Dale Earnhardt Jr. celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the 56th NASCAR Daytona 500 in Daytona Beach, Fla., on Sunday.

“Man winning this race is the greatest feeling that you can feel in this sport, aside of accepting the trophy for the championship,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “It feels as good if not better than the first. Especially running second after all the years.”
