NASCAR LEGEND MICHAEL WALTRIP
PUMPED ABOUT MEETING DONNA SUMMER
... Who Died 2 Years Ago

NASCAR legend Michael Waltrip had the thrill of a lifetime today -- HE MET DONNA SUMMER ... at least, he thinks he did ... despite the fact she died two years ago.

Waltrip was doing some pre-race work for FOX at the NASCAR Auto Club 400 race today when he THOUGHT he spotted the disco queen.

He even sang some, "Last Dance" on his way over to interview the icon ... who was really just a woman who kinda sorta looked like her.

Once he got there, it got more awkward when he attempted to talk to her -- "Hi Donna how are you? Enjoy the races today, I love your music. You’ve got a great body of work that you’ve put together!”

Just to add insult to injury, Darrell Waltrip (Michael's older brother) lives in Franklin, just a few miles away from where Summer lived, and where her funeral was held.





Jeez, what an embarrassment.

Maybe he was kidding.

Maybe he thinks they all look alike.
