NTSB releases preliminary report on Dale Earnhardt Jr. plane crash

Interesting, it says the pilots attempted a go-around after the second bounce, but the plane didn't respond properly. Wonder what that means. The third contact on the runway left them with only 1,000 ft of runway left. I'm not an expert, but it sounds like they came in too fast and/or too high.

Clear weather, no wind, cloud ceiling at 4,500 ft.
