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.
Proud of @mw55. He had the balls to do something none of us would have. Much respect my friend
