I think Mike was well deserving of it, considering he never got to truly celebrate when he won the 2001 Daytona 500 for obvious reasons

DW Sure Loves Mikey!!!!!

@kyleboy48 what? He kissed his wife?

"You don't know what Daytona means!" wait.....didn't Al Unser Jr. say the same thing about Indy in 1993?!

@LostHighwayFilms Now if only the Busch brothers could be like this, and a lot less whiney.

@ilovetogofast88 I feel the same way. Like him or not, Michael deserved a win in the race that he never got to truely celebrate. R.I.P. Dale.

when i watched this race, i was pissed that it'll rain for the rest of the night, however i was happy that michael waltrip won because his 2001 win was overshadowed by dale sr.'s death.

@NLHSbok1994: Between Daytona 500 2001 & Talladega fall 2004 (16 races), DEI drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr. & Michael Waltrip won 11 out of 16 restrictor plate races (Dale Jr. won 7, Mikey won 4, Jeff Gordon won 2, Ward Burton, Bobby Hamilton & Greg Biffle won 1)!!!

Now that's impressive!!!

Also, they won 5 straight at Talladega!!!

[NLHSbok1994]

@MrDalejrfan1 Only four wins in the 500 for DEI/EGR. 01 and 03 for Michael, 04 for Jr., and 10 with McMurray. Earnhardt was with RCR when he won his 500 but i agree, i would count that. Still only 5 though.

I love DW and Michaels relationship to each other

great brotherhood!

Mother Nature can be such a bitch sometimes. She ruined what would have been a great second half and finish.
