Those concerns spilled over to this year, when Dale Jr. said this before racing at Talladega:

"This was one I was worried about, in the back of my mind I was a little concerned,'" Earnhardt said. "You can't win the race if you race scared. I've raced scared here before and you don't do well when that happens, so you have to block it out and take the risks and hope it's not your day to get in one of those accidents and it wasn't."
