Dale Earnhardt Jr On His Car Catching Fire During The Bristol Xfinity Series Race | Dale Jr Download

[@aiwash2766]

If Dale would’ve won at Bristol I swear those fans would’ve stormed the track

[@kjprodouctions9050]

They would have torn the track up

[@lac46011]

I would’ve!!! It was awesome!!! 3rd row at the start finish line!

[@dennisb-trains23]

You know it. Tear it down! 😂😂

[@vapinbachelor289]

I said the same thing they will tear Bristol down..

[@roneasleyjr.1831]

I was ready to!!!lol... Couldn't figure out what he was doing, then heard him say, "I'm getting out." Damn near broke my heart, but at least he's ok. He didn't go out there expecting to lead the race, and damn near won it!!! No doubt in my mind, he could race full time in Xfinity and compete!!! Dale Yeah!!!

[@dalejones883]

I’ve been to many races over the years and that was one of the best times I’ve ever had watching Dale Jr lead. I’ll always cherish that moment.

[@kerrylaporte4674]

i love listening to the way Jr. tells us what's going on. He puts it all out there. Not afraid to share how he's feeling in the moment.

[@NASCARRACER89official]

It was amazing to see u run again Jr! You did fantastic, I look forward to Miami!!!!

[@aarontalksculture4946]

I've watched Dale's entire career. I had so much fun Friday night. I was like "he's actually whooping they a$$" 🤣🤣

[@brandonvarano978]

The first NASCAR race I ever watched was the 2001 Daytona 500 I was ten years old and barely understood the impact of what happened that day, however I watched you race that day and was instantly hooked I’ve been a Jr fan ever since and to see you drive now days I don’t take for granted because we all know they are few and far between but what you did at Bristol made me feel like that 10 year old kid again props to you Dale Jr I hope you realize you still very much GOT IT!!!!

[@rock1724]

My life felt normal again seeing you in that race car Dale. Thanks for going out and looking forward to Miami!

[@BrianRaby998VL]

Was great to see Dale Jr. back in a racecar again..👏👏👏👊

[@QuantumLightworker]

I have been a fan as, as long I can remember, since the 70’s.. Watching your father compete and watching you to retirement. NASCAR just is no the same without you behind the wheel. Completing. Isn’t ironic that the views went down when Dale jr retired..? I know you are still there producing and finding great talent to continue the sport of NASCAR. NASCAR needs a Earnhardt racing period.

[@dennismcgowan4059]

Well said! Been a Petty fan since late sixties, early seventies. My dad used to bring me home all of the sports digests, especially the racing magazines. God bless.

[@teresagoodwin7458]

It was SO EXCITING TO SEE YOU LEADING THIS RACE AT BRISTOL THAT WORDS AREN'T ADEQUATE FOR THE FEELING OF SEEING AND FEELING THAT EXCITEMENT AND EXPERIENCE IT WITH ALL THE EARNHARDT FANS DALE!!!! IF NOT FOR THAT UNFORTUNATE SMALL FIRE(AND THANK GOD IT WAS SMALL AND SEMI CONTAINED)EVERY PERSON AT BRISTOL WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE TRACK TO CELEBRATE WITH YOU AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAY THE SECURITY AND POLICE COULD HAVE STOPPED THE CELEBRATION AND GOTTEN ALL OF THE PEOPLE INSIDE THAT TRACK SUBDUED!!!!! IT WAS BEYOND EXCITING SEEING YOU LEADING THIS RACE AND I KNOW YOU WERE AS EXCITED AS WE WERE !!! I'M THANKFUL TO GOD AND THE GUARDIAN ANGEL'S THAT WERE WITH YOU TO GET YOU STOPPED AND PEOPLE TO ASSIST YOU GETTING YOU OUT OF THAT CAR!!!! I know you inhaled toxic smoke and I PRAY THAT NO DAMAGE WAS DONE TO YOUR LUNGS🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻AMEN 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 MOST EXCITING RACE I'VE SEEN SINCE YOU QUIT RACING FULL TIME 🎉🎉💞🤗💞🏁🏆🏁 PRAISE GOD THAT YOU'RE OKAY🙏🏻🙏🏻 JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU'RE NEVER ALONE AND YOU ARE LOVED AND LIFTED UP IN PRAYER ALONG WITH YOUR PRECIOUS FAMILY AND THEIR RESPECTIVE FAMILIES AND MIKE AND HIS PRECIOUS FAMILY AND TO THE CREW THAT HELPED YOU OUT OF THE CAR TO SAFETY AND THEIR RESPECTIVE FAMILIES NOW AND ALWAYS 🙏🏻AMEN 🙏🏻💞🤗💞🏁🏆🏁🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@santoprince3857]

He could still be racing and be up front he still got it big time loved that he can jump into Nascar and win and will win miami

[@jaydead863]

jr still got it.

[@thegonz7833]

most enjoyable race ive seen in a long time,hung with you every lap.

[@Figway55]

We all love and appreciate everything you've done for NASCAR and the racing community. You did a great job friday night Junebug! Watched every lap, happy you are safe 🤘

[@ryanwalker1593]

Was an awesome effort Jr. Proud to see you drop in and go again. Hope its fun at homestead. Ill be ready for another awesome showing?

[@drj.tmgllc]

Jr is a great driver. In enjoyed watching the race and him in the lead!

[@JWD26]

Jr could still contend for an Xfinity championship if he ran full time. It was awesome to see him run up front. They would sell so many more tickets if he ran more

[@ClubHouse420]

It was great to see JR back on the track I was pulling for you hard man. Never was a fan when you were running weekly but I've gained mad respect for you as a driver and person since coming across dirty mo media. I'm converted I'll always be a Dale JR fan brother. Hope to see you out there again in the future!!!

[@eljefe62]

It was the best race of the year as far as I'm concerned. We loved watching how competitive you are. We would have loved to have seen the outcome had the fire not taken you out of the race. We're glad you're safe! If you race at Bristol next year, we WILL make the trip!

[@vix58]

It was freakin' AWESOME!!

[@kellybolton6218]

I LOVED seeing u back in the car You are Nascar for me Its only exciting when You are Running thank U for all the great years and the few times ur back Im Always Entertained and can watch U drive anything tell the cows come home thanks again 👍 love what ur doin❤🚘so glad the fire thing was small and u got out quickly and safely those pesky wires😂 much love Godspeed admiration forever

[@ChadBall-fr2pj]

Dang I was there , remembering great days from the past I have enjoyed watching you drive for your whole career. Awesome to see you lead again, HOPING for next year.

[@jamesakers1175]

Man that place rocked when you took the lead. Awesome job Junebug you still got it. Hope you have a good time at Homestead running the wall.

[@JRW1776]

Dale we need you to run Bristol every year please. That race was so fun to watch!

[@uprightfossil6673]

Got in late. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Wasn’t a bit surprised where you raced. Tough break, but that’s NASCAR. You never know who is gonna win

[@manleybrittain1296]

Dale, that wire should be in a conduit to prevent this from happening again! I am glad you did not get burned again!

[@geraldbentley5781]

You drove a great race You were having fun !!!!!!😊😊

[@orendz7740]

Man I haven’t been that pumped up since you’ve retired Dale. I loved every minute of watching you driving that car and leading. NASCAR, hell, the racing world isn’t the same without you driving. I still watch but I don’t get that nervous rush feeling when you’re leading anymore because you’re not out there. I hope this doesn’t sound disrespectful and I mean no disrespect but the Earnhardts left nascar too soon man.

[@JJA1987]

You deserve to win a race again and it should’ve happened the other night at Bristol

[@oldermusiclover]

glad you are ok

[@santoprince3857]

I'm Jr Nation all the way love you junior

[@jonathandye5950]

Glad your good after that wild night at Bristol. You had a hot rod there for sure. Just happy you ran an had a good run an a good time. Long as you enjoyed it thats what matters

[@outfield1988]

Was so awesome to see Dale run . A shame the car laid down😊

[@keenangreen8656]

I like how he says “They’re ain’t supposed to be fire in the car mike” as if mike ain’t following the story or doesn’t get how serious this situation was 😂

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

What a wild night for Dale Jr. at Bristol. A fast car, going to the front to lead some laps. And then he even lit it up with an electrical fire inside the car cabin. This was a close call, as Dale Jr.’s fire suit actually started to melt and burn. He was literally on fire here. Smartly he drops down to pit road and the pit crew from the #20 car runs out to help Dale Jr. Get out of his car. Soon after the track safety personnel arrived to extinguish the fire. Near miss, close call, excitement, wild night!

[@Drew625in2une]

That firesuit is worth a million. Ebay. Love to see it displayed on your set.

[@jxxszn2793]

about damn shed a tear almost seeing dale win a race after only ever seeing him race two times in my life rip SR LL JR

[@BlatantDave]

was great seeing you out there on the track Dale Jr!

[@Hutt92]

I don't care if jr finishes last I just love seeing him on the track again. Would definitely love to see him win again but him just being there is enough for me. I'm a huge big E fan and Been a jr fan his whole career I have a hard time watching races now that he's retired.

[@gilhiggins]

If Jr. won that race, Bristol would’ve burnt down

[@Leger2jz]

Dale is a national treasure. We need to protect him at all costs. ILY JUNE BUG!!

[@jameshunt649]

BIG FAN OF YOURS DALE JR ! GLAD YOU ARE OK !❤

[@butch1508]

Awesome job Jr.

[@thomasmcclure2057]

Wish he would run Texas. He was usually competitive here and we miss seeing him race.

[@dandtintennessee7675]

Dale has had more than his fair share of experience with fire.

[@santoprince3857]

Jr was dominant in a long run yellow flags if that stayed green he would have lap everyone and won the race

[@TEC_Stuff]

Great night of racing, and you made it home safe, Jr. That’s what all of us fans know is the best part of your night of whuppin’ you put on the field. As for the mess that the fire extinguishers made inside your car, Dale, I wish NASCAR would switch to the FireAid fire extinguisher products. NHRA uses FireAid on all of the race cars and motorcycles, the fires get put out, and the vehicles can get ready for the next round without all of the white chemical powder mess. It would be neat to see NASCAR create a more driver accessible fire bottle that could be activated with a hose and a valve inside the car to put out small fires inside the car and create another layer of safety for the drivers. FireAid would work just fine in that application. Glad you are safe, looking forward to seeing your efforts at the Homestead race next month.

[@quentingitzlaff3658]

I was there, the energy when he was leading was crazy and the disappointment and confusion when he pulled down pit road, my self included

[@luny_mrg8868]

Dale pulled a Ricky Bobby on fire seeking help lol

[@charlesandsandrafox2655]

Great run. Know you had fun.

[@bofat6978]

Hearing Junior, all I could think of was when Ricky Bobby was on fire. 😂

[@joeplem5329]

I was really hoping to see him and Justin battle for the win!!!

[@JakeSnakeNC]

Dale Jr should race Xfinity full time

[@karenwilson4322]

So glad Jr. didn't get hurt but it was so fu@$ing awesome watching him race!!

[@rickrudd]

Mike's in the background going , "That's right... that's right... that's right..." like a Black preacher's hype man. 😂

[@everythingracing5835]

I hope u have the same speed in Miami

[@JJA1987]

If not more

[@lewismeadowsjr1241]

There should have been a fusible link at the battery to that wire. This would have stopped the fire but it also cuts the car off. Great run tho. I sure you had flash backs from Daytona

[@MrTurboparker]

Hey, Dale - I think you would've pulled-off the win if it wasn't for the fire. Just glad that the fire wasn't worse!

[@duanequam7709]

He did win in my View. He is OK . What more of a win could you ask for!

[@mrwinston_thepug]

Jr has to retell what he says so many times, repeating himself even though Mike said "I get it" . Mike is so patient.

[@trumanlewis8237]

Run the electric line through a some conduit behind the leg board.

[@carolynadkins1887]

Like old time’s for sure 😊😊😊 loved it

[@lacosanostra20]

I mean, as disappointing as it is. You know, it could have been a lot worse. The inside of that car had been fully engulfed I'm just glad you're okay and you're safe

[@thomaslesser9708]

And why isn't that foam fireproof? Why isn't power cable more protected?

[@TheLandPirates1]

It was awesome, I was standing up hooting and hollering at my TV when he was leading 🏋🏻‍♂️

[@marywright6759]

So good to see you racing. So disappointed at the ending. You could have won that race.

[@michaelmchugh2923]

Bad ass run!!!!

[@mikemiller7946]

At least you were running good.

[@dennismcgowan4059]

Personally, I would prefer that Dale and the drivers that aren't full-time should stay out of playoff races. But I'm sure that money and filling the seats has something to do with it. Dale leading the race and having a chance to win was awesome!! Shows you how great his team is. His drivers are always top five and ten.

[@bradwilliams1881]

He is a genuine human being

[@charles-mp9nt]

That sucked you was running great! And I'm first

[@toddbowser9415]

Man!! I can tell ya, I was really hoping you were gonna spank that field!!

[@boblister665]

You had a short to ground with a poor conductor but high amps, Slow burn but not enough draw to short battery

[@ajdahun]

carbon fiber IS a conductor, as is nylon and some other stuff folks think, erroneously is not

[@malikdigger4544]

Good news is ur ok from Friday night Xfinity Series race Dale Jr. always thought smoke was coming near transmission by floor heat seal.

[@jamesfalls3310]

Good job junebug!!

[@jamesfalls3310]

Junebug is what D W called him ,when he was working as a race anoulcer or commentatier.

[@TontoRita-dc4xb]

He smelled what the Rock is cooking.

[@glenryan6569]

You probably got a few texts from the competition telling you to stay in the booth. Lol

[@pushatune2606]

I must admit Jr been in some of the most scariest situations fire or not from Sonoma, plane landing crash & no steering in Dega

[@paulcrocker4553]

The fire he got injured in, while driving the Corvette race car.

[@mutantryeff]

Reminds me of the song with they lyrics: "She's hot, I know, as she told me so."

[@JohnThomas-hx3bi]

Glad you okay jr. What can yall/nascar do to fix both issues the fire of foam and the sawing of wire for the short tracks?

[@justacoupleofkids320]

Surprised that NASCAR doesn’t require a fire resistant foam material, fire resistant materials throughout the car for that matter…

[@tylerbuckley4661]

Glad it fid not turn worse for you Dale glad you made it out

[@dirtberger4533]

Yes. I think he would have won,the way he was driving, dominating 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁👍,showing the kids how it's done.

[@jerryramsey8697]

My little niece was miss food city that weekend and got some cool pic in victory lane

[@TonyWud]

Dale, you ever hear the saying, "The postman always rings twice."?

[@michaelmchugh2923]

Dale jr could be rattling off a few championships between the ages of 45 to 55. Its just the Earnhardt factor.

[@RobRoane]

Jr just doesn’t have good luck with fire! 😬

[@TallapoosaHellraiser.]

Would it still happen if you put a switch on the -negative instead of the +positive?

[@bevnracin]

That fire made me remember that Corvette wreck and terrible fire . I have to ask WHY didn't the AMR SAFETY CREW NOT COME ? I heard on your radio communications that someone told you " They said they're not coming " . That really bothers and bugs me !

[@bullrules33]

Jr has never blown a leaf blower at a fire. The air fuels the fire more and gets hotter n hotter.

[@shawnjohnson9887]

Dale- “there’s a fire” Spotter n crew cheif “good lap yatta yatta” Dale-“THERE IS A FIRE” Spotter n crew cheif “ so you still gonna take boat out this weekend yatta yatta”

[@frederalbacon]

While we all love seeing Jr still driving, between catching fire and his concussion issues, I wish he would stay off the track. He's too good of an influence in the sport to lose to an on-track incident at this point.

[@maverick024gaming3]

I called my dad up he wasn't watching and I said you ain't going to believe this you need to get up Juniors about to take the lead he's running them down I was literally freaking out it was fun watching the 88 go around there and the helmans paint Scheme looks so damn good looking forward to Homestead

[@94nolo]

He's really good btw

[@JohnSisk-oh2zk]

Did the car go r & d for exam

[@timothykirkman7097]

good story

[@IndependenceRanch]

I’m not a nascar fan, but I have always appreciated Dale Jr. But I laughed my butt off listening to this. Dale’s story telling skills are a bit lacking. LOL! Don’t anyone get butt hurt by my comment. He’s a great guy and a great racer. But he must be a hoot to hang out with at a get together with his friends.

[@trenawawrzyniak4397]

Now the mechanics need to find a solution that this accident never happens again. When Dale Jr. Was leading the race I was yelling at the tv cheering him on. When he caught on fire I yelled at the tv n cursed Jr . Motorsports mechanics for not forseeing a potential problem. I yelled so loud my neighbor in my high rise apartment building knocked on my door to see if I was okay. As a Dale Jr. Fan it was so great seeing him leading the race. I will be watching when he goes to Homestead n wishing for a win. Dale Jr. Still has the ability to go to a race track n get it done n the Fans love to see him race.

[@andyhomrich5215]

Install a fuse at the battery...

[@BSUxFAN29]

Wouldn't it be the opposite? Air blowing on a fire normally makes it bigger

[@73novacustom76]

If there’s enough air it helps contain it, like blowing out candles. It’s all about the size of the fire and the amount of wind.

[@Sixpointtwoliter]

A low amount of air, not volumes of it at a time consistently
