NASCAR Sent Me Something | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:03
  I, I'm back from Florida, just got something from NASCAR.
• 0:08
  I think I know what it is. We're going to open it up
• 0:11
  together because that's what I do.
• 0:15
  I create content this kind of like Kenny Wallace.
• 0:19
  My, my, it was funny. My my nephew Greg Wallace,
• 0:24
  Rusty's boy, he's real mature and he's like, no, Kenny,
• 0:28
  seriously, what is Kenny Wallace Media?
• 0:32
  I said. I said, well, great.
• 0:36
  First of all, Charlie Marlow named it Kenny Wallace Media.
• 0:40
  But however, Kenny Wallace Media is just that.
• 0:44
  It's the Kenny Wallace YouTube show.
• 0:46
  It's Kenny conversation, it's coffee with Kenny.
• 0:50
  And now we are in collaboration with Dale Earnhardt, Junior
• 0:54
  Dirty MO Media, Mike Davis, and we got Herman Schrader over
• 0:58
  there, we got Kenny conversations on The Dirty MO
• 1:02
  podcast, we have the Rick Mass show, so Kenny Wallace Media,
• 1:09
  whoever thought old redneck dirt racer.
• 1:11
  Then I bought 1 of that damn feature and they're like eat
• 1:15
  everything. And I said Earnhardt's my man.
• 1:18
  I lucky daddy. I eat.
• 1:21
  All right, there it is. Can you see it, alumni, NASCAR
• 1:27
  alumni? Now I want to say this.
• 1:30
  Oh, Ed Balklavik, my dear friend, he's a microbiologist.
• 1:33
  Eddie's always wanting to know what's up.
• 1:35
  He says, so do you join the alumni?
• 1:38
  I said, Eddie, let's get this straight.
• 1:41
  You don't join the alumni. NASCAR reaches out to
• 1:45
  individuals and ask if you would be part of the NASCAR alumni.
• 1:50
  So it's not for everybody. So, Eddie, you just don't join
• 1:55
  the NASCAR alumni. It is drivers that have to
• 1:58
  qualify for the NASCAR alumni. I think something so many
• 2:02
  starts. You, you know, in other words,
• 2:04
  it's an honor. Eddie, this is an honor.
• 2:06
  You don't join the NASCAR alumni.
• 2:09
  They offer you an invitation. OK, so now that we got that
• 2:13
  straight. Oh yeah, let's see.
• 2:29
  It's my hard card, so here it is.
• 2:33
  I'm going to read it to you all. It says welcome to the 2025
• 2:39
  NASCAR season. Thank you for your continued
• 2:42
  support of an involvement in NASCAR.
• 2:47
  We value our relationship Kenny Wallace with those that have
• 2:51
  helped you create the legacy of Motorsports.
• 2:54
  We welcome your involvement in the NASCAR alumni network and
• 2:58
  look forward to seeing you at the racetrack this year with
• 3:01
  warm wishes. Amber Wells.
• 3:04
  Amber Wells. So there it is.
• 3:11
  OK. So by God, we'll just need both
• 3:15
  dish right now. Wow.
• 3:18
  They give you all types of stuff, but there it is.
• 3:21
  Race fans. They kept the picture, so I sent
• 3:27
  them my old. I sent them one of my old
• 3:30
  pictures from like 1996. So I want to thank Amber Wells,
• 3:35
  I want to thank Mike Kelton, I want to thank Jim France.
• 3:39
  I can do anything I want, but I got to be a good guy.
• 3:43
  There it is. There it is race fans.
• 3:47
  Let's see. Can you see it?
• 3:49
  Good. There it is, huh?
• 3:52
  Isn't that something that is really nice of NASCAR?
• 3:58
  So that is that is very nice. I'm honored.
• 4:01
  They don't give that to anybody. That means I'm somebody.
• 4:06
  I we're having fun. Calm down.
• 4:13
  OK, now there. Remember I told you that Amber
• 4:18
  really likes me running the dirt card?
• 4:21
  So I put these on my dirt card. They usually send you one, but
• 4:26
  Amber knows me, so one's going to go on each side.
• 4:29
  NASCAR creates a newsletter for the alumni, you know, for Rick
• 4:32
  Mass and myself and Brother Rusty and you know every and
• 4:37
  brother Mike and whoever's in the NASCAR alumni.
• 4:40
  But NASCAR has to approve you. They reach out to you, they call
• 4:44
  you. Will you?
• 4:45
  We would be honored to have you. So.
• 4:48
  So they're going to follow my dirt racing and they've already
• 4:52
  are posting pictures from my Volusia Racing.
• 4:55
  So we got, you know, just some really nice stuff here.
• 5:00
  So what? Yeah, good stuff.
• 5:04
  Nice heavy, heavy magnet. All right, NASCAR schedule.
• 5:10
  Nice Mark Pen. So OK, thank you, Amber.
• 5:14
  Thank you, Amber Wells for putting this together.
• 5:18
  Remember what Mike Helton said? It was I was at Darlington.
• 5:22
  It was Mike Helton and Jim France.
• 5:23
  I went up to Mike. I said Mike, Mr. France, thank
• 5:26
  you. And Mike Helton said to me at
• 5:30
  Darlington, he says Kenny, Jim France and myself got to talking
• 5:35
  and and we we thought this is well overdue.
• 5:38
  So thank you to the NASCAR alumni and Amber Wells and I
• 5:43
  will show up at some NASCAR Cup races this year.
• 5:48
  And within the next two years. I think Justin Agar is going to
• 5:53
  break my most starts record. So I have the most starts, you
• 5:57
  know, I remind you of that and super excited to and it won't be
• 6:04
  this year, but maybe next year Justin will break my most
• 6:07
  starts. I have 547 Xfinity starts.
• 6:11
  So just a little content for the day.
• 6:14
  Kenny Wallace media just looking for something to put in the show
• 6:17
  and there you go. I'm incredibly honored.
• 6:22
  So when we go to Hey Amber, I know you're going to watch this
• 6:25
  when I do the trackside live appearances at all of Marcus's
• 6:31
  tracks. Can we?
• 6:33
  You're probably going to do it at the NASCAR tracks, but but
• 6:35
  that thing's nice or no, it's this that's heavy.
• 6:38
  So anyway, maybe I can be part of the NASCAR alumni at some of
• 6:46
  the trackside live events, who knows?
• 6:48
  But anyway, thank you again, Amber.
• 6:51
  Thank you, Jim France. Thank you, Mike Kelton.
• 6:54
  I hope you all enjoyed behind the scenes what NASCAR is trying
• 6:58
  to do to include all the drivers from the past.
