 | | He finished second to Dale Earnhardt Inc. teammate Michael Waltrip in that fateful 2001 race and was favored the next year, but got caught up in a big crash and wound up 29th. |
 | | Instead, 180,000 people celebrated with the jubilant Dale Jr., roaring their approval as he slowly rolled to a stop at the finish line, popped out of the car, punching the air with his fists, then leaped into the arms of his crew who dashed across the infield grass to be part of the moment. |
