Coca-Cola 600

He was soo close!! Dale Jr started 25th andhad a great race car all night. Stevie made all the right calls and Dale was in position to win and had the lead right at the end, but ran out of fuel 500 ft before the checkered flag. Although it was a huge let down for JR Nation, it shows that a win is in sight and we'll be there to go nuts for Dale when it happens.

Here's a few quotes from Dale after the race last night.

He was as happy with his effort, maybe happier, than the winner nicknamed "Happy" was with his. "To be honest, I know there is disappointment about coming so close" Earnhardt said after maintaining his spot at fourth in points.

"But our fans should be real happy with how we're performing. We've definitely improved things. We want to keep getting better and better."

"Think about it, man, winning the 600. That would be awesome. I think I had to try ... had to try."

Even winner Kevin Harvick knows how badly Dale Jr wants to win and made this comment about it -

“ I feel so stinking bad for him. "I know how bad he wants it. It'll happen. If they keep running like that it'll happen." ” -- Kevin Harvick on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s winless streak Earnhardt didn't look nervous on the restart, jumping to a big lead.

Next weekend is Kansas.
