Despite not practicing this week, Kyle Shanahan isn't too concerned with LT Trent Williams' (elbow) availability for Sunday's game against the Rams.

I know 2013 isn't the most memorable season when looking back at Dale jr career because well....he went winless but he had a lot of speed that year, especially during chase/playoffs. Here's his finishes during the last 10 races of the season:
35th (blown motor)
6th
2nd
8th
15th
2nd
8th
2nd
4th
3rd
Three of those races he could've or should've won. Dover he had the fastest car but his car was at its best during the long run. Unfortunately a caution happened and he lost spots on pit road and it came down to a short run and couldn't get pass Jimmie. Talladega he was setting up Jamie McMurray and the race ended under caution right when he was about to make his move. Then homestead he once again had the fastest car and like Dover he had a really good long run car. Didn't have the track position late and struggled getting pass Matt Kenseth and finishing 3rd. Jr finished 5th 104 points back. If it wasn't for that blown motor at Chicagoland he would've been right in the thick of the championship going into the finale. Also if he actually would've won those 3 races I just mentioned it would've put him even closer. Who knows..? He might had been the points leader by small margin going into homestead. He also led laps in 8 of the 10 chase races. And that was when leading laps meant something. Leading a lap gave you 5 bonus points and leading the most laps gave you 10 bonus points.
I know its seasons that hurt looking back on like 2009 and 2010 but I think 2013 hurts more because he had championship winning speed especially when it mattered and came away with no wins and 1 chase race costing him a chance at the title. I'm not saying he would've won the championship but at least been right in the thick of it
Seeing a couple “feuds” posts and it got me thinking. I know JJ had that little run-in with Blaney at the Glen, but that was settled over a beer the next weekend. Back during his reign as 5-time, he had a minor conflict with Gordon, but that seemed to be more of a mild annoyance that TV/media played up rather than an actual rivalry. For a driver as dominant for as long as he was, you’d think he’d have pissed more people off, yet I’m struggling to think of times where he was legitimately angry with someone or someone was angry with him. S which ones am I forgetting?

So I recently picked up the Passing The Torch 1:64 2- pack at Concord Mills last week and I'm wanting to recreate that iconic moment, similar to the Kevin Harvick 1st win diorama I made a few months ago. I'm in search of some clear reference photos, and Google just provides close-up shots of the cars and not the actual track or where it took place on the track. Judging from what I could find via NASCAR's YouTube channel, I believe it was in front of the GEICO restart zone, but I'm not 100% sure, so I call upon the people of r/NASCAR for assistance.
So when Jimmie Johnson retired last year I remember a tribute video with Bruce Springsteen’s I’ll see you in my dreams playing but I can’t find the video. Does anyone know who posted it or where I could find it? Thanks!
