Comment by Jade Gurss, Team PR Rep for Dale Earnhardt Jr., No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet Monte Carlo, regarding the practice crash:

"Dale Jr. crashed pretty hard. He hit the wall there in turn two, but he's okay. He's a little sore, but he's fine. He said he didn't cut a tire, but that something broke in the right front. We won't know exactly what it was until they have a chance to look at the car. So we're bringing out the back-up car. It ran at Indianapolis and Michigan in 2000, and took a 23rd place finish in Las Vegas in '01.
