MICHAEL WALTRIP RESUME
Professional Experience
Has won 4 races in 676 starts (.00591 Winning Percentage) all
wins are with Dale Earnhardt Incorporated and at restrictor plate
race tracks (Daytona and Talladega) when DEI was dominant at
restrictor plate racing. Mediocrity = average career finish of 21.7.
Special Skills
Convincing Sponsors to Leave Established Car Owners:
1. Took NAPA from Dale Earnhardt - How do you repay a
NASCAR Legend who gave you the opportunity to win 4 races
after loosing 462 consecutive races? Well if your name is Michael
Waltrip you convince the sponsor to leave DEI and be part of an
organization that cheats and does not qualify for races.
Earnhardt fans should remember that Dale had established NAPA
with DEI long before Michael was involved with the organization.
2. Took UPS from Robert Yates Racing. Not only did he convince
UPS to leave a NASCAR Champion Car Owner, he convinced
NASCAR Champion Dale Jarrett to leave as well. Dale Jarrett and
UPS are now sitting home on race day as they are out of the top
35 in car owner points and have already used all six of their past
champion provisionals.
Cheating
Waltrip's car was confiscated after Daytona 500 qualifying as a
result of NASCAR officials spotting an illegal substance on the
intake manifold. Michael says a full investigation is being
conducted. This just in.......OJ says he is still looking for the real
killer too.
Have You Ever Been Charged with a Crime?
Waltrip was charged in April with reckless driving and failing to
report an accident, both misdemeanors. He told police he fell
asleep the wheel and woke up to find his car overturned in the
gravel.
"He was bleeding from his forehead and had some cuts on his
fingers and arms," a witness said. "I told him "You are really lucky
you are alive. I didn't think anybody was alive in there.' We sort of
talked for a minute or two, and I told him 911 was on the way, and
he just turned around and started walking home.
"I didn't know what to say or what to do. He had a T-shirt and
sweat pants and socks on, he might have taken his shoes off in
the car, but I wasn't sure. And he just turned around and started
walking home in his socks."
Waltrip has a June 25 court date in Newton on the charges
