Dale Earnhardt Jr. wasn't the only member of the Earnhardt family who was happy for Jimmie Johnson this past weekend after the six-time Sprint Cup Series champion tied Dale Earnhardt's mark of 76 career Cup wins.

Junior, who bestowed high praise on teammate Johnson after the milestone victory, was later joined in the offering of kind words by his older sister, Kelley.

Amazing career @JimmieJohnson! 76 wins tying my dad and you are in incredible company with wins and championships. Pretty cool to see.
