  Man, old man, are you kidding me?

  Welcome back to the Kenny Wallace Show, brought to you by
• 0:07
  Jags, the leader in high performance aftermarket car
• 0:11
  parts. Remember to go to jags.com for
• 0:15
  everything you need to fix your vehicle up.
• 0:18
  You're looking at him. That's the man right there.
• 0:21
  Chris Busher. Now listen, I think SV GS one of
• 0:26
  the greatest Rd. racers of all time.
• 0:28
  That's why this is a bigger story that I've seen in a long
• 0:33
  time. Chris Buscher just outdueled
• 0:37
  Shane van Gisbergen. Are you kidding me?
• 0:42
  Hell yeah. Now listen, Watkins Glen is a
• 0:47
  superspeedway type Rd. course. Yes, it is.
• 0:51
  So when you look at what you know Shane van Gisbergen did to
• 0:58
  take the lead, he took it fair and square.
• 1:01
  But at the end of the race, he got a little bit loose.
• 1:03
  And I'm going to tell you what, Chris Busher pounced on it.
• 1:06
  All the credit in the world to Chris Busher was just
• 1:12
  unbelievable. And, and here are my thoughts.
• 1:15
  I'm thinking to myself, isn't this something Shane van
• 1:19
  Gisbergen is going to win this race and he deserves to win it,
• 1:22
  but he's going to take a playoff spot away from Chris Busher.
• 1:28
  Poor Chris Buscher really deserved this win.
• 1:31
  Respond right here if you don't think he did, but my God, he
• 1:34
  lost some battles earlier this year and he really needed this
• 1:37
  and he deserved it. So congratulations.
• 1:41
  So it looks like right now SVG is getting ready to give an
• 1:46
  interview. But Bush, you're doing a good
• 1:50
  job. You're looking live.
• 1:53
  You're looking live. So we're we're going to go ahead
• 1:55
  and we know NASCAR is going to give us a pass on this because
• 2:02
  I'm a NASCAR guy. They're not going to take this
• 2:04
  off the Internet. I'm sharing it with you.
• 2:06
  There's always thought that you can't show what they're showing
• 2:09
  on TV. But Charlie Marlo knows that the
• 2:12
  people at NASCAR said Kenny Wallace helps NASCAR, he
• 2:15
  promotes it. So Charlie's going to leave this
• 2:17
  up here. Hey, on another note, all the
• 2:23
  wrecking at the end, I believe they're reckoned at the end
• 2:28
  because this is the intensity of NASCAR and this is what this is
• 2:32
  what this was planned to do. I know I made a little fun of
• 2:35
  it. Like my God, look at the
• 2:37
  intensity. Shane van Gispert and SVG gives
• 2:40
  him the bumper. So Shane SVG gives Chris Busher
• 2:45
  the bumper on turn one, right? He just said it.
• 2:49
  I just showed you and he says I was expecting it back.
• 2:53
  So he was pushing really hard. Shane van Gisbergen whipped
• 2:56
  through the bus stop too fast, and here's what happens.
• 3:00
  So he gets loose. See, he's loose.
• 3:02
  The sixteens, the sixteens loose.
• 3:05
  That opens it up and now he's in there.
• 3:09
  But what a race, right? So SVG bumps him in turn one on
• 3:15
  the start. SVG knows it's coming back and
• 3:19
  he's pushing and Butcher doesn't even get to his bumper.
• 3:22
  SVG gets loose on his own. So yeah, getting back to the
• 3:27
  intensity level, This is why they set up this stage racing.
• 3:31
  Sometimes NASCAR does some things and we're like, why'd
• 3:34
  they do that? Well, they've sat down with a
• 3:36
  lot of people and they're like, you know what, these guys aren't
• 3:40
  pushing hard. You know they're they're making
• 3:43
  the laps. It's a 500 lap race and you know
• 3:46
  points is what it's all about now with with breaking this
• 3:50
  stuff up into stages, you get points for each stage and then
• 3:55
  you know then you come down to the playoffs.
• 3:57
  Now listen, they're going to run one more race.
• 3:59
  Bristol, OK, so we we ran last week we run this week, then
• 4:03
  we're going to run Bristol, then they're going to kick out, you
• 4:06
  know, 3 or 4 drivers. Blaney's not Blaney's got to win
• 4:10
  next week. Way I look at it, you know, but
• 4:15
  you know, that's why they're reckoned so much at the end.
• 4:18
  They're they're they're fighting for their lives.
• 4:21
  And OK, I want to, I want to follow up on something that I
• 4:26
  see right now. It it appears to me that this is
• 4:32
  a complete different subject. OK, it appears to me that
• 4:37
  Hendrick is in place with with the best talent moving forward.
• 4:44
  They have Corey Day. Corey Day is only 18 years old
• 4:48
  coming from, you know, the World of Outlaws and high limit
• 4:51
  racing. So Corey Day, we've talked about
• 4:54
  him. Corey Day.
• 4:55
  Here we go. Denny Hamlin.
• 4:57
  Hold on to switching subject. Denny Hamlin on the outside
• 5:01
  looking in. Brad Keselowski, Martin Trux,
• 5:04
  Harrison Burton. So Hamlin, Keselowski, Martin
• 5:08
  Trux, Harrison Burton on the outside looking in.
• 5:12
  Hamlin 6 out. Ty Gibbs to the good.
• 5:15
  So that's your points. Update getting back to talent
• 5:20
  level, it appears to me that the surprise out of nowhere is this
• 5:26
  Connor Zilich. Respond right here if I'm saying
• 5:29
  it wrong. I'm not an English major.
• 5:31
  OK, so Hendrick has got Corey Day, only 18 years old.
• 5:38
  He needs a lot of asphalt work. So it's going to be a while
• 5:41
  before Corey Day really gets to where he needs to get to.
• 5:44
  But you look at you look at Chevrolet and I'm talking like
• 5:51
  Track house. I'm talking like Hendrick, I'm
• 5:55
  talking like, you know, Richard Childress Racing, that whole
• 5:59
  Chevrolet bunch. They got Corey, they coming in
• 6:04
  and now Track House is going to get a hold of this Connor
• 6:08
  Zilich, who was the superstar yesterday.
• 6:12
  Man, did they make a big dude about it.
• 6:15
  I'm still studying up. Respond right here.
• 6:17
  I'm going to make you feel good about yourself.
• 6:19
  Who the hell is Connor Zillich? Now?
• 6:21
  I know I'm making a joke about it.
• 6:23
  I'm smiling, OK? We all know who he is now.
• 6:27
  Obviously, one of the greatest talents that I never knew about
• 6:30
  caught me by surprise. But all the greats are talking
• 6:34
  about this Connor Zillich who held off, you know, AJ
• 6:39
  Allmeninger in the Watkins Glen Xfinity race, Sir, Here's what I
• 6:44
  see coming up right now. You respond right here.
• 6:47
  We're going to we're going to expand on it.
• 6:49
  We will expand on it. I see Corey Day coming, but he
• 6:54
  needs a lot of work. He's going to be in the Hendrick
• 6:56
  camp. I see there's Connor Zilich, who
• 7:01
  obviously track house saw coming.
• 7:04
  But Dale Junior let him drive the 88 car yesterday and it was
• 7:09
  unbelievable. So there's Connor Zilich, Corey
• 7:12
  Day, they're coming. All right, I just thought I'd
• 7:16
  add that at the end here. But man, oh man, I still know a
• 7:22
  lot of you people that pretend you hate NASCAR.
• 7:25
  I don't like, but anyway, you like it.
• 7:28
  If you don't like that, there's something wrong with you.
• 7:30
  That's the drivers pushing it, wanting it, trying to, you know,
• 7:35
  'cause you're 3 races and then you're out.
• 7:38
  So next week at Bristol, I'll be there.
• 7:41
  I'll see you Saturday 4:00 trackside live outside, outside
• 7:47
  the Charlotte. Jesus, Herman, get your shit
• 7:50
  straight. See you Saturday at Bristol
• 7:54
  Motor Speedway. It's the cut off.
• 7:57
  Some drivers have got to win. All right, see you at Bristol on
• 8:01
  Saturday at 4:00 trackside live and we'll talk more about it.
• 8:05
  Respond right here.
