Jr. Finally Wins

Last Sunday as we were finishing setup for MOVE in Savannah my wife called to tell me that Dale Jr. had finally won a race (after a 2 year winless drought). I knew it was only a matter of time - he had nearly won several times already this season and been very consistent, I knew he'd get one sooner or later. The ironic part of this win - to me, and keep in mind this is based entirely on my wife's description, because I saw none of the race, not even the highlights - was that he won it on fuel mileage. He's not usually the guy trying to stretch his mileage to seal up a win, but for once it worked. If a number of others hadn't already won races with strategies like this it might be fair to say he'd stolen the race, but sometimes it comes down to the mileage instead of the sheer speed.

I just hope it's not another 2 years before he wins again - and I wouldn't mind getting to see the next one.
