In his early years, Waltrip was a bit of a rebel. As a teenager he was arrested nine times.[15] His family moved to a new town when Waltrip was 17, and he dropped out of high school to pursue a racing career. When he was still a teenager, he dropped out of school for a while and joined a rock band called The Mighty Flyers. Waltrip was also a member of the band's road crew at one point. In 1968, Waltrip was hired by NASCAR as a tire changer, but he didn't last long in that job. In his autobiography, Waltrip said that the only reason he was hired was because "someone from the racing syndicate thought I looked fast."[16]
Waltrip's first race for a full-time team was at the 1969 Daytona 500. He did not impress his employers and did not last long in the series. In 1970, he did some races for Wood Brothers Racing, and later the following year, the team owner gave him a ride.
Darrell Lee Waltrip (born February 5, 1947) is an American motorsports analyst, author, national television broadcaster, and former racing driver. He is also a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion (1981, 1982, 1985) and a three-time NASCAR Cup Series runner-up (1979, 1983, 1986). Posting a modern NASCAR series record of 22 top five finishes in 1983 and 21 top five finishes both in 1981 and 1986, Waltrip won 84 NASCAR Cup Series races, including the 1989 Daytona 500, a record five in the Coca-Cola 600 (formerly the World 600) (1978, 1979, 1985, 1988, 1989), and a track and Series record for any driver at Bristol Motor Speedway with 12 (seven consecutive from 1981 to 1984). Those victories tie him with Bobby Allison for fourth on the NASCAR's all-time wins list in the Cup Series and place him second to Jeff Gordon for the most wins in NASCAR's modern era.
