The Waltrip thing is a joke really. The ACO/FIA should acknowledge that NASCAR racing requires a vastly different skill set and as such the amount of success there doesn't always transfer well to road racing.
Sure, there are plenty of NASCAR drivers who are recent road racers as well but I wouldn't classify any of them as platinum for sports car racing really.
Waltrip is a silver driver in road racing terms, gold if we´re really really generous.
