Well it sounded as if NASCAR hotshot Kyle Busch was just waiting to take a shot at Dale Earnhardt Jr. In the media center yesterday at Dover "It's never Junior; it's always the crew chief," said Busch, who fired the opening shots when asked about team owner Rick Hendrick's dismissal of Tony Eury Jr. as Earnhardt's crew chief a day earlier. Jr. handled the comments in stride and handled as professionally as he could "He's always had a chip on his shoulder for me," Earnhardt said of Busch, "so I expect any time he gets an opportunity to throw a jab in there he's going to do it. That's just his personality."

It is now time for Jr. to get to work and put his head down and focus on getting his team together and producing some positive results.
