Earnhardt, Jr says engine problems are fixed for Vegas
Quote selected text Published March 5th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Dale Earnhardt Jr. says his team has figured out the source of its engine woes and is optimistic heading into Sunday’s UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 NASCAR Nextel Cup race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Both Earnhardt Jr. and his Dale Earnhardt Inc. teammate Martin Truex Jr. suffered engine failures at California Speedway Feb. 25. Since then, the DEI engineers have worked to discover exactly what the source of the problem was.
“We found out what caused the engine failure at California, and our guys have been busting their [butts] to make sure we don’t have that problem again,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “The most positive thing we took from California is that we had a car that was really fast. We had a flat tire, but then we came back out and passed Matt Kenseth even with a loose wheel that caused a bad vibration.
“That shows we had a really good setup, and we’re taking that same chassis to Las Vegas.”
