DALE JR WINS IN THE #3 WRANGLER CHEVY AT DAYTONA!!!
 

What an exciting and emotional win tonight at Daytona when Dale Jr took the #3 Wrangler Chevy into Victory Lane in the car that was a tribute to his late dad...:clap: :clap: :clap:

I bet Jr had a very special angel riding shotgun with him in the #3 car!!!...:cool:

I bet there wasn't a dry eye in the house...:rolleyes:

I was crying tears of joy :cry: and tears of sadness :cry: that his dad wasn't standing next to him in victory lane, however I know Sr was smiling down on him from a front row seat in heaven...:popcorn:

Congrats Jr!!!...Way 2 Go!!!...:thumbup: :thumbsup: :drinking:

Awesome way for Junior to honor his dad.

Yes it was!!!...I was standing in the middle of my living room clapping and jumping for joy like a little kid when Jr won!!!...

I'm not even much of an Earnhardt Jr. fan (always a fan of his Dad) but when I saw that he was going to drive his father's car, there was no way I would miss the race.

When he won, I jumped up and down like Dale Sr. himself had just won the Daytona 500 all over again. My dad thought I had went crazy.

But since this thread is Jr. winning in his dad's car... I have to put my favorite quote by The Intimidator himself...

2001 Daytona 500 after qualifying, interview with Jr. and Sr. -- Dale Sr. ", You know, We may have the same name, but I don't want to be known as Senior... it makes me feel like an old man."
