How did Dale Jr get through that mess?

Watching the race can,t believe Jr got around that. Usually he gets jammed in all the big ones at the end of the restrictor plate races.

His team has been coming on now for a few weeks. He's gonna be a force to reckon with the rest of the way IMO.

He didn't seem to think they had a very good car all night and just got lucky he finished where he did. They'd better turn their skill around and not rely on luck.

It has a lot more to do with the communication and chemistry between Dale and his crew chief. They are finally starting to mesh. The skill is there. His confidence is gaining momentum with each race. He and his crew chief are starting to click. Plays a HUGE part in being successful.

As long as a Chevy is winning it's ALL good. If they can't, anything but a Toyota.

I don't know, it seems like he's been lucky driving through quite a few wrecks lately. Every time there was a wreck last night he moved up 4 spots, lol

Jeff Gordon was right next to the #12 when that craziness went down, he had to go below the line and then avoided Kenseth sliding up ahead of him. Yikes!

Great race last night!!!...

Jeff Gordon and Dale Jr had great finishes, considering at least half the field was in the garage by the end of the race...

Hopefullly they have turned the corner. Nice to see him have some "good luck" even if it is just luck. Aren't we glad he drives a Chevy
