I will be completely honest with you on this one. When I saw that Dale Jr. won in the #3, I cried tears of joy. Like many, many others, I am a Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Jr. fan. This was a race I will never forget, for many reasons. First off, the #3 came back for one more night and won! As I watched this amazing victory, I couldn't help, but think that Dale Sr. was in the driver's seat, right there with his son Dale Jr. This race also brought back memories of the 7-Time NASCAR Champion's victory in the 1998 Daytona 500! I really thought it was cool how all the Earnhardt fans raised the #3 in honor of Dale Sr. as Dale Jr. took the checkers!!! I just want to give a shout out to all the Dale Sr. and Jr. fans out there!!! This was one hell of a win!!!
Finishing second after Dale Jr. was Joey Logano. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. picked up a third place finish, while fourth belonged to Brad Keselowski. Kevin Harvick came home fifth, while Clint Bowyer took sixth. Finishing seventh was Kyle Busch, while South Bend, IN. native Ryan Newman ended his night in eighth. Brian Ickler raced his way to a nineth place showing, while Steve Arpin rounded out the top ten finishers in Friday night's Japaleno 250 at Daytona.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series returns to action tonight. You can catch the Coke Zero 400 Powered By Coca-Cola on TNT (or your local racing channel). All the action kicks off at 7:30 PM tonight from Daytona. After another exciting race, it's off to Chicagoland Speedway for the Nationwide racers.
