Man, Tony could really hurt somebody with that trophy. :)
Seriously, good to see him win in his hometown. It's been a weird NASCAR season overall. Can't believe Little E is going to miss the top 10, but it sure looks that way.

Don't worry. With the current racing media we have, he will ALWAYS be the story. If he's winning, it's a story. If he's losing, it's a story.
Don't get me wrong, I like Dale Jr. But way too many in the media think that ALL race fans are Jr fans. It makes me wonder what they will talk about during the last 10 races when #8 isn't the chase.
For the record, they are just as guilty of treating Jeff Gordon the same way, but at least Gordon is a 4-time cup winner which makes missing the chase more of a story.
