Drivers don't get anything for practice, but without it they won't reap any rewards in the featured races.

That is especially true on a dirt track for racers who spend most of their lives on pavement with the added grip provided by the asphalt.

In Tuesday night's practice for the Eldora Dirt Derby in Rossburg, Ohio, Chase Briscoe carried too much speed into turn three in the No. 29 Brad Keselowski truck. He climbed the wall and almost flipped.



A few minutes later, Johnny Sauter spun harmlessly in the same corner. He sat in the high groove for about 30 seconds and probably would have escaped trouble on a paved track on which the trailing had better braking. 



Instead, Harrison Burton piled into the No. 21 almost 15 seconds later. Sauter rolled down the track and then backed into the No. 51 -- presumably to express his displeasure. 



All three trucks sustained significant damage but will be in action for Wednesday night's race.
