Michael Waltrip is a retired American driver best known for his stock car career, where he won the Daytona 500 twice. His record in international motorsport consists of a single World Endurance Championship entry in 2012, driving for AF Corse-Waltrip in a professional endurance field that draws drivers from Formula 1, Formula 3, and equivalent single-seater categories. That appearance resulted in no points or podium finishes.[1]
The competitive context of that WEC outing shows Waltrip finished fourth in his only start, ahead of several professionally-graded drivers including FIA Silver-graded competitors Michele Rugolo, Markus Palttala and Joël Camathias, and FIA Gold-graded Niclas Jönsson. His Racer Rating of 2,700 reflects a semi-professional career centred primarily on stock car racing rather than international circuit competition. His subsequent involvement in motorsport has been as a team owner, media commentator and personality rather than as an active driver.[2]
