Earnhardt crossed the finish line at 2:41 a.m. local time on Monday, filled with dread after Dillon's car sailed upside down into the fence then shot back onto the track. The car was on its roof and mangled when it was hit hard by Brad Keselowski.
The car tore down a section of fencing, debris scattered into the grandstands, and crew members from several teams raced to check on Dillon.
It then took just three laps for the action to begin as David Gilliland sliced across the front of Clint Bowyer to trigger a nine-car accident that collected Logano and Danica Patrick, among others.
Tony Stewart, winner of the 2005 race that ended at 1:42 a.m., sliced his way through the carnage, then grumbled on his radio about early-race aggressiveness.
'Somebody please remind me how much Lap 2 pays again?' he said.
