We are all better than Waltrip

LongtimeBravesFan · 03-20-2007, 10:01 PM

Michael Waltrip was penalised 100 points prior to Daytona and earned less than that in the race. He hasn't made a race since so he still has negative points for the season.

That means that very one of us is closer to the Nextel Cup lead than Waltrip.

Congratulations, guys!!!!!!!!!!

Ain't it funny???????

What's worse for him is that he hasn't qualified for a race since Daytona. This should change starting in Bristol. But it is too little too late for him.

He didn't even qualify at Bristol, but atleast 1 of the cars he owns Dale Jarrett doesn't have to start 43rd.

Yeah Waltrip is doing horrible. He hasn't had a top 10 finish since 2005 to show you how far he has fallen off the map. Waltrip's lack of results are kind of hurting Toyota because he is the posterboy for them. For once DJ didn't have to waste another provisional this week.

DJ qualified ok, but he got taken out by Kenseth. My 2 favorite drivers in that wreck. Big trouble for alot of teams heading into next week at Martinsville.

I'll hold my judgement on the CoT until it runs at Talladega and/or one of the cookie cutter tracks (Texas, Calif, Chicago et al)

I was not initially a big fan of the chase, but I think it's ok now, so I will hold my judgement til later as well.

Waltrip got so much going on that I don't think he in to racing this year. He go his radio show and he doing commercial etc...

More Waltrip problems; this time off the track...

Quote:

Michael Waltrip is charged with reckless driving and failure to report an accident after a crash on Molly's Backbone Road in Catawba County.

The Highway Patrol says Waltrip was driving about 70 miles per hour in the 55 mile-per-hour zone when he went off the right side of the road in a curve around 1:50 a.m. Saturday. His car then traveled back across the pavement and off the left side of the roadway, sliding sideways and striking a utility pole as it overturned. The car then rolled over and came to a rest on its side.

Troopers said a witness saw Waltrip crawl out of the vehicle and leave the scene. When a trooper went to his home around 2:30 a.m. no one was there, but when he went back at 8 p.m. he found Waltrip, who admitted he'd fallen asleep at the wheel.

Waltrip, with scratches on his face and some deep cuts on his finger, spoke with Eyewitness News about the crash. He said he was on his way home to Sherill's Ford from Charlotte. "I was almost home. I relaxed a little bit and ran off the road," he explained. "I woke up with gravel hitting the car and I tried to correct but it was too late.

Not a good year for a race car driver when you are making more headlines for things not related to your driving performance. First the Daytona scandal now this. I think it is pretty fair to speculate the reason he left the scene was because he was drinking.

I like Mike and I'm glad he wasn't seriously hurt but...........

What was he thinking???????

Guess it's pretty evident he wasn't huh?

Waltrip qualified for Sunday's race so he should pass us. Hopefully they'll find something illegal in his car so we can keep our lead.
