Waltrip Wins Race at Bristol
- Share via
Michael Waltrip took advantage of a tangle between the two cars ahead of him and took control over the last 95 laps in winning the Budweiser 250 Busch Grand National stock car race in Bristol, Tenn.
Waltrip was trailing Chuck Bown and Robert Pressley on Lap 155 of the $207,261 race when Pressley tapped Bown into the Turn 1 wall.
“Courtesy’s gone,” Waltrip said. “You just have to drive defensively and hope nobody turns you around.
“We dedicate this race to the memory of Alan and the people who were with him.”
Alan Kulwicki, last year’s Winston Cup champion, was killed along with three others Thursday night in a plane crash.
