After Dale Earnhardt Jr. won his first race in four years on Sunday at Michigan International Raceway, I wanted to know what Junior Nation was thinking.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Fans Rejoice On Twitter As NASCAR Driver Snaps Winless Streak At Michigan
I asked Earnhardt Jr. fans to let me know about their reactions when he won the race, and here’s a sampling of what they said:
@jeff_gluck I fell to the floor in tears of joy. That's what it means to me.
