If Dale Earnhardt Jr. is to win Sunday's Food City 500 it will be after coming back from a mechanical issue at the start of the race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
NASCAR's most popular driver had the power go out in his car as the field came to the green flag. Junior made his warmup laps just fine from his 20th starting position but was forced to pit before entering Turn 1 because of the problem.
Things go south early for #DaleJr . He's now two laps down at @BMSupdates .
