Rick Hendrick has confidence in Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Eury Jr. combination

Team owner Rick Hendrick says he doesn’t think Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s problems on the race track are the result of his pairing with crew chief (and cousin) Tony Eury Jr.

And, Hendrick said during qualifying Friday at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, he doesn’t anticipate a shakeup in personnel within the No. 88 team despite fan sentiment that suggests such a move would improve the performance of the sport’s most popular driver.

“If I’m going to do something [I know] in my heart that’s not going to make it any better, just to make a lot of people happy, then I’m screwing the whole deal up,” Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports, said.  Scenedaily.com
