NBC television personality and former NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., has been taken to the hospital after the charter plane he and wife Amy Reimann were aboard ran off the end of the runway and caught fire Thursday at a municipal airport in northeast Tennessee.

All those aboard the aircraft survived the crash, according to the Carter County Sheriff's office, though the passengers' conditions are unclear.

Earnhardt, 44, retired from racing in 2018 after a 22-year career. He is the son of Dale Earnhardt Sr., a renowned driver who died during a crash at the 2001 Daytona 500.
