Jaws 

Waltrip is one of the few drivers who not only changed the sport on the track, but in the booth. He's in a class with Ned Jarrett in how one generation knew him as a champion, and the next knew him as a top racing analyist

Before Kyle Busch, Darrel Waltrip was the definition of a polarizing figure in NASCAR during his prime. Damn, was he the master of stirring the pot against Bobby Allison and Rusty Wallace. Will forever respect one of the best to ever do it.

Nobody won more races than Waltrip from 1971-2010 than Darrell Waltrip. He won on every type of track, but was almost unbeatable on short tracks. He won over 1/4 of all races run between 1977 and 1984. Even beyond being a top 6 driver ever, he was one of the most iconic commentators in racing history. He's simply one of the greatest to ever do it

Before Ross Chastain Before Kyle Busch Heck, before Dale Earnhardt even started There was the *B O O G I T Y*

Fun fact - Brock Beard did a deep dive on Bodine's North Wilkesboro win. Turns out, he actually *did* win it, he was just on such an atypical pit cycle no one expected he would. Turns out Larry Mac was doing his legendary moves as crew chief all along

I'd honestly love to see your take on a Michael Waltrip documentary. He may not be as well regarded or liked as his brother, but his story is definitely one of the most interesting ones, and he remains one of my favourite legacy drivers, right up there with Alan Kulwicki, Mark Martin, Geoff Bodine, and of course, ol' DW.

The story of how he met his wife is PRICELESS.

Welcome back this weekend DW. BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY.

Ken Schrader started on the pole in 89 at Daytona. DW was on the outside of the front row. That wreck at Daytona in 91 is the one I believed that scared DW and took his nerve. After breaking his leg the year before, he didn't want to do anything to put his family in peril. That wreck was the beginning of the end of DW's career.

Darrell honestly deserves more credit the dude was one hell of a wheelman but I feel like he dosent get much credit Thank you elly for making this video I hope more people realize how goated this man is

One of the most gut wrenching things is Darrell's retirement party before the 500. When him and Dale cutting up and talking about just hanging out once Dale retired. Potentially in the booth at one point.

This channel is slowly but surely making me a NASCAR fan

D.W. wasn't in the spotlight. He WAS the spotlight

Darrell is just awesome. There was no watching racing without him. BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY LETS GO RACING BOYS!!!

I choose to believe that Junior Johnson had a detonator because that would be awesome.

DW will forever be the GOAT

The early 80s Cars were so fuckin sick. Just beautiful.

I mean DEI hiring DW is the equivalent of Kyle Busch hiring Kevin Harvick or vice versa.

13:29 Not to take anything away from ol' DW, but Dale cleaning his windshield while the car is moving is sheer legendary!

Darrell was my first hero driver, car, sponsor "Dew", jaws, and his dancing"Winning"! Dale was the black mamba trouble, thought the battles were awesome. Terrific broadcaster, humor and compassion for his career and fans. Then a Kyle Busch fan, and love Chastain 's approach today, love it .

I was too young of a NASCAR fan when people like DW were out there, and I really appreciate you making these videos. I only recently started getting back into NASCAR and am loving your content more than almost any other racing channel right now. Keep up the great work :)

Can we appreciate the time he puts into these videos we may not get video for month but they never fail🖤

after hearing Darrel's speech after dales death, it actually brought me to tears. he spoke all his words perfectly

He’s 6th on my all-time list. 1st on my commentators list. Can’t wait to see him in the booth this weekend.

"i hope dale is ok, he's alright right?"

Excellent video, you did Darrell and Dale good. All positive, no negative, all gas, no brakes.

They called him Jaws 'cause he chewed up the competition in the late 70s and early 80s

Forever a legend Darrel Waltrip🫡 BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY FOR US ONE MORE TIME IN WILKESBORO DARREL!!!!!!

The first time I heard of Darrel Waltrip was, as with most mid 2000s kids, from Pixar’s Cars movie, when he was cast as his in universe counterpart, Darrel Cartrip! (I’m certain he was also in Herbie Fully Loaded, Disney’s other car based, NASCAR racing featured family film the year prior, but I’ll have to rewatch it again to be sure!) And as with most things, stuff like this teach me just how important these awesome people actually are! They aren’t just official NASCAR people that did voices and cameos in racing movies for kids and families as a nice tribute to the real life sport of NASCAR and auto racing in general, they are genuinely awesome people with amazing history! Some parts great, some not so great, some parts happy, some funny, some sad and some just plain crazy! Long story short, thank you and everyone who share all these amazing stories of the people behind one of my favorite sports of all time!💖🏎️💖

Such a great video. Never let us down Elly

damn, I had no idea Darrell Waltrip originally wanted to do IndyCar

I love the decision to play "More Gun" during the Junior Johnson introduction Edit: It has also been shown that Brett Bodine did actually win that NW race, even without the scoring error

Thank you for uploading this video. You are becoming the EMPlemon of Nascar. Keep it up Man.

One of the overlooked GOATS

Darrell Waltrip is STRONGLY underrated.

I always get so excited when ellyproductions posts, cause I know it’s going to be great

DW drove them old boys crazy, he was good, and he let you know it

Got to say, as a Dale and Darrell fan, that thumbnail is just brilliant! ❤

That is hands down the funniest thumbnail I've seen in a long time 😂😂

I grew up in the era where Darrell Waltrip was the funny guy who raced cars and when he won, he'd give an amusing interview to end the show. I liked him and enjoyed seeing him on TV. Then my dad shocked me by telling me that DW was one of the most hated drivers on the track in the 70's and early 80's. I still don't see how that was possible, but oh well. 🤷‍♂

The Terraria underground music caught me by surprise, but safe to say i’m not complaining :D

some of the best motorsport content on RU-vid, good work.

jaws, 1 minute posted 1 minute ago

I’ve always loved cars, but never gotten into nascar. My dad never watched it but my uncle did/does. Your videos have inspired me to finally make a real effort. I can’t overstate their quality. Extraordinarily informative and entertaining. Thank you for doing what you do. Also, I’d never seen that invocation. I tend not to be shaken by such things, especially when they aren’t related to my family, but that really brought tears to my eyes. Among many other factors, it’s moving to see such bombastic personalities truly touched and taking the time to so sincerely put others first.

"I guess he's alright, isn't he" has to be one of the most polarizing calls in the history of any sport

Would’ve had a helluva career as a wrestling manager! 😂

Fantastic video. Absolutely fantastic. So many people forget he's been there through some of if not THE best years of the sport he raced legends and eventually became one himself. Keep these videos coming man great work 👍

When I see Jaws video I click.

babe wake up ellyproductions49 put out another banger video

He would drive the car as fast as he would run his mouth

How the heck do you not have more subs!!! Great video!!

Looking back on it I find Tony's remarks on Darrell funny because even though Darrell went 8 years winless, Tony never came close to doing as well in his career. Edit: NASCAR career (as a driver), as in the same series Darrell raced in. I know Tony has done well in other ventures.

I just ran across your channel, and I gotta say your production quality is on point.

Another well-thought out and put together essay, I absolutely love the content.

i love your videos man, another great upload

21:39 is one of the most chilling moments of all recorded sports history. There is no way Darrell had any idea how many people would listen to those words over and over again, and what was happening on turn 4 as they left his mouth. One thing that always brings me some solace, is the knowledge that one of the very last sights Dale ever saw was Michael and Jr. heading towards the finish line with the entire field far far away. I just hope Dale’s alright…

Thank you man your videos are always awesome keep up the great work

I think i hated every lap that man completed in a NASCAR but missed him like hell when he was gone.

Amazingly well done video, grest emotion taken out of it. Keep it up!

That Intro is pure gold.

What a story, always so great. Then the piece with dale 🥹

I'm way too ADD to watch videos longer than a few minutes usually, but some how you got me to watch the whole thing. I'm not even some big DW fan. Great video.

Man i miss DW in the booth. Mike Joy lost his fastball and clint bowyer is a doofus

That was excellent. Really enjoyed it. Bravo!

''oh jaws wrecked me again''

Great video crew! Very nice work!

This was great content!~ Thank you~

I keep saying this but dude: your content is next fucking level. Not a single miss yet! Entertaining, informative and captivating, a real gem of a channel

Waltrip drinks Bud Light.

Darrel is to nascar as Martin Brundle is to F1

Amazing story telling

I've played the game for so long that I can't un hear it. Props to using the Engineer Theme "More Gun" from the Team Fortress 2 Soundtrack @10:30.

Great Video As Always!!

The greatest ever !!!!!!!!!!!😎🙏🇺🇸👍

I miss dw commentating so bad bro

Ur prob my fav nascar channel ngl

That thumbnail is great

love this vid

Waltrip calling his brothers first win was so special, but what awful timing. You could feel the raw emotion from Jaws that day. Rest in Peace, Dale Earnhardt.

I just want to take a moment to say that the the thumbnail for this video sent me into orbit the first time I saw it. I immediately got what it was referring to and I was howling. Well done.

God I love this guy

only darrell flips a car in his girlfriends yard

very well done brotha!

Phenomenal video.

He said on the Dale Jr down load that in the mid 80's they were going to replace him with a famous name ,Bruce Jenner

Racing history videos are the best

This is truly how you get me to watch a video. Photoshop Darrel into the jaws poster lmao

You deserve so many more views

So Darrell Waltrip is the Dusty Rhodes of NASCAR. Got it.

DW❤

Well done!

something i love about youtube, and it happens A LOT, is coming to some random non-video game video and hearing MUSIC FROM TERRARIA!

Awesome video 🫡

The only thing that kept d.w from being 100 plus race winner was his desire to run his own team ! Should have stay at Hendrick

"bogity bogity bogity lets go racing yah hot dogs" lol

yooo new ellyproductions video

Waltrip was one of my favorites.

Common EllyProductions W

That 22 High Life car is such a heater

Knocked it out of the park man. What a great video. Had to know that ending was coming one way or the other, but damn you presented it in a way that choked me up.
