Darrell Waltrip is an older driver, but he’s still ranked fourth on the all-time wins list. His incredible career has landed him in the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and after retiring in 2000 he joined the broadcast booth as a commentator.
His favorite car is the undeniably classy 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442, which he drives around Franklin, Tennessee. The Cutlass last rolled off the line in 1980, and this muscle car really pops on the road, especially thanks to the paint job Waltrip has given it. This car is a little less pricey than some others on this list, but it will still run you a cool seventy grand.
This Brilliant Driver Got Himself a Smart Car
We've already seen a car or two from Lewis Hamilton's garage, and here's one that you might not have ever seen before. He has a LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and a Mercedes Benz SLS AMG, but one of the rarest in his collection is the Smart “Brabus” Roadster. It's a two-seat sports car that Smart made between 2003 and 2006.
The Roadster can reach a top speed of 109 MPH, and while that's certainly enough to take on the highways and byways of everyday life, it might not be enough for a racer who knows plenty more about speed.
Sometimes You Just Have to Slow Down
Sir Stirling Moss is known as one of the Formula One greats. He has tons of wins and championships under his belt, and he drove plenty of cool cars during his exciting life. You already know about his fondness for smaller cars when not on the clock, but he was also famous for his love of scooters.
Yes, scooters. This legendary race car driver enjoyed tootling around in one scooter after another. He was once ticketed for driving dangerously in a Mini all the way back in 1960, which might explain why he stuck to scooters – you have to be much more careful.
Jenson Knows Just How to Punch the Buttons
Launched in mid-2011, the McLaren MP4-12C, better known as the McLaren 12C, is capable of almost six hundred horsepower, and uses Formula One technology such as a “brake steer.” It was the first-ever production car designed and made by McLaren alone.
It wasn't in production for very long, but Jenson Button picked one of them up, which likely ran him more than two hundred thousand dollars, but nowadays they're available for a paltry one hundred grand. Button is one of about a thousand lucky owners – we wonder if he's looking to sell...
The King of the Track Loves the King of the Road
Carl Edwards is one of the top ten best drivers in NASCAR, and when he isn't winning on the track, he's driving the car dubbed “The King of the Road.” The Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR, the re-released 2008 version.
This remake has a whopping 540 horsepower, a supercharged 5.4-liter engine V8 with the addition of Ford Racing's Power Pack upgrade, and lots of other cool additions that help handle all the power coming from under the hood. It really is the King of the Road, and Edwards loves sitting on his throne.
