I almost forgot Mikey actually won some of these races where he and Dale teamed up for the one two finish. It always seems to be him blocking for Jr. Just sucks Steve Park never became an actual tag partner. DEI was the next big thing since 2001, if Dale Sr was still alive, DEI would have been like Henrdick right now, not Joe Gibbs Racing (which is one of my teams).

That waltrip 3 car block was amazing at around 3:35! Great great nascar race I'll never forget it. People don't realize how great Mikey was in 01-03 in the super speed ways. 03 Mikey was amazing and took 2 restrictor wins and a 2nd place to dale. That's amazing

This has got to be Michael's most impressive win... His car had the wrong gear, which made him struggle in the pack. Despite that, he was able to get the lead late in the race and literally "block" the whole field. Great job by Michael.

@Jones John- Man i totally agree. I was at the 2011 Aaron's 499. The finish was pretty good, but the rest of the race stunk. I would have given anything to have went to one of these races with this engine. I love the sound of these restrictor plate engines. The new ones sound like crap. These not only sound good, but really makes the cars sound like they are wound out to max RPM.

@mattbachman, safety is more important than anything, that is why they have these new cars. Plus, the new cars don't take as much damage as the old cars do, and they are more resistant and stick to the track for less accidents, and the downforce straightens the cars out.

To also add: Although Michael's car had been wrongly geared by his team, it had a gear that was designed for someone to be leading. Look from 1:52 to 2:20 in the video. Look at the leads that Michael & Jr. were able to get on the field. Those two cars, especially Michael's (which had a larger lead than Jr.), were geared to lead. That's why Michael struggled in the pack during the race, but was very strong out front....

DEI found out how to make aero changes in the transmission tunnel area in 2000-1 and that made their cars close to unpassable in most plate races. The rest of the field eventually figured this out and by 2005 DEI was toast on the plate tracks.

@djr1581 And unfortunately that bad luck carried into 2004. He had a top 10 car at Daytona = wreck, top 10 car at Rockingham = bad transmission, top 15 car at Las Vegas = wrecked by Bill Elliot. He also had a flat tire at Darlington and got wrecked by Rusty Wallace at Pocono while running in the top 10 - 15. That terrible luck at the beginning of 2004 ruined Michael's chances at making the chase. Michael Waltrip is a great racecar driver. He just needs a good car and good luck.

@djr1581 Soooo true. He was great this year. Won the 500 (with the 2nd best car). Won this raced with a less than impressive car; it was a cow in the pack, Mikey just made something out of it. He also could have won the fall race at Loudon if it wasn't for the gasman late in the race. He just had the worst luck that anyone could have the last 1/3 of the year. Wrecking at Bristol with a top 10 car, top 5 cars at Atlanta (fall), Rockingham (fall) and Homestead only to blow tires and engines there.
