You can't take your win for granted. Your next win might be your last win or you might never get to your next win, so I can't imagine not being overcome with joy by winning and never taking winning for granted.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
People are obviously capable of handling the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. But I don't know how many people have had to experience them within seconds of each other.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I was always one who thought that if something is painful, you just ignore it and it will go away. That's not true.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I like to tell my own story using my personality and my insight, the way I see things.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Talladega is one of the macho tracks on the circuit and when I was a kid, I remember everyone wanting to go watch this race because the cars go so fast on the circuit; there were so many great battles.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
It takes a good car for anybody to be good, but it takes a good car and a special driver to achieve greatness.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip

Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I know y'all have probably heard I lost a few races in a row before I won one, but I never gave up. Never believed I wasn't good enough.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Some people might say I'm two different people, but I think it's more like seven or eight.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
When you've been ridiculed and talked about as much as I have over the course of my career, pressure doesn't exist.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip

Quote by -Michael Waltrip
The computer systems that we have on our cars when we go test just blow my mind.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I've never had anything given to me. I've never had anything easy. My whole career has been that way.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Nobody had ever lost 462 races and then just won. But Dale Earnhardt Sr. had told me I had the ability, and that day, I knew I would.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Whether you're Michael Waltrip or Jeff Gordon or Richard Petty, you can't be the Daytona 500 champion without it having an impact on people around you. When I say that, I mean the race fans. They want to congratulate you for winning the biggest race of the year. It has changed people's perception of me.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
It's my opinion tracks got too wide. You put 43 cars on the track, and if the turns are too wide like they are at some tracks, you sort of lose perspective of what's going on.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Lying in bed, I determined that since I'm a Christian, I believe we all have our days - our days are numbered. I figured it was Dale's day to die, and I was the best person to win the race and be able to honor him in the victory.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
The chances of me getting into the Hall of Fame as a racer are slim to none. But as an owner I have a chance to do something special, mostly because I learned a lot of secrets from Dale.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Everyone who has ever aspired to be a stock car driver wants to win the Daytona 500. If someone says that it's better to win somewhere else, then that tells me one thing for sure - they've never won at Daytona.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
No matter what town we went to, if there was a comedian playing, I'd go watch.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
You have faith in who you are as a driver and stay strong when things go wrong.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
If you look up the definition of stand-up comedy, it's funny on purpose. A little bit of pressure there. It's basically acting. You're telling stories and acting them out for people. The more you make it seem real, really a person doing it, then it seems to me the better it works.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
The racing team is the most important thing in the world to me. It's where all my eggs are fully in that basket. I go dance and do TV to try to make that world more important.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
You will rarely get introduced as the two-time Pocono champion. You will certainly be introduced as the two-time Daytona 500 champion.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Anytime you're pushing the envelope as hard as you can to be successful at anything at life it's easy to go from hero to zero in a second.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I do believe I'm not good enough to be a professional dancer. I believe that in my heart.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I just was fortunate enough to be talented at what I was watching my brother do. It's great that it worked out that way; I might have been wasting a lot of time saying that's what I want to be, but when I got behind the wheel I had the ability.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
As I've gotten older, I know I race less, but I as an owner I have the same anxiety and the same frustration and energy for it.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Physically helping me with advice and direction and a job was Richard Petty. He did a lot for me at a young age, when I needed help and direction.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
And Dale Jr., Dale's son, and Dale and I all raced to the checkered - were racing toward the checkered, which would have been the greatest race in NASCAR history, I'm convinced of it, had we have made it that last quarter of a mile. But instead it became the worst race in NASCAR history when Dale crashed and died on turn four.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
Driving the No. 26 Sandy Hook School Support Fund Toyota is like nothing I have ever been part of in my NASCAR career.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
It's easy to get bogged down in all the negativity that when you see people smile and pat you on the back and say, 'We're going to get through this,' it means a lot.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
When you have turnover, somebody not work out, they'd leave, it really affects a young organization because you don't have your process down pat. You got people coming and going who are affecting your direction. It's just really hard to start from scratch and quickly put your direction in place and be able to stick to it.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
The one feeling that settled in and stayed there for a long while, and I still deal with, is guilt. I was there. I was a part of it. Why does it have to be like this? Was I responsible? Was I the reason Dale was in that position? I'd ask myself that question and look around at people and wonder if they were thinking that, too.
Quote by -Michael Waltrip
I try to motivate and inspire people by showing them how much I love this sport and love this organization.
