Dale Earnhardt's "other" well known number is the #15. He ran the Wrangler Jeans Thunderbird in 1982 and 1983 before switching to the #3 for good. Dale won 3 races in the #15. When he expanded to three cars in 2001 at Dale Earnhardt Incorporated, #15 was one of the choices, with Michael Waltrip driving. "Mikey" went on to win the first race that season, the Daytona 500, the race in which Dale died in a last-lap crash.

The 2001 Daytona 500 was Michael Waltrip's first Cup win. Waltrip is most closesly associated with the #15 now, and eventually incorporated it into his fleet of cars at Michael Waltrip Racing. How many total races did Waltrip win during his tenure at DEI driving #15?
