Waltrip’s 84 wins puts him second only to Jeff Gordon, for the most wins in the current era of NASCAR, tying him with driver Bobby Allison, for fourth on the all time record of NASCAR Cup series victor. Waltrip won 59 NASCAR Cup Series pole positions, (second all time), including 35 on short tracks, and 8 on road courses, (both all time highs for just about any motorist, all time).

Waltrip additionally holds the all time track record with 67 triumphs in the Fairgrounds Speedway, in Nashville, Tennessee, including NASCAR, USAC, ASA, and local “Late Model Sportsman” NASCAR sanctioned series races.

Waltrip also became the very first NASCAR driver to be given $10 million, (February 18, 1990), (more than $26 million, in the current money), in race winnings. He’s a 2-time winner of NASCAR’s Most Famous Driver Award, (1989, 1990), was the “American Driver of the Year”, (1979, 1981, 1982), and was named “NASCAR’s Driver of the Decade”, (1980s). He’s a 2003 Motorsports Hall of Fame of America inductee as well as a 2005 International Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee, and was declared in July, 2009, as among the first 25 nominees for the inaugural NASCAR Hall of Fame induction class. Waltrip was named one of NASCAR’s 50 Greatest Drivers, in (1998), and was given the Bill France, “Award of Excellence”, in the year 2000. On July 1, 2010, Waltrip was again nominated for the 2011 induction group of the NASCAR Hall of Fame.

6He and his brother, Michael Waltrip, are the only pair of brothers to both win the Daytona 500.
7As a Fox Sports commentator of the Daytona 500, he openly cried when his brother, Michael Waltrip, won the 2001 Daytona 500, on Sunday, February 18, 2001, but he could be heard asking "Is Earnhardt okay?", shortly before the company, Fox Sports Network went to a commercial break. Dale Earnhardt, his good friend, had just crashed, after being hit by Ken Schrader as the race was concluding and died shortly, thereafter.
8Is fourth on NASCAR's all-time win list with 84 wins.
9Has won 84 Winston Cup races. Holds the record for most wins of Charlotte's World 600 with five - 1978-9, 1985, 1988-9.
10Brother Michael Waltrip won the 2003 Daytona 500 and the 2003 EA Sports 500 at the Talladega (Alabama) Superspeedway.
11Won the 1989 Daytona 500
12Was one of the most hated drivers in motorsports durong the 1970s, but won the most popular driver award in 1989, and 1990.
13Tied for third in NASCAR's all-time win list with Bobby Allison. Hoped to get at least one more win before he retired.
14His last race as an owner/driver he drove an all white Chevrolet Monte Carlo called the 'Tim Flock Special'. He donated the prize money to racing legend Tim Flock who was sick at the time to help with medical expenses. Tim's car number in 1955, and 1956 was 300. Darrell wanted to use this number on the car, but NASCAR rules only allow two digit numbers on the cars. So he had to take 300 off of the car, and use his number 17. The next race, he drove for Dale Earnhardt Inc, car number 1, for most of the season until Steve Park recovered from injuries from a crash at Atlanta. The irony here is Darrell, and Dale never really got along with each other before this.
15In his early days he was always booed by the fans. One day he said "Meet me at The Big K" and we can duke it out". K-Mart later became a sponsor.
16As of now, he has won 84 Winston Cup races. Also tied with Bobby Allison for 3rd on the all-time win list.

1859 career pole positions. 4th on the all time list.
