- In Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s book Driver #8, he recalls a Martinsville race in his rookie season where he hit a tow truck while going to the garage. I'm pretty sure it was in this race, the 2000 NAPA AutoCare 500. This video chronicles his rough day.
It started with melting the bead on his right front tire, causing him to lose 10 laps. Then, he sustained heavy damage when he was racing back to a caution flag (no ESPN replay available), which sent him to the garage. I haven't found video evidence of it, but I would believe it would be at this moment where he ran into a two truck. He got back out there several more laps down. I missed the incident where he spun out again on lap 379.
Then, with about 21 laps to go, he ended up in the turn 1 wall on fire. Dale has said he hit the wall so hard it broke the steering. Again, no ESPN replay available. It was put on a tow truck and towed back to the garage, ending his rough day at Martinsville.

Seeing Adam's car run up front was a beautiful thing
I hope you continue to make this kind of content because I have been binge watching your videos and the quality, editing and storytelling is excellent. This channel will grow quickly!
Hit everything but the pace car that day. At one point team communication with Dale Sr. said "tell that boy to park it!" and then he had wrecked it again.
And Tony Eury Sr radioed back like “the car is on fire and now dead”
"I hope it didn't hurt car too bad" lol
Love watching these guys race. Earnhardt is my favorite. Amen 💯 truth
