Dale Earnhardt Jr. broke his 76-race winless streak today, cruising to victory at Michigan for his very first win for Hendrick Motorsports! Junior was down to almost no gas in the final laps as he battled his way ahead of Jamie McMurray, and had to shut his engine on and off, coasting to save fuel during some late-race caution laps. During the final green-white-checker run for the finish, the caution again came out when Patrick Carpentier took a spin into the grass, and Junior cruised to the start-finish line on fumes with Kasey Kahne right on his bumper. Congratulations, Junebug. Your daddy would be so proud.
