Related: About this forumDid Michael Waltrip think he was talking to Donna Summer on pit road at Auto Club?
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nascar-from-the-marbles/michael-waltrip-thought-he-was-talking-to-donna-summer-on-pit-road-at-auto-club-speedway-222958648.htmlDuring his odyssey down Auto Club Speedway's pit road on Sunday, Waltrip thought he ran into singer Donna Summer. He went up to her and said that he enjoyed her "body of work."
Summer died in 2012. The woman who Waltrip was talking to was not Donna Summer....
Sunday's race had "Modern Family's" Eric Stonestreet, "Brookyln Nine-Nine's" Terry Crews and Gonzo the Muppet in attendance among others. Summer, obviously, wasn't one of the others.
Was it a bad joke that just fell flat or a true case of mistaken identity Donna Summer discography pun not intended for Waltrip? Either option is cringeworthy, especially as Waltrip was sort of singing Summer's "Last Dance" while he was on camera.

NASCAR will be a hell of a lot better when the Waltrips go the fuck away

a capital offense!

Michael is a douchebag who helped organize that whole spin-gate at Richmond last year. Darrell is easily THE WORST announcer in professional sports. He doesn't even pretend to hide his favoritism when announcing races.

back when most of the drivers were from the Carolinas and he was the only one from Tennessee.
