I still think Justin Haley is the closest thing we have to a Mickey Mouse. How many times did he win bc the top 2 cars wrecked each other. And let's not forget his cup 'win', where a premature one-to-go and an assist from Zeus gave him the checkered flag. I have nothing against him, but his successes seem to be mostly luck, while the times he actually runs well ending in bad luck.

He earned those wins fair and square. Just because he wasn’t the perfect athlete doesn’t mean he’s a Mickey Mouse. You shouldn’t disparage a guy because he’s running his granddad’s legendary numbers and not winning like the past.

The 2018 Daytona 500 was ALSO 17 years to the day of Dale's death. It was also the last Nascar race I've been to in person. Went to Darlington after that, but not for the race because it had been raining and the track worker told everyone that the race had been postponed. Stupidly, it finished that night, so my dad and I were robbed out of the already-bought tickets. Still, that makes it ineligible for my last Nascar race, so to the 2018 Daytona 500 that award goes.

While i do believe he's the middest driver of the field, sure some of his wins aren't truly deserved but he definitely has what it takes and deserves his spot in the Cup Series. Hopefully he'll go out and be the class of the field again.
