"@DaleJr came in under a lot of different circumstances, pressures to overcome, deal with....and he handled it by being humble and successful.

A year ago it seemed possible he would never race again, but when the flag drops today he will have started them all.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. — you’ve reached the summit. Enjoy the view. #Appreci88ion pic.twitter.com/Uu0MN3s4vJ
There are very few who reach back to their roots as thoughtfully as he does. He knows where he came from, he appreciates where he’s been and this sport is a whole lot better on so many levels because he is a part of it.

When I got to know @DaleJr, I quickly realized why JR Nation was so big. Dale is as humble as they come, and a person of the people. In the face of a difficult tragedy, he led our sport, and its people so well. God bless you my friend, I hope your weekend is great. #Appreci88ion
