Can you say Jr.???? If you watched todays race you saw an old Earnhardt win just like his dad did.. He was very emotional after the race,but who wouldnt after todays race.

6 wins in 31 starts at Dega ,tied for second most active driver and 11 wins in those 31 starts for 38.7 % shows he is a great driver...He really seems to like the new crew chief.. The debris on the grill had me wondering if he would make it...

Looked like a Steam engine on the cool down lap.. maybe that was what helped him to the win. But he was one happy camper after the win..

Yep, it was cooking at the end. Hats off, too, to Ryan Blaney in the #21. Great run for a rookie.

I think it sure helped being brought up by Dave Blaney who was super laid back & very smart.. Then to hook up with Leonard Wood and get a great car that the kid drove the wheels off. My hats off to him..

Junior did not do a burn-out, either. Old school Kulwicki Polish victory lap with the flat. Class act.

Very proud of Dale Jr. for winning that one! You could see how much it meant to him. Honestly, he's got to be one of the top three best restrictor-plate drivers ever now.
