Statement from Steve Phelps on the Retirement of Darrell Waltrip

Darrell Waltrip

For nearly five decades, few people have been as synonymous with NASCAR as Darrell Waltrip. A Hall of Famer on the track and in the booth, Waltrip brought quick wit, tireless passion and a wealth of stock car racing knowledge to millions of NASCAR fans on FOX for 19 seasons.

"We are grateful for Waltrip’s many contributions to the sport over the past 47 years, both as a champion driver and broadcaster. On behalf of everyone at NASCAR, we wish DW all the best in retirement." NASCAR President Steve Phelps
