A week after he nearly was parked for running too slow, Junior zoomed by Jeremy Mayfield with 15 laps to go and sprinted to an easy victory Sunday in the Golden Corral 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

He also won the season-opening Daytona 500.

"Last week was as bad as it ever gets,'' Earnhardt said. "But we didn't get on each other too bad, and we stayed pretty focused.'' More
