Darrell Waltrip's legendary NASCAR career ended in the year 2000, and he dubbed his final season as his "Victory Tour." Unfortunately, his second season with Haas-Carter Motorsports proved just as turbulent as the year in which it took place. A combination of injuries, mechanical failures, and tragedies pushed the 53-year-old veteran to the limit. But, as he always did, "Ol' D.W." endured. This is that story.
