Michael Waltrip eliminated from 'Dancing with the Stars'
NASCAR driver and team owner Michael Waltrip's run on "Dancing with the Stars" came to an end on Monday night. Waltrip and partner Emma Slater were eliminated following a dance-off with Tommy Chong and his partner Peta Murgatroyd.
The NASCAR community showed their support for the two-time Daytona 500 champion on Twitter, congratulating Waltrip on a job well done. Tony Stewart even made a return to social media to voice his admiration for Waltrip's dancing efforts.
