22 years ago TODAY! 🏁 Dale Earnhardt Jr., "using lessons learned from his father," charged to win at Daytona International Speedway. #NASCAR

@DaleJr @DAYTONA I speak for everyone when I say that this race was rigged and that Johnny Benson Jr. was the real winner.

@DaleJr @DAYTONA I didn’t know I needed to cry at 8:30am but here we are.

Get back to school combining learning with... Fun! 🎓 Cat's Cosmic Atlas takes part in #BackToSchool2024 #gamescelebration on #Steam! 😺 ✨ Check it out here! => ✨ #cats #SteamGames

@DaleJr @DAYTONA Those cars, Alan and Benny. This was nascar at its finest

@DaleJr @DAYTONA I’ll maintain until the end of time that car was illegal and it was staged for him to win, just like when Petty got his 200th.

@DaleJr @DAYTONA @AllenBestwick, Benny & Wally made each race exiting because they were exited about each race 🏁

@DaleJr @DAYTONA I loved this more than anything at the time. I was just thinking we don’t talk about what Michael did to finish second. He was further back than Dale. He wanted to be there at the end badly I think.

@DaleJr @DAYTONA And a "special" restrictor plate.. Just sayin. He could pass anywhere, anytime, draft or no draft.

@DaleJr @DAYTONA What a night it was for #EarnhardtNation

@DaleJr @DAYTONA Still the greatest moment in nascar history to this day

@DaleJr @DAYTONA To this day, I'm convinced they let Jr win that race. Because if they didn't, to put it in wrestling terms, they would've gotten nuclear heat. Whoever won that wasn't Jr would've gotten booed out of Daytona and probably everywhere else for the rest of their career
