Junior's looking for more speed
Dale Earnhardt Jr. won't give back his victory at Michigan International Speedway in June, for it was his first in more than two years and his first with Hendrick Motorsports. But he'd clearly like to win a Sprint Cup race outright -- and not on fuel mileage as he did at Michigan. Earnhardt Jr. has had a solid season with the No. 88 team, with seven top-five and 12 top-10 finishes. But since his Michigan win, Earnhardt Jr. has had only one top-10 finish, an eighth at Daytona. So as the series returns to the 2-mile Michigan track, Earnhardt Jr. is looking for more speed. Earnhardt Jr. won the LifeLock 400 in June with a car that wasn't handling as well as he would've liked. Crew chief Tony Eury Jr. said some changes are in order to try to make the No. 88 Chevrolet more competitive.

pisssed off people by the end of the day.

This place is definitely jr's kind of track. Not a lot of talent required, just a fast car. Stand on the gas & steer.

Hey Eury, make sure pit just before or with everyone else so you don't screw your own driver again!

This is OK They can bash Jr. and Eury and leave KB alone for a day.
Regarding the headline to this story, I know a few places in Miami where he can find speed.

But I have to agree, that chance was too much, even for me to understand!

No one bashing Elephant Boy -- how bout this? Jr needs more speed? Maybe he can get one of those TURD motors w/30+ ponies (with NASCARs approval I might add) and stick it in the 88. Too bad NASCAR still believes a deal is a deal..."She's real fine it's hard tellin' where the money went"...
