He's proud of his son, too, but that product of his, he put this team together and it goes out and wins a race. No matter who's driving, he's happy about that. Earnhardt Jr. had a fast car from Friday's first practice session. He qualified fourth later that day and raced with the leaders throughout Sunday. Once in the lead, he was uncatchable.
Nothing really sticks out as anything going on in the race or happening in the race.
It was fun racing Bobby Labonte and to run like we did in front of him because I admire him a lot about how he carries himself around the garage area and stuff. He's a really cool guy, real quiet, and he doesn't ruffle anybody's feathers. After the last three weeks, it was fun go get out front and show these guys I could use my head and make smart decisions. It was fun to prove that to them and prove my status as far as a driver goes. Earnhardt proved his status in convincing fashion.
