INDIANAPOLIS – Dale Earnhardt Jr. was happy his Hendrick Motorsports team could make his car better during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Allstate 400 on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but he was obviously disappointed with the race's outcome.

Earnhardt Jr. was in the garage after 127 laps after a valve-train issue wiped out his engine and relegated him to 36th. He felt as if he was the one to blame for the problem.

“I’ve had no engine problems all year,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “Hendrick engines, we don’t ever have problems with them. So I’m assuming it was driver related or driver error somewhere around the race track.

“It broke the valve train leaving the pit stall and probably broke a couple of tips off the valve springs that went into the bottom and eventually tore the bottom of the motor out. I hate it for the engine guys because they build some great motors. It’s frustrating for my team, but we seem to be getting better and seem to be running better.”

Earnhardt Jr., who battled a stomach virus Thursday and into Friday morning, said he felt fine during the race Sunday.

“I feel fine, now,” he said. “I was really, really feeling good this morning. I’m over it 100 percent.”

The car brought to Indianapolis was a new car and will also be used at Pocono Raceway next weekend, Earnhardt Jr. said. He would have been more frustrated if he didn’t run well, but he qualified third and was running in the top 10 when the engine blew.

“That last run, we were really, really loose and the last 10 laps of the run, I think we were one of the best cars on the track,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “I drove back to Jeff [Gordon] and the 9 car [of Kasey Kahne] and I was feeling pretty confident about it then. We were starting a run too snug or starting it too loose.

“Me and [crew chief] Lance [McGrew] are getting better on communicating and understanding each other. We’re running better. We’ve either had poor luck and made some mistakes. We just have to keep our heads up. We’re going to Pocono with this same car and hopefully we get it running just as good there if not better.”

    The finish was disappointing, but Jr and the Amp crew had a good day.. They were running good and they were communicating and making the necessary adjustments. If they can make improvements each week, then the season won't be a total loss. Go Dale Jr !!!!!!

    that was a better run jr, but it is going to take several more runs like that, to prove to rick h and (jeff g) that you belong in a hendrick car, and you can keep a ride with them. there has already been talk about releasing him early, out of his 5 yr contract. his amp energy sponsor has been looking at brad k , pretty hard. rumor is , brad k may be in the 88 car in 2011. and jr may be looking for a ride. jr just , by luck , got this ride at hendricks!

    Each week now is a test, don't worry so much about where you place. Get the communication right and test your butts off in the coming races. This years a wash anyway, use the rest of the season to get it right and then blow em all outta the water next season, and put all the naysayers in their place. 88 FOREVER

Junior's not going anywhere. Plus, do you know how much money Rick would owe him if he released him from his contract that early. You're so full of crap.

    Hey Matthewallenhughes don't let folks like Hateda88 and E_rock43 get you man. They are negative and just want to stir up trouble. Jr. ran a good race in the top 10 all day long, and those of us that watched the entire race know it. As far R. Hendrick releasing him from his contract early, that isn't likely to happen. That's gossip promoted by people who think they have some sort of inside information. I doubt anyone knows the deal between Mr. H and Jr. except the two of them and Kelly. Let the trash talkers go. They aren't worth reading their comments. I have started skipping over them if they even so much as start downing JR. or his fans.

    Carol-88, I just left you a comment on the other Jr. article. I was saying how many of us Jr. fans have kept pulling for Jr., encouraging each other, and will defend our driver in a skinny minute!!! For some reason, and this really blows my mind, is how many poster's cannot get Dale, Jr. out of their head and he is not even winning! Imagine what it's going to be like when, (I said when, not if)he starts winning again! I was so happy just to see him running in the top ten all day, until he had problems with his engine. I think you have to be a Jr. fan to understand that. GO Jr. GO!!!!!

    Not a junior fan, but yes he was pretty much in the top ten all day, (along with the other HMS cars) he had a pretty good car that Lance built. He had one of his better days just not a finish to show for it. But Junior is right, there aren't many HMS engine problems they are a rarity. If this gives to any indication as to what to come with Lance building the cars, I think you junior fans will get to see your driver back up in the front of the pack.

    Was nice watching him consistantly have top 5 times/speeds on the track even when he was complaining about the car being too loose. Lance informed him of his times and he was actually shocked how fast he was doing. If this is any indication of what Lance can do when his team actually builds the car, then I say halleluja. Not the finish we wanted, but the race that he was running was a step in the right direction.

    Jr is popular not because of his name but because who he is as a person. He is real, he owns up to mistakes even if not made by him. He doesn't pass the blame. The wins will come again just something isn't working as well with the new car, when they find what the issue is the success will come. He didn't all of a sudden forget how to drive. Naysayers beware he will win many more races and get the coveted Cup Title.

    Lots of reasons to like Jr. One is the nature of these 'movement' critics. Their offal is familiar and awful. Another is that he could be a hotdog, but seems to just be a nice kid. I don't know the facts, but as an old man now pretty much immobilized by a racing incident years ago, I think he needs to undertake a more rigorous conditioning problem -- like Olympics level. But then Obama spoke without knowing the facts, sowhat's the fuss? Jealous?

    It's a damn shame that the motor let go, for whatever reason. Regardless-for the obvious reasons it's awesome to see Jr qualifying/running up front again,and to hear him talk about the team making big gains in the way of communicating. And with a little time that will translate into good finishes. I know we all hoped for a championship the minute he went to Hendrick-but realistically it takes time to gel; regardless of how good the team is that you move to...BUT IT'S COMING TOGETHER!!!!! GO JR!!!

    Tonight on Nascar radio Rick Hendrick talked about the blown engine of Jr's car. First thing he said was how much of man he was to say it could have been his fault. Not many drivers would ever admit it. He also went to say the 88 is improving and he stands behind Jr all the way. He finished by saying how wins will becoming Jr's way. Rick and the entire team is behind Jr. Rick worked hard to sign Jr and he certainly is trying to get rid of him. BTW what happened to MSP? Either 3 races in a row without toyota winning or the battery on his Pirus died. ipopakeg43293388 nice to see you posting again.

Also, like Hendrick would let Jr. out early of a 5 year contract, he still brings in more $$ than other drivers, win or lose. Keep blowing that smoke, you must be inhaling it, ha ha!!! Jr. is one of the only drivers, along with other class acts such as Martin, Stewart, to name a few, that will take the blame themselves before pointing fingers all the time, i.e., Busch!!!! Take this car to Pocono, see you in Victory Lane!!!!! You deserve it.

    Hateda88 Even with a blown engine he finished better then Kyle Busch. You can hate Jr all you want, but the fact is he is the most popular driver in Nascar and that is not going to change. Go back to JRG and their failures this year. How on earth does a shifter come apart? Hamlin is driving around with his shifter disconnected. The only decent racer at Gibbs is Joey.

    Ipopakeg43293388 and SS396, great words. We we're sitting at a casino bar in Vegas when Jr.s engine blew and you could hear a pin drop then a few expleatives. It was totally frustrating.But now I'm happily back home in New Mexico, I'm looking for good finishes the rest of the year from the 88. You can see it happening. By the way about the 3 letter person, careful I think he's hiding and just recharging his batteries.

    Don't let HATEDA88 get to you. I think he's trying to get us to say something or call him something to get us kicked off of here. Just ignore him.

    Hopefully they remember to replace the motor before they take the car to Pocono :) (for those that don't have a clue, this is what is known as a joke!)

    For those that say Jr. was sick, he and Rick both said he was over the flu and felt 100%. They also didn't have Brad turn a lap as they knew that Brad would not be needed as a replacement driver.

    Oh well, It doesn't matter. His season is over. Its pretty funny how you can have a 9000 chip in the MSD and over rev it. The box is suppose to shut down cylinders so that doesn't happen.
