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

What happens here

After exploring the hauler, the hosts move to a garage housing a vast collection of Darrell Waltrip's actual race cars. The collection includes various NASCAR models, such as the #88 Pepsi Challenger, the #11 Tide car, and several Toyota Tundra race trucks. They point out a unique white Ford Falcon modified for racing and discuss the distinctive 'Beetle' fenders of the #88 Gatorade car, which was a 1978 Daytona 200 Modified winner. The collection also features classic sports cars like a Jaguar and a Corvette, and a heavily modified Toyota Land Cruiser built for extreme off-road travel, which was driven cross-country to Las Vegas for the SEMA show.

Goal: Explore a wide range of Darrell Waltrip's personal race car collection.
