I just learned that Dale Jr's rear brake's locked up at Martinsville. It amazes me how THREE guys in the booth and not one person mentioned what happened and if they did then I missed it TWICE. I re-watched the race. I thought what a stupid move by JR, Because I thought he just overdrove the corner because he was so worried about getting by Kahne. The only thing I heard was WALLY"S BIG MOUTH saying he was going to fast getting in the corner. Granted he was going a little fast but not fast enough to lose it. His objective was to go in hard and move Kahne up the track. I DO NOT think wally need's to be in the booth. I know that he may know about a race car but he doesn't know much more than that. He definitly doesn't know about overdriving anything maybe underdriving LOL Shocked. Correct me if I am wrong, But I think that I heard wally say he was going to run a race or something. I only have 1 question. WHY? It's a waste of a position on the track good race car and hopefully he won't spin somebody out. OK I FEEL BETTER.

I believe it was said in his interview or sometime before it was over. Its amazing that his brakes also locked up when he bumped into Travis in practice. Also if you listened to Jrs radio before he bumped into Khane I've got to question that he didnt just over drive it. But thats my opinion and I'm sure it wont go over well

I hadn't heard that (other than reading that here),... could be true though...
Easy to start adjusting on brake bias, and get too much adjusted to the rear.
When you start jumping on the brakes and get to much on the rears you will spin on (on big tracks),.. but on shorts tracks it wheel hops,... so it makes sense.
SO it wheel hopped,.. and then it spun out on him,.. probably also because he tried to not run into Kahne.
