Darrell Waltrip's Time Capsule: 1971 GMC Hauler Packed FULL of NASCAR History (Museum Grade Stuff)

What happens here

As boxes are opened on the tarp, various items are discovered. These include plaques for NASCAR championships (like 1981, 1986 Busch Pole Winner), an official photograph of the White House autographed by George Bush, small die-cast model trucks ('Western Auto Racing' #17 Darrell Waltrip), a red 'The Winston' branded briefcase (Zero Halliburton brand), a large plastic 'Mountain Dew' #11 race car toy (made in USA), several flattened Kellogg's Raisin Bran cereal boxes featuring Darrell and Michael Waltrip, old Vans checkerboard shoes, a thick leather belt with 'Darrell Waltrip' embossed on it, various framed photos (some autographed), a 'Digard Racing Co.' license plate, a Dale Earnhardt magazine, a Daytona 500 poster, a go-kart trophy from 1961, and a red Hot Wheels car.

Goal: Uncover and identify a range of unique items from the initial boxes.
