Dale Earnhardt Jr #3 win at Daytona (2010) 

You can tell when Dale Jr. said, " I just want everyone to be happy" , he's been through so much. What a good heart.

I love that he used the 3 once, not only won but won Daytona and said that’s it. Mission accomplished 3🖤

The old man was with him that night you could tell =)

dale jr is a class act he really cares about his family and co workers he puts people before himself, consider me a fan!

Coolest race I’ve ever seen in person. Was my first night race too. I was about 10 years old and can remember the whole crowd holding out 3 fingers the last few laps. Crazy night

I love the honesty at the end "What'd you see at the end when you looked at the crowd?" "I couldn't really see much, a lot of sweat." Good win Jr

Dad was proud that day, Dale Earnhardt Sr is a legend and always will be a legend💯

A Dale Earnhardt Jr. moment that brought a tear to the eye of millions of fans all around the world.

I love that he won in his daddies blue and yellow throwback scheme

Now that is who should be driving that car!

Rest in peace dale sr he will always race beside his son and be with his family and fans

Jr will retire after 2017. Thanks for the memories!

I was there when he won this race and let me tell you. There wasn't one person not rooting for him on that night. Great moment in sports

This video made me tear up so many times. R.I.P Dale St.

I love the Goodwrench car but that Wrangler car is slick

You can never go wrong being a fan of a guy like Dale Jr. always putting others before himself humble and down to earth...........

I remember me and my parents watching this race and crying, and none of us watched NASCAR until 2007.

AB called Jr's '01 Pepsi 400 win & it was ironically cool he called this race.

I personally love seeing the #3 back on the track in some form. I don't care who is driving it. If Dale Jr. doesn't want to drive it because he can't handle the memories then he shouldn't have to, but I still love seeing the 3 because Dale Earnhardt was my uncle's favorite driver of all time. He had everything Earnhardt Sr. and even left me his #3 coat when he passed away last year. So every time I watch NASCAR and see the #3 on the track, whether it's Jr. or Dillon, I am reminded of days I'd watch it with him, and I LOVE it every time.

You are not just lucky, Dale. You earned all the things!

I watched this live cause I wanted to see him race that car, there were some people who said NASCAR scripted this race to give Jr the win to give everyone comfort. Honestly I don't think so, I think people forget that the whole Earnhardt family is very talented at superspeedways and they can see the draft and they have a lot of success at these races. When I watched this race I was hoping he wouldn't wreak, I wanted to see him at least finish, cause the last thought I had of the #3 at Daytona was a crash, so I wanted it to end with a finish. When he won I was all emotional. It was nice to see

One of the brilliant victory in Nascar history. I miss Dale Sr.

Imagine this as a rushed interview on the start finish line before cutting over to soccer. Bring back victory lane interviews!

This will always be my favorite Jr win, so cool to watch live

Can you imagine what it would have felt like to win in your late father’s car. I can’t imagine. Love this team. Love this driver. AD does good in the 3 too. He’s no Earnhardt but Earnhardt would be proud of him too.

This guy deserves the number not that Dillon kid

I was there I about tackled my buddy down the stairs but this was special I grew up idolizing Dale Earnhardt and am a huge Jr fan and will miss seeing him full time and I'm just happy that I have Harvick to cheer on next year and this year as well

No one to do it better than the Earnhardt’s

Imagine what jr had to carry on his shoulders,his dads fans, he sums it up when he says hell I just want everyone to be happy. What a class act.

“No, we don’t have any plans to bring the 3 back after this”-Richard 2010 We’ve been bamboozled

I can still vividly remember watching this race live on Direct TV, screaming at the top of my lungs at how close a few times they came to pass him, I was on edge until the checkered flag waved.

I was at this race with my dad and uncle and they boath had tears rolling

Imagine the heat a driver would get if they won that race with that legendary number on the Track.

He has always been such a good person. His daddy did well raising respectful kids.

I don't think this race was rigged, if NASCAR was rigging races Dale Jr. would have obviously won a ton more races. Remember the car Jr. drove at Dega with a paint scheme similar of Sr.'s #3, he didn't win. But also I don't think the drivers behind him tried their absolute best either. Because if they did, they would have committed career suicide. No sponsors would have picked up a driver that the fans unanimously hated.

Man he's literally put so much pressure on himself his entire career, he's gonna be missed

Dale jr and Jeffery should be the only ones to ride to #3

This Video is pretty emotional. R.I.P Dale Earnhardt Sr. And great job to jr, an amazing generation of the Earnhardt Family

This is the first video to move me to tears, thank you.

Great job Dale Earnhardt Jr. I'm proud of you! Your dad would be very proud of you! We are going to miss you!

Ten years later. Dale Jr is a NASCAR Hall Of Famer.

What a wonderful moment!!!

well ill be damned.... for ever a fan of this dude

God bless you Dale Jr!

He and his dad will be legends. No questions.

Sr would be proud of how jr raced that night but the smile that stays on his face is the type of man jr became, rip sr and live on jr

even if your not a earnhardt fan, everyone has major respect for Jr. he's just a good man and a true sportsman.

Jr has a huge Hart we're all proud of you. I remember that race not a dry eye in the room

Man I remember I was there in the stands when I was young...dude, I cheered so loud when he won.

I fell asleep while watching this race, my mom wrote me a note on the whiteboard in my kitchen. I cried. I cry everytime I watch it

Watching this replay it's always awesome seeing Jr win in the 3 car but I miss Dodge being in the sport and those Challengers they ran in the Busch series

My favorite car, looks wise. Man, that things beautiful!!!

Ever time Jr. Is leading at Daytona that black number 3 is pushing him to the win. R.I.P Sr.

Polish victory lap there at the end just made it better

Poetic.

If this is Juniors last win in the Nationwide Series, it'd be a hell of a way to go out. Remember this race...and me crying afterwords...haha.

Awesome win and the wrangler car so many feelings

Dale senior with the greatest of all time but Junior was my favorite driver too bad he retired

That 88, being behind Jr, was crazy.

Jr made a name for himself in the 8. Him driving the 3 is nothing new to me. He drove the no.3 ac delco chevy in the busch series in the late 90's. What a way to honor his Father tho. We miss you Dale!!

I am a Dale Earnhardt jr fan

I was watching that race in 2010 and I was cheering on for dale Earnhardt jr

This race and the 2011 Daytona truck race you know dale sr was looking down with the biggest smile

Hearing the, “you got it man” on the 4th turn was them hoping it wasn’t gonna happen again

What a great tribute for his Dad and to come out with a win!

You made your old man proud Jr. #3 is back and you helped it win the race.

What a great race that was!

I know that Sr is proud of his son win or lose

I’m pretty sure this was the first race I ever watched. I don’t really remember it, but I remember Dale winning, and thinking it was Dale Sr out there winning the race. I guess part of him was there.

I do have to say this was a very good race for me only because this is a great tribute for dale jrs dad

That’s one badass car !! I’ve seen the 3 car win many times live… But that car is just badass. The die cast is one of my favorites…

Kinda funny that people are complaining about the Dillon brothers driving number 3 cars on the track because it's ruining Earnhardt's legacy, but they fail to realize that Richard Childress drove it long before Dale. It's Richards number, not Dale's. They had a talk about a year or two before Dale died about who would drive the 3 car should Dale pass, they both agreed to keep it within the family of Dale or Richard should Jr not race the 3, which he didn't. Jr is driving the 88, which in my opinion is even more iconic because his grandad drove the 8, which inspired Dale Sr to drive, and then inspired all of Sr's sons to drive. Just be glad nobody is ruining the 8 car because if it wasn't for Ralph, daddy's boy Jr would never even be in NASCAR.

3... A number above all... Except an owners grandson.

Man it would've been tough being one of his kids. Him and Dale Jr I think we're for the first time in their lives starting to get along and have a good relationship a year or so before Dale Sr's accident..

You know what I like dale earnhardt jr,has the same sponsor of dale sr in this race

Keep this in mind as well, back in 2002, Dale Earnhardt Jr also won in the 3 RCR car in the 1st Nationwide Series race following Dale Earnhardt Sr's death at Daytona. (In 2001 there was just the February Daytona race) I think he also ran the 3 car at Charlotte later that year but crashed.

The #3 will always be Earnhardt Sr.'s number always but seeing other drivers continue his legacy by racing #3 probably is making him very happy. :)

I rip dale he will allwas be beside his son when he is racing

I was at this race and l remember the announcer saying "I suspect in the future a lot more people will claim to have been present for this than there actually are." Glad I got to see Dale Jr. Win in the 3 in person.

The quality on this is great

HE'S BACK

As a die hard Earnhardt fan, i never knew this happened. I have tonsay i qquit watching when they introduced the "COT" car. Pretty badass👍

I remember that day like it was yesterday, goosebumps are sticking out, and the nostalgic value of this is priceless.

We all needed this win junior thank you😭😭😭

I remember this day bro. I was track side for that interview bro. Dale Jr is cool bro.

Gives me goosebumps every time I watch this

he won that race on my birthday

Hell yeah JR that car looks damn good !

Dale Earnhardt Jr. 3#. What yes

I was there that day. Very good race!

And 12 years later Jeffery Earnhardt almost did the same at Talladega in the 3 car

His old man would say to him "only you should drive the #3" and I tell you what his dad was in the passenger seat that night

I'm a grown ass man who's watched racing for 34 years, and I still cry every time I see this

yes thay did and i am happy that thay did and it looks like his dads sperit is still at the track

I cried during this race .. I cried again

Congratulations to Dale Earnhardt Jr. For winning martinsville. Good job Dale😓

Dale sr. Was with junior that night saying go get them boy

This is a strong story defiantly if you ever have seen Earnhardt sr race

Crazy how, this happened 10 years ago already. Some of the words richard said kinda bit him in the ass lol they brought the 3 back in the xfinity and cup series in the respective years.

That “daddy” comment 😢
