Dale Earnhardt Jr. Wins Daytona 500 (2014) NASCAR 🏁

Dale Earnhardt Jr. survived the longest rain delay in Daytona 500 history and a spate of accidents to score a win at Daytona International Speedway and capture NASCAR's biggest race.
Second was Denny Hamlin, followed by Jeff Gordon and Brad Keselowski.
The race was rain delayed for more than 6 hours after heavy thunderstorms and a tornado warning hit the Central Florida area mid-afternoon.
Early on, things looked good.
Rookie Austin Dillon started from the pole in the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, the first appearance for that car number in a NASCAR Sprint Cup race since the death of Dale Earnhardt here in 2001.

@@lskiller1903 Yea and he also won 5 out of the 7 races at Talladega between fall 2001 and fall 2004, the 2 races he didn't win, he finished 2nd. That's something even Dale Sr. never did. Junior won 9 superspeedway races over 18 seasons to Senior's 13 superspeedway wins over 22 seasons. You also have to take into consideration that the era Junior raced in had much tougher competition. He was just as good on superspeedways, I never said anything about short tracks or speedways.
