APRIL 2008:
McDowell OK (protected by Seat by The Joie of Seating)
After Near Head-On Crash in NASCAR Qualifying

April 5, 2008 FORT WORTH, Texas

On Monday, Michael McDowell had a long talk with Jeff Burton about driver etiquette. After walking away from a wild crash during Friday's Sprint Cup qualifying at Texas Motor Speedway, the next conversation between the two may be about safety, something that's near and dear to Burton's heart.

Heading into Turn 1 on his second qualifying lap, McDowell's No. 00 Toyota twitched, then shot up the track as he tried to catch the spin. The rookie slammed nearly head-on into the SAFER barrier, then spun upside down for several hundred yards before the car began a series of at least eight barrel rolls, coming to rest right-side up on the backstretch.

McDowell was able to exit the car under his own power and walk away from his destroyed racer, which touched off a roar from the crowd.

In speaking with Randy before he left to visit to our troops he stated; “I’m really looking forward to visiting our troops and showing my support and Thanking them for the job that they do as it has to be a tough to be away form friends and family for so long. We don’t know how lucky we are.”
Upon his return, he said it was an amazing adventure and it solidified his conviction that all Americans should be really grateful for, and need to be supportive of, all our troops, where ever they might be serving.
