#31- Ryan Newman thought he had a flight to Michigan arranged for Friday morning. There was only one problem: The Sprint Cup driver planning on letting him hitch a ride left him at the airport. That driver? #88-Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt tweeted Friday morning that he forgot that he had told Newman he could fly on his plane to Michigan. By 9:45, there had been no word on whether Newman had found another flight. Sprint Cup Series practice at Michigan International Speedway was scheduled for 11:00am/et. Newman’s wife, Krissie, then responded that her husband had caught on flight on Dale Jarrett’s plane.(Sporting News)
