“I’m sure it’s just the crappy parts on the race car like we’ve seen so many times,” he said“We haven’t fixed anything. It’s kinda like the safety stuff, we just let it keep going.”

“What a disaster. For no reason! We didn’t touch the wall, we didn’t touch a car and here we are in the pits with a burned up car and can’t finish the race during the playoffs because of crappy a** parts.”

But hours after the race got over, Harvick made another point about his incident. This time, he pointed toward NASCAR not throwing the caution just in time.

Dale Earnhardt Jr’s belief in paranormal activity stems from a burning car

It was an incident from 2004 at Sonoma in which he was left trapped in a burning car that fueled Dale Earnhardt Jr’s belief in ghosts and paranormal beings.

“When I wrecked in the Corvette in 2004 at Sonoma — it caught fire — somebody pulled me out of that car. And I thought that it was a corner worker because I felt somebody put their hands under my armpits and pull me out of the car,” he recalled.

“I know that when I got to the hospital, I was like, ‘Who pulled me out of the car? I gotta say thanks to this person,’ because it was a hand! It was physical hands grabbing me! I felt it. And there was nobody there.”

Reflecting on this incident, Earnhardt Jr emphasized how he believes in “paranoid activity”. “I do believe in that stuff,” he said.

“I think that our personalities and our souls have so much — we’re so much more than just blood vessels and bones and muscle, ya know?”
