NASCAR Legend, Two-Time Daytona 500 Champ Mocks President Joe Biden For Being Senile
I'll be honest, today's NASCAR driver is pretty boring. Sorry, that's just the truth.
I grew up with Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon (although he wasn't exactly a ball of fire) – guys like that. Absolute content machines. They were unfiltered, raw, and didn't give a damn. Especially Stewart. What a pistol.
Anyway, you don't get that very often anymore. Denny Hamlin is probably the best at it in today's NASCAR, but, for the most part, everyone is too damn scared of being canceled to speak their mind. It's the world we live in.
So, when that happens, we go back to the closet, dust off an oldie, and lean on the classics to get us through the boring, dog days of summer.
And that's where Michael Waltrip – the 2001 Daytona 500 champ – comes in. The former DEI driver – not that kind! – spoke to OutKick after playing in Thursday's LIV Pro-Am in Nashville, and dropped arguably the greatest Joe Biden impersonation of all time.
The entire four minutes is worth your time – nice work, Hayley! – but the Biden stuff happens at the very end:
Michael Waltrip continues to be a NASCAR content machine
Incredible. He's the best. Great interview from start to finish. And hey! We even plugged your beer, Mikey! Go get you a Talladega Light on this second day of summer.
Anyway, Waltrip was a content machine back in his racing days, and he still is today whilst calling races for Fox. Some people hate those Grid Walks he does in the Fox pre-race show, but I love them. And I'm not just saying that because he let us interview him. I genuinely think they're funny.
Waltrip, of course, is mostly famous for winning the 2001 Daytona 500. That's obviously an infamous race because it's the day Dale Earnhardt died coming off of Turn 4 – blocking for Waltrip and Dale Jr. Waltrip would win again the following year – again in Daytona, this time in July – and twice more in 2003.
Did you know he ran 784 races over 33 NASCAR Cup Series seasons? That's insane. I didn't realize he had that sort of stamina.
Lord knows Joe Biden could never.
Thanks for the laughs, Mikey.
