Original Artwork by Sam Bass, Darrell Waltrip with his stock cars, 2000. Program cover for the NAPA 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, November 2000 honoring Darrell Waltrip with his image a variety of the cars he drove over his career. Darrell retired at the end of 2000 and ended his year as a three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion (1981, 1982, 1985) and a three-time NASCAR Cup Series runner-up (1979, 1983, 1986). Posting a modern NASCAR series record of 22 top five finishes in 1983 and 21 top five finishes both in 1981 and 1986, Waltrip won 84 NASCAR Cup Series races, including the 1989 Daytona 500, a record five in the Coca-Cola 600 (formerly the World 600) (1978, 1979, 1985, 1988, 1989), and a track and Series record for any driver at Bristol Motor Speedway with 12 (seven consecutive from 1981 to 1984).
