CHARLOTTE ? Last October, Darrell Waltrip had to suck up any bitterness about not getting selected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame as he sat on the Speed television stage moments after his name was not among the five mentioned in the 2011 class.
He had to go and do his job as a television commentator, sitting there wondering why the people he was talking to got selected and he didn?t.
Waltrip had no television duties Tuesday when the 2012 hall of fame class was announced. Speed wanted to put a mic on him, and he declined. He was either going to be bitter or elated ? depending on the outcome of the votes by the 55-member panel. But he wasn?t going to invite the camera to be on him.
All the cameras were on him anyway. And he ended up elated.
