Jr. suffered an engine failure and watched his "Chase" chances dwindle

His motor decided the show was over the Centurion Boats at the Glen (Watkins Glen International )

Now Earnhardt and his crew find themselves in serious jeopardy of missing the Chase for the Nextel Cup playoffs.Earnhardt came to Watkins Glen International in 13th place, just seven points behind the final Chase spot. He leaves sitting 14th, 100 points back of Kurt Busch. His was the first hauler to pull out of the garage area on Sunday evening.
With four races left before the playoff shootout, Junior may need a miracle."It won't be easy, but we've done a whole lot harder stuff than that," Earnhardt said.
