Running gives me a physical and mental edge
by Michael Waltrip, Racing Milestones
January 2005 issue
Our fund-raising effort for the Victory Junction Gang Camp is based on my competing in the Las Vegas Marathon on January 30. We're hoping to raise $1 million for the camp with this event.
You might be wondering why I like to run, or how I got started. Like a lot of things in life, it started out just as an activity that I thought I'd give a try and it wound up being something that's very important to me.

December 3, 2004 - Michael Waltrip quotes regarding DEI crew changes:
“We have been looking to make some changes at DEI in the last few months to further improve the direction we are going. Richie Gilmore and the management decided this would be a positive move for both team’s performance.
“I am happy with this decision. I feel we have a strong NAPA Team right now that will serve well for Dale Jr. next season. Obviously Tony Eury Jr. and the guys from the Bud car are some of the very best in the garage and I can’t wait to work with them. Ultimately this switch is to strengthen our effort as an entire team by using the very best resources from both sides. I know this switch will be talked about a lot in the days to come. I am just looking forward to Daytona testing in January when we can start to show everyone what a smart decision has been made.”
DEI shuffles crew chiefs:
