just two races after celebrating his second win of 1991, waltrip would again be involved in another serious crash, again at the daytona international speedway, in daytona beach, florida. it came after completing the 119th of 160 laps on the 2.5 mile superspeedway. waltrip and driver alan kulwicki were racing side by side, leading a large grouping of cars, battling for 5th position. the car drafting alan kulwicki bumped the kulwicki car, causing his car to hit waltrip's western auto chevrolet at speeds approaching 200 mph on the long backstretch. waltrip's car slowed and was collected by driver joe ruttman's car, both cars sliding sideways several hundred feet on the grassy infield. the tires of waltrip's car clipped the edge of an access road causing it to become airborne and tumbling end over end several times before coming to a stop, up-side down, in a grassy area near turn 3. waltrip was extricated and only suffered minor injuries but many feared that he could have re-injured his shattered leg from the crash at the same track the previous year. (slow-motion video and still photography showed that waltrip's left arm was outside the car as the car tumbled, and came to rest.) waltrip still had a plate in his left leg from the compound fractures he suffered in the earlier crash at the pepsi 400, at the daytona international speedway, (waltrip commented on a january 10, 2013, speed television broadcast of the daytona nascar winter testing, that he had spent more time in the hospital from injuries suffered at the daytona speedway, than at any other track he had raced). waltrip would compete in the following race, the summer race at the pocono raceway, in long pond, pennsylvania, but was crashed again when driver ernie irvan spun driver hut stricklin, in front of almost the entire field. waltrip won the year's spring race at the track just 5 weeks before.
