Eerie: Michael Waltrip Wins NASCAR Race 10 Years To The Day Of Winning Daytona 500

10 years ago today, February 18, 2001,, was the one of the saddest days in NASCAR history as Dale Earnhardt Sr. died in a crash in the Daytona 500. The winner of that race was Michael Waltrip.
Today, 10 years after the tragic race, the Camping World NASCAR Truck raced 250 miles at Daytona, and the winner was... Michael Waltrip.
Waltrip passed Elliot Sadler in the last lap and won the race that featured two huge wrecks in the race.
If the truck race is any indication of what will happen in Nationwide and Sprint, it's going to be a fun weekend to watch NASCAR. Fast cars and big wrecks. Can't get any better than that.
