But if you think NASCAR rigged it so Dale Jr. could win the pole, well, that’s just ridicules. And it’s even more ridicules to think that they could rig it for him to win. But rather then start a big debate, just think about this. Picture them telling Tony Stewart, “Ok, we’re going to let Dale win today.” Do you really think he would swallow that?
Or for that matter, tell every one of the other 42 drivers that and get them to agree to it. Heck, I’ve never seen two drivers agree on what stagger to run, let alone who to let win a race!

That aint how it is done. They just give him a restrictor plate with a little larger opening. Dont pay too much attention during inspection and all of a sudden he has the fastest car on the track. Pretty simple really, only way he could lose is to screw up and get in a wreck. And if you dont think thats how it happened the week after Dale died, the 1st time they went back to Daytona and Jr won, when Harvick won after replacing Dale and when Gordon won the 1st brickyard, I have some swampland in the Everglades I need to sell ya.
