A tough week for him. And carl edwards hits the wall, out the caution. And then, lap 91, a pair of rookies involved in a hard crash near the back of the pack and, they are both in the first run ever at the 500. And the car hard up the hill and into the wall and he walks away from the car as does the reigning Xfinity Series champ, the third caution of the rain. The race was relatively clean and lap 169, after more than an hour of green flag racing we have action, Dale Earnhardt, jr.
