NASCAR champion's finger healing up nicely - Memphis Commercial Appeal

Be good, or go home

Michael Waltrip once worked at Wendy's, but he quit the fast-food chain after cutting his finger in a tomato slicer.

He later had a job helping his father deliver Pepsi-Cola, but as a loyal Coca-Cola customer, he walked away because he felt as if he were deceiving the customers.

Now Waltrip is at another career crossroads, unsure whether it's time to climb out of his race car.

The two-time Daytona 500 winner said Thursday he will end his driving career at the end of 2009 if his results don't improve this season.

"I want to race for many more years," he said at media day for the Daytona 500. "I want to race the NAPA car in '10 and beyond because I'm the best guy for it. But if I notice (teammate) David Reuitmann out in front of me and I'm not able to catch him, and if I don't see the results that I think can get the 55 car the results it deserves, then as an owner, I want to get somebody in there that can post those results."
