I watched most of it. I thought it was well made and gave an description of "Mikey's" Nascar career. I never really was a fan of Waltrip as a driver but, after watching the documentary, I started to think that he was a better driver than what his stats indicated. Funny story about Waltrip that I witnessed first hand. A good 20 years or so ago, I had the opportunity to attend a press luncheon held at the Dave & Busters in Philly in support of the September Dover Speedway "Cup" race. At this particular luncheon, Michael Waltrip was the guest Nascar cup driver. After the luncheon, a question and answer session was held. One of the reporters asked Waltrip what it would take to win the Dover race. Waltrip thought about it for a bit and answered, "Be the 1st car across the finish line on the last lap". The room broke out into laughter. I've come to gain a repsect for Waltrip, for his humor and his insight into the sport. Scott Ely
