Darrell Waltrip Fights, Arguments and Temper

their cheerleader number eleven Walter's going down into the fern battle is worth taking place wheel-to-wheel they go and fought it takes it Neal bot is going to the second spot and now he's trying to close trying to move in on his teammate push man cracks on the backs right away three cars into the wall coming out of turn number two well back from the leader coming around for a white flag and a white in the caution it's over 88 Rusty Wallace is trashed 88 Wallace his crash we're trying to have you take a look at it a replay here he cops caution is out number 88 Wallace finishing up in a place is parked at a car on fire it is car number 22 Allison's car coming down for the finish the winner is going to be car number 11 will win it 12 pulls up beside him but they were under caution Richard Petty is crashing coming out of turn number four Richard Cuddy had just bought it looked at his car light right in the center of the track 11 pulls up did he win it yeah no one on their feet I'm sure he wanted sure he was and he will go to Victory Lane because the caution came out as the white flag had been thrown the previous lap when they came down for the white flag yellow was on the track they're saying that Neil Bonnett won the race and now they're joining the board that Neil Bonnett one race here is the 11 car coming down hold the phone wait for the decision what do you think Benny I think I'm confused I don't know what I think junior Johnson's crew down there around the number 11 the 12 is involved they both came across together now number 11 pulls back on the track he's going to the scales to put gas in the car car number 11 going back car number 12 coming back out Neil Bonnett coming out he's white for yellow the squad will take it Neil Bonnett will have it on white and yellow new Bonnie Wanderers we're going to take a look at it again what a night and what a finish here in Nashville now they're taking the number down they're putting up number 11 I think they'll walk before the race is that said a moment ago get well they've just taken down number 12 and they're putting up number 11 well Dave Despain was working his way down to Victory Lane but who's he going to talk to right as well talk to Rusty Wallace at this point the third position near the poles and number five and the fourth position was car number 15 Ricky Rudd and the fifth position was Ron Bouchard the question is whose first draw hands on first the people would plant a comedy routine right now Benny weird a glassed-in booth area we can see the fans is clemens they're all turn around looking that's it who won the race they put 12 on the board again this is gonna be one they're gonna talk about for a long time to come now let's take a look at the replay Benny Parsons this looks so fishel this this good all right here they come but the question is is whether the caution flag waved yep girls on the inside the abundance on the outside on the I so but you know when is the caution flag does it wave the lap before that's what I want to know till they come to the line I agree that Leo Bunny but we're gonna say we'd be through the way come on here they are coming to the stripe and there's the car number 12 out there question is which is the flag okay now he feed him to the start/finish line on the 420th lap but my opinion is that the caution flag was out on the 419 that sort of thing I agree with you I thought it on the 419 flap that we saw yellow white if we can get down let's go to Dave Despain Lane wins the race Neil did you win it or did darrell waltrip win it well I know I took the checkered flag up to then I don't know what happened last few laps I have a flint just before that last caution to read my foot out and after that I couldn't see honey laughs was left or what I'm you'll just have to try to get back I don't know whatever at that point you just charged for it the officials are still trying to sort it out in your mind when did you get around Darrell Waltrip pastel in the fourth turn up there I don't know you know it's probably their judgment you know jr. and Doug and all guys at heck of job we just did everything we possibly do it's in their hands now and speaking of hands how is yours you drove this race with a broken wrist and obviously it didn't hamper you too badly I'll tell you something about to kill me I called him about an hour ago and my son's been cramping I can't move in and it's all cramped up but this thing here might make me forget about it in a situation like this when there's great controversy what do you do do you jump into the middle of this or do you let jr. handle it I've done everything I can do I've rode my 420 miles up there well the first guy to Victory Lane is Neil Bonnett how long it'll take to find out who won the race maybe another question Ken the issue would seem to be not the 420th laughs Benny but 419 feather there's Darrell Waltrip I felt like that the white and caution both wave and in those circumstances in grand national races once you take the Cox bike and go across the start/finish line you can't pass you get it we're gonna get a word with and you can tell that there's a very angry of or not angry but concerned Darrell Waltrip there and we'll try to get a word with him in just a moment it's not what I understand it's what's right and what I saw the white and the yellow came out together that's the end of the race you know I think there is a Darrell Waltrip walking away with his crew going back into into his pit area walking down and away well you heard him say yeah caution as far as he was concerned he saw caution and white that's right he's not going to victory lane that's true years while Jeff keeps him side by side down to the inside Oh for car there goes their boat hide into the fence Joe Ruttman spins around who's going to win the race horse cow Betty kyle petty slow down he's going slow caution let's go win 397 I think Kyle's going to take it home Joe Ruttman gets going again I think he's gonna run Simon car number three comes around all beaten up wild finish here at Richmond let's take a look again Benny here they were they're going down the back straightaway ironheart drives in the right rear quarter of Walter takes him southbound makes himself out twenty-six Joe Ruttman he can't get you without spending their Brooklyn gets through but he spent bo9 spins in on the outside of the we see him obscure it up there but he spins and hits the outside retaining wall there's Darrell Waltrip sure ballet and it is torn up the way it stalled on the back straightaway he can't go any farther that's as far as it'll go Kyle Petty is headed for Victory Lane a disappointed discouraged Waltrip trying to gather himself up climbing out cloudy was going to victory lane instead he's going to take that one over to the boneyard there's nothing left of car number 11 today he did a great job getting that very clear he and Earnhardt had some shop swap some sheet metal down in turns one and two let's go quickly to Jerry Jarrett they learn heart what was your view on what happened in that accident well sign of it old arrow we got in a well both racing all day or do you think it was gonna come down to that oh you know I'm hoping with the race on but uh we just hung up congratulation no colleagues you know you're setting the right place right time who do you feel hit who on that last thing which were you and Daryl I just racing I ain't going on you know man Darrell's got a race week wait you ain't under ok obviously not too anxious to talk about it too much more [Music] forget it going next a hairband Rusty's trying to get underneath him just a moment ago we saw the right rear tire smoke on Rusty's car from the other ankle rusty trying desperate to get under he touches Darrell Waltrip at the left rear around goes there absolutely was rusty Staub there's no question about that they were just both trying very hard rusty possibly traveling too hard the lamps under yellow the last ten laps don't count let's go to the pits Jerry punch we're with very Dodson mostly wallets as crew chief and repair e what at rusty tell you happened out there put him and Daryl he said he got under Daryl in and everything got closed I guess they both I guess Darrell didn't give him any room and not and evidently they touched he didn't really know he said he got down under clean all of a sudden he was gone rusty Wallace's version is lack of racing room coming out of turn four that's the reason for the spin he says fault Wallace with a Pontiac power I guess Wallace picks up $200,000 and the Winston the Winston has been one I'm Jack arute here in victory lane at the end of the Winston and Rusty Wallace has wanted a little bit controversial II though yeah you know it's just a this is a this ten laps it's a rough 10 laughs man you got to drive hard Darrell driving hard I was driving hard I got up underneath and coming off the turn four we just got together he come down I still try to help my group as well just touch that's all there was to it you know I would rather finish the race me win it and nothing like that happening but you know it happened this way in 87 and I don't think those guys were doing that on purpose either and I didn't have nothing to do with you in the purpose it was a tough race I'm sorry for Darrell glad we won like to thank Kodiak Pontiac Mobil 1 AC sparkplugs everybody Paul that's it from Victory Lane well Rusty Wallace picks up two hundred thousand dollars but this was earlier as you can see that tempers are hot when there's that much money on the line as quite a fight broke out just outside of the winner's circle here officials and other team members moved in trying to break it up put on for just a few minutes so when you have that much money you just naturally have a confrontation and that's what we've seen today well a lot of emotions here in the tide truck and Darrell one of them was anger when you guys got back here what happened those last couple laps poor god I was a little bit loosen three and four and I guess rusty saw that so coming down to get the white flag he just drove in under me up there and just turned me around it didn't take a lot but you know with some people you know how they are so if you open the door I guess you get what the I guess you can expect something like that it was uncalled for I could never race I could never walk through this garage area having done that to someone but some people can and more power to them I guess Darrell after the race there was an altercation outside of Victory Lane of both of the crews getting together a little bit that what are your feelings about that well the motion is high you know this is a this is a show and it's sort of like the animals are getting a little tense right there at the end of the show and one of them might bite you so the tension was high that was totally uncalled for out there and I think it on most of said about his NASCAR first of all not putting me back in the lead because they went back to the last green flag left they said I was leading that lap second of all that they don't put a stop to something like that that's that's the two things I think are so wrong and I guess you know we'll have to live with all that stuff I guess everybody got what they paid for today Darrell rumor does that Rick Hendrick may protest the finish but calls the rules stating that you Mike should have been back up front know what I don't know what you did do you know we can't go back around the thing over and I he's absolutely correct I mean you can't go back until the last green lap and not put it back like it was they put everybody else back like he was and I didn't spin out I got knocked out so I should have been allowed to go back to the front if you're gonna do it right I mean to me that's what they they just took two hundred thousand dollars away from me and told that boy that what he did was a ok do it again but if you got to that's Terrell Waltrip let's go to Jack arute Jack I'm here with less richter is the vice president competition for NASCAR unless what's the official ruling on the finish of this race well right at this point in time now Rusty Wallace is the winner in Winston and he finds anticipated for not only what happened on the racetrack but the altercation that this fight after the race I think the altercation of the fistfight is going to draw some attention as far as the incident that took place in the racetrack those two cars racing for the finish and it got together one came down one might have gone up it's hard to say we are looking at it from a different perspective than maybe a television cameras that's the word from NASCAR and they certainly do have the last word in competition here in the Winston Ricky Rudd now is in the lead coming off the second quarter now he gets it again a Davey Allison is back the third he and David [Music] nice save didn't hit anything the break they need for their last caution flag afford their last pit stop at the Darrell computer turned around what you look like [Music] we'll be okay he really isn't going to lose a whole lot and bless that pump we damaged the car in some way that's pretty pretty level ground that there was some travel now you can see Darrell Waltrip and Davey Allison having a discussion as they had a meeting of their two cars earlier in the race that sent Darrell sliding through the front stretch right back the leader of the race right now is Davey Allison here's dr. punch well indeed the leader right now the defending champion of the valley del meets 500 and Davi at last restart that could have been what gave you the wind what happened do you think or any amount of mr. shifter did you just catch him not going into one no I was on cooler tires fresher tires and Ernie was and I think he spun the wheels a little bit coming off before over there when it did it just gave me a jump you know we've been racing heart and cars driving really good though I got a hand it to Larry McReynolds all the guys on the crew they've worked really hard all day making the adjustments that I've asked for you know we've just been riding the hunt all day long it has been a difficult day from the top to the bottom of the field contact almost every lap well you know this restart stuff has been a mess and you know we got to do something different we've got to do something different because it's just getting look at all the torn up race cars around here what happened over there you and Darrell Waltrip and you were penalized put in the rear what actually went on out there well see when you're Darrell Waltrip you can get away with that kind of stuff and all you got to do is look at the side of my race car right here that's coming off the turn two and going into turn three with me on the outside and we got down there and I still had my month momentum up I raced him I went ahead and race him we come off the corner over there he jumped something front of him backs out again and there was nothing I could do when I hit him you know then he comes over here mouthing off at me but when you're Darrell Waltrip it's okay but anybody else you're not Davey Allison obviously upset but that continues to rain is gonna be a smile on this young man's face let's go over to John Kernan who's standing by with Darrell Waltrip we've heard from Davey now let's talk to Darrell his version of what happened out there that ended up David getting penalized you know and I'm really happy that he got penalized they need to be penalized and he just find me out you know it's it's real it's tough out there today and you have to use all the judgments you got you have to be careful and you don't run into somebody knock fire them on purpose and he's had a little bit of a problem with me and I don't know what it is that he gave me a finger last week down at Darlington when I was lap down I passed him that four tires went on today's fund me out we're gonna have to have a little talk I guess father-son tight well aside from that I heard you telling someone else you got hit nine times there just seemed that everybody was a little bit overanxious out there Luke too impatient the pit rules I've got everybody's so frustrated right now that you just have to do stupid things you get hung up on the outside I've got a fast race car I need to be up front I'm hung up on the outside every time and and I get booted up in that loose stuff and either hit the wall or run over somebody or wreck and so it's a this is a hardest mentally race I believe I have ever tried to run I started 22nd I'm pitting on the back straightaway that's bad enough and then the pit rule just makes it worse so I just pray to God if you'll get this thing straightened out it is killing a lot of us but y'all you were able to come to the front moving through the top five oh yeah yeah I'd be able to laugh the feel if I could get up every where I belong thank you very much Darrell gentlemen [Music] one involving darrell waltrip he's backed his Western Auto Chevy into the wall it's moving how [Music] to the outside the rear end of the car here's the caution flag being displayed the hairy hand as he comes down sorry we had to break away from that interview with brakes AG - is helping get that car back the race here is a replay Waltrip going into turn one contact what Jeff look like Jeff Bowden was trying to get under his parent the Darrell didn't see him and Darrell backs into the wall hard Brett load on that was the only one car involved was Darrell Waltrip with your right the Brett Jeff was trying to get under going in the corner just a little touch on the left rear [Music] drivers drive them around but that rear end dragons going sparks Marie punch is with Darrell Waltrip who brought out our second caution of the day well Darrell Waltrip has climbed out of what's left to the Western Auto Chevrolet in DW you had a pretty good run going what happened up there you know I'd like to tell you what really happened up here but I'm trying not to but there was a little driving number 15 and run over me what happened can you get it fixed DW no you know I'm moving all the way for everybody I moved up for him I guess I wonder enough obviously upset Darrell Waltrip hoping to get a good run here at Darlington as it's very tough to keep your cool and to of the race darrell waltrip apparently is out after that crash [Music] [Applause] into the card rail side of her side end-over-end and Davey Allison six fairies don't fall by crash Davey Allison this car is upside down fuel is pouring out of it the safety crew is right there it stopped just in front of one of the safety trucks [Music] position well let's go down to our of Kodak winner's circle interview here's dr. Jerry punch thank you very much Anna not excited at all not happy at all DW congratulations honey honey honey is it miss for the baby it's for you and Jessica and the baby mr. wonderful honey we made oh we didn't know gas mileage can you imagine she was worried about her gas much because she's figured it all my life are you talking about Stevie who's thanking Franklin watching at home watching OTV right now her and jessica lee love y'all now she's not close enough to have that baby jumping up and down having class couple laps well that's pretty close sometime you know in the next four five weeks oh honey just hold on I'll be home a little while how about the gas mileage did you think you could make it I know Jeff was talking to you I didn't think was good but he said we could so I just kept going and hitting out on the last lap and I know people get tired of hearing that but that's actually what happened coming back in and topping off that was the saving deal for us but the main thing is it's house they be doing you know he and I got together on that deal over there but it was nothing like a David he just kept cutting and cutting him when we hit he just turned and went right into the infield so I don't know I don't know what y'all so but we did get together well that's the first thing we might tell the folks almost the very first thing Darrell Waltrip fast when he jumped out of the car here it's how's Davey Allison will tell you Davey I think he has a broken right arm and may have a fracture above his left eye but otherwise it seems to be okay DW I'm sorry sorry that happened but you know we were all going for the same hole and then spent a long time well it's been a year ago this race or this spring race I guess so it's been almost a year but today is this car was good here in the spring and then we broke a gearbox today everything weren't good we shifted noble thing to do Darrell Waltrip in victory lane for the first time in 1992 let's go down trackside live join macula blues with Tony Stewart Matt Chris a few random incident starting with Bristol and Tony are people making too much about the on track stuff or there may be some hidden frustrations over the fact you haven't won yet this year ah there's no hidden frustrations I think the people that are blown it out of proportion are uh you know Mike joy and Larry McReynolds and Darrell Waltrip in the booth nobody else has been complaining about it you know Darrell or not Darrell but rusty and I talked when we saw each other you know two days ago at the airport we were just kind of laughing about it and shook hands and went on and you know our fans of Sedalia Missouri and and Knoxville I well they came out to watch us from the sprint car they stood out in the rain for a half hour and in the rain to get autographs so I just keep it's funny I keep watching the replays of the race after I get home and listening to Darrell and Mike joy and McReynolds it's like you keep watching the screen waiting on tattoo to come by and he's a little white tuxedo welcoming everybody to Fantasy Island well you look at your career in cup you've got 17 career wins but only one before the month of May three wins here gonna be tough or easy getting number four tonight well it's never getting easier in this series I mean the competition keeps getting tougher but it's it's because there's a lot of great race teams and a lot of great drivers out here and you know it can be done I mean NEVER I think the last one we won here we started 28 there back further back than that even so you know with a new surface you know we none of us really knew what to expect but we all watched the Busch race last night guys were able to get in the second groups that's encouraging for us and uh I think all the fans are really going to enjoy the race this weekend but you know the hardest thing for us this weekend you know we ran that eSGR car at California for for Richard Childress and our chopper pilot geez I can't remember Scott's last name now but from Paducah Kentucky he he's just got called back into active duty with the with a garden reserve so you know I lost my helicopter pilot and we'll we're just praying for him and hoping that he has a safe trip to Iraq and you know gets the business done at hand over there and gets home to us hey man yeah Jesse asked Tony telling this is a reality show and you know what we just talked about well I totally missed the other night when I was talking and we just talk about what we see and the one thing we see is a common denominator of him involved with a lot of other folks you know so I mean we're not picking on him we're just telling what we see DW says Tony that he's not picking on you he just is seeing what the video shows yeah I know Darryl's memory kind of gets a little screwed up sometimes I guess he forgets that with all the real changes he wants nascar to make you forget so if they changed the rules and took the champions provisional way he would've been able to race the last two years so I know Darrell is doing what he has to do is job but I think there's a lot of times what you see on the screen isn't the whole total story and I think they've I think they've done a real good job in the booth of blowing things away on a proportion like they normally do I guess that's probably what they need for ratings which I think our sports doing a pretty good job of rating so without having to butcher up what they see on the screen alright thanks very much for your time you know the truth is NASCAR did meet with Tony they haven't punished him yet but and and you weren't the only ones complaining rusty did complain kasey kahne complained Jeff Burt and other drivers have complained well it's like I told I talked to Tony I said look man there's a common denominator in all these situations and it's you and so that's the best luck that's all I can tell you and I don't need to defend people know you 184 raises three a cup championships I mean Tony Tony does have have one but he has yet to win a race this year and Jeff his crew they have felt the effects of this to some degree well I mean when you're ever the crew chief whenever you're part of the team and you've got to back your driver I mean whenever I worked for Darrell whatever kind of problems he got into they were my problems so if they're if Tony's catching a lot of flak well then Greg zip it down the whole team that they're the kind of team they're supposed to be they backed their driver they feel the heat again you know you don't need that because there's a tough business rent already when you're trying to win races you don't need that kind of adverse publicity I can tell you that and I tried to hurry I mean I was not the first guy that was a I tried to hire him to drive my race quality and I am a huge fan Tony's good for the sport because he does he's actually does win it he does have a personality I think a lot of drivers but so far and in NASCAR's eyes he hasn't done anything wrong on the track correct no I don't know I don't think he has okay J Darrell thinks otherwise that's why we're here you
