• 0:00
  Happy Monday morning, everybody. Kenny Schrader is on his way
• 0:07
  over here. We are going to do Herman
• 0:10
  Schrader on this Monday morning here at Uncle Rusty's house.
• 0:16
  Yes, we are. Schrader's worried about his
• 0:19
  Wi-Fi is not very good out at the Volusia Speedway.
• 0:24
  OK, sip of coffee. I-55 Federated Auto Parts
• 0:33
  Raceway Park Mods Gone wild March 19th, 2020 First $5000 to
• 0:43
  win. All right, y'all come out now
• 0:48
  here, man. Land of Beverly Hillbillies.
• 0:54
  Oh boy, I tell you what, sometimes stuff just sticks in
• 0:58
  my head. Y'all come out and out here?
• 1:04
  That reminds me. OK, this was not on my subject
• 1:08
  matter. Let's get going right away.
• 1:14
  I'm at the movies yesterday. So yesterday on Sunday I had a
• 1:17
  great day. I, I go have lunch with Jamie
• 1:22
  Flannery. Jamie is out of Wisconsin.
• 1:27
  He cleans up natural disasters, does a great job.
• 1:30
  They're over in Mississippi now, but they got a lot, they got a
• 1:33
  mess over there. That big ice storm.
• 1:36
  I mean, it just that ice crippled the, the Mississippi
• 1:39
  area. So they're, they're cleaning up
• 1:41
  that big mess over there. All the trees falling down.
• 1:43
  But want to thank Jamie Flannery for taking me to lunch down
• 1:46
  there at Spruce Creek. So I left there and I went and
• 1:52
  saw a movie, had a wonderful time and this movie theater was
• 1:56
  packed. I mean I went to go in there.
• 1:59
  The movie started like at 3 and I'm there like at three O 4.
• 2:02
  But I know you can get to the movies at that time because the
• 2:05
  trailers are still playing shows like 3 seats left.
• 2:10
  So I choose one and sit down and sure enough, these two elderly
• 2:17
  ladies that were well put together, really good looking
• 2:21
  older ladies, they come walking up, they look at me.
• 2:24
  And anyway, the movie gets over and everybody's cheering.
• 2:29
  It's one of those feel good movies.
• 2:31
  And lady starts a conversation with me.
• 2:34
  She tells me how nice I am and that's very nice of her.
• 2:39
  But anyway comes out, you know, I'm Kenny Wallace, you know, and
• 2:45
  Oh my God, my husband would love to meet you.
• 2:49
  He loves NASCAR and somehow it always goes back to NASCAR.
• 2:55
  So she starts this conversation about what's that going on?
• 3:01
  I hear that race is delayed. And I said, Oh yeah, Bowman Gray
• 3:06
  and I talk about how I'm racing out of the the dirt track out of
• 3:11
  Volusia now. And she's like, where is that?
• 3:13
  I said, you know, you go up 95, make a left on 40, head over
• 3:17
  towards Ocala and the other lady, she goes, no, that's just
• 3:22
  that little old rinky dink like track.
• 3:25
  And I said, no, no, that's it. So here's the story.
• 3:33
  I had to explain to that Lady that, yes, those, those little
• 3:39
  rinky dink tracks, that little old redneck track, that's where
• 3:44
  drivers like Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, Tony Stewart,
• 3:50
  Casey Kahne, Ryan Newman, all the greats, even Dale Earnhardt,
• 3:55
  senior Rusty Wallace, everybody, 9 out of 10 race car drivers
• 4:00
  start at those little rinky dink race tracks.
• 4:05
  It does amaze me. I call them normal people.
• 4:08
  It does amaze me how the normal people look at anything outside
• 4:14
  of Formula One or NASCAR as oh God, look at that little.
• 4:18
  I mean, I do get it. I do get it because they're
• 4:21
  made-up of porta potties. And but I mean, I guess what I'm
• 4:27
  saying is it does surprise me how so many people do put
• 4:30
  themselves above, you know, like if it's, if it's not, you know,
• 4:35
  a stadium or an arena, then it's thought of as, Oh my God, you
• 4:40
  know, they're, they're just like, oh, it's so nasty.
• 4:45
  But I thought that would make for a good subject matter.
• 4:49
  So yes, everybody, you know, the World Outlaws Sprint cars are
• 4:56
  going to be out here in a couple days and and you're going to see
• 4:59
  all the big boys here, all of them.
• 5:02
  And I'm not going to say who's going to be here, but usually,
• 5:04
  usually, I'm not saying they're going to be here, but in the
• 5:08
  usually Christopher Bell, Kyle arson.
• 5:10
  Now, they might not be here because of the delay up there at
• 5:14
  Bowman Gray, but yeah, so dirt racing, you know, is it's the
• 5:22
  way it is. You know, there's not enough
• 5:24
  money, there's not enough profit to make these things wonderful
• 5:27
  stadiums. So don't make fun of them too
• 5:31
  much. Don't dumb yourself down too
• 5:32
  much. However, I, I do see where
• 5:35
  people get it 'cause I tend to make fun of us too.
• 5:38
  And if you remember, I'm the one that had Weber Valley Speedway.
• 5:43
  I have, I had Howard Weaver. This is Weber.
• 5:48
  Howard makes fun of dirt racing like he should.
• 5:51
  And but it it's not that that redneck, I think, but I just
• 5:59
  thought it was funny. Oh, honey, you don't run out.
• 6:02
  That little old junky little old dirt track out there.
• 6:06
  Oh, yeah, that's me. Honey, you got to go down to the
• 6:10
  gas station at the end of 4095 and tell them what you did.
• 6:13
  There's only our little our only little little cult following.
• 6:17
  They only know how we did. OK, switching subjects, people
• 6:29
  seem to be confused sometimes. Some somebody said, you know, I
• 6:35
  was congratulating Ben Kennedy, who owns NASCAR.
• 6:39
  I you know, Ben's up there trying to get this Bowman race
• 6:43
  going and I mean, he's got all this equipment.
• 6:46
  Ben's young. He's trying to find his way in
• 6:49
  the NASCAR. He's coming up with all this
• 6:51
  innovative ideas, you know, Chicago St. horse race, you
• 6:56
  know, Bowman Gray, Ben's got a lot on his plate and he's
• 6:58
  trying. He's trying really hard and
• 7:01
  nothing's really gone great, right?
• 7:03
  They've lost a lot of money in Chicago.
• 7:05
  They peeled out of there. You know, Bowman Gray was
• 7:09
  awesome last year and now this year the the weather's just
• 7:12
  stealing them a fit. And of course, you see everybody
• 7:15
  on the social media throwing their two cents in.
• 7:20
  You know, when you are above all that, when we see everybody
• 7:25
  complaining on social media, that's in the in the real world,
• 7:28
  like people that are smart, that's called white noise.
• 7:31
  That's, that's called the angry mob.
• 7:36
  These are people that don't have anything invested in it.
• 7:40
  They're just the angry mob. They should come back to
• 7:43
  Daytona. I'm like, the reason we left
• 7:47
  Daytona was nobody was there, you know, selective thinking,
• 7:51
  right? So anyway, I was just telling
• 7:55
  Ben, hey, Ben, good job, good job.
• 7:58
  You, you're trying A+ forever. So this one person gets on
• 8:03
  social media, goes hold on, Wallace, I thought you were
• 8:05
  criticizing that event. It dawned on me that for a lot
• 8:12
  of people, it's either yes or no.
• 8:15
  Kind of reminds me when you're being condemned on the
• 8:20
  courthouse, you know, some of these, you know, these
• 8:24
  proceedings, Sir, answer yes or no.
• 8:30
  I'm sorry. It's not a yes or no answer.
• 8:33
  What I mean is Ben Kennedy's doing a hell of a job trying to
• 8:36
  get that deal in. That's what I mean.
• 8:39
  So I don't condemn people. Now, here's where here's what
• 8:43
  what I am going to say. What the hell is Ben Kennedy
• 8:47
  thinking? Hey, let's run this thing on
• 8:52
  Wednesday. Ben, did you look at the weather
• 8:56
  before he decided let's run on Wednesday?
• 9:00
  I need a press conference. Ben, I need you to tell us all
• 9:04
  why. I want you to say Eric Shanks
• 9:06
  says that Fox says we need to do this deal on Wednesday.
• 9:11
  And because I'm smart, I'm thinking there's a reason
• 9:13
  they're going to try Wednesday, even though it shows rain.
• 9:16
  Even Bob Pockras, everybody in the industry is like, OK, let's
• 9:21
  run it on Wednesday, although it shows rain on Wednesday, doesn't
• 9:26
  show rain any other time, just Wednesday.
• 9:32
  So I'm smart, right? I got to tell you that
• 9:36
  sometimes, as the great Mike Helton from NASCAR says to me,
• 9:42
  Herman, pick up the phone and call us at NASCAR and I can pick
• 9:48
  up the phone anytime I want. But right now I don't want to
• 9:53
  because I'm sure there's a reason and I'm sure it's not Ben
• 9:57
  Kennedy going. We will run on Wednesday.
• 9:59
  It's a collective group of people like Eric Shanks, the
• 10:04
  president at Fox TV and the committee and maybe, you know,
• 10:10
  whoever. All right, everybody, do you
• 10:18
  know how many comments and how many views I've got because of
• 10:22
  this beautiful, beautiful vase? How about Charlie Marlow making
• 10:28
  a cartoon out of it? A backwards bong?
• 10:32
  You can't make a 2 reel. Use your brain.
• 10:37
  It's a comedy, everybody. Hey, I noticed when Charlie
• 10:41
  Marlow made the comedy of the bong, it's it's backwards.
• 10:45
  It's not a real bong, right?
