Dale Jr. Crashes During Practice for the American LeMans Series Posted by Hello
This is a picture from inside Dale Earhnhardt Jr.'s Corvette C5-R.  Earnhardt was driving a Chevrolet Corvette C5-R in a 30-minute practice session when the accident occurred. The car spun and impacted a barrier in the Turn 8 section of the road racing track and then caught fire.  Earnhardt escaped the car on his own.  He suffered moderate burns on his chin and his thighs.  I was at work today when I saw the crash on TV and I kid you not, everyone in the entire restaurant was watching.  It was amazing to see that kind of crash and for someone to just walk away from it.  Good thing he was wearing a full face helmet!  I don't think anyone's going to be talking about Tony Stewart this week!
