Michael Waltrip is 2nd but it’s going to be Dale Earnhardt Jr! Using lessons learned from his father to go from 6th to 1st and score the victory in the Pepsi 400!
I remember it like it was yesterday! And I still cry. I loved Sr. Watched the race he passed in. This race here was such an emotional night. This was when Nascar was still great. Now they have stages and playoffs.
I think Wally just sort of knew to take a back seat to the both of Allen and Benny (or he just wanted to watch like all of us) so for me, him barely saying much still meant a lot. He was allowing those two to spotlight it while letting the pictures tell the story
Junior had to fight off paint schemes of Velociraptors(Bobby Labonte), A winged horse(Jeremy Mayfield), A T-Rex(Tony Stewart) to get to the front in victory lane.
