Way to Go, Jr!

Finally......after 76 winless races, Dale, Jr. won today in Michigan. I have been waiting and watching, cheering him on each and every race. Today, he was in victory lane. Jr. Nation is basking in the victory.

He ran out of fuel just as he crossed the finish line, his crew pushed him and the 88 car to victory lane. Since the win was a team effort, I thought it was an appropriate way for Jr. and his crew to celebrate.

The fans in the stands were roaring. It didn't appear that anyone was leaving the track. Guess everyone wanted to linger and help celebrate his victory.

So, he breaks his winless streak on Father's Day. Wonder if his daddy was his drafting partner and giving him a little push today?

After the past couple years, it was good to see him so happy.

On to the Championship! Way to go, Jr.!
