Should NASCAR Just Go All-In & Do Full Season Points Now? | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

  Happy Saturday morning, everybody.
• 0:04
  We're headed north. We're headed to Miami Beach, FL
• 0:07
  We're coming on. The sun is on the other side of
• 0:11
  the ship. That means we're headed home.
• 0:15
  Yeah, a little overcast. And let's see if we can get you
• 0:19
  a picture of the ship here. There we go All right everybody,
• 0:28
  let's head on in the room. A little windy out there.
• 0:31
  It's windy. Wow.
• 0:33
  Let's shut this door. Look at them hairs, huh?
• 0:36
  What in babies look good. Hey, by the way, I got to tell
• 0:39
  y'all something last night. Kim and I were talking and I
• 0:46
  said, honey, I said, do you think I should just shave my
• 0:52
  head once and just let's see what happens.
• 0:55
  She went like this. Kim said, absolutely not, you
• 0:59
  will not shave your head. I said, OK, that's all there is
• 1:05
  to it. That's all there is to that
• 1:07
  story. There's there's nothing else to
• 1:09
  it. So I tried everybody when my
• 1:12
  when my hairs are done nice, they look good.
• 1:16
  So, you know, I, I leave them messed up like this on purpose
• 1:21
  to get a reaction because I seek attention and Don Pradom said.
• 1:29
  Herman, I love it when you get on that damn coffee with Kenny
• 1:35
  and your glasses all like that, your hair up and then got that
• 1:40
  coffee, got tired. It's just guys, it's part of the
• 1:46
  gig. I can make my hair look good in
• 1:49
  the mornings if I want, but people don't roll out of bed
• 1:52
  with their hairs looking good. My hairs will look good later
• 1:55
  today. All right, now that we got that
• 1:58
  out of the way, OK, we have a nice conversation today.
• 2:07
  Let's start like this. Last night, Lucas Oil, the Dirt
• 2:14
  Late model series. And you know my buddy Michael
• 2:19
  Rigsby owns runs that deal over there for the TV and they
• 2:27
  decided last night, let me back up a little bit, flow the TV,
• 2:34
  flow the app. They bought Lucas Oil Dirt Late
• 2:38
  Model series. They bought it.
• 2:40
  So now they own it and that's been going on for about 3-4
• 2:42
  days. So it is new.
• 2:44
  Last night in downtown Indianapolis, IN, they announced
• 2:49
  that the dirt, the dirt Lucas Hole late model series is going
• 2:54
  back to the normal point system. Now, Mark Martin has already
• 3:02
  been on social media on X and he said hell yeah.
• 3:07
  So one thing I want to say is that in all these years, you
• 3:11
  know, you look at everything, it's always been monkey see,
• 3:15
  monkey do business. NASCAR comes up with these ideas
• 3:18
  and then a lot of the short tracks copy what NASCAR does.
• 3:24
  I will say this is the first time I've seen it be opposite.
• 3:27
  This is the first time where I've seen a short track series
• 3:31
  say, no, we're making the move before NASCAR does.
• 3:35
  We're gonna we're going back to normal format next year.
• 3:40
  So a shout out to the Lucas Oil Dirt Light Mile Series doing
• 3:45
  something on their own instead of following what NASCAR does.
• 3:49
  And that leads me to this. That's how far NASCAR has
• 3:56
  fallen. That's how wounded NASCAR is.
• 4:02
  The short tracks, they're like, man, NASCAR's in trouble.
• 4:05
  We're going to, we're kind of do our own deal now.
• 4:09
  So that leads me to this. During the NASCAR trial, I
• 4:17
  noticed a psychological shift and the fans were very excited
• 4:23
  that NASCAR was being sued. It was bringing the fans a lot
• 4:28
  of happiness there. There was for the most part.
• 4:32
  Now, listen, I said for the most part, a larger group of people
• 4:35
  that like NASCAR losing that trial, they're like, yeah, yeah,
• 4:39
  NASCAR's losing the trial. Them, they're getting what they
• 4:43
  deserve because they won't move the number to the middle of the
• 4:48
  car and they won't go back to normal points.
• 4:54
  NASCAR cannot go back to normal points quick enough.
• 4:59
  So here's where I'm going with this.
• 5:02
  Fans move fast. And I said that to Jeff Cluck on
• 5:06
  social media yesterday. Jeff Cluck was like well the the
• 5:12
  suit is over, what do y'all think?
• 5:15
  And I said fans move fast. They are already back to moving
• 5:20
  the number to the middle and full season points and everybody
• 5:24
  agreed with me. So with that being said, when
• 5:31
  NASCAR lost the low, the lawsuit, when NASCAR lost the
• 5:36
  lawsuit, within one hour, I seen my timeline filling up.
• 5:41
  That's not it. That's not all.
• 5:44
  What about the car? What about the points?
• 5:47
  What about the number on the car?
• 5:50
  So respond right here, everybody, respond right here.
• 5:56
  We know that they're changing the points and we all know that.
• 6:01
  I said on coffee with Kennedy that we gotta get past the
• 6:05
  lawsuit first. Now listen, we all also said
• 6:10
  that most likely this lawsuit was going to be settled and it
• 6:15
  and it was and I've seen other people say this lawsuit's going
• 6:18
  to be settled before it goes to a jury or you know, the the the
• 6:22
  judge, Judge Bell, and it was So everybody deserves an attaboy.
• 6:27
  Everybody was pretty much right. But here's the problem right
• 6:30
  now. It is what are we December teen,
• 6:36
  something like that. We're right there a couple weeks
• 6:40
  is Christmas. Does NASCAR, when does NASCAR
• 6:47
  announced this points change? I really think they should
• 6:51
  announce it on on Monday or next week.
• 6:55
  I think, you know, today is Saturday.
• 6:59
  I think they announced it next week sometime.
• 7:03
  I don't know about Monday because Monday everybody's
• 7:05
  finally, you know, getting going maybe on a Tuesday or Wednesday
• 7:08
  or something like that. But NASCAR, you know what?
• 7:12
  And the more I've thought about it, the hell with it.
• 7:14
  Just go all 36 races. Give Mark Martin what he's been
• 7:17
  asking for. Mark's been right so far as far
• 7:22
  as the numbers being moved to the middle.
• 7:25
  I don't know, guys, I can't, you know, I just I kind of like the
• 7:29
  look of the car right now. I'm respond right here.
• 7:31
  Are are those numbers irritating out of you or has my good buddy
• 7:36
  Mark Martin made you not like it?
• 7:39
  Do the numbers really bother you or does as Mark just made you
• 7:43
  look at that? I always kind of liked it.
• 7:49
  So I would say NASCAR is on a roll here now.
• 7:54
  Yeah, I said that even though they lost, even though NASCAR
• 7:58
  lost, now they got now they got this opportunity to come
• 8:02
  together and do all the right things.
• 8:05
  So let's announce full season points.
• 8:07
  Let's go all in. Let's let's address the the the
• 8:12
  number on the car. But I don't know 'cause that
• 8:15
  gives people a lot of space to put that name, that sponsorship.
• 8:18
  I don't know if that's on their radar right now, but boy, it
• 8:21
  sure has made a lot, a lot of noise.
• 8:24
  All right, everybody, I can see it now, the headlines.
• 8:29
  Fans move fast. Have a great Saturday.
