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
Damn I'm old because I remember both..

Well spoken, from one old guy to another!
Excellent analysis, I never really thought about it like that, I'm 45, I knew him as both.
But now thinking about it, you are absolutely correct. There's a whole generation of grown race fans that never knew the on-track Darrell Waltrip. People that don't remember the on-track fights between him and Earnhardt, and how Earnhardt called on him to Pilot one of his cars years later.
We were all surprised and extremely happy to see that, the NASCAR I love and remember.
I couldn’t have said it better. You are 100% exactly right.
Some of us remember both.
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.
Dale Sr wasn’t polarizing?
I don’t think he’s saying anything about dale. It’s common knowledge dale was polarizing., any non nascar fan would know this. In today’s day and age it’s easy to forget that Darrell was a polarizing character.
I won't mention Dale sr that's two easy. But look up Tim Richmond his picture is in the dictionary next to Polarizing
Before Ross Chastain
Before Kyle Busch
Heck, before Dale Earnhardt even started
There was the *B O O G I T Y*
Forgot Jeff Gordon.
@@TheOfficialRandomGuywho?
@@codycarpenter1672 Mike Jones.
Haha! The original Boogity man! 😂
But Earnhardt won his first championship before Darrell did. So, there's that.
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
💯
Based.
Also... today's race might have been his very last race as an announcer.
If thats the case... Darrell... it was an honour to be one of your fans.
Gotta love his 80 plus wins also wins are big in my eyes
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.
My family loves Mikey and Darrell
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
Brock only did narration, nascarman was the one who wrote the script
Yep it turns out it was the pace car drivers fault the running order got screwed up
Its literally confirmed by France Jr. that Darrell won.
"DW, leave that boy alone. That’s the first race he’s ever won and you’re going to win a lot more races." - Bill France Jr.
@@HirokaAkita that wasn't admitting that Darrell won, that was admitting that NASCAR screwed up and Darrell SHOULD have won. Even so, Bodine won, and even though it was NASCAR's fault, it was a different kind of error than most would think.
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.
The story of how he met his wife is PRICELESS.
I mean hell, I'd flip a car for that..
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.
He has said the wreck with Earnhardt at the 95 Winston was the beginning of the end of his career
Yeah, I remember him saying that on the DJD. But in 93 and 94 he wasn't as competitive as he was in 91 and 92. Even his last win at darlington he was near the back all race and almost went down a lap a couple of times. The 95 wreck was just the final nail in the coffin. He got beat up in 90, 91, and 95. I have no doubt all that was in the back of his mind and he decided that while he wanted to race, he couldn't be that risk taker that he used to be. Not with two lillte girls and a wife depending on him
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
Truly one of the best wheelmen of all time. Boy could drive the hell outta the car. Had as much talent and Earnhardt and Richmond
I choose to believe that Junior Johnson had a detonator because that would be awesome.
Waltrip has made claim that JJ told him that as soon as he went into turn one after talking the checkered flag, the motor was going to blow up.
D.W. wasn't in the spotlight. He WAS the spotlight
This channel is slowly but surely making me a NASCAR fan
The All Star race (also called the "Winston" as mentioned in the video) is this weekend at North Wilkesboro, a track NASCAR hasn't raced at since 1996. I definitely would recommend tuning in
@@jeffgordonfan2462 thanks man. As an NC native, wish I could go in person. I’ll give it a watch tho for sure. Any drivers I should root for?
@@malcolmalexander3352 in my opinion i would suggest William Byron & Denny Hamlin who are already in the main event, and Ty Gibbs who is the favorite to win the All Star Open & advance into the All Star race.
You can also look for drivers who might interest you based off of their paint scheme, driving style, & personality.
@@jeffgordonfan2462 lol I know a girl who dated Ty Gibbs. Heard mixed things about him. Looking at Byron tho he seems to be having a killer season. Def excited
I mean DEI hiring DW is the equivalent of Kyle Busch hiring Kevin Harvick or vice versa.
DW will forever be the GOAT
Darrell is just awesome. There was no watching racing without him. BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY LETS GO RACING BOYS!!!
The early 80s Cars were so fuckin sick. Just beautiful.
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 :)
after hearing Darrel's speech after dales death, it actually brought me to tears. he spoke all his words perfectly
Can we appreciate the time he puts into these videos we may not get video for month but they never fail🖤
He’s 6th on my all-time list. 1st on my commentators list. Can’t wait to see him in the booth this weekend.
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!💖🏎️💖
"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.
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
Forever a legend Darrel Waltrip🫡
BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY FOR US ONE MORE TIME IN WILKESBORO DARREL!!!!!!
They called him Jaws 'cause he chewed up the competition in the late 70s and early 80s
Such a great video. Never let us down Elly
damn, I had no idea Darrell Waltrip originally wanted to do IndyCar
Thank you for uploading this video. You are becoming the EMPlemon of Nascar. Keep it up Man.
Emp should make more NASCAR content. I feel as though he had a love for the sport at one time
@@LeftyGretzkyProbably won’t get him the views his other stuff does, though
Darrell Waltrip is STRONGLY underrated.
One of the overlooked GOATS
DW drove them old boys crazy, he was good, and he let you know it
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. 🤷♂
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 always get so excited when ellyproductions posts, cause I know it’s going to be great
The Terraria underground music caught me by surprise, but safe to say i’m not complaining :D
Would’ve had a helluva career as a wrestling manager! 😂
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…
"I guess he's alright, isn't he" has to be one of the most polarizing calls in the history of any sport
some of the best motorsport content on RUclips, good work.
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.
How the heck do you not have more subs!!! Great video!!
babe wake up ellyproductions49 put out another banger video
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 👍
I just ran across your channel, and I gotta say your production quality is on point.
When I see Jaws video I click.
jaws, 1 minute posted 1 minute ago
I think i hated every lap that man completed in a NASCAR but missed him like hell when he was gone.
Man i miss DW in the booth. Mike Joy lost his fastball and clint bowyer is a doofus
Another well-thought out and put together essay, I absolutely love the content.
i love your videos man, another great upload
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.
Three championships, forty-nine Cup wins, owning a team with two championships itself, owning racetracks and racing series, and still competitive in sprint cars and Top Alcohol dragsters? And, he was a winner up to his retirement from Cup. So, yeah, Tony can talk
@@arthuralford yeah well, Waltrip got 84 wins, a Daytona 500 win, and 2 of his 3 championships were among the most dominant in the sport's history. Tony may be the most talented American in motorsports history, but his NASCAR career doesn't come close.
@@GoodOlRoll Lmfao I’ll take Tony’s accomplishments over Darrell’s every day of the week. Twice on Sunday
Tony 3 Championships, Darrell 2.
Tony: 2 championships as an owner, Darrell none.
Tony 93 total race wins as an owner (69 in cup), Darrell 25.
Darrell 84 wins, Tony 49
And Tony did all that it in what is statistically the most competitive era in NASCAR (2000-2014)
And that’s just NASCAR. Let alone the Indy championship Tony has, the multiple USAC championships, etc.
@@quackers584 1, Darrell won 3. 2 of those were in a row with 12 wins each. 2, out of Tony's 3, 2 of them are among the weakest championship seasons in NASCAR history. 3, I never debated Tony's accomplishments as an owner compared to Darrell, just as a driver. 4, I never debated Tony's accomplishments in other series either, just in NASCAR as a driver. 5, Darrell is tied for 4th on the all-time wins list while Tony is tied for 15th.
Tony's a great team owner, as as I previously stated, arguably the most talented American in motorsports history. I'm just stating that Tony really has no room to talk about the final 2 years of Waltrip's career in Cup when Tony finished behind Danica Patrick in points in 2014 and only got a top 15 points run in 2015 because of "win and you're in".
@@GoodOlRoll AJ Foyt is the most talented American in motorsports history in my opinion and Tony would tell you the same thing.
Thank you man your videos are always awesome keep up the great work
That Intro is pure gold.
What a story, always so great. Then the piece with dale 🥹
Amazingly well done video, grest emotion taken out of it.
Keep it up!
''oh jaws wrecked me again''
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
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.
He would drive the car as fast as he would run his mouth
The greatest ever !!!!!!!!!!!😎🙏🇺🇸👍
Waltrip drinks Bud Light.
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 crew! Very nice work!
I miss dw commentating so bad bro
That was excellent. Really enjoyed it. Bravo!
This was great content!~ Thank you~
God I love this guy
Amazing story telling
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
That thumbnail is great
Great Video As Always!!
Darrel is to nascar as Martin Brundle is to F1
F1 doesnt even comes close to the off-track lore complexity the NASCAR has. Its just 1 guy from the richest team that keeps winning with 10+ seconds lead all season long and you are gobbling on that until the guy retires. There is nothing even remotely engaging or exciting about that.
Ur prob my fav nascar channel ngl
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.
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.
Waltrip was one of my favorites.
So Darrell Waltrip is the Dusty Rhodes of NASCAR.
Got it.
Racing history videos are the best
love this vid
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
I love the Team Fortress 2 OST at 8:50. And the terraria music. Mans a gamer as well.
Common EllyProductions W
You deserve so many more views
something i love about youtube, and it happens A LOT, is coming to some random non-video game video and hearing MUSIC FROM TERRARIA!
This is truly how you get me to watch a video. Photoshop Darrel into the jaws poster lmao
Phenomenal video.
only darrell flips a car in his girlfriends yard
I miss dw in the broadcast but I know he’s getting up there and age and needs to be with his family
The race at Wilksboro in 1990 was won by Brett Bodine, a channel by the name of nascarman history does a great deep dive about it
very well done brotha!
That 22 High Life car is such a heater
yooo new ellyproductions video
DW❤
