Darrell Waltrip stars in "Cars 2" as the voice of Darrell Cartrip, reprising the role from the original Disney • Pixar's animated movie.
Darrell Waltrip is a three-time NASCAR Winston Cup Champion (1981, '82, and '85), with eighty four total Winston Cup victories. This ties him (with Bobby Allison) for the third most of all-time. Additionally, Waltrip is a television analyst and race commentator with Fox Sports. His other film credit is an appearance as himself in the NASCAR-themed comedy "Talladega Nights."
Starting his driving career in go-karts at the age of twelve, Waltrip entered his first stock-car race just four short years later. Waltrip and his father built a 1936 Chevrolet coupe and headed to a local dirt track near their home. His racing activities continued to increase, and by the late 1960s, Waltrip had become a regular at the fairgrounds track in Nashville.
Waltrip quickly developed into one of the nation's top short-track drivers and made his first NASCAR Winston Cup start in 1972 at Alabama's Talladega Superspeedway. He continued to make sporadic NASCAR starts while earning a living as a barnstorming short-track racer. Finally in 1975, Waltrip decided it was time to become a full time NASCAR competitor. He has since won numerous racing accolades, and remains a living legend of the sport.
