I’ve shown this one before, but it’s been years. DW has never been my favorite broadcaster, but his contributions to the sport can’t be denied, so I wanted to pay him a bit of a tribute.

In 1995 the Busch Series returned to the Nashville Fairgrounds in a series of races that would go through 2000. The race was on an off weekend for Cup, so a number of Cup drivers showed up to compete, including local hero Darrell Waltrip in a third Labonte car. Originally numbered 17, it was changed to 11 due to Robbie Reiser already running number 17. Waltrip won the pole but faded to 8th at the finish.



This model is the standard round-sided Monte Carlo from Monogram with Racescale decals. Paint is Tamiya pure white. I built this one box stock, focusing on painting as much detail as I could.





On a personal note, this was one of the first few races my dad took me to. We had seats down low in turn 1, right behind the freshly landscaped flower bed. We were treated to the smell of burning rubber and manure all day. As I get older, those good memories become more and more important. I’m glad Racescale made decals of this obscure car to help keep those memories alive in my mind.

Thanks for looking!
