00:0020 years ago this week, you were in victory lane as a 7-year-old, and you saw how much
00:05this race meant to Dale and your grandfather.
00:09What does it mean to you to join that exclusive club?
00:13I don't know right now.
00:14I just want to thank the good lord above.
00:17I did what I had to do at the end.
00:18I hate it for the 10 guys.
00:20We just had a run, and I stayed in the gas.
00:22That's what it is here at Daytona, but it is so awesome to take the three car back to
00:28victory lane 20 years ago.
00:30This one's for Dale Earnhardt Sr. and all those senior fans.
00:32I love you guys.
00:33We're going to keep kicking butt the rest of the year.
00:37He had a lucky penny in the car.
00:39Anything special in this three?
00:42I had a fan.
00:43Actually, he had no favorite driver, and I told him, I said, I'll give you my hat if
00:48I'm your favorite driver.
00:49Well, I gave him the hat, and the next day he saw me in the infield and said, here's
00:54a lucky penny.
00:55I found heads up.
00:56I said, man, we got to put that in the car.
00:58We're here in victory lane.
