Dale Earnhardt Jr. pinpoints new-model car as factor in wrecks at restrictor-plate tracks

Hendrick Motorsports' Dale Earnhardt Jr. made a media appearance today at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Hendrick Motorsports' Dale Earnhardt Jr. says that he doesn't expect any changes to be made to the cars following a pair of last-lap crashes at restrictor-plate races this season.

Earnhardt Jr. says that those crashes are simply a product of the current type of racing, which puts increasingly competitive cars in tight packs throughout the events. Roush Fenway Racing's Carl Edwards crashed and slammed into the fence at Talladega Superspeedway earlier this season and Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch slammed into the wall and then was hit by speeding cars as he slid across the track after an accident last weekend at Daytona.

Thursday during a media appearance at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, shortly before he headed to Chicagoland Speedway for the afternoon Sprint Cup practice sessions, Earnhardt Jr. was asked about the nature of the crashes.

"I think you'll continue to have the wrecks," he said. "Restrictor plates, obviously, everybody here understands that restrictor plates put us in big packs. They make the gap between the best car in the field and the worst car in the field much smaller. And now the COT has even done more of that. The [car of tomorrow] has really got everybody in a box. And so we're all basically out there competing in the same thing.

"I can't do anything or I can't be any more creative than the next guy. We basically are all going to run the same lap time. So we're going to race on top of each other, you know. We're going to race on top. When we're on top of each other, we're going to run into each other more often and you're going to see a lot more wrecks like that. I don't like wrecking. I had a pretty good car in the [Daytona] 500, I had a pretty good car in the [Coke Zero] 400 this year, I had good cars at Talladega the last couple years, but I've wrecked them, just about all of them. You know, it's frustrating, you know."

What does he think should happen? Earnhardt Jr. said he wished there was a way for a guy with a really, really good car to get away from one that was not as good. The way racing is right now, he can't really escape the other cars.

He'd like to see that change.

"If my car is driving good, I can go ahead of the guy whose car ain't driving good," he said of what he'd like to see. "I'm not stuck behind him or watching him cause a crash in front of me. So, you know, the racing is exciting. Crashes are exciting. Crashes are intriguing, whether anybody wants to admit it or not. You know, 50 lead changes and all those things are great. I don't see it changing. I don't see NASCAR changing anything. They will build the fence higher and stronger before they do anything to keep us from running into each other.

"So I think that they made the cars safer because they knew we were going to keep crashing. So I don't think they'll change it. I mean, that's just - not a lot of people - not the right people ain't complaining about the racing, and that's the fans. You know, they think the racing is good, and however they want it is however we need to give it to them."

    wacosteve needs to go to his favorite driver which is probably kyle busch. He seems to be crying like kyle does so he must be his favorite driver. Get over it wacosteve, Jr is and always will be the most favorite driver. So move on to something else if you don't like that.

    Junior, grow up. "The cars are in a tight box." That's what competition is about. "I'd like to be able to drive away from the guy who's not running so well." That's not racing - a real racer wins by OUTFIGHTING the field, not outrunning it. There's no pride to take in winning easy.

    He don't have all those fans. Smoke does! Ya'll aren't fooling anybody but yourselfs about that. But he is a driver that races at Nascars top rung on the ladder. I agree with him. I'm just a fan of Nascar. I've only raced on asphalt a very few times. Dirt tracks is the only thing I have any expereince on.Back in the day I got to run against the Wallace brothers and Mark Martin some.I was always starting close to the front of the pack for the "A" feature. They were in the back because they had more points. In about 5-7 laps they'ed pass about 20 cars. Then I'd be side-by-side for maybe a lap. After that it was Rusty,Mark and about 5or6 local boys going at it. I'd race like h$!! to stay close enough to watch. But anyway back to the article. It seems to me if you let them race and the fast cars pass the slower cars and turn it back into regular racing like at all the non-restrictor plate races. It will be better racing. Alot of fans don't remember when they ran that way. Nascar should take the advise of the drivers and us fans should say lets give it a try and see how we like it.I think my fellow Tony Stewart fans should speak up. Smoke is not a fan of restictor plates and all you Earnhart fans should speak up and lets give it a try. I always thought it was better racing. I'm kind of glad I have something to agree with Earnhart about also! :)

    Boudruxbone... Surely you jest about the fan thing. I am also a smoke fan as well. There use to be something called a, "gentlemen's agreement." That was when a car came up on you and was faster than you, the slower car would get out of the way and not hold you up. Like lap cars do. I recently watched a Dale, Sr., Dale Jr. race, and Sr. said I looked over and saw Jr. there and I didn't want to hold him up. Which means he stayed out of his way because Jr. had the faster car. Is this what you are talking about? Some driver's still move over for the faster driver and some don't. GO JR. GO!!!!!! I loved Jr.'s practice today!!

    I don't think the car has anything to do with it. They have been wrecking at Daytona and Talladega quite often before the plate and after the plate. Wrecking is an unfortunate downside to racing. Plates or no plates, packs or no packs, you are going to have wrecks. Not that NASCAR couldn't do something to string out the field at the plate tracks to reduce the frequency of 'the big one' but I wouldn't hold my breath (get rid of the plate maybe??).

    Most of this post came from his live press conference at the Brickyard this morning he was there for the Guard. So they took bits and pieces from that 29 minute stream. So not all of what he said is here.He did say he likes double file restarts and about running up front in clean air all drivers comment on that. Must you rip apart every thing the man says.And I agree I think he is trying to say give the throttle back on these tracks however the speed would be just crazy without the restrictor plate

I mean, do you remember when an article about what color socks Junior wears on Tuesdays would produce around 300 comments???? Where did all those people go??

    We would all like to see a over night fix. It's been a longtime since us true Jr fans have seen a "real" win from Jr. Last weeks wreck was a heart breaker at Daytona. I think a lot of us felt a top five or possibly a win. The true positive with the crew chief change is communication. I feel multiple wins in the very near future. It may not be soon enough to get in the chase, but I think it will make it very interesting for next year.
