Earnhardt was in tandem with Jimmie Johnson when the five-time champion has been slowed because of traffic. Dale Jr. was then struck from behind by Martin Truex Jr., who was pushed by other cars.

Here are some pictures of D.J. during a 2008 race in Cayuga when his sweet Castrol ride was a little green.

The Nascar Canadian Tire Series race - the Wild Wings 300, was held at Barrie Speedway and it was a good day for racing. The main event was a night race and the brakes of the stock cars became so hot as they entered the corners that they glowed a deep red (Scott Steckly leads JR Fitzpatrick above).
The racetrack is up Highway 400 and onto Highway 11 just north of Barrie. Turning off 11 I thought that this race was going to be huge. Parking lots full of cars, traffic guys directing traffic, there were a lot of people in this area. It turns out that a large hunk of the crowd were there for the 40th annual fall auto flea market, but a lot did stay for the race which had a large turnout. Here I am on the track following the driver autograph session.
Barrie Speedway is a small oval race track with not a lot of straight runs available. You hit the corners and when you come out of the corner you have to get setup for the next one. It is tight and with a large field of high speed vehicles you are just waiting for trouble. So there were a number of contacts and turn arounds (there were eight cautions in the race, JR Fitzpatrick takes a little detour, below, while Jeff Lapcevich goes by and Kerry Micks of the 02 car seems to be missing a few parts) during the race and it is always funny to see mangled race cars stripped of broken parts and exposed engines running the race.
The race day starts early in the afternoon with a one hour practice (Jason White of the 21 car, below, is sponsored by A&W and the team always gives out free A&W Root Beers) and later a two lap qualifying run which determines a car's start position. A short time later the cars are lined up on the track and the fans are allowed onto the track to get autographed photos from the Nascar drivers.

Here are the race winners as they cross the finish line side by side. Car 17 squeaks into the lead and takes the checkered flag for the winner's victory lap.
The top three get their trophies, from left to right - Pete Shepherd III (3rd), DJ Kennington (1st) and Don Thomson Jr (2nd). After this photo they sprayed each other with the traditional champagne showers.

At the time Bill France founded NASCAR (National Asosiation Stock Car Auto Racing for) 21 February 1948, he never imagined the race car will be the second most popular spectator after the American football. Although the appeal of this game is very closely related to the production vehicle, at that age is just a car race car endurance race covers include car endurance race dimedan rough climb or explore the snowy or muddy field with enough distance so far.
With this condition, the drivers often feel daunting challenge because the tires frequently destroyed before the finish. Therefore, the vehicle is equipped with a folding hatches are placed above the track as one of "technical features" to give to the driver about the condition of the tires. This anecdote has lasted a long time, the standard of this race weekend and then was increased to achieve a leading and very popular kesuksesan.Liga is next in the series championship race.
NASCAR technology has been standardized in the 1960s category V8 engine, with cylinder capacity of 5.7 liters is a consideration in making the standard. Now the engine manufacturers such as Dodge and Chevrolet vehicles meproduksi more than 800 HP (horse power). However, for security reasons a floe water restrictor fitted to reduce the power of 450 HP. What remains is the dirty cars and the roaring sound typical machine-another reason why NASCAR racing series so popular.
IF stage of a Formula 1 has the latest Car Safety ie SLS AMG Mercedes-Benz Gullwing, the difference again in the NASCAR race car with his pace car. This weekend there will be a new car pace that is present in the figure of 2011 Ford Mustang V6.
This iconic car will escort Ford in the NASCAR race in Bristol Food Land 500 Internastional Speedway. This is the second Mustang Wara-wiri in NASCAR racing this year after a 5.0-liter Mustang GT racing guide in Daytona 500 activities this February.
While not the strongest Mustang models available in the range 2011 model, V6 Mustang trusted more than capable for the task of the new engine thanks to the 3.7-liter six-speed transmit his power that is able to haul 305 horsepower with a torsional strength are close to 380Nm (38.7 kgm) .
With such abilities, V6 Mustang should not be experiencing difficulties meant to guard the Bristol race on the circuit along the half-mile oval is. Besides this pony car, is listed as the most efficient pace car in NASCAR history with its fuel consumption which records 13.2 km / liter on the highway.
