Hendrick: Earnhardt showing up and trying
Car owner Rick Hendrick defends the job Dale Earnhardt Jr. is doing this season even as Earnhardt struggles on the track. Earnhardt is 20th in the season standings. Last month, the team replaced Earnhardt’s crew chief, Tony Eury Jr., with Lance McGrew. “He’s had all his racing career doing things one way,” Hendrick said of Earnhardt. “Talking to the crew chief and communicating. Now, all of a sudden we’re saying with a new crew chief and working more hands-on with the engineers, this is the way they’d like for you to break it down. “If you heard him on the radio, he’s doing a heck of a job. He’s trying to change to give them better information so they can do a better job. “I couldn’t ask him to work any harder than he’s working. I don’t care what anybody says. He’s committed. He’s dedicated. And he’s showing up and he’s trying.” — Virginian-Pilot
I agree Jr. is trying very hard!
Can’t wait till Dale Jr takes the win at Daytona in july!!!!!
I think he is doing a good job now, you can’t expect great thing out of him right away! he is trying his best and he will get back up there. Give him time.
Hendrick should have dome this long ago, he might have been in the top 10 in points right now or better !!!
