Win #1 Jr. wins at Texas! Tony Eury summed it up best when describing the wide-open, aggressive style of young Dale Earnhardt Jr. "It's hard to to keep him slowed down". Earnhardt Jr. shocked the NASCAR world on a Sunday at Texan Motor Speedway with his first Winston Cup victory in just his 12th career start. Afterward, Earnhardt Jr. was nearly uncontrollable as he pumped his fists and celebrated inside his race car. When he climbed from it in Victory Lane, he danced on the roof before jumping into his father's arms. |

Earnhardt Jr. becomes the first two-time winner in 11 NASCAR Winston Cup Series races this year, and joins Tony Stewart and Davey Allison as the only drivers to win twice in their rookie seasons. |
