Darrell Waltrip's Victory Tour 2000

Darrell Waltrip's legendary NASCAR career ended in the year 2000, and he dubbed his final season as his "Victory Tour." Unfortunately, his second season with Haas-Carter Motorsports proved just as turbulent as the year in which it took place. A combination of injuries, mechanical failures, and tragedies pushed the 53-year-old veteran to the limit. But, as he always did, "Ol' D.W." endured. This is that story.
