Michael Waltrip
Sponsor: NAPA Auto Parts
Owner: Teresa Earnhardt
Car: Chevrolet
Number: 15
Birthdate: Apr 30, 1963
For Waltrip, 2001 started off exactly as he and team owner Dale Earnhardt had dreamed. After moving into a high-profile ride with Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Waltrip, ended his 0-for-462 skein in the Winston Cup Series with a win in the Daytona 500.
Earnhardt's death in a crash on the final lap of that race not only tarnished Waltrip's achievement, but changed the face of the sport forever.
