Although Waltrip finally got his first win he would go on to have one of the worst seasons in his Cup Series career. This was a season filled with crew chief changes, bad luck, mid-twenty runs and a lot of wrecks.

Great video as always! I want to make a recommendation for a bad seasons video. Richard Petty's last couple of years weren't very good, but, his 1989 season was atrocious it was also the first time he failed to qualify for a race in 18 years.

@AmericanStig-3 5 лет назад

First off, I'm gonna say I like Mikey. Now, the bad stuff. A lot of his issues were getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having said that, I also wonder if the many years he spent in bad equipment (no disrespect to the Wood Brothers) made it difficult for him to adapt to good equipment in 2001? A win at Daytona is pretty easy, hold the hammer down, don't run out of fuel, avoid wrecks, communicate adjustment needs to the team, and hit your marks on pit road if you're in a good car.

Interestingly, if the Series were held in the state of Florida that year, Michael would have had a good season as he won the Daytona 500 and placed second in the Pepsi 400 and 2nd at the Pennzoil Freedom 400 at Homestead. That was pretty much his only good finishes of 2001, in the state of Florida.

@DavidJ867 5 лет назад

The Florida races (both Daytona events and Homestead) were Michael's only highlights of the 2001 season. Ran well at Fall Talladega before his engine gave way too, but other than that, it was a woe-filled year. At least that long winless streak was broken and didn't continue in the #15 car. Now that I think of it, Dale Sr pretty much caused every one of Mikey's wins. He slid up the track under Terry Labonte in the 1996 Winston, allowing Michael to slip by for the win. And his 4 points wins came with Dale's race team.
