  1. A first

    Darrell Waltrip won the 1989 Daytona 500 on his seventeenth attempt, stretching his final fuel stop 53 laps from the finish by drafting off other cars to save enough fuel to reach the end.

  2. About the name

    Cale Yarborough, a rival of Waltrip's, gave him the nickname "Jaws" during an interview. The name referred to the 1975 killer shark film and came after Waltrip crashed Yarborough and D.K. Ulrich out of the 1977 Southern 500.

  3. A first

    In 1989 Waltrip had his best season with Hendrick Motorsports, taking six race wins. He helped develop NASCAR's new Chevrolet Lumina that year and gave it its first win by capturing a historic fifth Coca-Cola 600 in May.

  4. A first

    Waltrip's first Winston Cup victory came on May 10, 1975, at age 28 in the Music City 420 at his home track in Nashville, driving a No. 17 Terminal Transport Chevrolet he owned himself.
