The crew chief changes on Jeff Gordon's and Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s teams immediately paid off-Gordon qualified second and Earnhardt third at New Hampshire. Gordon's new chief, Steve Letarte, says the biggest challenge for the team is 1.5- and 2-mile tracks. Gordon finished 14th at New Hampshire, a 1-mile track. Earnhardt's new crew chief, cousin Tony Eury Jr., wants to build comfortable cars for his driver. Earnhardt finished fifth--his first top five since his win July 10 at Chicago.
