Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s quest for a seventh win at Talladega ended on Lap 50 of Sunday's Geico 500 after a three-car crash.
Much like the accident that cost him in the Daytona 500, Earnhardt's car got loose and turned sideways into teammate Kasey Kahne's car. Junior's car jad heavy front-left end damage after hitting Matt DiBenedetto's car. Damage also was caused to another Earnhardt teammates, Chase Elliott.
"I think trying to put the nose between the No. 19 (Carl Edwards) and the No. 14 (Tony Stewart) there is a lot of air coming off both those cars and just pinned the nose," Earnhardt told Fox Sports after the crash.
