I've always been a fan of Michael Waltrip. But for the love of God, I couldn't understand why Dale Earnhardt thought enough of Mikey to put him in one of his cars. I will never forget how it felt after the 2001 Daytona 500: sheer joy suddenly erased...well, crushed for all time. For my own selfish reasons, it would have been nice to have had the opportunity to say "Thank You" to Dale Sr. for giving another driver a chance to realize his potential.

@conductorinblack Ya it sucked for Mikey that day for sure just the lookon his face when he heard the news hit everyone the same way !!! Sucks he missed the 500 this year he was really upset !

@midatlanticcycle One of Dale's first Cup rides was in Chrysler products in 1975 in the 10,000 RPM # 8 Dodge.
