Michigan: Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon NASCAR Sprint Cup Post-Race Press Conference :: PaddockTalk :: F1, Formula 1, NASCAR, IndyCar, MotoGP, ALMS, And More!: "Q. Dale, if you had plenty of fuel and the guys in front of you didn't, why couldn't you make up more ground? Were they running pretty hard?
DALE EARNHARDT, JR.: Why couldn't I make up more ground?
Q. If they had to conserve fuel, were they running pretty hard at the end? Were you concerned with fuel?
DALE EARNHARDT, JR.: I was trying to catch them. I think I was there. We were the fastest car up until we got to within about 15 car lengths of Jeff. I got real tight. I'm sure by that time, they have to race for the win eventually. Somebody is going to start to try to chance it first. It looked like Vickers was the one that did that. He pushed the 48 much harder than probably Jimmie was wanting to go.
I think Jeff and me both were sitting there knowing we didn't have a real shot at catching him 'cause of the way the cars were all kind of equal. But we were running pretty hard."
