The NASCAR Xfinity Series Deserves An A$$ Chewing | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:03
  Happy Sunday morning everybody. We are back.
• 0:09
  We've been gone for like 10 days.
• 0:12
  We are back from our seven day cruise, but we left early, went
• 0:16
  to Orlando and we had the best time.
• 0:22
  We had such a good time. They say we got some rough
• 0:26
  weather moving in between now and 3:00 today, so Herminator is
• 0:30
  going to be on the lookout. All right?
• 0:35
  My mind is neutralized. I feel good.
• 0:40
  I feel good like I knew that I would now.
• 0:45
  So we'll talk about my vacation later on, but we're going to get
• 0:51
  right to that Xfinity race yesterday in Martinsville.
• 0:54
  So we land yesterday at about 5:00 and check my phone, look at
• 1:00
  everything and all Hell's breaking loose.
• 1:02
  Sammy Smith. Sammy Smith in the 8 car, turn
• 1:08
  it into a demolition Derby. He said if I can't win this son
• 1:11
  of a bitch, I'm just going to knock the hell out of Taylor
• 1:14
  Gray. I'm going to play like a
• 1:16
  demolition Derby. I'm not even trying to pass him.
• 1:19
  I'm just going to run in the corner so hard coming to the
• 1:22
  checkered flag that I'm just going to wipe this guy out
• 1:25
  leading the race, not even going to try to pass him.
• 1:30
  All right, Hold that thought right there.
• 1:35
  Holy hell. All broke loose.
• 1:37
  And the art of racing has been changed forever.
• 1:42
  These young kids have grown up watching Earnhardt, you know?
• 1:48
  You know, the first thing you're gonna say is Earnhardt used to
• 1:50
  do it. Hold on.
• 1:52
  Now. Hold on, Dale Senior.
• 1:55
  He'd knock you out of the way. Sometimes he'd spin you out.
• 1:59
  But when he hit you, he won the race.
• 2:03
  Here was the problem yesterday. We're going to get to this, this
• 2:11
  psychology of why these young kids just destroy each other
• 2:14
  nowadays, Don't even try to pass each other.
• 2:19
  These young drivers, they're, they're losing a respect.
• 2:23
  The older drivers, the great drivers, The mayor Jeff Burton,
• 2:27
  he was pissed yesterday. The mayor Jeff Burton, he called
• 2:31
  him out. Now I know y'all don't like
• 2:33
  Denny Hamlin. Denny Hamlin said if I was in
• 2:36
  that TV booth, they'd fire me 'cause I'd call them all out.
• 2:41
  Every single NASCAR Cup driver, that's anybody that made it to
• 2:47
  the big time and they've won 30 to 40 Cup races.
• 2:52
  They said what they saw yesterday was the ugliest thing
• 2:55
  ever. And I would have to say it rates
• 2:59
  right there. It's probably the new ugliest
• 3:03
  thing ever. So let's go through it all
• 3:05
  right. First of all, you can respond
• 3:09
  right here, but let's let's just say this.
• 3:12
  Let's say it was a 200 lap race. There was 100 caution laps and
• 3:18
  100 green flag laps. It was a very, very ugly race.
• 3:22
  They were just wrecking each other like what the is going on.
• 3:28
  It was, it was like, it was like the Joker.
• 3:31
  You know, on, on the, on the movies.
• 3:33
  You know the Joker when he blows up and kills like 100 people, he
• 3:36
  goes, are you not entertained? Are you entertained?
• 3:43
  Martinsville was entertaining. Are you not entertained?
• 3:46
  It's crazy. So let's just say everybody's
• 3:52
  wrecking everybody all day long. It's like, Oh my God, we got to
• 3:55
  go. We got a caution.
• 3:57
  And it's like every time they went green flag, it's like, hold
• 4:00
  the door, watch this. They're going to run into each
• 4:02
  other again. They're not even going to try to
• 4:03
  pass each other. It's so strange because if I did
• 4:08
  that stuff to Tommy Ellis or Jack Ingram, they would kick my
• 4:14
  ass after the race. See, in my day, Oh, here we go.
• 4:18
  Here we go. In my day, yes, In my day.
• 4:23
  The reason we couldn't get away with that is because those guys
• 4:27
  would kick my ass after the race, and then they would shame
• 4:31
  me. Shame I Hey, Wallace.
• 4:35
  Yes, Sir. You want to go anywhere in this
• 4:38
  NASCAR? Yes, Sir.
• 4:40
  You keep driving like that. I'm going to make sure you
• 4:42
  don't. That's the way they talk to you.
• 4:46
  Dale Senior, talk to you like that.
• 4:48
  Dave Marcus talk to you like that.
• 4:51
  Then all of a sudden, Jeff Burton became our mayor and he
• 4:54
  would call you out. And yesterday Jeff Burton called
• 4:58
  all those kids out. So Sammy Smith, Sammy, I'm
• 5:03
  sorry, buddy, but you're going to you're going to be shamed for
• 5:07
  a while from the greatest NASCAR drivers.
• 5:10
  And they did it. They did it right there on X.
• 5:13
  There it all is. I'm not even saying it.
• 5:16
  I'm not in trouble. But you are buddy.
• 5:19
  Sammy, you're in trouble. And I know you're a great
• 5:22
  talented race car driver and I know my days are over.
• 5:25
  I get it, Pick pick on me all you want, but I still don't say
• 5:29
  what I want to say. So you can talk about me all you
• 5:33
  want but you deserve an ass tune today Sammy.
• 5:36
  Now I love you. Pretend you're one of my kids.
• 5:40
  I'm a spank your ass. So you remembered that day, All
• 5:44
  right, from one Xfinity driver to another, All right, Remember,
• 5:50
  I am the mayor right now. I am the mayor of the Xfinity
• 5:55
  Series. So I have room to chew your ass
• 5:57
  out, Sammy. Sammy, you can't do that.
• 6:01
  Even As for the win, even if it locks you in the playoffs, you
• 6:04
  can't do it because all the other bullies are doing it.
• 6:08
  Now you got all those, all those Cup drivers like Mark Martin.
• 6:13
  You know, I can tell you this too.
• 6:15
  Dale Junior, not too happy about it.
• 6:17
  And when you piss Dale Junior off, you know, he had to be a
• 6:21
  little neutral yesterday. So in my day, they would shame
• 6:31
  you and it would ricochet throughout the garage area that
• 6:34
  Wallace is a dumbass. We don't like him.
• 6:37
  And they'd all raw, raw. It would destroy your life.
• 6:43
  You wouldn't be able to sleep. You'd be in your living room
• 6:45
  watching the fan go round because the whole garage area
• 6:48
  has shamed me. So that's what's going on right
• 6:52
  now, Sammy. Sammy, slamming Sammy's your new
• 6:56
  name. Slamming Sammy.
• 7:01
  That was Sammy Swindell's old nickname.
• 7:04
  Slamming Sammy Swindell. But Sammy, you can't give up
• 7:13
  your soul to make it to the playoffs.
• 7:17
  You got a long way to go yet. You're a good driver.
• 7:22
  You got a fast race car. You can certainly win one of
• 7:25
  these races, you and I. I know the rally cry is we got
• 7:31
  to wreck people because that puts us in the playoffs.
• 7:35
  That's so stupid. That's the dumbest thing I've
• 7:38
  ever heard. All right, so here, here's what
• 7:43
  happens. They got the white flag in
• 7:45
  there. Sammy Taylor Gray passes you,
• 7:48
  clears you, and you're going down the back straight away.
• 7:51
  And Bobby Allison told me this. You forgot, Sammy, where you
• 7:55
  were on the racetrack. I'm going to say that one more
• 7:58
  time, Sammy, you forgot where you are on the racetrack.
• 8:02
  You're like, you were so laser on wrecking that kid that you
• 8:07
  forgot. Oh, the corners coming up.
• 8:08
  I got to make the corner. Here's where you messed up.
• 8:15
  You didn't win the race. If you're gonna wreck Taylor,
• 8:19
  you gotta finish it off and you gotta win the race.
• 8:23
  Not did you not win the race. See, that's where Earnhardt
• 8:27
  would get us. Earnhardt would wreck us and
• 8:29
  then he'd win the race. You don't got to demolish the
• 8:35
  other driver to win the race. You can move him up the track,
• 8:38
  go in the corner with him, go in the corner, get down in there,
• 8:41
  push him, push him up. We've all been there.
• 8:46
  Now, if you go back to that Richmond video where I knocked
• 8:49
  the hell out of David Greene getting in the three, I go in
• 8:52
  the corner and I pop David Greene in the ass and I move him
• 8:55
  up the track and I get underneath them and I win the
• 8:57
  race. Now we've all wrecked people
• 9:01
  before. I'm not, I'm, I'm not perfect by
• 9:03
  any means. We, we, we're all bad people.
• 9:07
  We're all sinners. But the next time you do that,
• 9:09
  go down in that corner, lift him up in the middle of ass like
• 9:13
  Harry Gantt taught me. Harry Gantt moved me at Bristol
• 9:16
  and I didn't even know I've been moved.
• 9:18
  Tommy Ellis, Hell, I mean, you know, Jack Ingram, I run South
• 9:23
  Boston one night and I popped everybody Mass, every corner and
• 9:27
  moved them up track and I passed them.
• 9:30
  Oh, Robert Presley saw Jack Ingram at the restaurant, asked
• 9:34
  Robert Presley this story. Robert Presley tells him this.
• 9:38
  He said, Herman, we ran South Boston one night and he said you
• 9:42
  had a bad qualifying run and Jack Ingram was behind you.
• 9:45
  I said, I remember that night in every corner.
• 9:48
  I pop that guy in the ass. I move him up track and I get
• 9:50
  underneath him. Jack Ingram followed me from
• 9:54
  like 15th all the way up to six and I cleared everybody, Pop
• 9:59
  pass, pop pass. And then all of a sudden Jack
• 10:04
  Ingram popped me in the ass and moved me out of the way and went
• 10:06
  on. And Robert Presley says he walks
• 10:11
  in this restaurant and he says he hears Jack Ingram going on.
• 10:16
  And he said he said that Wallace moved every one of those cars
• 10:20
  out of the way for me. And then he said when it come
• 10:22
  time I moved him, that's the way we raced.
• 10:26
  Now, everyone's while you mess up, you wreck somebody.
• 10:31
  But if you're going to wreck somebody for the win, you got to
• 10:35
  win the race. You didn't win the race, All
• 10:39
  right. I believe I chewed your ass out
• 10:41
  for 10 minutes. I love you, buddy.
• 10:44
  Just a lesson from now on, OK, if you're going to drive like
• 10:48
  that, you got to win the race. That's what made it look bad.
• 10:50
  You didn't win the race. 5th place Austin Hill, 5th place
• 10:55
  Austin Hill in the middle of the corner in the middle three and
• 10:58
  four clears all of you and wins the race.
• 11:00
  All right, all of you Xfinity drivers straighten your up.
• 11:05
  You look stupid. You did.
• 11:09
  You did. You couldn't even go green flag.
• 11:11
  All right, here's what NASCAR is going to do from now on.
• 11:19
  OK, my message to NASCAR you, you can't have a free for all
• 11:24
  NASCAR, OK? You cannot have a free fall.
• 11:28
  Here's what I'm going to say to you.
• 11:31
  It it, it's balls and strikes, OK?
• 11:35
  If somebody hits somebody on the last so many laps and that
• 11:41
  person spins out, the person that hit him goes to the back of
• 11:45
  the pack. That's it.
• 11:47
  The end. Earnhardt used to tell me go,
• 11:51
  Herman, I like you because when I hit you, you would save it.
• 11:55
  So it's balls and strikes. I'm telling you what I would do
• 11:59
  right now. NASCAR needs to do this.
• 12:01
  If you go down the corner and you know, if if somebody hits
• 12:06
  you and that leader spins out that guy, that guy goes to the
• 12:10
  back of the pack. See, they couldn't.
• 12:12
  Now, I still expect to find coming.
• 12:14
  I still expect to find coming to Sammy Smith because it was it
• 12:19
  that was ugly. Nobody got fined because all the
• 12:22
  dumb asses wrecked themselves out and the guy running 5th won
• 12:25
  the race. So what I just did today is I
• 12:28
  mixed in a little bit of what I saw in the way re raced and I'm
• 12:31
  telling you how I'd fix it. OK.
• 12:34
  The way I would fix it is I would say, all right, gentlemen,
• 12:40
  the next person that does what Davy Allison and Ricky Rudd did
• 12:44
  30 years ago at Sears Point, we're going to do what we did
• 12:47
  back then. See, I got receipts.
• 12:51
  Remember what happened? Ricky Rudd come down, blasted
• 12:55
  Davy Allison in the ass, spun him out and Ricky Rudd went on
• 12:59
  to win the race. But NASCAR said, Nope, you don't
• 13:02
  get to win the race. They they made that call that
• 13:04
  day. So from now on, since you
• 13:06
  Xfinity guys are out of hand, the teachers got to start
• 13:09
  paddling. Some of you, y'all are young and
• 13:14
  y'all are stupid right now. So that's the new rules.
• 13:19
  NASCAR is going to do that because I'm telling them to.
• 13:24
  We're having fun now, but that's what I want to see done.
• 13:27
  That is my fix. The next time you're coming to
• 13:31
  the checkered flag, I'm going to say it for a third time.
• 13:33
  I'm repeating myself. If that second place guy spins
• 13:37
  the leader out, since that's that leaders spun out, they both
• 13:42
  go to the back of the pack even if they finish under green.
• 13:47
  And then whoever was running third, he's the winner to race
• 13:51
  that so on so forth. So I just, I just told you
• 13:53
  everything. All right, I think I've
• 13:57
  addressed that problem. Respond right here.
• 14:02
  I'm pretty proud of my little speech today because I mixed it
• 14:05
  all in. I told you the difference
• 14:06
  between our days and your days and our days.
• 14:09
  They shame you, buddy. That's the biggest thing that
• 14:13
  Jeff Burton always talked about. You want respect in that garage
• 14:16
  area right now, Sammy, you go to that next race, you might have
• 14:20
  to do what Ernie Irvin did, and I'm going to leave you all with
• 14:21
  this. Ernie Irvin, in my day, he had
• 14:25
  to get up in front of the whole damn drivers meeting and he
• 14:28
  apologized to all the drivers. So Sammy, you do that, OK?
• 14:33
  You get up in front of the next drivers meeting, put your head
• 14:36
  down and go. Guys, I'm sorry.
• 14:38
  I was a dumb ass. I got so wrapped up, and if I
• 14:41
  wrecked the driver to win, I get in the playoffs and my career is
• 14:44
  complete. No, it don't work that way,
• 14:47
  guys. It don't work that way.
• 14:52
  We've all been there, Sammy, It's your turn, all right.
• 14:58
  Look up the history books, Google it, YouTube it, whatever
• 15:00
  you want. Ernie Irving apologizing in
• 15:04
  front of the whole NASCAR Cup starting field.
• 15:08
  It it might come up. At least the article will.
• 15:11
  We've seen this movie before. It's just, it's just your turn.
• 15:15
  All right, everybody have a great, great Sunday.
