The only certainty about Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s next crew chief after Steve Letarte? He won’t be chosen by the driver. ‘I won’t make any suggestions at all,’ Earnhardt said in putting the decision in the hands of Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick and general manager Doug Duchardt. ‘I don’t really want to have any influence on the choice. It was Rick and upper management that decided to put me with Steve. I didn’t know how that was going to work out, but I just wanted to trust their judgment, and that’s what I’m going to do.’(USA Today)
