Default Dale Earnhardt wins Daytona 500!

https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nasca...044050450.html

I'm shocked I didn't see a story on this yet... I was reading here and he was being interviewed on the news so I looked and saw nothing...

The most popular NASCAR driver wins the biggest NASCAR race there is and it isn't mentioned here? WOW!

Congratulations Dale, on your 2nd Daytona 500 win! Dad would be proud.

I was watching the race. I was on the edge of my seat. I have seen so many last lap passes but he drove a very smart race and had a strong ride.

Assume race!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go JR!!!!!!!!

This race was the most ODDBALL 500 I've seen in awhile. I only watched AFTER the rain delay, but those racers were ON A MISSION! Seriously, they must've had something ticking once it got dark out. It led to a few ugly crashes, but it seemed ALL the drivers were being aggressive... #4 caused the wreck that got me... Took out Danica! It looked 100% purposely done to me, but NASCAR is so fast that a car can swerve out of control at any time and it could be for any of several reasons, so it is what it is.

Jr. was ECSTATIC! I haven't seen him this amp'd in years... Not even his 1st win was this special to him.

That race was one of the most exciting races I have watched in awhile. The style of racing was different with the leader (in this case being Dale Jr.) could bounce from the top to the bottom of the track with ease and hold off whoever was behind him. At the end of the day he just had the best car out there and no one was going to stop him.

Watching Hamlin with no spotter makes me wish they'd ban radios the last 2 laps on plate tracks.

Seemed to be a lot ballsier without a second set of eyes, and that bump Gordon gave little E helped keep him out front.

Good to see the 3 car back out there on track and Dale Jr in victory lane. If the 500 was any indication this will be an exciting year to watch.

Was a fun race. They had weather moving back towards the area after th restart. Nobody wanted to fall back and have it rain, so the intensity was way up.

*Wonders where all the NASCAR suck jackasses are *

They replayed the 2013 race during the rain delay. There was a scroll along the bottom of the screen pretty much the whole time that said as much.
