Retired NASAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. spoke out for the first time after his family survived a plane crash, thanking supporters for their well wishes and saying he wouldn’t be “speculating or discussing the cause of the accident.”
Earnhardt said in a statement on Aug. 19 that he and his wife, Amy, wanted “to thank everyone who has lifted us up with phone calls, messages, and prayer,” since the crash, which saw the couple and their daughter, Isla, escape from the aircraft before it burst into flames.
