Nice job at Daytona Dale Jr.

Fox’s sauciest on-air subject Sunday came when its lead announcers ripped one of NASCAR’s biggest names. After Dale Earnhardt Jr. bumped Brian Vickers, which prompted a nine-car pileup, Fox’s Larry McReynolds said it was “totally uncalled for” and Darrell Waltrip chimed in: “I don’t care who you are, that’s totally wrong!“

“One guy [Earnhardt] who had problems all day on pit road made his problems our problems,” a disappointed Busch said. “It’s unfortunate that a guy who screwed up his whole day on pit road has to make our day even worse. It cost the best car a chance to win the race.”

The only thing Jr. had to say was that it wasn’t intentional and that NASCAR needs to change the rules because he can’t manage to fit his car inside the pit box like the other drivers.
