It made me tear up DW always supported his little brother no matter what but the last 2 times mikey's won at daytona he didn't have to worry if his buddy was alright after a wreck on turn 4 congrats to mikey him and dale jr dominated the plate races back in the day always the blue napa car and the red bud car in the front those were the days that I wish nascar could go back too
I always loved how supportive Darrell was of Michael. Everyone knows that Darrell was a million times better than him but Darrell is just so humble and wants to give his brother all of the praise. True brotherly love!
I won’t lie, watching this 8 years later I can feel the emotion. I know Michael felt some form of closure in winning that 10 years later. Hearing DW in the booth saying what he said really brought the emotion. I know Dale was probably looking down with a big smile
I was really glad to see Michael win this, 10 years to the day where he won his first Daytona 500 and Dale Earnhardt's fatal crash. RIP Dale, Nascar still isn't the same.
This was pretty awesome for a guy who loves the sport. He was jipped of celebrating his first, he never forgot Dale. He always mentions the Earnhardt family and gives them praise.
I honestly think the reason people hate on Mikey so much is jealousy. Won two Daytona 500s, a multi millionaire, had a smokeshow of a wife. Sure he crashed a lot, but Elliott Sadler crashed just as much and never got the hate.
Sometimes those who need healing from an incident that shapes their whole life, finds it years later in an unexpected way. Im glad Mikey got his. Srs death really affected him deeply.
Ik and it's so sad him and his wife split because the death played such a big role but I'm sure his ex wife seen this and was just as happy as the 2 daytona wins mikey deserves every win that he had
I feel so Bad for Mikey too I don't like seeing him Cry because it's Heart Breaking I remember Watching the news about Earnhardt Sr.'s Death I was saddened when I heard about Dale Earnhardt Sr. passing away
this is great. racing is so much more than winning, especially when its so special like this. the emotion, the reactions. its great. speechless and thankful.
That damage reminds me of Mark Marton at Martinsville. He had rear damage and his spoiler was WAAAYY up in the air. Martin said after the race that he could almost go full throttle through to corner at martinsville. He gained 13 spots in the last three laps.
The broken spoiler was a result of the team drilling small holes in the back of the spoiler so that it would flex back and have extra speed on straightaways.
This teared me up watching live cause now they can have a happy celebration with nothing sad following it like back in 01 with his boss dale sr passing away
I’m not saying nascar is rigged but, 10 years later, to the day Michael wins a Daytona race. Then, in the same weekend, the Daytona 500 was won by a 20 years old, it took Dale 20 years to win the Daytona 500. After that, in the summer Nationwide race at Daytona, Dale Jr won in the 3 car, 10 years after his fathers death. Also in the same year, at homestead, tony Stewart wins his 3rd Nascar championship. In the 2018 Daytona 500, Austin Dillion, 20 years after Dale won, wins in the 3 car.
Having half a spoiler break like that doesn’t give that much more speed. Yes it’s less drag but the other one was still up and with how tail happy all of the NASCAR’s are he shouldn’t have been able to get it around any corners and be going straight at that speed with that uneven amount of downforce. The fact that he was able to and make a move was not easy I guarantee you that.
When it happens under normal circumstances then NASCAR will bring the driver into the pits to get it repaired. On the last lap there's no time to, so, no penalty.
I think by this time Michael Waltrip had been retired or was running a part time schedule i think he was calling the the truck races at that time and they had Darrell there to replace him
Sorry, but the end to this race was a joke. Before anyone whines at me, let me explain why. Mikey's rear spoiler was broken & the commentators noticed that under the lasst caution, so surely the NASCAR officials had to notice it, but of course they did nothing. Mikey may have gotten his vengeance win, but it was NOT a legit win...
My favorite part of this is how Darrell said "You got it! Mikey!" just like when Michael won the Daytona 500 in 2001.
It made me tear up DW always supported his little brother no matter what but the last 2 times mikey's won at daytona he didn't have to worry if his buddy was alright after a wreck on turn 4 congrats to mikey him and dale jr dominated the plate races back in the day always the blue napa car and the red bud car in the front those were the days that I wish nascar could go back too
@@loganeads3411 the sad part is that it’s the same race Earnhardt Sr died in. :(
Everytime i hear Darrel yell "Mikey!" I start tearing up
It's powerful for sure
Same
It's simple, but yet so powerful if you know the context of it.
I always loved how supportive Darrell was of Michael. Everyone knows that Darrell was a million times better than him but Darrell is just so humble and wants to give his brother all of the praise. True brotherly love!
Micheal Waltrip was a good friend and former Driver for Dale Earnhardt Sr, I bet he was proud watching.
AdamGropper AG53 used to tell Michael he’d win if he had his equipment
I cried..... No place for lies here, I cried.
Same.
BrokenGames same
Same here, no shame in it
Me too. 😢😢😢😢😢
Only because we miss Dale.
I won’t lie, watching this 8 years later I can feel the emotion. I know Michael felt some form of closure in winning that 10 years later. Hearing DW in the booth saying what he said really brought the emotion. I know Dale was probably looking down with a big smile
Given the circumstances of this win, you just can't dislike this unless you don't have a heart.
DW called the finish almost the same way he did the '01 500.
Symphony_K I had a lump in my throat thinking someone died.
That's how you know it was rigged.
@@mattakastarkill3r402lol huh ??
You can tell how much Earnhardt meant to everyone.
And plus not just everyone but the whole sport
Gotta be one of Darrell's all time favorite moments
I was in tears when he won this race 10 years after we lost Dale and I couldn’t believe it!
Missing Dale sr. but 10 years later we still miss you.. Micheal said it best... god bless him
Unbelievable when Dale Jr comes back in the 3 car and wins the race and Michael comes back in the #15 and wins the race exactly 10 years later.
I was really glad to see Michael win this, 10 years to the day where he won his first Daytona 500 and Dale Earnhardt's fatal crash.
RIP Dale, Nascar still isn't the same.
I teared up and was so glad Michael Waltrip won.
This was pretty awesome for a guy who loves the sport. He was jipped of celebrating his first, he never forgot Dale. He always mentions the Earnhardt family and gives them praise.
I like how they got the Sadler brothers together too
I honestly think the reason people hate on Mikey so much is jealousy. Won two Daytona 500s, a multi millionaire, had a smokeshow of a wife. Sure he crashed a lot, but Elliott Sadler crashed just as much and never got the hate.
No everyone hates him because he is one of the worst drivers in nascar history
+Cj Buford I agree. Mikey is my favorite driver.
+Cj Buford i never knew they hated him.
+Zach Whetstine I wouldnt say that, nor would Dale Earnhardt, he had faith in Waltrip when nobody else did, and then he won the daytona 500
Curt Schilldog
twice in fact.
That's certainly some lucky damage for Michael. Good for him.
My god. Let him enjoy the moment and stop making him relive Dale's death.
a.k.a: Waltrip brothers vs Sadler brothers on final 2 laps on Daytona 250.
Sometimes those who need healing from an incident that shapes their whole life, finds it years later in an unexpected way. Im glad Mikey got his. Srs death really affected him deeply.
Ik and it's so sad him and his wife split because the death played such a big role but I'm sure his ex wife seen this and was just as happy as the 2 daytona wins mikey deserves every win that he had
I feel so Bad for Mikey too I don't like seeing him Cry because it's Heart Breaking I remember Watching the news about Earnhardt Sr.'s Death I was saddened when I heard about Dale Earnhardt Sr. passing away
Damn sr was there tonight. It was almost perfect. The same day 10 years to the date.
this is great. racing is so much more than winning, especially when its so special like this. the emotion, the reactions. its great. speechless and thankful.
I love it when Micheal wins a race Darrell is calling, best stuff ever!
When I see Napa In nascar I always think it's Michael waltrip.
That damage reminds me of Mark Marton at Martinsville. He had rear damage and his spoiler was WAAAYY up in the air. Martin said after the race that he could almost go full throttle through to corner at martinsville. He gained 13 spots in the last three laps.
penalizing mike is biggest mistake cause broken spoiler isnt mike fault... But glad he keeps the win it brings great memories..
+Michael Benedict the broken spoiler makes the truck a lot harder to control you know that right?
It also makes it really fucking fast
The broken spoiler was a result of the team drilling small holes in the back of the spoiler so that it would flex back and have extra speed on straightaways.
@@MurphyMonster approximately how much more extra speed?
how about that!! 0 Dislikes. Looks like some people are growing up
My god has it really been 8 years since this race
11 now
This teared me up watching live cause now they can have a happy celebration with nothing sad following it like back in 01 with his boss dale sr passing away
And Darrell Waltrip sounded just like he did in 2001 called the 500
At this point this was a broken man. This win was definitely salvation for him after what he'd been through the past few years.
I wish the entire race was on youtube, but I have not seen it yet.
I didn't know DRS was allowed in NASCAR XD
jpyt845 lol 😂
That is funny great observation
Saved enough KERS for that final stretch as well.
If thus was F1, he'd get nailed for a "movable aerodynamic device" 😂
what do you mean rules are rules ? you cant penalize someone for damage that he didnt intntionally do and those are actually the rules
You are not human, if this doesn't make you cry
Lot of built up emotion for Mikey here. SO much pain he has endured and to have that win is extremely special. I love NASCAR.
Can I cry? 😭😭
Sometimes, moments like this happen when needed the most. Healing
So in all, Michael Waltrip had 4 Cup wins, 11 Xfinity wins, and this Truck win, for a total of 16 career wins. Not too bad actually.
LMAO, if you are calling 16 wins out of 1072 races run over 33 years, not to many with a worse record % wise.
@@52Rambler Remember there are some drivers who never won in ANY series.
@@CJODell12 NOOOOOOOO way, really??? I would never ever have thought that!! lol
@@52Rambler I'm just saying he wasn't the worst driver out there. Not by a long shot.
@@52Rambler And he's one of only 34 drivers in history to have a win in all 3 Top NASCAR series.
So much emotion. Good job
It’s Darrel waltrip calling his brother that makes it so emotional
I’m not saying nascar is rigged but, 10 years later, to the day Michael wins a Daytona race. Then, in the same weekend, the Daytona 500 was won by a 20 years old, it took Dale 20 years to win the Daytona 500.

In the 2018 Daytona 500, Austin Dillion, 20 years after Dale won, wins in the 3 car.
Sometimes fate happens. Healing happens in the least expected ways.
So cool!🏁
I love Michael Waltrip 💗💋
Darrell's reaction to mikey winning the truck race sounded a lot like his reaction when mikey won the 2001 Daytona 500
Jeffrey Earnhardt wow top 10
Mikey was and is a great driver. If he had the right equipment he would’ve been special
so the win stood, did he get fined or penalized for the spoiler damage?
MW is awsome when it comes 2 Daytona, talledaga , and sometimes charlot
Darell tried to replicate the call but couldn’t because of the emotion..... sad
I dont remember video quality being this bad back in 2011.
you guys really know how Mikey won?
Steventhe2nd the help by Dale
nate smith exactly right
maggots are eating dale
@@User-nu6km and one day theyll be eating you. What's the difference? No one will give a damn
@@User-nu6km the difference is dale will be remembered, you'll be forgotten
That was flat out beautiful
darrell was talking to mikey just before hermie interviewed elliott... odd?
And Just Like 2001, There Was An Earnhardt Running In The Top 10
when i saw this i was hysteric. my two favortie drivers jennifer jo cobb and mikey in the top 5 GO COBB AND MIKEY!!!!!
When he said dales name I broke down
10 years to the day! Good job!
Mikey!!!!!!!
Love the truck roar
Didn’t he get fined?
Anybody else find it odd that on the last lap Michaels rear spoiler just happened to break and give him all that extra speed?
Having half a spoiler break like that doesn’t give that much more speed. Yes it’s less drag but the other one was still up and with how tail happy all of the NASCAR’s are he shouldn’t have been able to get it around any corners and be going straight at that speed with that uneven amount of downforce. The fact that he was able to and make a move was not easy I guarantee you that.
Did anyone notice that Jennifer Jo Cobb finished in the top 10? Her only best finish in her career
Darrell in the both and Micheal in the 15 2001 500 all over again
But no Earnhardts
Eric Monaco yes true
We all know Mikey had a passenger that night
@NascarGoose Dale was the Greatest Legend we ever loved.
Mikey's daughter is looks beatiful. Michael is just amazing
So nobody is gonna mention the spoiler?
I can’t stand the Waltrips but this was a very cool moment and nice to look back on
@showtruck86 Hermie is older by nearly 6 years,I do believe!!!
Michael Waltrip did an amazing job in this race, I think Dale Earnhardt Sr helped him to win this race.
I think it's much more likely that his rear spoiler breaking on the final lap contributed to his massive speed the last lap.
8:50 Even when he's emotional he still is a goofer
The spoiler going down was the reason he passed. Less drag on the straight.
i love michael warltrip
I think Dale reached down and undid the bolts on that spoiler to help Michael out.
“I mean, I don’t even know those guys”
Never wanna be that sitting duck up front for this exact reason lol
So is Michaels daughter Darrells niece or something?
When it happens under normal circumstances then NASCAR will bring the driver into the pits to get it repaired. On the last lap there's no time to, so, no penalty.
Why did DW call this race? I'm glad he did but forget why.
I think by this time Michael Waltrip had been retired or was running a part time schedule i think he was calling the the truck races at that time and they had Darrell there to replace him
He did it for Dale.
Very much.
I choked up a little bit...
go michael waltrip
You obviously didn't read my comment...
Ultimate23Dragon i did
How many time are we going to here Rick Allen say Elliot Sadler Michael Waltrip 1 and 2.
I bet Dale was smiling in his grave and in Heaven
I'm a man but I'll admit it! I cried
I'm an asshole for countering NASCAR with their own rules!?... o_O
yeah exactly
It broke after the restart I thought
Hermie Sadler interviewed his own younger brother. #SupportAutism
........ After that penalty-ruined win, The team Waltrip was on made 1 or 2 last starts with F1 driver Rahkonnen(??????) Then the team stopped racing.
Sorry, but the end to this race was a joke. Before anyone whines at me, let me explain why. Mikey's rear spoiler was broken & the commentators noticed that under the lasst caution, so surely the NASCAR officials had to notice it, but of course they did nothing. Mikey may have gotten his vengeance win, but it was NOT a legit win...
!?...
What the freak-o-zoid does that mean!? Sorry for being honest about how NASCAR officials messed this up!
Old guys winning
I don't even know those guys. Hi Y'all. LMAO!!!
That was a pass.
