INDIANAPOLIS - Hendrick Motorsports driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. says he is feeling better after battling a stomach virus for the past couple of days and will not need a relief driver in Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Although he initially said that Brad Keselowski would take some laps in preparation to be on standby for Sunday's race, the young driver did not make it to Indianapolis in time for practice.

Keselowski, who drives for Earnhardt Jr. in the Nationwide Series, remained at nearby O'Reilly Raceway Park for Nationwide qualifying.

Earnhardt Jr. did practice his car Friday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but said that he felt "miserable" doing so. He has taken intravenous fluids to help him overcome any dehydration issues, though, and seems confident he can run the full Allstate 400 Sunday.

Earnhardt Jr. says he fell ill Thursday and battled the stomach virus and a fever until yesterday morning.

"I came here and got a couple of IVs early in the afternoon," he said. "It was a 24-hour bug. I broke my fever about 8 o'clock yesterday morning, fever came back last night but I broke it again … Probably get some more fluids this afternoon after practice, but I feel tons better.

"That stomach virus was the worst thing I've ever experienced in my life. … I'm not a very big fan of stomach viruses now. I feel better and [am] not really worried about - I feel fine and I feel like I've got enough energy and everything, the only thing I'm worried about is dehydrating."

Keselowski planned to take a few laps to be eligible as a relief driver. Since he was unable to do so, NASCAR officials would have to rule on whether or not he could drive the car, if needed, Sunday. A NASCAR official said that, in most instances, it would not be permissible for Keselowski to take over the driving duties. He is driving a limited Cup schedule with Hendrick and Phoenix Racing this season and has already won his first Cup race, at Talladega Superspeedway.

Earnhardt Jr., though, doesn't think he'll be needed.

"I doubt we'll do that," he said. "I just want to [give him practice laps], basically, just to be safe."

    I think Junior had food poisoning. All this traveling, you never know what you are going to eat.You ever notice how everytime someone gets sick they call it a 24 hour virus. But, whatever, I hope he is well enough to drive. It would be such a shame to waste such a good qualifying run.I sure was glad to see that Vickers got bumped from starting right behind him. That spelled disaster to me from the get go. Don't know why Vickers has it in for Jr., but it is so obvious. Well, everyone enjoy the race tomorrow. I'll be hanging my flag off the deck and watching every minute.

I loved it during the intro's when he tipped his hat to the crowd! He has so much class,he was taking the blame before he got the car down pit road and into the garage! I know...he might have known he did it(maybe not) but some driver's wait until they are trapped into saying it was their fault! They won't admit it on the air,before the car's been checked out, if they can get away with it! Wait until next week,we'll get- em! I want all you nay sayer's to be back on here when he win's,I have plenty of Crow's on my land,so dinner(your's) will be served promptly after the race!

    BUD724 I think you have Junior confused with Kyle Busch a few weeks ago when he stayed on the rev-limiter leaving the pits trying to blow HIS engine when he wasn't running up front. The anouncers even pointed it out! At least JR "mans up" if he makes a mistake. By the way....has anyone put out an APB for Kyle Busch? Seems someone has put a clone in for him at the last few races that wrecks and then actually talks to the media. Please help us find the REAL Kyle Busch.....

    Junior did say he may have slipped the clutch, but he also said it probably wasn't that as the engine did not want to rev. doesn't matter he ran in the top seven most of the day and was 9th or so when it blew. He hasn't had a lot of luck in the last 5 or 6 races. being taken out in several of them by other people when running good. Patience is needed to rebuild a team. Look what RCR is going thru right now. Had to feel bad for Montoya. don't think he will sleep much tonight. This was a really boring race with no real action, only the usual follow the leader. After last year was actually hoping for some side by side racing.

    But, hey you got your wish for the other Hendrick drivers. Maybe you should switch to one of them cause they know how to drive the same equipment Jr does only better.

As for blowing the engine, according to Rick last night, they don't know yet what caused it. The only reason they think Jr may have done something wrong, is because he said he may have. So much for not taking blame.

    # 56 HATEDA88 It's spelled Duh! First of all,let me set you straight on a few thing's! On my TV's he ran in the top 10! Maybe you have something wrong with your rabbit ear's! The 33 lap's you speak of was after he sucked a valve! It's kind of hard to run a engine like that! JR. has more class than you give him credit for! He was already taking the blame going down pit road before "ANYONE" knew what was wrong! Alot of driver's have to be confronted by the new's media,"AFTER THE RACE" before they will admit that it was their fault! You need to understand something! This is a new car and he will be there next week running up front! He proved that he is coming out of a slump(which all driver's have)and it bother's you people that don't qualify to be in JR. NATION! When he start's winning again (and he will) people like you will come up with some other excuse as to why he won! When you a Winner like he is,not only in Nascar,but as a Person,there is alway's someone that does'nt have the fact's,or has a faulty TV. that has something negative to say! This is for all of the nay sayer's,IT'S BEST TO BE SILENT,AND THOUGHT A FOOL,THAN TO SPEAK,AND REMOVE ALL DOUBT! ABE LINCOLN! Have a nice day!

But Dale, Jr.'s improvement is getting better all the time! I do have Hendrick Drivers, but Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is #uno!! (one) If you hate Jr. bad enough to use that handle, what do you care what he does? Is Jr. in your head?? I thought so!!! He is in my head too, and I love it. Dale, Jr. is the best! And to ELLIE1120... I had already figured you out to be a whiner, but thanks for the heads up. :-)

Every week this blog tells everyone that. Maybe he will win Pocono, and if he does who can you compare him with. Dale Sr. Not a chance. Name only. Hendricks is lucky he has three other drivers. Jr. Nation is secretly wishing LE could race like K.B. Read the blogs. K.B. is mentioned most often. Obsessed with K.B. are we? Maybe it will rain.

    These bashers need to make up their minds.If Jr is slow,they say,he doesn't get up on the wheel and if the engine blows, he's driving too hard. Why don't you watch your own driver,or was he already out of the race? Jr fans accept that he won't make the chase but there are other really good drivers that won't either. We Jr fans love him anyway and that must be what makes you all mad,when it's really none of your business.You all worry about your drivers and we will take good care of Dale Jr.

    ELLIE1120 The reason bush is mention more is mostley because of the cry baby way's,the fit's,not talking to anyone when he loose's,smart remark's like, we came here to finish second and we did! JG. m& m's and some other sponser's sat him down and read him the riot act,that's why he is being good for now! Just wait,he won't be able to hold it in forever,he's going to blow! He has no class,no substance,and it will alway's show,just wait awhile! Like JR. his class alway's show's,because it's been there from day one! I stopped eating M&M'S just because of "what's his name!" They started to taste sour!

    I don't understand why it bothers people so much that we stand behind our driver, good times and bad. I would hope they did the same for their favorite. If they only support him when he's winning, they aren't true fans. I would think you people would realize by now, you are not going to change our minds. We love Jr and that's not going to change.

    Thank you Carol-88. There are a lot of us who have been right here at Scene and have not stopped pulling for Jr., encouraging each other, and will defend our driver in a heartbeat. I can't say that I have saw that with other drivers. Most only come out of the woodwork when their drivers are doing good. Or the ones to bash Jr. fans! I can deal with them though. It is so funny to me that Jr. isn't even winning and these people can't get him out of their heads! LOL..As long as they are talking about him, they know he is still a threat! WOOOOO High Five's Carol-88!!

    Gwen, I saw your post on the other article and you are right. When he wins we won't be able to get on here. They will be posting so much. Makes you wonder. As for making excuses, I didn't see anyone making excuses for Jr and he didn't make any for himself. IPOP, that's so funny and true.

    #57 bthompson133, AGAIN.....for the hard to understand facts people.... Kyle was called childish when he INTENTIONALLY tried to blow his engine because HE WAS BEING CHILDISH....period. It's a real shame JR didn't blow earlier because he could have driven Kyles car AGAIN to finish the race for him, like JR did before.....
