no one really talks about it but this wreck has clearly changed him. He no longer has the “checkers or wreckers edge”. He has turned into Kyle Petty who also didnt have that edge needed to be a front runner.
NEWMEXICOSUNSET have you ever driven a race car…you act as if your a professional…an we all have never seen you on tv nor do we know who you are so pls if you speak have some credibility…
That is why Jr. will NEVER see himself in a Corvette again.
And that is why I appreciate road racing more than the roundy-round. More to get right every corner of every lap. Brake points, turn in points, exit points. Every lap you are thinking 2-3 points ahead to where you need to be. Connecting the dots.
He may have upset the car over the curbing as well. So I may need to cut him some slack.
But still. First lap. Cold tires, cool track. And a practice session for Gosh sakes.
Trying to figure out what he did. I can hear some throttle applied after the upshift just before he spun. Looks like some tight corners. So he may have been trying to take a shortcut to the next apex and accelerate to the next apex. So I can assume it was the first lap cool tires on a cool track, and he didn’t give the tires time to warm up.

@sirlockness I think you are totally right. Now I think he races scarred. Not trying to rag on JR but I think it’s true.

this crash has scared him half to death after this crash and this is why he can’t drive like he used to
This proves that NOOB CRAPCAR drivers can’t drive in REAL racing.
wow so all those fires at NASCAR are from the drivers not the cars
This killed his confidence I bet.
cool dude i was there when that happened and i have pics of that car in the pits the day before it burned

Dale Earnhardt Jr needs to stick to his redneck nascars.
it wasn’t the fuel cell, it was the fuel lines leading from the fuel cell that failed.
the fuel cells are junk, he barley hit the wall.
