Dale Jr. drives No. 3 to Victory Lane | 2010 Subway Jalapeno 250 | NASCAR Classic Full Race Replay

Was there in person, my mom and I went to celebrate my 22nd birthday a few weeks early. Last race we were able to go to before she lost her battle with cancer. So glad we got to see the 3 win one more time.

Any time an Earnhardt was leading the crowds went wild. Saw/heard it several times at different tracks. If you were at a track during qualifying or practice people were loud.

My mother passed away when I was 6 years old. My father was at the Daytona 500 in 2001, sitting in turn 4. I’ve always been a huge earnheart fan, but after dale won this race I cried my eyes out. My father saw, and said, “boy, you didn’t cry when you’re mom died, but you cried when dale won at Daytona”

[@BarryJowers]

NASCAR at Daytona under the lights on the 4th of July weekend was perfect. Wish they would bring the that weekends race back to Daytona.

[@lockerracing7121]

Arguably a throwback to an earlier era of restrictor plate racing, like the early 90s. Cars were a bit more spaced out, and didn't require as much help to pass your competitors

I cried like a baby when I watch the race on tv then and did it again now! Very emotional race!

[@TonyM132]

I was at this race with my then-fiance. As a big Earnhardt fan, I was so excited that the #3 went to victory lane while I was there, with an Earnhardt behind the wheel no less. Bittersweet memories of both.

“Umm... Man, y’know we lost everything here. And to come back with that number and do this... That means everything” I’m not crying, you’re crying...

[@Jake_Broer]

I was at my grandfather's motorhome at Cape Cod watching this. I didn't know at the time how important it was, other than Dale drove his father's number. How fitting is it that he does it in one of Sr.'s most iconic schemes, while hearing his father was/would be inducted into the hall of fame. Just incredible. Haven't watched much NASCAR recently, but watching this brought back some of that good old fashioned serotonin that I needed.

[@kenbaker8868]

My favorite driver is Dale Jr.! He’s a great driver and I know his Dad would be proud of him!

I was there I drove 1200 miles to see this. What a moment it was.

[@Stellarhippo]

Maybe it can be said for Stenhouse, but I think if Joey had enough of a run, he would have taken it. I mean, the guy moved Mark Martin, his mentor, at Pocono cause he couldn't be bothered to race him clean. The guy has no morals on the track.

The I seriously think Dale Sr was more aggressive in the Wrangler car now don’t get me wrong he was still aggressive in the black car but I think a lot of drivers got out of his way later in his career. I just remember the run ins with Bodine DW Bill Elliott Tim Richmond and numerous others. It was like he was staking his claim during those years.
