The namesake for "Dale's Dip" was intrigued by efforts to fix the rough spot at Texas Motor Speedway.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. complained about a slight depression between Turns 1 and 2 after the fall race, prompting a $50,000 repair job designed to "pump up" the surface of a 200-foot section of the track. Earnhardt said Friday he'd never heard of the process he read about in a newspaper.

"Sort of like, implants for a track," he mused to reporters.The namesake for "Dale's Dip" was intrigued by efforts to fix the rough spot at Texas Motor Speedway.
