It’s white gloves for Earnhardt in NASCAR
Dale Earnhardt Jr. bumped Elliott Sadler from behind, turning Sadler sideways into Denny Hamlin. Kasey Kahne was caught up in the aftermath when he was unable to avoid Hamlin's spinning car.
"It's self-explanatory if you watch the tape," Junior said. "I got into the back of Elliott trying to bump draft and he wasn't up on the straightaway yet. I got into him too early and wrecked him and wrecked both racecars. I'm sorry about that.
"We were back there, trying to do what we could do and I was trying to help a friend of mine and just got over-zealous and overdid it."
Golden boy Dale Earnhardt Jr. gets the white gloves treatment when it comes to NASCAR. Remember NASCAR's ban on bump drafting in the corners? Well when it come to their Golden boy it's OK. Junior admitted that he "bumped drafted" the No. 19 car in the middle of a corner in Saturday's Budweiser Shootout causing a wreck. Was he penalized? Of course not.
