Dale Earnhardt Jr. and JR Motorsports celebrated a milestone win over the weekend.
JR Motorsports got its 100th win in the NASCAR Xfinity Series on Saturday. Dale Jr., the legendary NASCAR Cup Series driver, was in attendance to witness it. Connor Zilisch took home the checkered flag, winning his fifth race of the season.
“Oh man. He’s a hell of a driver,” Earnhardt said of Zilisch. “You know, he just went up there and got it back. We’ve got great race cars, a good race car underneath him to do what he needed to do. So, it takes a lot of us and want to thank the engine shop. Hendrick Motorsports engine shop, that’s what wins races in places like this and at Dover. So, thank y’all for all the hard work, they’ve worked hard this year. And all the support we get from HMS, it’s important to our performance.”
Dale Jr. thanked a lot of people following the race.
“Yeah, I was, uh, a lot of people to thank,” Dale Jr. said after the race on The CW. “But he [Zilisch] did a good job, man. Just awesome driving to him. We got some help from Sam on the back straightaway. Just a good little driver. Hey, these races are tough on your heart. Up and down, up and down. 100 wins for our team. That’s a big deal. I know my sister and everybody’s very emotional, and we’re going to enjoy this one.”
Most importantly, though, he thanked his sister, Kelley Earnhardt.
Kelley Earnhardt Miller serves as the CEO of JR Motorsports which she co-owns with her brother. Congratulations are pouring in for her following the 100th victory.
