I work for the ALMS and was at the track today when it happened. It was really ugly, but the track and safety workers did a great job of getting him to a safe area.

I heard from one of the pit lane workers that Earnhardt told his crew before he left that he was sorry for wrecking the car. What a sweetie.

Not a very good first experience with sports car racing, though!

Maybe once he was out of the car, but not until then. They took too long to get to him. If he had not been able to get himself out of the car, I'm not sure this would have turned out good at all.
