Definitive Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 At the time DJ won his championship,only a few cars could follow that Yates car(horsepower)around the track.The rest all waved at him every time he passed them on their right.How many races would Davey Allison have won in the Yates rockets by now?Scary.How many Cups would he have stolen from Earnhardt and Gordon?Hmmmm......remember the four race point lead he had when he passed away?

landlord Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Mikey used to be a top 20-30 driver when he had good equipment,plus he finished races with his car in one piece.He is in sub-par equipment right now but it is his team that he built that has him in the situation that he is in.The top notch guys in the bussiness were not going to leave the good teams to go work for Mikey!!!

Top 30 at best, with the best equipment, that doesn't cut it. I doubt he has sub par equipment now and if he does he only has himself to blame. I'd bet he has 2 PR people, one to blame the owner and one to blame the driver!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMRacer89 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Guess, Mikey wants to give the rest of the field a big head start before he starts qualifying for any races. You know, I wonder what would happen if DW came back and got in the drivers seat of the 55? And Mikey just became an owner. Betcha he could qualify WITHOUT a champs provisional. Hey Adam, I will split seat time with you in Mikey's car !! The call I'm waiting for, however, is from Hendrick Motorsports, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorboy Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 DW couldn't qualify in his own car without a champs provisional for about his last 4 years, what makes you think he could now. The rule about previous champions provisionals was changed because of DW using it EVERY race. It was pitifull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey19 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 CORNELIUS, NC --- Michael Waltrip Racing announced Monday morning that driver Michael Waltrip is being relieved of driving duties in the number 55 NAPA-sponsored Toyota Camry. Waltrip has missed five of the season’s first six races, and has a season point total of negative 27 after incurring a 100 point penalty for a fuel additive that was discovered in his car’s intake manifold after qualifying for the Daytona 500 in February. “We simply can’t continue on the path we find ourselves on,” stated an obviously dejected Waltrip, “and the time has come for a change. I’ve decided to release myself from my driving contract, and begin the search for a replacement.” No possible replacements were named, and any potential candidates would have to first be approved by Toyota Racing Development officials. Michael Waltrip’s struggles as a driver began in 1985, and have continued through to the present day. Despite a handful of super speedway wins in DEI-prepared Chevrolets, including a pair of Daytona 500 victories, Waltrip’s career has been marked mostly by mediocre finishes and several memorable television commercials. When asked if the controversy surrounding this year’s Daytona 500 had anything to do with the decision, Waltrip reminded that he is still working on finding out exactly who placed the fuel additive in his Toyota. “Just like OJ’s tireless hunt for his wife’s killer, we’ll continue to follow the leads until we find out once and for all, just who it was that actually made our car seem competitive during Daytona 500 qualifying.” Ads for car parts, guns, rent-to-own furniture, and other necessities for the NASCAR fan still grace the Michael Waltrip Racing website, reminding vistors that Watrip’s effectiveness as a pitch man can still lure advertisers into signing million dollar endorsement deals despite his complete inability to competitively drive a stock car at the sport’s highest level. Despite his firing, Michael tried to remain upbeat. “It’s not cool to be fired by yourself, and it’s really uncool to have to fire yourself,” said Waltrip in a statement that was clear only to himself, “but you have to remind yourself to look at the bright side. We’ve got some really cool things going on at the Raceworld shop this summer where the fans will be able to participate in some actual shop activities. That is, if we still have a shop this summer.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
