Dale Earnhardt Jr. on Monday released his first statement regarding Thursday’s plane crash in Tennessee, one in which five people — including Earnhardt, his wife Amy and daughter Isla — escaped without serious injury.

“Amy and I want to thank everyone who has lifted us up with phone calls, messages and prayer since last Thursday,” the statement reads. “We are truly blessed that all on board escaped with no serious injuries, including our daughter, our two pilots and our dog Gus. With respect to the investigation, we will not be speculating or discussing the cause of the accident. I am thankful for the quick response of my pilots, local law enforcement, emergency personnel and hospital staff. Lastly, Amy and I continue to be very appreciative of the privacy extended to us to process everything. It has been important to do that together and on our own time.”

sold out at Darlington with heavy rain falling .... per NASCAR, "Competition officials have a solid contingent of track-drying equipment on hand: 10 NASCAR Air Titans, seven jet dryers, two Elgin sweepers, one track vacuum and a buffalo blower." .... if they get the race started tonight, they are going to have to work the heck out of all of them

watched every minute of it .... Happy for the 20, he held off a strong charge from the 18 who I was delighted to see take himself out of the fight for the lead .... good to see the 42 have a strong race .... best race in a while for the 48, ran in the top 10 (most of the time top 5) of the first two stages .... a late wreck where he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time really hurt his chance to make the chase
