Goody's Fast Relief 500

He was sooooo close!!!!!! Dale said he didn't have a race winning car, but he sure came close to winning the race today. After starting 26th, Junior made his way up into the teens, and after a two tire stop called by Steve, was boosted into the top 5. He stayed in the top 10 for the majority of the race, and took the lead with 20 laps to go. Kevin Harvick caught him with 5 laps to go and Dale wasn't able to close and pass him back. Dale finished 2nd and moved up to 8th in the standings.

I know Dale was not happy with his finish, but with this being the best finish he's had this season, I'm proud of how he raced today, and of how well he's meshing with Steve. Next week it's on to Texas!!
