 DOVER, Del. (AP) - Michael Waltrip is finally back on track. After missing 12 straight races, the two-time Daytona 500 champion qualified 23rd Friday for Sunday's race at Dover International Speedway.
Embarrassed by an off-track incident where he fell asleep at the wheel and was charged with reckless driving and failing to report an accident, a cheating scandal that cost him his crew chief and the string of DNQs, this has been a miserable season for Waltrip and his No. 55 NAPA Toyota team.
"There's been too many times when we showed up with a car that was out in left field and we had to try and get it competitive," Waltrip said. "Today we unloaded and we were competitive. That's the difference."
