Dale Earnhardt Jr. knows he and his team will be in this year's Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, but the Hendrick Motorsports driver said he doesn't plan to coast through the two remaining races before the Chase begins. "We can still try to get some wins," Earnhardt Jr. said Tuesday during a break in testing at Martinsville Speedway. Earnhardt Jr. and his No. 88 team will roll into Atlanta, site of Sunday?s Oral-B USA 500 (ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET), second in points and looking for their fourth win of the season. Earnhardt Jr. is one of 12 drivers with one or more wins this season, thus all but guaranteed a spot in the 16-team Chase field.
