All right, everybody. Welcome back to another edition of the 12 questions podcast here on the

teardown feed. My name is Jeffff gluck and i'm a writer for

the athletic each week i ask a race car driver the same 12 questions and this week it's michael

walchip who most recently was seen on the srx track obviously a two-time Daytona 500 champion as

well and you might be like well that's kind of weird

timing why Michael Waltrip right now being on the 12 questions honestly I keep seeing these

social media pictures about this beer that he has and he's been promoting and I'm like what I

what is up with this where did this beer come from

that he has and now he has like a tap room um so honestly I kind of just wanted to ask him about it

and figured this would be a good excuse to do it he's opening the tap room this week not an ad

I promise this is like my idea to reach out it wasn't like a this isn't like some sponsor thing

I was just curious about like where did this beer come from and figure we could ask

the other 11 questions at the same time.

So here we go with 12 questions with Michael Waltrip.

All right, everybody, I'm here with Michael Waltrip.

And Michael, the first question is, when you meet someone who doesn't know who you are,

do you ever lie about what you do for a living?

No, I just say, my name's Daryl, and I'm retired. I live in Tennessee.

That's perfect. That's perfect.

Which current NASCAR driver have you known for the longest?

Denny's probably the one I've known the longest.

We've been friends the longest.
