Dale Earnhardt Jr. finds lighter side of tough Kansas outing

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Dale Earnhardt Jr. didn’t have a very good day Sunday during the Camping World RV 400 at Kansas Speedway, but at least he was able to joke about it.
 
Earnhardt Jr. finished 13th at Kansas, behind nine other of NASCAR's Chase For The Sprint Cup drivers. He did move up one spot to eighth in the Chase standings, though he fell to 190 points behind leader and Kansas-winner Jimmie Johnson.
 
But Earnhardt Jr. and his No. 88 Hendrick Motorsports team were able to find a silver lining.
 
"I think an average driver would have finished about 35th,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “I told my guys that. I don't know, we had fun regardless. The car wasn't that good. We just made the best of it.”
 
What was the problem? Earnhardt Jr. said the car simply wasn’t handling well throughout the weekend, and the team couldn’t make the proper adjustments during the race.
 
"We aren't dialing our car in,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “We were real bad in the second practice. The track gets slick, we ain't working the car in to get it comfortable. That was the best I could do.
 
"We made light of it, though. I told them they were lucky to have me."
 
Earnhardt Jr. has been in some hot water recently for his terse radio communications with his crew, especially crew chief and cousin Tony Eury Jr. Sunday at Kansas, Earnhardt Jr. said he tried to work on being more professional with his team.
 
"I toned it down a lot today,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “I've been trying to be better on the radio and be more productive. We kind of gained on it in the center of the race and we were kind of getting better. It just went away.

“It got so loose at the end, I didn't know what to tell them."
 
Earnhardt Jr. has a lot of ground to make up in order to contend for his first championship on NASCAR’s highest level. But he doesn’t believe this year’s title race is a three-way battle between Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle – despite those three being within 30 points of each other and at least 91 points ahead of the rest of the Chase field.
 
Is it a three-man race?
 
"I hope not, hell,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “Unless you are counting me in."

    That was just an awesome article. I was going on how Dale looked when they showed him with the towel over his head. I am so glad to know that he is happy and still smilin'!! And being professional, he is a true Southern Gentleman!! No, really, I have noticed last week and today, he handled the crazy car, but didn't get crazy about it over the radio! See, I knew Rick was the Best thing that has happened to Dale! They are two wonderful men and I love them!!

    Shari. How can Kyle have 3 bad cars. It happens Jr made the best out of something that stinks. He is true class. Life goes on things happen if he dont get them this year watch out next year.If you pay attention he told all what happened. It also happened to other guys as well. The track was real hot and slick. The changes they made the car got better but the laos ran out. Go get em in dega Jr see you in the winners circle on sun.

How 'bout telling the crew chief whats wrong with the car other than "its loose", or "its pushing like a dump truck". How humble of him to tell his team how lucky they are to have him. Please.

There is actually a website devoted to anti-Dale Jr, and I think it is www.over88ated.com, or something like that.Maybe you should check it out. Consider it your reality check of the week.

    Maybe Jr. should pay more attention to his fitness. He runs good at the beginning but seems to "poop" out towards the end of the race. He looked worn out after the Kansas race and wouldn't be interviewed. All the other drivers seemed okay, even Jeff Gordon who was ill.

Either he wants to win or not. Somethings got to change or JR is going to lose allot of respect from everyone. I now question his commitment to winning. Please do something!

    Amazing, the Jr. thread always is the longest. I think some forget their opinion is just that - opinion, not rooted in reality. If you don't like Jr. fine, move on. To say he is overrated is too subjective. Bring on some facts to back up the statement. And don't mix a drivers popularity with his 'rating'. Jr. is popular for a variety of reasons, and if some aren't on that bandwagon, fine, get on another driver's - there are 40+ more out there to root on. Those who question his fitness, ability to communicate, etc. , get over it. I've heard him give quite specific info back to Eury, pointing out which corner of the car is at fault, spring rates, pressures, etc. He knows the car better than most. Sometimes he gets hot and complains but I've been around racing over 30 years and ALL drivers complain when the car sucks. Most of you probably complain when the Coke machine is empty louder than Jr. does about his ill handling car. I am a Harvick fan 1st but I track Jr. a lot and he might not be at the JJ or JG level yet but a couple years with Hendrick and he will be.

    Junior, I say continue telling that sub par crewchief you have anything you want to---he deserves it and more. And, of course, some idiot had to comment on your physical condition and everyone had to jump in and be Dr. know-it- all. I guess wrestling a car that won't handle has a lot to do with how you feel when you finish a race. I think that Chazzo is Worm Dirt in disguise---only he could come up with such a stupid name and make such asinine remarks.I hate to think what cult would embrace you, Chazzo!!!

    Robert Airheart, Junior shunned ESPN. I have HotPass, and saw he spoke to reporters a few mins after getting out of the car. He made a point of speaking to Phil Parsons, but took Parsons back to his hauler before he gave the interview. Just as they approached the hauler, a little boy, maybe 7 years old was there waiting for Junior to get an autograph. Junior walked back to him, signed his shirt and spoke to him a moment before he spoke to Phil Parsons on HotPass. I get the feeling he's avoiding the two female ESPN reporters because he is fed up with their sophomoric questions.

    Junior shouldn't have to mind his language and walk on eggshells with Tony Jr. The radio is for the crew, not for journalists or fans. It's a privilege we get to listen to them talking, and if we don't like what they say, we can always turn it off. Rick Hendrick did have a good point when he said he wanted Junior to quantify his comments about the car's handling, and he did a lot of that during the race in Kansas. I wish NASCAR would stop censoring the channel to please a few religious zealots and prudes. (They don't just bleep out the curses, they also include some trailing words, which makes it difficult to figure out what he's talking about.) He's not talking to them, and if they think so, they're delusional. Too many people put their noses in other people's business.

    I was at the Kansas race and listened to the 88 teams radio for most of it. Junior was fairly descriptive in his comments about the cars handling. At the beginning of the race he said he was loose in, good though the middle and loose off. He went into detail in disecting how the car was behaving at certain points within the corner. For whatever reason, Tony Jr. was unable to make significant enough changes to correct the issues they had.
    I've been to about 8 cup races and would have to say this was the most descriptive I've ever heard Junior be in terms of the cars handling and what he thought should be done to correct it.

    Those of you that are throwing the "over88ted" out there. Please tell me just how do you pronounce that? Is it overeightsted, as in 2 8s? Or is it overeightyeighted. Just does not make sense to me. Really messed them up when he gave up the '8', huh?
