In the fall of 1988, Martinsville Speedway delivered its usual chaos—but Darrell Waltrip stayed calm when it mattered most. Driving the No. 17 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet, Waltrip took over late, survived traffic and pressure from Alan Kulwicki, and powered his way to victory in the Goody’s 500. It was his 73rd career NASCAR Cup win and another reminder that experience wins on NASCAR’s toughest short track. #DarrellWaltrip #DW #MartinsvilleSpeedway #Goody500 #NASCARHistory #NASCARThrowback |

The Coca-Cola 600 is NASCAR’s toughest test, and in 1989 Darrell Waltrip proved why experience matters. Over 600 grueling miles at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Waltrip outlasted the field, managed the changing conditions, and stayed mistake-free when it mattered most. While others faded late, DW was still charging, sealing one of the most demanding victories of his Hall of Fame career. #DarrellWaltrip #DW #CocaCola600 #NASCARHistory #1989NASCAR #CharlotteMotorSpeedway #NASCARLegends #StockCarRacing
