Donna Summer passed away in 2012, as Waltrip was reminded:
I guess no one told Michael Waltrip poor Donna Summer's been dead for two years. #NASCAR #NASCAROnFOX

@NASCARONFOX Sure he meant no harm but someone tell @mw55 Donna Summer died in 2012. And kill that segment please.

Has anyone told M.Waltrip Donna Summer died in May 2012 and her family deserves an apology. Poor taste….

Michael Waltrip not knowing Donna Summer is dead, and assuming some random Black woman was her, #cringeworthy @NASCAR @TwitchyTeam #NASCAR
