Darrell Waltrip's 1971 GMC Astro: Old School NASCAR Hauler Stuck In Time (Former Dale Earnhardt Rig)

What happens here

The hosts walk around the exterior of the GMC Astro 95 hauler, pointing out its distinctive features such as the flat front and the added wing on top. They discuss its various past paint schemes and liveries, noting the peeling 'Darrell Waltrip DWI' and 'Western Auto' logos, which were prominent sponsors for Waltrip. The hauler still proudly displays the number '17' on its side.

Goal: Examine the exterior features and historical branding of the hauler.
