08:43 AM ET 01.08 | NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team owner Michael Waltrip will compete in the Feb. 20 Daytona 500. "This will be my 25th Daytona 500 in a row," Waltrip said in a telephone interview Thursday. "I think two people have started that many. Richard Petty and Dave Marcis come to mind. Our plan is to race the Budweiser Shootout and 500. I'm looking forward to it." Waltrip won't be here for Cup testing Jan. 20-22 at Daytona International Speedway, but his team will send two stock cars manned by Martin Truex Jr. and David Reutimann.

Yeah, he wasn't very successful behind the wheel , but he is hard not to like. Plus it's funny to see such a tall guy in the car with the steering wheel stuck to his chest. I wonder if he knows it's legal to have his crew move the seat back?

He was an advocate of the COT with the EGRESS panel on the roof. Moving the seat back? NASCAR may deem that illegal -- too much rear weight ... LOL

FYI...Mikey is one busy guy.....his heart will always be in racing....but he keeps his hands in many $$$$$ earning ventures.
He will race Daytona and Kentucky and maybe a few more.
His first book will be available in Feb 2011....called "IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE"... about his 25 years in racing, Dale, Daytona (2001) and the day that changed everything from his
perspective.....Mikey has a book tour scheduled for this one in 2011.
He will also do a comedy tour called THE MICHAEL WALTRIP COMEDY GARAGE....he will do a stand up routine and have many other comedians with him....different comedians for different towns......helping new ones get a break.
Mikey also races Ferraris in Portugal and Dubai as well as some other global tracks.....tba shortly.
He continues with his sponsor appearances and committments, as well as the Nascar truck commentator, and Inside Nascar regular......he is also planning some TV appearances..

It's a great morning. The sun is shining and the spam is spamming. At least it's one day closer to Daytona. That's a good thing.
