Lonzo's Sports Gear Blog: @dalejr reflects after winning on anniversary of his father’s death. Winning a race at #Daytona on the 15th anniversary of his father’s death, made it something really special. “I was daydreaming a little bit,” Earnhardt said in his post-race interview. “I’m guilty of daydreaming a little bit about winning this race tonight because of the day. That was special to me. Glad nothing bad happened, that we didn’t tear our car up, because that would have been embarrassing on a day like this.” “It’s real special,” Earnhardt admitted. “I was thinking about that. I try not to make too big a deal. I’ve told all you guys in interviews we’ve done how much I like people to remember dad, talk about dad. It really warms my heart to see the stuff on social media and so forth. That’s probably my best way to gauge the reaction to a day like this. You see a lot of people mention him … It’s pretty cool.” #NASCAR #IndyCar #F1 #Formula1 #Racing #Motorsports #Race #Motorsport #Daytona #daytona500 #DaleEarnhardtJr #DaleJr #DaleEarnhardt by lastlapinsider http://ift.tt/1QoA9yD
