tell him to get his foot off the brake. he was only in Cup one year before Sr died. he has always been a good driver. He is not a great driver and he shouldn't be put in the category of great drivers. 18 wins and no Championships does not make you a great driver.
