This was Dale Earnhardt Jr's final win with Dale Earnhardt Inc.The poor way the crew swap was handled stunted the team's momentum and if they had kept things they way that had been, Dale Jr. probably would be a champion and not have to even bother going to Hendrick.
I was at turn 3 at that race, what a night it was. Not because JR won but cars crashed right where I was and in the air was tire debris and smoke and my then gf was pissed because it was too cold for her lol.
@@mattthacker4122 Jr was running low on fuel with 2 laps to go in a green white checkered he ran out of fuel just as the race ended. If there wasnt a Green White Checkered he wouldve ran out of fuel before winning the race

True, there was no one around to talk jr and the eurys out of the swap but that killed DEI

I wish I could've felt the vibe that night. Especially when Jr was doing his burnout in front of all the fans on the front stretch.
I was there in turn 1. It was awesome
Also Junior's last non-Michigan win until the 2014 Daytona 500.
Anyone 2020 during covid19 pandemic still remembering Kazuto kirigaya's last ever win with DEI?
This was Denny Hamlin's breakout race in the same way Rockingham '04 was for Kasey Kahne.
