• 1:15
  gave you that nickname? Mark the Kid Martin.
• 1:19
  A really good, really good answer.
• 1:22
  Somebody I would have never thought about, but that person
• 1:25
  also gave him the nickname Captain Crunch and he didn't
• 1:29
  like that. Mark had had a couple wrecks

• 2:54
  it out. Mark the kid Martin out of
• 2:56
  Batesville, AR. When I was a kid, I loved the
• 2:59
  mountain. Hello, ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:02
  welcome to the World Center of Speed, Daytona International
• 3:06
  Motor Speedway, Daytona Beach, FL.
• 3:08
  Hello. I'm Ken Squire.
• 3:11
  And no, you're not all right. Thought I'd do a coffee with
• 3:17
  Kenny. So not as you know by now, not
• 3:20
  every day I do a coffee with Kenny.
• 3:23
  If I want to do one, I got to have something to say.
• 3:26
  So what I want to have to say is I have a lot of things coming up
• 3:32
  right now, You know, So Trackside Live originated.
• 3:38
  It started when Marcus Smith, the owner of SMI, Marcus Smith
• 3:44
  owns Charlotte Motor Speedway. He owns Bristol, he owns all
• 3:48
  these race tracks. Well, Marcus called me about
• 3:52
  four years ago, three years ago. And Marcus says, Kenny Wallace,
• 3:56
  we want you to bring back that old speed show.
• 3:59
  And I said, well, we got to get John Roberts and we went after
• 4:02
  Wendy Mantorini and it's been a hell of a show.
• 4:05
  And it's just a really good show.
• 4:08
  And we go to the race tracks about 1011 * a year.
• 4:13
  Worldwide Technology Raceway, they call it Kenny Wallace Live.
• 4:18
  So we go and about got thousands.
• 4:22
  You know, I've shown you the pictures I've documented.
• 4:25
  So the next one is going to be Bristol and yeah, Bristol and
• 4:34
  Atlanta. So we got two more to do.
• 4:37
  Atlanta called. We were not supposed to go to
• 4:40
  Atlanta. And Ted All stat who runs that
• 4:43
  track down there, He said, Herman, will you come to
• 4:47
  Atlanta? We want you and John Roberts and
• 4:52
  Wendy, we want you to do a trackside live show for the
• 4:55
  start of the playoffs. So Atlanta is race number one of
• 4:59
  the NASCAR playoffs. So I'll be back there with John
• 5:02
  Roberts and Wendy and we will do trackside live and we interview
• 5:06
  the greatest drivers. We talk about it all before we
• 5:09
  start interviewing the drivers. We come out on stage, I do Ric
• 5:13
  Flair, do the string dance, get everybody going, maybe throw out
• 5:17
  some free stuff. And we talked about it.
• 5:21
  But then we bring up all the today's greatest drivers, Brad
• 5:24
  Keselowski, Denny Hamlin and it is just like NASCAR race day
• 5:30
  built by the Home Depot. And I want to thank you all for
• 5:32
  making that so successful. So I have two more of those,
• 5:37
  Bristol and Atlanta. So I have to reduce some of my
• 5:43
  racing at the end of this year. See, I've had a two-month.
• 5:46
  I had two months off so I went racing.
• 5:49
  Hey Wallace, you sure are racing a lot.
• 5:52
  That's because I'm not doing any.
• 5:54
  I had to had the two-month break, so there was no trackside
• 5:58
  lives. So I'll be back on the road.
• 6:02
  Two more trackside lives. It will be at once again.
• 6:06
  I'm repeat myself, I know, but it's going to be, you know,
• 6:10
  maybe 3 hours before the race starts.
• 6:13
  I think the one at Bristol's at 4:00, yes, 4:00.
• 6:17
  And then the one in Atlanta is 12:00.
• 6:19
  Now Atlanta's going to be a lot of fun.
• 6:21
  They asked me to introduce, so Atlanta is the start of the
• 6:26
  NASCAR playoffs, race number one, and they want Kenny Wallace
• 6:30
  to announce the top 16 and I'm going to go.
• 6:34
  My name is Kenny Wallace, so they know who's talking.
• 6:41
  Then I'm going to say, Are you ready to hear the top 16 in the
• 6:46
  NASCAR championship playoffs? And then I'm going to go 16th
• 6:53
  spot out of San Bernardino, CA. He's the wild child, Sheldon
• 6:59
  Hodden child. So you know, 15th.
• 7:06
  And I did it at Bristol a couple years ago and it was a big hit.
• 7:10
  My daughter Brittany was up there.
• 7:12
  She says, Oh my God, dad. We were thinking, that sounds
• 7:15
  like dad. You were so good, dad.
• 7:20
  So anyway that's bringing up the speed.
• 7:22
  Now listen, this Friday I cannot race local.
• 7:26
  So there you go everybody for all of you are that are mad at
• 7:29
  me that I'm racing too much. I thought you was retired.
• 7:33
  I am, I am retired. I'm doing what I want to do.
• 7:38
  So this week no racing pevely, no Quincy, no Brownstown, no
• 7:42
  Highland. This Friday I'm flying out to
• 7:46
  Sacramento, CA. I'm getting an Avis Rent a Car
• 7:50
