DJD Classics - Darrell Waltrip - Cheatin' Stories

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s epic sit-down interview with NASCAR Legend Darrell Waltrip delivers never-before-told stories and more. Ole DW shares some of the best cheatin' stories you'll ever hear. Some may call it cheating. Others, call it creativity. DW says that they were not "rule breakers," but rather, "rule makers" in their hey-day. Surprisingly Waltrip admits to using lead-shot and nitrous in racecars, as well as heavy radios and trick helmets. 

The driver known by some as "Jaws" for his mouthy, but entertaining nature, details what it was like to drive for noted moonshiner and NASCAR Hall of Famer Junior Johnson. How did he get from Junior's ride to Rick Hendrick's stable? It's a story that you'll never believe. Speaking of Junior Johnson, Darrell reveals how his car owner's stubbornness may have cost him a NASCAR Cup Series Championship.

Waltrip talks about run-ins with Dale Earnhardt and his rough nature off-track as a friend. He also admits how driving for Dale Earnhardt's team saved his career. From driving a forklift to racing with Dale and Dale Jr. in Japan, the stories are plentiful.

Plus, DW discusses his early days on the short tracks of Nashville and how he went from a house filled with four-letter words, to media-darling racecar driver and broadcaster.
