Survivor Results after Bristol- In the form of Letters to Michael Waltrip

Dear Mr. Waltrip,

Why don't you move aside and let lead lap cars go? Is it because you have no idea what you are doing, or is it because you know that is the only way the NAPA logo will be seen on ESPN during race coverage aside from the views of it crumpled on your hood after a wreck.

Sincerely,

Joey, from Newberry Conn.

Dear Michael Walterip,

How cool was it watching Carl Edwards run away with the race on Saturday night. Wow, he owned that track. Although the race was not as eventful as past races, the new progressive banking and all concrete surfaces sure made it easy to pass on all sides - high, low, middle. I suppose you saw a lot of that passing from the passee point of view. There was even some 3 wide traffic - unheard of before at this track. I don't have to tell you about that, though, since you forced a lot of it by holding up the leaders for about 20 minutes.

Hey, where was that Dominoes pizza guy. I wanted to talk to him on the phone. Hes a good driver. Why don't you ask him for some advice?

Good luck next year,

Roger Stanford, Lowtown Ala

Mikey,

Why don't you go ahead and let your retired brother finish out the season in the 55 car? He has 5 championship provisionals to use yet this season, and imagine the commercial prospects and the publicity for the NAPA team. Plus, he can drive, unlike yourself. He might actually make a few races without the provisionals

Mr Waltrip,

Since the # 29 car finished ahead of you, I'd like to know why it was Kevin Harvick who was eliminated from the survivor series this week. Even with a respectable 17th place finish, he was left behind the #5, the #20, and the blank #31. Whats that all about? You were a much worse finisher. Is it because you have your trophy wife / beard still changing tires for you?

Thanks

Al from Arkansas

Dear Mike,

I wanted to see you in person to talk to you, but the opportunity simply has not yet arisen. Remember that night about 4 months ago when you were so distraught over your failure of a racing business. Hopefully, you remember me from the hotel bar. We talked and I comforted you, and , well, you know where that led. Anyway, I visited my doctor the other day and I am supposed to inform you of a little condition. Pleas give me a call. I know you have my number. We really need to talk. I didn't know how else to get ahold of you. Please don't read this on your crappy NAPA commercials. That would be really embarrassing for both of us.

With Love,

Jaime McMurray
