What Earnhardt Jr. gained on the track, he nearly lost off of it.
As his No. 8 Chevy was pushed by team members the gas pumps after qualifying, track medical personnel traveling in a Gator 4-wheeler suddenly stopped in front of Earnhardt Jr.’s car. The team couldn’t stop the car and the two collided.
“The guys couldn’t stop the car, there isn’t any way when you come off of those ramps (at the gas pumps). It hit pretty good and smashed the nose back,” said Earnhardt Jr.’s crew chief, Tony Eury Jr.
“It had a Gator tire print on it.”
Eury said the team had nearly completed repairs on the car when the garage closed Friday night. Asked if the damage would affect the car, Eury said, “It’ll be all right. We pretty much got it fixed.”
