Dale Earnhardt Jr. earned his fourth win of the season on Sunday at Martinsville Speedway in an emotional victory a week after he was eliminated from the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Jeff Gordon was second, giving Hendrick Motorsports a 1-2 finish on the 10-year anniversary weekend of the fatal plane crash that killed owner Rick Hendrick's son and nine others aboard. ''This means so much to all of us,'' Earnhardt said. I would have loved to have gotten that win to move on to Homestead, but this is certainly a great start for us.'' Chase driver Ryan Newman was third, and Tony Stewart finished fourth.
