Thanks for the link Space! I literally haven't watched a NASCAR race in 2 years cause I just aint interested in it anymore - but wow - Jr. winning in an RCR No3 how cool is that!
Don't get me wrong, I'm a Junior fan and I'm glad he won the race.
But I'm very suspicious of that win. Considering his performance over the last few years. Suddenly he jumps into the #3 RCR Nationwide car and wins the first time. On the weekend his dad is inducted into the hall of fame.

I was wondering how he did in the race, I didn't get to see either race this weekend =(
Believe me I want to see the #3 in victory lane sooo bad but I most def think there is something going on
^^^totally agree with this, & i thought he was already inducted bcuz i watched the induction ceremony on speed & needless to say i cried when they inducted him

This wasn't a Sprint Cup win - it was a Nationwide race. Junior almost never drives the Nationwide series and usually does well when he does. Daytona is easy for Junior, especially against Nationwide "rookies". When was the last time Junior did poorly @ Daytona? He chose the #3 for this race because he knew he could win it.
No need to knock Junior. With his fourth place finish in the Sprint Cup race he now has the best average finish @ Daytona this year and the only guy with a pair of top 5 finishes.
