across the line behind Walter being like June Jeremy Mayfield an outside pole sitter Stacy Compton Joe Nemechek on believe laughs now Earnhardt and Schrader did not complete the final lap so they're scored at 199 laughs along with Robert Pressley Brett Bodine Kyle Petty and on back through the rest of the field these results are unofficial in most of these cars worse in back here was involved in that big 17 car wreck there with about 25 laps to go as excited as I am for Michael it was proud as I am of him I just I'm praying for Dale he's back down there and they're still working down there so we need to worry about him from Michael Waltrip's onboard camera let's look at that final lap hey baby you a your day some Joyce my Osaka come off oh baby come on come on Oh that's Buffy and we'll be right back to Daytona with more after this you're watching NASCAR on Fox bleh the Pep Boys 80th anniversary instant windgap michael has won the Daytona 500 Chevy congratulates Michael and the number 15 Monte Carlo on its big win today and he'll tell you the only thing that comes close to Monte Carlos reputation on the track is its reputation on the street Monte Carlo more champions depend on Chevy will be due ken schrader climbed from his car after that turn three crash Dale Earnhardt was removed from his car and you see the ambulance transporting him directly to Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach which fortunately is but two miles from the Speedway that's all the news we have if we don't get a further update on our hearts condition during our telecast tune into Victory Lane at 9 p.m. on Fox Sports Net tonight Darrell looked like when rusty run up there through the middle it maybe just took the air off Dale's four and got him loose I don't think anybody got you know to him at all totally may have gotten into him just a teeny bit and got him he'll hard to say where's the onboard view those kind of licks or the worst kind their sudden right inside detail the freighter was riding wall so you get not only one car but two cars looks like right baby right there woman did getting early got into it and here he goes and man he's been not only is he going into the wall but he's got straighter riding in there with him him and look at it didn't take another six cars with them yeah but that's it I don't like that it's a not the kind of crash that's the kind of crash that hurt you jeanny it's just someone runs into someone for no reason that's all I mean that's you know the rules are fantastic they've really got a good rules package Kenny let me ask you I know you've been throwing this question several times and you're just getting out of the care center but you made your way over to Dale's situation what's going on there oh I I don't really know I'm not a doctor I mean I I got the heck out of the way as soon as they got there and how about yourself how are you I'm fine I'm fine just thinking about Dale him guys can you take us through that that's fine I don't know what happened all of a sudden we was all crashing it was started behind me but I got it I got part of it thanks for this I was thinking after seeing what happened today ken schrader was headed for perhaps a top-five finish wrapped up with Dale Earnhardt in the turn three wall while Earnhardt's driver Michael Waltrip celebrates Dale Earnhardt rides the back of an ambulance to the Halifax Medical Center it's the irony of Daytona it is it's the emotions of this sport it's what we always fear that big wreck we had is what we fear that wasn't is bad those cars tumbling around like that as bad as that looked they're losing energy parts flying off of them they're coming to a stop but that sudden stop hit on into the wall that's a drivers worst nightmare next week NASCAR on Fox continues at Rockingham North Carolina you'll see qualifying on Fox Sports Net Saturday the Busch Series race and NASCAR final practice on SF now next Sunday NASCAR this morning on Fox Sports Net the Winston Cup race here on Fox and NASCAR Victory Lane every Sunday night on Fox Sports Net tonight on Fox Futurama followed by king of the hill The Simpsons with kelsey grammer malcolm in the middle' and the x-file that's the primetime lineup tonight on Fox let's go back down to the studio Chris Myers all right it's the kind of day that a motion picture could certainly cover here Michael Waltrip becomes the sixth driver in history to have his first victory the Daytona 500 462 races without a win and comes away with the victory Jeff a a dramatic day for Michael world very dramatic night you know my heart goes out to Dale Earnhardt he and I've been a good friends for a long time and I'm really hoping their lens can be right for him my congratulations to Michael my pick way to go buddy way to go I'm really proud of you Kim we can't say enough about what we saw today yeah a couple of thoughts as we get down to the end of today William Manchester has written that true heroism is is not based on a single incident but is built on courage and commitment in the face of the unknown and potential danger over time a term of career heroes are those who are laboring - they're calling civilian Manchester so we've seen a winner today a young hero named michael waltrip in his 460 third start and once said no one owes me anything in this sport I've been close I've been competitive so I'm proud of these things I love driving these cars and I want to do it for a long time to come the voice of the hero and the interesting thing is these heroes are not only today but they are for Rockingham next week and Las Vegas the week after that is the mark of a true race and a true hero
