• 0:23
  And so he gave me this business card.
• 0:27
  And you Chase. He chases race tracks.

• 0:38
  It's my 83rd track to see in Florida.

  This year I've already track chased.
• 0:42
  I've seen ice racing in France, Austria and Finland.
• 0:46
  Next Monday I leave for Australia.
• 0:48
  I've seen racing in 87 countries.
• 0:50
  OK, now I'm not making fun of everybody like Ben Shelton and
• 0:56
  all my dirt racers. This is track 400 and. 22.
• 0:59
  For me back down, boys. And you know, Schrader is on the
• 1:04
  list as well as a track chaser. He's somewhere around 3 and a
• 1:06
  quarter 350, something like that.
• 1:08
  Kenny has raced everywhere except, well, he he went to, we
• 1:12
  went to Alaska. I don't.
• 1:14
  I think, you know, I think he's done Australia maybe.
• 1:18
  I'm going to. I'm going to chime in just for a
• 1:20
  second because I was talking to this gentleman as you went and
• 1:22
  got your phone. Tell him about all I asked.
• 1:25
  If he's the only one that does this, he goes, Oh no, we got a
• 1:28
  group of guys at them. Yeah, there's about 300 guys who
• 1:31
  track Chase and they've seen 100 tracks or more.
• 1:34
  That's just the people who've submitted a list.
• 1:36
  There's a lot of other people who've seen racing a lot of
• 1:38
  places, but they're not officially listed.
• 1:41
  And I think there's about 1000. I've seen 1000.
• 1:45
  I'm more than 1000 tracks ahead of the guy who's in second
• 1:47
  place, and I do this about 40 weekends a year.
• 1:51
  I travel. Next year.
• 1:56
  Wow, that's awesome. I've.
• 1:58
  Been doing. I've averaged more than 100 new.
• 2:00
  Tracks every. Year for the past 25 years.
• 2:04
  Yeah. So you know because I'm, I'm
• 2:07
  worldly and I I I think how people are thinking.
• 2:11
  So people are going to say how are you able to do this?
• 2:15
  So you look like a A he's a good looking man.
• 2:19
  He's well put together. So obviously you work for a
• 2:21
  living and you're financially doing good, and you're able to
• 2:25
  do this because my friends sit their ass home on the couch.
• 2:29
  Well, I do that too, but I'm working.
• 2:32
  So what do you do? Actually, I grew up really near
• 2:35
  you. I grew up around Peoria, IL.
• 2:37
  Peoria, Yeah. Caterpillar.
• 2:39
  Caterpillar. I worked at Caterpillar Three
• 2:41
  Sons for college and worked for Procter and Gamble and retired
• 2:46
  when I was 52. That was a long time ago.
• 2:49
  Procter and Gamble. Save my money.
• 2:51
  Now I'm spending it. That's what you got to do when
• 2:53
  you earn money. Save it.
• 2:55
  And then? Spend it.
• 2:56
  I want to emphasize, earn money. They didn't spend it on a race
• 3:00
  car like you all did. OK, Kenny, you got to get
• 3:02
  involved in this. Trader, you got to you got to
• 3:04
  come here. This gentleman you guys
• 3:08
  introduced yourself? I know you are a track chaser as
• 3:13
  well. Yeah, they got you.
• 3:15
  Go on your website. What's the website?
• 3:19
  Roamingtheraceways.com is 1 and I have my own website for
• 3:23
  because I'm the world's number one track chaser at 2949 tracks
• 3:29
  in 87 countries. You got your beach straight.
• 3:33
  I'm just a pup. And I know there are guys.
• 3:38
  I've been going through this with them some and they have you
• 3:43
  down for a bunch of packs. That's why I got a race there.
• 3:45
  So what? Just we can't let you go.
• 3:47
  I said, well I don't count if I go, but we're we're closing and
• 3:51
  we're right at 500 so we've raced at.
• 3:54
  Wow. That's.
• 3:54
  Crazy. What a So you you ran Alaska?
• 3:59
  You 2. States.
• 4:01
  So what states have you not raced at?
• 4:03
  OK, hold on. OK, let's have fun.
• 4:05
  What states has Kenny Schrader not raced at?
• 4:09
  Piece of cake, Hawaii and Rhode Island, yeah.
• 4:12
  And Hawaii. I got to keep track of my.
• 4:15
  I've got offers to go to Hawaii and race.
• 4:17
  That's not a problem. Rhode Island doesn't have.
• 4:19
  Rhode Island doesn't currently have a track now every now and
• 4:23
  then or they have in the past in Providence one more than.
• 4:27
  The very first one was the Barnyard Raceway in Rhode
• 4:30
  Island. Guy races in his backyard.
• 4:33
  But see, what you got to think about is everybody comes to
• 4:36
  track chasing with their own. Hold on, let's steam bullshit
• 4:39
  this a little bit. Somebody put a little go Kart
• 4:41
  track in the backyard. No stock cart track.
• 4:44
  Stock cart track and they called once a.
• 4:45
  Year and it was a pretty nice little Oval about 1/4 mile.
• 4:49
  Stranders in tune to this. I'm watching the side face and
• 4:52
  he's like, yeah, I mean. It's great lot.
• 4:54
  Of fun. When I talk to Rd. course racers
• 4:56
  in foreign countries, they think Oval racing is not racing.
• 5:00
  So I mean, everybody's got their perspective and that's the point
• 5:03
  of our track chasing is when people show it up, they go, hey,
• 5:06
  I don't count this, I. Don't like it?
• 5:09
  I don't count this. OK, So changing subjects.
• 5:12
  I'm thinking about Kenny Schrader keeping track right
• 5:15
  now. My brother, Mike Wallace.
• 5:17
  Kenny Schrader. Two of the best penmanship
• 5:20
  people in the world. Their handwriting is incredible.
• 5:24
  So Kenny, my question is do you write all this down And and
• 5:28
  where's your records at? About 200 feet from me right
• 5:33
  now. Really.
• 5:35
  So you carry it with you all the time I've been gone?
• 5:38
  For a while, that's. Cool.
• 5:46
  A book from every year. Hey, a fun fact about Kenny
• 5:49
  Schrader. Do you have your first pay sheet
• 5:52
  from your first race? What do you have?
• 5:56
  From what do you? I know you got everything.
• 6:00
  Years ago I read it a lot of stuff, but no, I got the records
• 6:03
  of it but I don't think I got that.
• 6:05
  Well, some of my original books. But then I made a farm this
• 6:09
  update now every night I can't answer that question, but if we
• 6:14
  find it in the moves. So I don't know everything I'm
• 6:18
  I'm going to life. And it was a lot of really nice
• 6:27
  books, I guess some of your records.
• 6:29
  And then you. Yeah, that was the book that I'm
• 6:34
  talking about. Oh my.
• 6:35
  God, yeah. If you would have lost that man,
• 6:37
  it wouldn't have been good for you.
• 6:39
  I took how much you made. In your first race, Yeah.
• 6:43
  How much? How much, 200?
• 6:45
  I don't. Make $200 in his first race I
• 6:47
  don't make. That a lot of Times Now.
• 6:52
  Well, this is incredible content.
• 6:54
  This man I'd never met in my life walked up, said this to me.
• 6:57
  I said hold on, let me go get my phone.
• 6:59
  And then you started talking and you brought up Kenny, but so you
• 7:03
  raced in Australia once or twice.
• 7:06
  Once, yeah. So what I'm doing right now is
• 7:09
  I'm getting this video to 8 minutes because that's what they
• 7:12
  like on YouTube. 8 minutes is key.
• 7:14
  I raced. In Japan.
• 7:16
  How many, how many, how many times did you race in Japan,
• 7:22
  Mike? I only.
• 7:22
  Want to watch? I watch the Twin Rank and
• 7:24
  Mosaic. I ran a Suzuka circuit in Motifi
• 7:29
  and I had more fun with the PIA. Like everything is fish, fish,
• 7:35
  fish over there. You go to McDonald's and you get
• 7:39
  a rice burger. It's a it's rice and it's a give
• 7:43
  it to you and place it a hamburger.
• 7:44
  Terry, Terry, Levi and I raced in Melbourne and someone gave us
• 7:50
  their car to go in town, to go to McDonald's and you're driving

  on the wrong side. We come up to a roundabout and
• 7:58
  I'm like really think about this, Terry, Really, really

• 8:08
  Something. All right.
