Michael Waltrip wins NASCAR truck race at Daytona. The victory comes on the 10-year anniversary of his maiden NASCAR win -- a feat overshadowed by Dale Earnhardt's death.
Michael Waltrip won at Daytona International Speedway Friday night on the 10-year anniversary of his first NASCAR victory, the one marred by the death of Dale Earnhardt.
Waltrip passed Elliott Sadler in the closing stretch of the season-opening trucks series race, then celebrated an emotional victory a decade after his car owner died on the last lap of the Daytona 500.
Waltrip, who became the 22nd driver to win races in each of NASCAR's top three series, had tears in his eyes as he talked about what the win meant.
