1980's: Darrell Waltrip Dominates Bristol, Wins 7 Straight Food City 500's - Story Time with Tom Taylor

1980's: Darrell Waltrip Dominates Bristol, Wins 7 Straight Food City 500's - Story Time with Tom Taylor

In the history of Bristol Motor Speedway, one name stands out from all the rest – Darrell Waltrip. The man they called “Jaws” set the standard at Bristol, winning twelve NASCAR Cup Series races in the 1970s, 1980s and the 1990s. But nowhere was Waltrip’s dominance more pronounced than during the early 1980s when he won seven straight races, including four consecutive Food City 500s.

1981 marked a new era for NASCAR, which ordered teams to build smaller cars with a shorter wheelbase and less rear spoiler. The old master Junior Johnson was among the first to figure out how to make the cars handle and his new driver -- Owensboro Kentucky’s Darrell Waltrip – was already on a hot streak winning two of the year’s first four races.

The team rolled into Bristol that March and set a new track record of 112 miles per hour during qualifying. On race day, DW led 334 laps, including the final eighty. Ricky Rudd, Bobby Allison, and Morgan Shepherd chased him to the checkered flag.

The next spring Darrell had his hands full with Dale Earnhardt but he and Junior still led the last 103 laps to earn the win.

1983?  Yep, DW did it again. The spring race was run on a May Saturday night but that never phased DW. He qualified thirteenth and needed the first half of the race to get to the front but once he was there, Darrell turned out the lights on the competition.

How dominant was he? Even fans who liked him started wearing “Anybody but Waltrip” T-shirts!

In the spring of 1984, it appeared the win streak would end. Bobby Allison had the fastest car and led the most laps but when he went to the pits with mechanical trouble, it was win number seven for old Number 11. DW scored seven wins in a row en route to Bristol immortality.

FANTASY - Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race | It's BRISTOL Baby!

FANTASY - Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race | It's BRISTOL Baby!

Kyle Busch has won three of the last five races at Bristol. He’s averaging 50.8 fastest laps and 68.8 laps led in that span. He has a 100+ driver rating in four of the last six races, and has led at least 70 laps in those four races. 

Kyle Larson is one of the best drivers at steep race tracks, and has performed really well at Bristol in the past. He’s averaging the most fantasy points over the last five races here. He’s also average the most laps led and the second most fastest laps in that span. He’s finished in the top ten in four of the last five races here, and is my early week favorite to sneak out a win this weekend. 

Matt DiBenedetto started 21st and finished 12th in this race earlier this season, and ended up being the value driver in the optimal lineup. Over the last five races this season, Matt DiBenedetto has an average finish of 12.8, which is the ninth best among all drivers. He’s my value pick to watch, and I like his chances for a top ten finish.

Denny Hamlin has a 4.8 average finish over the last five races here, which is the best among active drivers. Hamlin, Keselowski, and Logano are the only three drivers with five straight top ten finishes. Hamlin has a 10.5 average finish on the six large oval tracks this season. 

Alex Bowman finished 10th here in 2016 filling in for Dale Jr, and backed that up with another 10th place finish last season. Bowman has a 86 driver rating with a 12.2 average finish on large oval tracks this season. He’s a really nice value option for DFS, and has scored at least 30 fantasy points on all of the intermediate tracks this season.
