“I had a lot of fun tonight,” Dale Earnhardt Jr told NBC Sports. “Man, I got into the fence late. We were running pretty decent. We had a lot of problems with the car but we made some great adjustments and got the car running pretty good.”

“Right up on the fence. When the sun went down I knew our car was going to come in. That was pretty fun. I hated hitting the wall because we would’ve finished a little bit better. We lost about 10 spots getting that flat. ”

We ran into Truex down the back straight-away because we was high fivin’ him with our race car.

“The deal I had with Rick was if I finish the race with the car in one piece, I get the car and he gets the helmet. I’m going to take this thing back home. It’s got a little scuff here and there. We ran into Truex down the back straight-away because we was high fivin’ him with our race car.”
