Dale Earnhardt Jr. Wins Daytona 500 (2014) NASCAR 🏁

I would say it's too tidy to get that piece of trash hurry up yep it might help you know if it doesn't know yeah hey guys this could be an advantage he's only got to run three laps that's gonna make his car more slippery aerodynamically he's in the front this could help him a little bit yeah it's not went over heating three laps I don't believe now I don't either no I'll tell you I'm thinking right Mike I think it'll help him well especially with him being out front and getting some air into that grille but yeah the more you can block that up the faster it's gonna run down the straightaway so I I wouldn't even worry about that I don't know if I'd even told him about it well you know what I did what are you gonna do about it you can't pee it now most of what you see in black on the front of that car is not grill opening the grill opening is a narrow slit within the grill area and it has hardware cloth or mesh right in it so pretty narrow is the amount of 'l opening to the radiator there and from what i can see that bear bond is not covering it very much so let's set the field for you as they come around to two laps to go Dale Earnhardt jr. trying to win the Daytona 500 yet again Brad Keselowski for Roger Penske trying to give the captain his second victory and remember it was Dale jr. who gave Keselowski his big break to drive juniors car in the Nationwide Series now right behind them Jeff Gordon the 24 Kyle Busch in the 18 coming from one lap down Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin Jimmie Johnson and Ricky Stenhouse Matt Kenseth and Kevin Harvick are the top ten and that wins this year count more than ever you win it you might be in the chase it might be the win you need and it's a chance get one right here Kelly our narc Miller Dale junior sister looking on and here we go green flag two laps Dale Earnhardt jr. gets that restart box and he is gone yeah that car is gay I mean it takes off now he definitely doesn't want to get too far out we know that's not good and he is making a pretty good gap here here cogs the two Brad Keselowski on the outside got a little bit of help from behind gaining on the leader junior comes up to cover Jeff Gordon now leading the inside row unless Keselowski or bush or Denny Hamlin in the 11 drops down it's Hamlin what a move by Hamlin now if we get back to the white flag we have a race look at Stenhouse not 17 in the middle back and forth it may just shove Kyle Busch right out of the way Ricky Stenhouse in the 17th to third place white flag with Stenhouse in position to challenge in that blue for you know what Larry I believe that tapes going to stay on there that baby's going to come home a winner Denny Hamlin has not lost a race this week he's number 11 Keselowski the 2012 champ battling back to the top and Dale Earnhardt jr. the Pied Piper of Daytona trying to hold them all at bay and Kyle Busch is trying to make a third line at the top of the race here they come now this is where it gets interesting we've seen a lot of passes off turn four the start/finish line but that 88 is pull annoying less than a mile to go we got ranked third generation star Dale Earnhardt jr. brings a new look a checkered flag waving it's over good job junebug whoa reed sorenson x' race ends up in a crash Harvick into the wall past the end of pit road and Carl Edwards 99 all torn up Kyle Busch backwards across the start/finish line factor across now the caution flag waved before Earnhardt took the checkered flag officially the race ends under yellow NASCAR will review all photographic and video evidence it'll be a while before we have an order of finish Reed Sorenson is okay Carl Edwards moving around in his car the Pied Piper leads them around for the final I mean how can you take some bad luck get something on your grill with three laps to go a piece of tape you couldn't come down pit road and put a piece of tape on there and do any better black number-3 return to daytona this week that big piece of black tape I can't believe in America remember in the offseason his crew chief Steve Letarte said to Dale jr. this is our final season together let's make it memorable they already had I can't be watching it right now Steve Letarte his crew chief a champion of a Daytona 500 I've said and I've set it off set it those two guys are going to do a lot of good things this year together because they they know what it means but Dale Earnhardt jr. has gone winless in four of the last five years we'll be able to say that about 2014 or keep counting his runner-up finishes in the 500 that 88 car lane that thing could get out front and he could just go from one side to the other I mean he was just had a fast car at the end of the day leave Dale Earnhardt jr. has got a little celebration playing here see what he's going to do not a whole lot he can do right now the whole front straightaway is full of wrecked cars he is saluting the fans all the way down the front stretch reminiscent of when Alan Kulwicki won his first Cup race and did a self-styled as Kauai County College victory lap it's the wrong way around but it puts your face right in front of the fans where he can look him in the eye and hear them cheer you know what I love I mean to see Dale jr. that excited to see him just pumped man about winning that race and he should be but look at him it's like a little kid in there joy never miss any of that pumped up no I haven't either Larry it's just so good look at him he's gonna jump out of that thing hung up on the side of the door there in a minute like a daddy used to do he's about to be a 40 year old little kid but guess there's a little kid in all of us Jarrell especially when you win the 500 I never think about him being old I still think your body being junebug eleven times NASCAR's most popular driver and that is voted by the fans and Al jr. captures the flag at the start/finish line victory Li lei you're going to have some kind of celebration back at the O Hendrick Motorsports shop probably over at whiskey river have a little a special night or something this could be big and Phoenix better put more grants to hee ha car owner Rick Hendrick headed for victory lane yet again he won last year with Jimmie Johnson wins this year Dale Earnhardt jr. on the way to the finish we knew it would be a wild one and here it is Harvick up into Kyle Busch and Jamie McMurray and Reed Sorenson push around makes further contact cars pileup and more on the way that's why the caution waves with the checker and it's Dale Earnhardt jr. capturing the Daytona 500 there's his symmetry brother Lyle W Miller and crew chief Steve Letarte with the biggest fist bump of all aside from this one they won yesterday they won today you
