Earnhardt relaxed about Chase

Dale Earnhardt Jr says he is not putting himself under pressure to return to the Chase this year but believes his team to be good enough to make it into the play-off when the field is set at Richmond tonight. The Hendrick Motorsports driver arrives at the final race of the regular season needing a 20th place finish or better to secure a place in the championship battle, regardless of his rivals' results. Earnhardt has missed the play-off for the past two seasons, but despite not winning thus far in 2011 he has been able to remain in the top 10 in the standings for most of the season and is on the verge of entering the Chase by virtue of his consistency
