Junior has no hard feelings over wreck

Posted by on May 5th, 2008

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was frustrated as he climbed out of his car following a testing session Monday.

But Earnhardt’s angst wasn’t directed at his fans’ newest villain.

His throng of supporters loudly blamed Kyle Busch for the wreck Saturday night that ended Earnhardt’s best chance to end his winless drought. But Junior was more concerned with the hit he took in the Sprint Cup standings after a possible win turned into a 15th-place finish at Richmond International Raceway.

Denny dominates the race, and loses. Junior holds the lead with two laps to go, and wrecks. Kyle Busch takes over the points lead, and oh yeah, and Clint Bowyer won the race…
