Awesome to see Robby in the top 5 on the charts in practice, even though it is just a fast draft lap. But whomever said that Jr designed his scheme is wrong. It is one of the buddies he races with in his racing simulation games (NR2003 & Arca Sim Racing) that made those schemes. His Mountain Dew and Citizens Soldier cars were awesome though.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. triggered a four-car wreck during practice today when his right rear tire blew, wadding up his No. 88 Chevy and forcing his team to go to a backup car.
The wreck -- which also involved David Gilliland, Kasey Kahne and Tony Stewart -- comes shortly after the No. 88 team had to swap motors in the car.
Gilliland's car also had to be towed back to the garage. Stewart's car suffered minor damage and Kahne limped back to the garage with a blown right front tire.
I did notice that Ricky Carmichael was NOT sponsored by Monster for the ARCA race. To date Monster has sponsored everything for him. I would think if they were going to sponsor him next year in KHI's truck they would have came up with a few bucks for an ARCA race. Maybe he needs a sponsor for next year??
