The 2004 Grand Prix of Sonoma was the fourth race for the 2004 American Le Mans Series season held at Infineon Raceway. It took place on July 18, 2004. This race saw Corvette Racing enter a third Corvette C5-R for NASCAR Nextel Cup star Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and co-driven by Boris Said. The car was successfully qualified but in warm-up the morning of the race Earnhardt went off course and collided with a barrier, causing a rupture of a fuel line. The broken fuel line was sparked when the car came to a stop and caused the car to be engulfed in flames, with Earnhardt inside dazed by the accident and unable to get himself out immediately. Once Earnhardt was able to become aware of his situation and rescue crews were able to arrive, Earnhardt was successfully pulled from the burning vehicle. He received second and third degree burns to his neck, chest, and legs, partially due to not wearing a fire- retardant balaclava with his helmet.
