The Kyle Busch vs Denny Hamlin Feud + Racing Is Still Dangerous | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:02
  Happy Sunday morning, everybody. It's a nice, easy, calm Sunday
• 0:09
  morning. No drama outside, just a little
• 0:14
  chilly, but the skies are clear. Everything is good.
• 0:20
  Nothing wrong. All right, everybody.
• 0:24
  We, we got rained out for the big opener last night at I-55
• 0:31
  Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park, but we will be back there
• 0:35
  next Saturday if the weather allows it.
• 0:38
  So we'll see what happens. The Kyle Petty charity ride is
• 0:44
  coming up. We'll be leaving on April 29th.
• 0:49
  My God, it's already, it's already at the end of April, but
• 0:51
  that will be the next week. Kim and I will be flying out
• 0:56
  there with and Schrader, that crazy Kenny Schrader, he's
• 1:01
  riding his trike all the way out to San Francisco and he's going
• 1:07
  to come right back. And we're coming through
• 1:08
  Springfield, MO on the ride. We'll be stopping at one of the
• 1:13
  stops will be Springfield, MO, Johnny Morris's bass pro shops.
• 1:18
  But give Schrader a reason to be gone and he'll be gone.
• 1:23
  I don't, I don't think he likes staying around home.
• 1:28
  I think I know him better than anybody.
• 1:30
  I'll say Schrader, do you like your home?
• 1:33
  Sure. I said why?
• 1:34
  Why don't you ever want to be there?
• 1:36
  Well, I got things to do. But I love Schrader.
• 1:41
  He loves that open Rd. He loves it.
• 1:45
  He I'll fly somewhere and he'll go, why do you why did you fly?
• 1:50
  I'm like, why would I drive? So Schrader likes to drive
• 1:54
  everywhere. That was a mixed bag of nuts
• 1:59
  right there. Rained out at Pevely and the
• 2:03
  Kyle Petty Charity ride starts May 1st.
• 2:05
  But we sent our bike out there already on the Kyle Petty Cherry
• 2:10
  Ride tractor trailer. So ours got sent out on a big
• 2:14
  old tractor trailer. And that was my point.
• 2:17
  Schrader's riding his out so he can come right back to where he
• 2:20
  went. It's it's all good.
• 2:23
  We're just poking. OK everybody.
• 2:27
  That was the monologue once again.
• 2:31
  The mobile One coffee mugs are going to be available.
• 2:35
  I think on Wednesday or Thursday.
• 2:37
  The mobile one coffee mugs, we're going to have that logo
• 2:41
  still. We're going to go with that
• 2:42
  logo. We're going to keep that logo,
• 2:44
  but it's going to say Mobile 1 racing and it's going to be a
• 2:48
  good looking coffee mug. Of course the shirts should be
• 2:51
  out, maybe not this week, but next week.
• 2:54
  But go to shopkennywallace.com right now.
• 2:57
  It's so easy, man. That shop Kenny Wallace, they
• 3:00
  made that easy and we got the Coffee with Kenny T-shirts right
• 3:06
  there. Decals, hats, our ghost shirts.
• 3:09
  So we got it all a lot to discuss this morning.
• 3:20
  The danger of somebody like me having my own podcast.
• 3:28
  You know, you, it's a deal. Years ago it was like I
• 3:31
  remember, you know, as soon as you go in the media, that means
• 3:34
  your racing career is over because that means that's what
• 3:37
  you do. I mean, we're talking 30-40
• 3:39
  years ago, but that sure has changed.
• 3:44
  Denny Hamlin has actions detrimental, gives his opinion
• 3:51
  on why Kyle Busch is struggling. Of course, this is served up to
• 3:59
  him by the show host on action's detrimental.
• 4:03
  So the show's host sits across, you know, the table and the guy
• 4:08
  goes, hey, you know, what do you think about, you know, Richard
• 4:11
  Childress racing Kyle Busch? And let the drama begin.
• 4:18
  And I'm here to respond on it. The other subject today is going
• 4:22
  to be the danger of racing and what we saw happened to Carson
• 4:27
  Quapal. He got hit in the left rear by
• 4:29
  William Byron yesterday in the O'Reilly race and he went to
• 4:33
  flop and that air got underneath his car.
• 4:36
  And then, of course, the death at Nurburgring.
• 4:42
  I'm not even going to announce the man's name because I don't
• 4:46
  even know how to pronounce it. Meeting.
• 4:48
  Is that how you say the the man's last name?
• 4:52
  God bless his soul. He got into a big six car wreck.
• 4:57
  Feels so bad for him. Here.
• 4:59
  Here. It's on my radar because you
• 5:01
  know, everybody was wanting to know.
• 5:02
  How fast did you run Nurburgering?
• 5:04
  I'm like, you don't get it. Nurburgering is not about speed.
• 5:08
  It's a road course now on that front.
• 5:10
  Straightaway, you can haul ass. And I did get up to 147, I said.
• 5:14
  But when I got there, you know, they put the fear of God in me.
• 5:19
  They said, we kill four to five people a year here.
• 5:22
  And, you know, people are like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 5:26
  And then when it really happens, people are like, oh, my God, be
• 5:30
  careful. So Max Verstappen is over there
• 5:33
  right now. I I don't know if the race is
• 5:35
  over. They're qualifying right now.
• 5:37
  These are qualifier races for the 24 Hours of Nurburgring.
• 5:44
  And this older man, he, he was driving a good looking.
• 5:46
  I don't know what it was, but they wrecked so hard.
• 5:50
  I mean, I, I saw the in car picture from somebody else
• 5:54
  yesterday. I mean, they wrecked and Mr.
• 5:57
  Meat and I don't know how to say his name.
• 5:59
  I apologize, respond right here. But he had a bad wreck and
• 6:04
  already another death at Nurburgring.
• 6:09
  Racing is inherently very dangerous sport.
• 6:13
  And I, I talked about how when I was in TV, they said people feel
• 6:18
  like since we got a safer car, the safer barriers, a better
• 6:26
  seat, the Hans device, everything's better.
• 6:28
  Everything's way safer. But TV, when I was in TV, if you
• 6:34
  remember this, I told you all this about three months ago.
• 6:37
  TV felt like the reason the sport was dying was because
• 6:43
  people felt like it wasn't dangerous anymore.
• 6:46
  And Fox executives told me and my comrades, they said make sure
• 6:51
  you remind everybody that the sport is dangerous.
• 6:56
  So yesterday at the O'Reilly race, William Byron got into
• 7:00
  Carson Guapo and and it's a reminder there's a sport is
• 7:03
  still very dangerous. Really happy to see Carson get
• 7:07
  out of that car unbothered. Not even the thing.
• 7:12
  But then Nurburgring reminds us that you can get killed.
• 7:16
  So never, never, you know, ease up on safety.
• 7:21
  Safety is everything. We don't have to kill people to
• 7:24
  put on a show everybody. That's the bottom line.
• 7:32
  What? What do you want?
• 7:34
  Treat? Hold on, Louis.
• 7:40
  Hold on. I'll get you the treat.
• 7:42
  I got to finish coffee with Kenny.
• 7:47
  And yes, those are Christmas pyjamas.
• 7:49
  Been wearing the same ones for years.
• 7:53
  Wash them every once in a while. Smell the ass.
• 7:55
  See if it smells like poop. It don't smell.
• 7:59
  It smells good. Just keep wearing them.
• 8:03
  That was bad. OK, let's say it like this.
• 8:08
  Denny Hamlin has actions detrimental.
• 8:12
  It gets served up. Hey, what do you think about RCR
• 8:16
  and Kyle Busch? So Denny says, he says, man, I
• 8:19
  know that that's driving Kyle Busch nuts.
• 8:24
  Now I want to say this, OK, this is my disclaimer.
• 8:28
  I'm nobody. All I've ever done is win 9
• 8:32
  Xfinity races. I'm nobody.
• 8:34
  They're way better than me. Well, look at that.
• 8:39
  Good one. Hold on.
• 8:40
  Give me a break. One, one second.
• 8:42
  One second. He's like you told me you'd give
• 8:45
  me a tree. Tree.
• 8:50
  Looks like John Force. Look you like John Force.
• 8:54
  He's a drag car. One second.
• 8:55
  Let me finish. I'm almost done.
• 8:58
  Don't say tree. I'll get you one.
• 9:01
  Hell, he's jacked up on Sun Drop.
• 9:03
  Look at him. So here's the bottom line.
• 9:07
  The media goes running. So there's disturbers.
• 9:12
  That's the bottom line. Of course, that's the media's
• 9:15
  job. The media goes running to
• 9:17
  Kabush. Kabush.
• 9:18
  Did you see what Denny Hamlin said about you?
• 9:22
  Now, I already told you I'm nobody, OK?
• 9:24
  They're way better than me. They're way better than me.
• 9:26
  I can't even drive. Tell him why.
• 9:29
  I don't even know how I stayed in NASCAR for 905 NASCAR races.
• 9:34
  I have no idea how I won nine NASCAR O'Reilly races.
• 9:39
  OK, all right, now that we beat me up, now I'm going to give my
• 9:42
  opinion. You see how that works?
• 9:45
  Hey, Wallace, you were never no good anyway.
• 9:47
  Why you? Because I'm going to give my my
• 9:49
  opinion. Or almost cussed.
• 9:51
  I almost cussed in my day. Darryl Waltz would run that
• 10:00
  mouth. Rusty Wallace would run that
• 10:02
  mouth. Dale Senior would say I just
• 10:06
  meant to rattle his cage. So in my day, everybody run that
• 10:12
  mouth. Everybody did that.
• 10:13
  That's what made NASCAR great back in the day.
• 10:18
  Hey, what do you think of RCR? What do you think of Kyle Bush
• 10:21
  and Denny Hamlin? Just sincerely goes, man, I know
• 10:24
  it's I know it's driving Kyle Bush nuts that you know, his cup
• 10:28
  cards not running good. Now here we go.
• 10:32
  We're splitting hairs. We're getting into well, he and
• 10:34
  he said and you know, come on. And he said thereof and and
• 10:40
  that's what he meant. We all like to listen to what
• 10:44
  people have to say, especially somebody that's won 60 something
• 10:49
  cup races. I mean, Denny Hamlin's a first
• 10:52
  ballot Hall of Famer just like Kyle Bush is.
• 10:55
  Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin are Hall of farmers, and here's what
• 11:01
  I have to say about that. Dust up more, please.
• 11:06
  It was awesome. We need more of it.
• 11:09
  Keep talking to you guys. Because that's what makes it
• 11:12
  just like the Bristol night race when Rusty threw that water
• 11:16
  bottle and hit Earnhardt in the nose.
• 11:18
  They came out with a song. So more of this, boys.
• 11:22
  And Danny, you just keep talking.
• 11:25
  Have a great Sunday, everybody.
