New helmet for DW

Darrell Waltrip won’t be wearing his chrome helmet in Sunday’s race that he has sported since 1995. Instead, the driver of the No. 1 Pennzoil Chevrolet will switch to a Pennzoil helmet, with a yellow and black color scheme. Waltrip said he suspects his chrome helmet is the cause for radio interference that he and his Dale Earnhardt Inc., crew have suffered through in recent weeks.(NASCAR Online)(5-2-98)
