What does it mean to you to join that exclusive club . I dont know. Right now i want to thank the good lord above. I hate it for the ten guys we just had a run and i stayed on the gas. Its what it is. It is so awesome to take the 3 car back to victory lane 20 years ago. This is for Dale Earnhardt sr. Matt he had a lucky penny in the car. Anything special in this 3 . I had a fan actually he had no favorite driver and i told him ill give you my hat if im your favorite driver. I gave him the hat. The next day he saw me in the infield and said here is a lucky penny i found headsup. I said well put it in the car. Were here in victory lane. Matt what were you thinking building to the finish .

And when there isnt, well, you know where im going with that. Dont do things by the book if the book cant keep up. Take your page from one that hasnt been written. We took two renowned universities, including a premiere medical school, and created a Single University that defies convention. At jefferson, were making modern look old and making old look new and making sure new is not enough. Were adding more weight to your degrees and more meaning to your careers, going where others wouldnt dare, making connections few think to make, and setting tomorrows standards by breaking todays, because we believe the lines that are drawn are meant to be crossed. Thats where the future is born. And once you realize youre not limited to whats possible, guess what . You redefine all that will be. The burnout for the 3 car only the history of the sport the 3 car has gone to victory lane as Austin Dillon, the ninth different winner and fourth straight firsttimedate date winner.

We were praying. She said this one isnt going to be pretty. I dont feel youre going to lead much of it, but were going to win when it matters, last lap. I was like, sure, ill take it any way we can get it. I have to thank my wife for the shoutout. Tell me about that move. Well, bubba gave me a heck of a push down the backstretch. I went low.

Bubba wallace in a chevy wound up second, and vince welch is standing by with him.

Congrats to austin. Rcr one and two, thats pretty good. I want to see the replay before i say anything stupid. All in all a great day for our Chevrolet Camaro team.

The king comes in all mad at me and says after all ive told you what was the first rule i told to you do. And im like, i dont know, i lost my breath. Dont wreck the car. So thank you to the king for keeping me young and keeping him young as well and for giving me the opportunity, we know how much stress this team has been through in the last three or four months trying to get this program together. For me to come out here and this hectic three months ive had with the facebook series behind the wall, check it out. A hell of an ending tonight. Chris . A candid rookie, Darrell Wallace, as Austin Dillon celebrates. You heard him mention 20 years ago this week Dale Earnhardt 11 years ago today, Kevin Harvick who took over for the late Dale Earnhardt won here at daytona for Richard Childress racing. Pass it down to you one day. Ny cool. But before you decide, you should know that chevy silverados are the most dependable, longest lasting fullsize pickups on the road. Which means that ford f150s are not. laughs which truck would you pick . The chevy. The chevy. The chevy. There you go. Boom. That was obvious. Plus it looks cooler. No doubt about it.

Congratulations to the cocacola racing family driver and the 3 car driver, Austin Dillon, for the big win in the 60th running of the Great American race and the 3 car, daytona 500 champ. Its been referenced 20 years ago this week when Dale Earnhardt won his first and only daytona 500, and now the 3 car as lightning strikes twice for the 3. That youngster pointing his finger, Austin Dillon, age 7, was will. Larry mcreynolds was the crew chief for Dale Earnhardt, talked about him celebrating with earnhardt in victory lane. You can see by the look on that kids face, im going to be here celebrating the Great American race and being able to catch up with Richard Childress and to see the emotion and just feel how thankful and passionate that family is about this place and what this event means to the earnhardt and all the race fans. Michael waltrip, chris myers, and youre watching post race coverage live here on fox. Overtime win, and there is the trophy. Michael, you got to hold on to that thing two times, one of the special awards in this sport as you start the season with the most important race and carry it forward. Look at Richard Childress with his hand in the air. His wife whitney. What a scene. And, michael, i wanted to get your thoughts, by the way, dillon only led the final lap in overtime and led two laps in his first win averaging 17 today. This is where he pushed almirola from the back, you heard him reference in his post race comments. Chris, ever since the end of the first stage the gloves have been off in this race. Weve seen aggressive blocking from everybody on the track, the block, the spin. You saw the reaction from the crew of the 10 car, vince welch is with the driver. Well, the final result will say tenth place but were you right there at the finish. How did it shake out for you guys . My heart is broken. So devastated. I thought i was going to win the daytona 500, vince. Just disappointed. I wanted to get smithfield to victory lane, ford to victory lane. Everybody put so much into me and my career and with this switch over to stewarthaas racing this offseason. I couldnt have thought of a better way to start off the new relationship with stewarthaas racing than to go to victory lane at the daytona 500. Unfortunately, that wasnt the case. I did everything i could. Unfortunately i ended up in the infield care center. Im definitely devastated but the beauty is theres always next week. Well go to atlanta and try and go win with smithfield and ford there. Aric almirola, so close but ends up tenth. Ryan blaney has come so close today. You led over 100 laps in the race. Had one of the dominant race cars. Talk about what happened in turn two. Yes, the wreck there well, before i lost the lead, just blocking as hard as you can. I got loose and thought we made a decent charge back up through and i kind of got to the left of the 41 and i had somebody push me from behind. I turn him. You never want to do that. Its a shame you dont close it out. You try to learn from your mistakes and try to do better next time. You never know what can happen. You learn the best you can. This one definitely stings. Hopefully we can get another shot at it one day. One of the best speedway racers. Hell get a win soon. It was a very successful speed week for joey logano. He brings it home fourth in the daytona 500. Joey, was that race anything like you anticipated it would be . Pretty much. I expected to be aggressive. Everyone knows the daytona 500 and how big of a deal it is to be out there and my race wasnt as i wanted it to be. Left for damage early in the race, we picked that, went down a lap, got our lucky dog and scored third place stage points. I was in position with my teammate and i made a mistake on pit road and it cost us the speeding penalty and went down a lap again, got another lucky dog. And missed a few crashes. Got ourselves close to being in position to make something happen and we got a top five at the end of the day. Roller coaster day for the shell pennzoil ford. Overall top five is okay. I hate missed opportunities and i feel we had one today. Always smiling, joey logano, but the biggest smile of the 40 drivers who had dreams when the day started of winning the daytona 500, Austin Dillon, brother ty and crew celebrating. Oh theres one. Manatees in novelty ts . Surprising. Whats come at me bro . Its something you say to a friend. Whats not surprising . How much money matt saved by switching to geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

Austin dillon in victory lane, surviving the wreckora ma. We had practically threefourths of the field, 27 cars involved in crashes or wrecks at some time. How was he able to do this because it didnt seem he was much of a factor throughout much of the race and then in overtime led that one lap, the most important lap. I just like this team. They decided to pit early. It didnt necessarily pay off at thet
