Did anyone see Michael Waltrip push his car at the end?

What was up with him pushing his car backwards across the start finish line? The fans in my section were going apey over it cheering him on. I've never been a fan of his but seeing him push that car won a ton of respect for him.

I never saw that on TV, so it must be something only the fans at the track saw. I sure would like to have seen it though. Maybe they'll show it tonight on "This Week In NASCAR" on ESPN and Mikey will talk about it.

Re: Did anyone see Michael Waltrip push his car at the end?

Post race TV just gave a quick look at it. Flames were coming from under the hood just in front of the windshield.

The 48 commented that the time the two of them were hooked up and went to the front, there was a restart required and during the restart that had the 55 in the lead and just ahead of the 48, the 48 said the 55's engine seemed to grenade and he found himself pretty much the only engine making power.

The TV shot showed Mikey pushing the car forward by himself.

Thanks wingkey1. You're exactly right. Mikey talked about it tonight while they showed footage of it. He said he almost took his suit off and start running with the car but thought better of it. He got a kick out of the fans cheering him on. Pretty funny.

That Mikey! He's a doof, but at least he's entertaining.

I really enjoyed last night's show. I stopped watching because it wasn't Despain's show anymore, but I may start watching again.

I thought the interaction between Mike & Chad was pretty good too.

I hate I missed it. Anyone know if they'll replay it? I'd love to see him talk about it. I was going nuts as were the rest of the people around me. He seemed to be laughing.
