Dale Snr. Would've been very proud. It's hard to live in the shadow of a great late Dad. Congrats, Dale Jr!! Hope there will be more.

Dale jr. raced his heart and soul out on that track! He was determined to win. I'm sure his dads spirit was out on that track with him. Best speech by Dale at end~  :)

Every week we hear (& Junior hears) how he'll never be his Daddy. Today he achieved something even his Dad never did. #TwoTime500Winner

For those who like to keep track of this sort of thing -- and many do -- it's been 0 weeks since @DaleJr last won a race....

This race is very special to me. I didn't watch Jr's 04 Daytona 500 win as I was so young. I always wanted to see my favorite guy win the 500. Before speedweeks my Grandma moved in with us as her health was heading down. This was the first race I watched with her, and it happened to be the race Jr would win. And it happened to be the biggest race in North America. As a 14 yr old die hard Dale fan I remember screaming and crying as he won and the image of when I looked up at the TV screen and seen "Dale Earnhardt Jr 2014 Daytona 500 Winner" is locked in my mind. That day was so special to me, I cherish it forever. After a couple months she passed, it was truly meant to be and I miss her so much God Bless you Mawmaw and thank you God for that amazing day that still makes me cry. ❤️❤️🙏🏻 - Garrett
