At first, while admitting that he did, in fact, believe in the existence of "paranoia activity" (an unintentional mispronunciation of "paranormal activity"), Junior reiterated that he had never encountered any ghosts or spirits himself. Then, with some help from his co-host Mike Davis, he remembered the time when he actually did have an otherworldly experience following a fiery wreck at Sonoma Raceway in California in 2004.
Earnhardt Jr. recounted, "When I wrecked in the Corvette in 2004 in Sonoma and 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," continued Earnhardt Jr. "I didn’t get out. I don’t have any memory of myself climbing out of the car."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was feeling pretty confident in his racing in 2004. He had pulled off a career-high third-place finish in the NASCAR Cup Series standings the previous year, and followed up his impressive performance with a win at the Daytona 500 to start the '04 season. By the time July rolled around, Dale Jr. had racked up three Cup wins and an additional six top-five finishes. In Dale's mind, he was more than ready to jump into an another type of racing.
The 2004 Grand Prix of Sonoma was the fourth race for the 2004 American Le Mans Series season held at Infineon Raceway, which is now Sonoma Raceway. It took place on July 18, 2004, and Dale Jr. was intent on qualifying for it. Driving a Chevrolet Corvette C5-R for Corvette Racing, Dale did put up a successful qualifying run, but disaster struck during warm-up the morning of the race. After going off course, Earnhardt collided with the barrier, causing a fuel line to rupture. Things got worse from there after the fuel line sparked and the car was engulfed in flames. Dale Earnhardt was trapped in the Corvette, suffering second- and third-degree burns to his neck, chest, and legs before someone pulled him out and rescue crew members brought him to safety.
