KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Even though he fought the handling of his No. 88 Chevrolet in Sunday’s Camping World RV 400 at Kansas Speedway, Earnhardt hasn’t abandoned his hopes for a first Cup championship.

--(Cont'd From Front Page)-- Asked if the Chase should be considered a three-man race at this point -- given that only Biffle and Edwards are within 100 points of Johnson -- Earnhardt was emphatic with his response.

“I hope not, hell -- unless you’re counting me in,” said Earnhardt, eighth in the standings and 190 points behind his Hendrick Motorsports teammate.

“I think an average driver would have finished about 35th. I told my guys that. I don’t know. We had fun regardless. The car wasn’t that good. We just made the best of it. We aren’t dialing our car in. We were real bad in the second practice. The track gets slick, we ain’t working the car in to get it comfortable. That was the best I could do.

"We made light of it though. I told them they were lucky to have me."
