Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Family Survive Plane Crash

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Family Survive Plane Crash

We’re glad they’re safe!

SO SCARY! Dale Earnhardt Jr. was on a plane with his wife, child, and dog when their jet ran off the end of the runway and caught on fire.

Luckily, everyone involved survived the crash.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was taken to the hospital where his injuries were described as cuts and abrasions.

I can confirm Dale, Amy & Isla along with his two pilots were involved in a crash in Bristol TN this afternoon. Everyone is safe and has been taken to the hospital for further evaluation. We have no further information at this time. Thank you for your understanding.
