So Jr gives the ole No. 3 one more ride and all the sudden he wins one .. Kevin makes no attempt to pass him on last lap.. I say it was planned .. Opinions ...

He said tonight would be the last time he would run it. It was more of a tribute to his dad then anything since it was at Daytona.

Think about it your driving, it's hot, loud as hell, you think your starting to lose your wits and then you notice the Wrangler 3. Taking you back to when SR drove it. You think you went back in time and think that if you make a move to pass him you will end up in the wall and get a nice DNF for the race. You back off.
Rigged? I don't think on purpose. I think that the drivers get caught up in the moment of the 3 being on the track and they ease off the throttle. Doesn't take much to slow down. If you slow down you lose position. And JR wins. He's not the only one to drive the 3 and win after SR passed. The following race after his death Kevin Harvick drove SR's back up car.
From memory I could be wrong have been before.

He has been saying it would be the last time for awhile. They planned this the end of last year or the first of this year. As you stated it is in tribute to his dad. He has said time and time again he could never run the #3 on a permanent basis. And the reason why, it is his dad's number plain and simple.

Kind of true but the number was changed to #29.. So while it was a car built for Dale it did not run the number #3.. Also it was not the race right after his death. It was 3 weeks later at Atlanta. The race after his deaths was North Carolina.

Ahh , so the fact that before tonight he was 88th in points .. and he puts the No 3 on his car at Daytona has nothing to do with anything ...

That's bullshit, any one of those drivers that have any balls would be in it for the win no matter who the hell it was comin' behind.
Mind games? I call bullshit.
It was everyone else being a pussy for one night so the ol' #3 can win an emotional one, ..., phuck that, ..., what a bullshit win, ..., Jr ain't that damn good, ...

Thanks for the compliment!!!!!

Jr won a race so it must be rigged. Riding coattails? So it's Jr's fault that his dad was Dale Earnhardt? How dare he. The moment Sr died, Jr should have changed his last night, right? This is only the 2nd time he's raced the 3 car. If he was trying to take advantage of his dad's name, don't u think he would have switched to the #3 fulltime? Imagine the revenue that would have brought in. To the haters, Jr can't do anything right. He wins, he cheated or nascar rigged the race. He loses, he's overrated.
