Physically helping me with advice and direction and a job was Richard Petty. He did a lot for me at a young age, when I needed help and direction.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
As I've gotten older, I know I race less, but I as an owner I have the same anxiety and the same frustration and energy for it.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I just was fortunate enough to be talented at what I was watching my brother do. It's great that it worked out that way; I might have been wasting a lot of time saying that's what I want to be, but when I got behind the wheel I had the ability.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I do believe I'm not good enough to be a professional dancer. I believe that in my heart.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Anytime you're pushing the envelope as hard as you can to be successful at anything at life it's easy to go from hero to zero in a second.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
You will rarely get introduced as the two-time Pocono champion. You will certainly be introduced as the two-time Daytona 500 champion.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
The racing team is the most important thing in the world to me. It's where all my eggs are fully in that basket. I go dance and do TV to try to make that world more important.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
If you look up the definition of stand-up comedy, it's funny on purpose. A little bit of pressure there. It's basically acting. You're telling stories and acting them out for people. The more you make it seem real, really a person doing it, then it seems to me the better it works.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
You have faith in who you are as a driver and stay strong when things go wrong.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
No matter what town we went to, if there was a comedian playing, I'd go watch.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Everyone who has ever aspired to be a stock car driver wants to win the Daytona 500. If someone says that it's better to win somewhere else, then that tells me one thing for sure - they've never won at Daytona.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
The chances of me getting into the Hall of Fame as a racer are slim to none. But as an owner I have a chance to do something special, mostly because I learned a lot of secrets from Dale.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Lying in bed, I determined that since I'm a Christian, I believe we all have our days - our days are numbered. I figured it was Dale's day to die, and I was the best person to win the race and be able to honor him in the victory.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
It's my opinion tracks got too wide. You put 43 cars on the track, and if the turns are too wide like they are at some tracks, you sort of lose perspective of what's going on.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Whether you're Michael Waltrip or Jeff Gordon or Richard Petty, you can't be the Daytona 500 champion without it having an impact on people around you. When I say that, I mean the race fans. They want to congratulate you for winning the biggest race of the year. It has changed people's perception of me.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Nobody had ever lost 462 races and then just won. But Dale Earnhardt Sr. had told me I had the ability, and that day, I knew I would.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I've never had anything given to me. I've never had anything easy. My whole career has been that way.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
The computer systems that we have on our cars when we go test just blow my mind.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
There are several races that anything can happen and Talladega is one of those places for sure.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
When you've been ridiculed and talked about as much as I have over the course of my career, pressure doesn't exist.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Some people might say I'm two different people, but I think it's more like seven or eight.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I know y'all have probably heard I lost a few races in a row before I won one, but I never gave up. Never believed I wasn't good enough.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I'm pretty comfortable in a car to know what I'm doing, and I'm exactly the opposite onstage.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Obviously you can make a pretty good living these days as a crew member or a crew chief or as a driver. But the technology is expensive.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
It takes a good car for anybody to be good, but it takes a good car and a special driver to achieve greatness.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Talladega is one of the macho tracks on the circuit and when I was a kid, I remember everyone wanting to go watch this race because the cars go so fast on the circuit; there were so many great battles.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I like to tell my own story using my personality and my insight, the way I see things.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I was always one who thought that if something is painful, you just ignore it and it will go away. That's not true.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
People are obviously capable of handling the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. But I don't know how many people have had to experience them within seconds of each other.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
You can't take your win for granted. Your next win might be your last win or you might never get to your next win, so I can't imagine not being overcome with joy by winning and never taking winning for granted.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
It's as much looking out your rear-view mirror as the windshield. You want to make sure you put your car in front of the right line. You're constantly looking behind you.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Dale was just trying to get third. Maybe he was thinking that he could get a run on everyone coming out of Turn 4. But the race was over. Junior and I had pulled away, so there was no need to block. That always hurt me when people said he was blocking for me, because it almost felt like it was my fault that he died. But I don't think that anymore.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I was confident that I not only could win races, but I could win the championship.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
This is racing. There is going to be twists and turns. You're going to be dealt setbacks.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
The thing that warms my heart is people. I have just met so many kind folks that want to just pat you on the back and say, 'We love you.'
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I built my team with Dale in mind. He lives with me. He's part of who I am because I just appreciated who he was and how he went about things. People worked on his cars at Dale Earnhardt Incorporated before I got there. When Dale would walk by you could just tell people were thinking, 'these are Dale Earnhardt's cars.'
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
There's a Bible verse that says if you believe, you will be in the presence of the Lord in the blink of an eye. And I know Dale was a believer, and that means that he saw his son and his friend going to win the Daytona 500, and he was in heaven all within the blink of an eye.
