NASCAR race at Richmond: Watch Dale Earnhardt Jr. get into two wrecks at Toyota Owners 400 image

Dale Earnhardt Jr. had another rocky day Sunday.

Earnhardt hit the wall when he collided with Jimmie Johnson on Lap 343 of Sunday's Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Speedway. Just 13 laps later, he spun out again.

The first wreck came when Johnson apparently didn't see Earnhardt, who was riding the high-side of the track. 

After Johnson and Earnhardt had work done to repair the damage, Earnhardt blew a rear tire and brought out another caution.

"Fix the f— fenders so the tires don't blow out," Earnhardt told his team after.

Here's a look from Earnhardt's car camera.

Earnhardt's struggles and bad luck Sunday are nothing new. NASCAR's most popular driver has just one top 10 finish in eight races this season. Earlier this week, Earnhardt announced that he'll retire after this season.
