With all the talk Friday about paybacks after the Kyle Busch-Carl Edwards encounter at Bristol, Earnhardt was asked if Busch was due a payback.
Recall that a Busch bump sent Earnhardt spinning at Richmond late in that race in May. Busch wasn’t at the top of the list.
“I’ve got to get Jason Keller back before he retires,’’ Earnhardt said. “Y’all remember Myrtle Beach, my first (Busch series) race. He come off the wall and spun me out. I was running sixth.’‘
Earnhardt finished 14th in that 1996 race. Keller, a 10-time winner of what is now the Nationwide series, finished third.
“I’m glad he’s thinking of me, that means I’ve done something right,’’ Keller said, laughing. ““I don’t approve of the retirement remark. He’s got 10 more years to get me back, so I guess I’ve got something good to look forward to.’‘
