Dale was forced to go to his backup car (which was the car that he ran at Atlanta) after wrecking his primary car during practice. Thankfully because his wreck was before qualifying, he did not lose his qualifying position and started 19th. After flirting with the top 10, making an unexpected pit stop due to a tire going flat, and working his way back from 2 laps down, Dale finished the day in 18th and moved up one spot to 12th in the standings. Next week the boys head to Dover, which will be the first track where Dale and Lance had worked together last year in the 88. Let's hope that's a good sign for both driver and crew chief!!
On another note, I have not heard Dale joke around near as much as he did Saturday night. It was nice to hear!! (Personally, I think it was because Brenda was there watching Dale race.)
