| Introduction | Michael Waltrip Racing enters three full-time Toyota Camry's in the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Beginning as a modest family-owned operation in Sherrills Ford (N.C.) nearly a decade ago, team owner, Michael Waltrip quickly developed his team into a top-notch organization. After overseeing a winning NASCAR Busch Series team, Waltrip raised the bar for Michael Waltrip Racing and began fielding cars in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series on a limited basis. His trial run as a NASCAR Cup Series team owner, coupled with Toyota's entrance into NASCAR's premier division, was the driving force behind his vision to become a full-time NEXTEL Cup Series owner. Waltrip will continue to pilot the #55 car and will be joined on the track in 2009 by teammates, Josh Wise and David Reutimann, 2004 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year. |
