Dale Earnhardt Jr. has won the Daytona 500.

Hey everybody, this is Dale Earnhardt Jr.

With me, as always, is Tyler Oberstreet, what's up, and it's time for the Dale Jr. download.

Thanks for tuning in. We got a lot of great stuff to talk about. Obviously the Daytona 500.

We got Atlanta coming up. We've had a pretty busy week, and a lot of things on the dock for the coming days.

We'll talk about that. So appreciate you tuning in. Let's get to it.

So let's talk about the Daytona 500. Obviously we finished 37th.

But your 27th and points. How is that possible?

Because of the ones that you earned in the duel. I was very confused. It's going to be hard to follow the points this year.

It is. Seems like it's going to be a little more challenging with those points that are given away after each stage.

We're going to just kind of just jump things around.

We had an accident on lap 105 while leading the race.

Yeah, so I'd called the Gibbs guys. They had pitted early. We were about to pit, I think, in about two laps.

It was within five. That's kind of frustrating.

Anyways, I couldn't pass the Gibbs guys because I didn't have we were running the top and I couldn't form really any runs that way, which is why you run the top.

People will talk about that here in a bit why that top works the way it does.

But I had other guys behind me that were a lap down.

So it's like a seven car pack and you were maybe fourth in the line, but you were leading the race.

The cars behind me that were a lap down.

And if I pulled out the pass, they were probably going to stick with the Gibbs guys, which would put them on the lead lap.

So trying to pass the Gibbs or get them a lap down was not an option.
