On our recent trip to the Battle at Bristol, Darrell Waltrip was like the seventh member of our BC crew. Our recreational vehicle was stationed on the side of Bristol Motor Speedway that featured the Darrell Waltrip grandstand.
The entire trip took place under the watchful eye of three-time NASCAR champ and current FOX announcer, check him out on the left:
Now that the Chase for the Sprint Cup is underway, we spoke to DW via our Milk The Clock podcast about who he thinks will win NASCAR’s championship.
DW also told us about:
- M&M’S, the Official Chocolate of NASCAR, and how the brand will be providing fans access to exclusive race day content on their Facebook page to celebrate it’s 75th anniversary
- His thoughts on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s concussion concerns and my conspiracy that he’s using it as a way to separate himself from the sport without damaging his brand or NASCAR’s
- The concussions DW experienced during his own career and racing in two races and not remembering a shred of either race after the fact
- Friend of the program Kyle Busch and why he’s the favorite heading into NASCAR’s playoffs
