Micheal Waltrip Racing's driver Micheal Waltrip was blacked flagged by Nascar for the final 30 minutes of finial practiced for aggressive driving.
Waltrip in his NAPA 55 Toyota Camry was bump drafting the 48 Chevy Impala SS of Championship leader Jimmie Johnson. Waltrip was warned by Nascar to give Johnson some space, and when he didn't they Black flagged him.
Nascar is said to be keeping a close eye on the bump drafting during this weekend, after the harrowing accident at Talladega during the spring race. The accident was caused when rookie Brad Keselowski made contract with Carl Edwards. Edwards was then sent flying into the catch fence, which sent debris into the stands and injuring several fans.
Keselowski would go on to win the race.
