Well it's official, Darrell will pilot the KMART sponsored #66 ford taurus for the 1999 season.
The new team is owned by Travis Carter Motorsports, who also owes the Jimmy Spencer ride.  I love
the idea of DW having a team mate, although DW and Spencer are an odd pair.  I see better days
ahead for Darrell.  I wish you luck DW.  May God be your copilot.

    Waltrip took racing out of bib overalls and put it in a three-piece
   suit. With his help, the sport expanded far beyond its traditional
 Southern boundaries. No less than The King himself, Richard Petty,
  Winston Cup's all time winner, says,"He was one of the ones, if not
      THE one, to bring the sport from the old school into the new
school".
 
  "No major league sport has a more well-spoken star than NASCAR
has in Darrell Waltrip"

glad I was in it when I was in it". This fan agrees.
