Dale Earnhardt Jr. said in a interview that he made a mistake and drove his No. 88 National Guard Chevrolet into the grass on the front-stretch at Texas Motor Speedway. The results was a blown tire and a fireball erupting and following his car around the track. Earnhardt Jr. parked his car and evacuated safely.
