"Wall Whacking Waltrip Wanting Win!"

 

One of the biggest stories (and there were many) to come out of this seasons first night race last weekend in Phoenix, has to be Michael Waltrip.

Let's re-cap shall we?

• The incredible comeback for Carl Edwards, who was two laps down, finishes 7th.
• Greg Biffle's possible weekend sweep comes to a screeching halt, after he drives Mike Bliss' rear bumber through his radiator during a pit stop on lap 168, after several pit stops, he would end up 41st.
• Junior has a top five, with Talladega up next.
• It's been 14 races since Jimmy Johnson finished outside of the top ten, and he claims Tony Stewart brake checked him....uh yeah, do you get the feeling those two are going to be a couple all year?
• Gordon never leads a lap, at a track he's never won at.

Well, you can't say that Mikey didn't try! Come on, admit it, didn't you wantWaltrip to win? Hey, hats's off to Kurt Busch, but it was fun watching Waltrip whackin' the walls at PIR.
Mike's older brother, Darrell, who's nickname was Jaws, (for always flapping his jaws) is known for having great sound bites. Michael is cut from the same cloth. In the post race interview, Michael had some very humbling sound bites himself:..."the car was great, then I ran out of talent!" (Brilliant! Clink!)

Waltrip always seems to hover around the top of the rumor chain, saying his days at D.E.I. are numbered. (some even refer to Michael as the Rodney Dangerfield of Nascar) He's driving the same cars Junior drove last year, with Junior's crew chief now on top of his pit box, and if it wasn't for a few blown motors this year. Mikey could easily be sitting in the top five in points.

It'll be interesting to watch the D.E.I. camp in Alabama this weekend, they own that place! Good Luck, Mikey! We'll all be watching and waiting, as you, along with 42 other drivers, keep the pedal to the metal and aim your Cup car for 500 miles.

Yep, watching and waiting for the big one (A Nascar Wreck)...cause it's going to happen, always does, and always will..just wondering when!
