Why did Waltrip get no points for this race?

He didn't get any points because he was a Busch East driver. They were
allowed to compete with their BE cars in Busch races, but weren't
allowed to get any points.

Looks like Darrel lended his little brother one hot rod for this race,
unless someone else owned the Superflo #17 that week.

I watched the race last year. It was DW's car. Darrell met his brother
in victory lane too.

Car owner for the 17 in this race and the rest of the 1988 races except
Oxford was Darrell Waltrip.

@ 2 I see someone asking that question in every single race that a
driver got no points for.

@ 3 Yes, Mikey Waltrip drove in the Busch far East series in 88, the
Busch New Zealand Series. I think he ran a couple in Micronesia as well,
probly is why he got no points for this one.

Jokes aside, the most likely reason Michael Waltrip got no points for
this victory because the car was probably a last-minute "post entry"
with the entry form filed after the deadline.

Waltrip won 11 Busch races over the course of his career but this debut
victory was the only one that came in one of his brother's cars, this
was the second and last time he raced DW's #17 on this tour. Waltrip
would later win four more races in his own equipment though.

Bob Jenkins and Ned Jarrett were the commentators. Dr. Jerry Punch and
Larry Nuber were the pit road reporters.

Jimmy Spencer split his time this weekend between Dover and Pocono,
where he was running the Modified Tour's famous Race of Champions on its
short track layout. Mr. Excitement started this day in Pennsylvania
where he won his heat race for that event before flying down to Delaware
and scoring a top-10 here. He then returned to Pennsylvania and ran well
early the next day in the big Modified race before hitting issues that
resulted in a 36th-place finish amongst a very oversized field.
