It was the closing rate that bit the 88...48 made an odd move & away she went. NASCAR needs to speed up the single cars, but who knows if changes will come. DW didn't blame the 7...just a product of no draft practice & the teams that didn't run the Bud-Shootout.

I'd love to see how different the responses would be on this site had the situation been reversed. Robby was at least partially to blame.

ESPN's take:

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. has wrecked his pole-winning Daytona 500 car.

Earnhardt was pushing Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson in Wednesday's practice when the contact caused Johnson to bobble.

A second pack of cars led by Martin Truex Jr. closed quickly on Earnhardt's bumper, causing the No. 88 Chevrolet to spin across the track and into the inside wall.

Hendrick Motorsports immediately pulled out a backup car for Earnhardt. He will have to forfeit the top starting spot in Sunday's season-opening race.

It will be Earnhardt's third car of Speedweeks. He wrecked one in last weekend's exhibition Budweiser Shootout.

Your right about the responses...would be totaly different. I would be pissed taking out the little guys...jk. Just a product of the closing rate with this years Daytona. Feel bad for Jr...hopefully he has a great race come sunday.
Gas On...

Maybe the 7 will at least get into some highlight packages out of this.

cool - thanks

Cool, most work for this race is done at the shop(aero). If your happy with the Geometry there's no reason to put more miles on a motor and risk a wreck.
