I was trying to remember earlier, did Auburn get one in 2010 or is Waltrip just a Bama fan? I wasn't sure if this was a race tradition to honor in-state champions, or if someone just loved us.

I think AU got one in '10 as well. It has something to do with Aaron's, Waltrips's primary sponsor.

Waltrip was wallking around pit row for the pre-race show in his Alabama Nat'l Championship firesuit. Got some good Bama comments from Keselowski, including a Roll Tide! Spoke with McCarron, who presented him with a #55 Bama jersey.

He does this every year in that home teams state (if they race in that state that is). That's why the barn got one in 2011 as well.

Did anyone see his racing helmet? It was painted just like our helmets are, red with the white stripe over the top. Had his number 55 on the side and everything, it was sharp!

Sorry. I love Bama football but I couldn't pull for any Toyota. I am a Ford fan. So the race turned out very well. It was good to see David Ragan get another win.

That is a cool helmet but they definitely missed on the crimson pantone # but the car appeared to have the correct color.
I kind of liked the look. Definitely different than what we have now, but historically very similar to the shade of crimson we used back in the Bryant era.
