He ain't a racer but here is a quote thread must have


to be the MAN, you have to BEAT the MAN !!! Whoot !! from America's best intellectual Ric Flair
 
That cars a rocket ship Buddy Baker as TNN color analyst

I wish I could remember the exact quote, but in the 1982 World 600 Darrell Waltrip blew an engine and wrecked.


The crowd cheered and celebrated. So DW said something in the following interview like


that he would meet anybody that booed him down at the local K-Mart , to settle matters .



In those days DW was a mean S.O.B. And the clear bad guy. That was the DW I liked, or at least enjoyed.

"Waltrip also earned the wrath of trackside spectators, who responded with a chorus of boos when he was introduced before a race. The negative reaction bothered the flashy and articulate Waltrip. When he crashed at Charlotte one year, the huge throng cheered. In a radio interview that was played over the track public address system, Waltrip challenged his adversaries in the grandstands to "meet me in the Big K parking lot...and we'll duke it out."
