Jr. gives his fans a long-awaited win
Dale Earnhardt Jr. gambled on fuel and took home the win in a green-white-checkered finish. Other than the finish, it was a rather boring race with long green flag runs and it came down to fuel mileage in the end.
I'm sure the win makes the Jr. fans happy, although I thought Vickers had the strongest car out there, but not good on fuel mileage. I thought maybe when the last caution came out that Vickers had a chance with the two cars in front of him gambling on fuel (Jr. and Kahne), but somehow they put the #8 of Mark Martin in front of Vickers even though he had already passed him way before the caution came out, if they didn't move behind Martin, they were going to black flag Vickers. I just didn't understand that and Vickers wasn't too pleased about it either, thinking that killed his chances at the win when Martin ran out of fuel on the restart. I'd love to see NASCAR's explanation on that one. Still, it was a good finish for Vickers, but it could have possibly been a lot better.
Congrats to Jr. and his fans, also to Kahne and his fans, looks like he's got some good momentum going for a change and maybe his bad luck days are over.
Your thoughts?
