No more 'Tradin' Paint' for Michael Waltrip

BRISTOL, Tenn. -- Nextel Cup driver and team owner Michael Waltrip has been relieved of his duties as co-host of the Speed Channel show "Tradin' Paint," network officials confirmed Friday.

Waltrip will remain on Speed's show "Inside Nextel Cup" and will continue to work in the broadcast booth for Speed Channel's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series broadcasts.

Asked for a reason for Waltrip's departure, Speed spokesman Erik Arneson said the network would not elaborate on internal personnel matters.

Speed expects to try out a different drivers on the show during the next few weeks, Arneson said.

The show is a weekly discussion program which is broadcast from each week's location of the Cup race. It has been hosted by Waltrip and John Roberts since its inception last season and has showcased Waltrip debating NASCAR issues with another media member guest.
 
Now if we could only get rid of him on the other two shows all would be well. Wonder how long it will be before Toyota parks him also. Think that Mikey would be much better off staying with being a owner instead of owner/driver.
 
mikie

maybe he can be first driver ever to finish wit negative points.
I wonder how long napa will put up with it
 
I think he's past his prime. But one thing for certain about Mike Waltrip and that he is keeping his face and name visible and that is at least good for NAPA.
