Where in the World Will Mikey be Sunday?
Michael Waltrip’s dance card will be full Saturday evening after qualifying 35th for the Busch Series Carquest Auto Parts 300.
However Mikey is lacking an opportunity to perform Sunday during the Coca-Cola 600. He is among 9 other drivers that failed to qualify for the longest race of the season. I would suspect, as happened in the past with other drivers, Waltrip may be doing a little “garage surfing” looking for a ride to buy his way into the 600.
A likely candidate to receive a quick cash injection would be 43rd quailfier Derrike Cope in the Sundance Vacations Dodge. I could be wrong and Mikey will just pack-up and go home. Or maybe Cope just won’t be bought and Mikey stays in the hope someone will need a relief driver (His height cuts down any possibilities for that to happen).
In any case what Waltrip should be doing is bow down before the altar of TRD and beg forgiveness, then pledge on a stack of Toyota Stock Options that he won’t be on the non-qualifier list for his new master next year.
UPDATE: They don’t call me the NASCAR Nostradamus for nothin’. “Waltrip buys ride for Coca-Cola 600,” can ya guess which one?
