  OK, I checked and it really is Thursday this time.
• 0:07
  Hell man, I was off. I'm retired and every day
• 0:12
  Saturday went on that cruise, lost count of the days.
• 0:17
  But I was just watching TV and they say it's they say it's
• 0:20
  Thursday today and I think it's December 18th.
• 0:25
  Is that right? Respond right here.
• 0:27
  Help me out. All right, everybody.
• 0:33
  Man, there's a lot of little news going on out there that I'm
• 0:36
  reading about. Let's give it up for the girls,
• 0:41
  I think. I think we finally found some
• 0:44
  balance for the ladies. Looks like, looks like my little
• 0:51
  niece Chrissy Wallace is going to run the IHRA.
• 0:59
  That new series that's coming out.
• 1:00
  Looks like she's going to run a little bit of that.
• 1:04
  She was up at the PRI show that stands for the Performance
• 1:08
  Racing Industry. That's, you know, where all the
• 1:11
  real race car parts are. And Chrissy, of course, that's
• 1:16
  my brother's, my brother Mike's daughter Chrissy.
• 1:19
  So she's going to run IHRA. Looks like a neat little what, 6
• 1:23
  race series, but I like that it's it's a kind of a throwback
• 1:30
  type race car. Got some extremely old type
• 1:34
  rules that everybody's going to like.
• 1:37
  Shocks are cheap, keep the car up off the ground.
• 1:42
  So congratulations, looks like Chrissy's going to do something
• 1:45
  there. I really like that the ladies
• 1:51
  have found somewhere instead of trying to go Xfinity or Cup,
• 1:56
  they're going to run ARCA. Looks like Jade Avedesian and
• 2:01
  Taylor Rhymer. Jade is going to run the full
• 2:06
  ARCA series. Taylor Rhymer and now she's
• 2:08
  going to run part time ARCA now. I like this.
• 2:12
  I like this better than what I've been seeing in the last
• 2:15
  say, 6-7 years. Now that I look back at it, I
• 2:19
  feel like maybe Hayley Deegan took too big of a bite out of
• 2:24
  the apple. In other words, just a little
• 2:28
  bit at a time, you know, started some of the real lower
• 2:31
  divisions. I think Arkham is a wonderful
• 2:35
  place to start. The cars are really safe now.
• 2:40
  Back in the day I was, I was afraid of the Arkham cars, man.
• 2:44
  They would wreck their ass off and none of them had any
• 2:48
  experience. And but now you just watched
• 2:51
  butter queen. What butter bean?
• 2:53
  Butter queen. Hey, you watch butter bean now
• 2:58
  he's going to go race for college.
• 3:02
  By the way, we have Chris Rice, the CEO of college racing,
• 3:07
  coming soon to Kenny conversation.
• 3:10
  And so butter bean is going to run with college.
• 3:14
  But but he was the champion in ARCA.
• 3:17
  But ARCA is a good place, solid place where you can get some,
• 3:24
  get some experience on some of the big NASCAR tracks.
• 3:28
  And I really like that. Jay Davidizi and I listen, I've
• 3:31
  watched her come up through open wheel midgets in EU sack.
• 3:35
  I watched her win championships. Same with Taylor Rhymer.
• 3:40
  Taylor Rhymer, she's a good driver.
• 3:45
  You know, I guess there was not enough money to run full time
• 3:48
  ARCA, but she's going to run part time ARCA.
• 3:52
  So give it up for the girls. I think, I think they can win a
• 3:55
  race or so right there in Arca and make us all happy.
• 4:01
  It seems like when the girls bite off too big of an apple and
• 4:04
  they go trucks or Xfinity your Cup, they just don't got a
• 4:09
  chance. But I think Jade, I think I
• 4:12
  think she can win a race. She's going to have big factory
• 4:15
  backing from Toyota, yes. And she is the real deal.
• 4:21
  Like I said, her and Taylor Rymer, they're both the real
• 4:24
  deal. So to put a button on that, I
• 4:29
  think the cop and competition is just right for them to get some
• 4:35
  experience in a big bodied car that that reminds me of that
• 4:41
  song with Nelly. It starts out rolling around in
• 4:47
  a big bite of bands with $2.00 worth of gas.
• 4:54
  Big bodied, big bodied cars. OK, I see some NASCAR stuff out
• 5:02
  there that I want to talk about. I looked on NASCAR's social
• 5:05
  media timeline and I've seen that they have posted two or
• 5:09
  three times. Like they're adamant that we all
• 5:11
  know why I went ahead and I pushed on it.
• 5:15
  You know, I'm on, I was on X. It's like there it is.
• 5:20
  The NASCAR channel, I guess January 29th, the NASCAR channel
• 5:27
  was launched of this year. What?
• 5:30
  What do I read it? Do I read it right?
• 5:31
  January 29th, 2025, the NASCAR channel was launched, but now
• 5:38
  they're making a big deal out of it.
• 5:39
  They're saying we can go there and it's going to be, it's on
• 5:42
  Amazon, Amazon Prime, Roku, all these streaming channels.
• 5:47
  Check it out. All you got to do is Google it
• 5:50
  or something like that. But NASCAR is really pushing
• 5:54
  that. And I thought, why are they
• 5:56
  pushing that so hard? So then as I dove into it, now I
• 6:03
  see classic races like Mark Martin said, go look at those
• 6:10
  YouTube races back from the day. Why do they get so many views?
• 6:13
  So now NASCAR's is pushing their their own channel, the NASCAR
• 6:20
  channel, because they got some content, they're building up.
• 6:24
  They got more content in their TV channel.
• 6:29
  So the NASCAR channel is going to be showing some classics is
• 6:34
  what it says. I thought that was good.
• 6:39
  I thought that was interesting. And it's strict.
• 6:42
  Listen, everybody's going streaming.
• 6:44
  So it's there. If if if you've ordered Amazon
• 6:47
  packages and you've got Prime and it they say it's free of
• 6:52
  ads, there's no commercials. But you know, as soon as it gets
• 6:58
  successful, they're going to start putting commercials in
• 7:00
  there. But it's all racing all the
• 7:02
  time. So listen, we got to forgive
• 7:07
  NASCAR. Look, we're moving forward.
• 7:09
  Like I told you, I love NASCAR. So check out that new NASCAR
• 7:13
  channel. I know I will because my wife,
• 7:16
  we we got, we got prime because we get it free because my wife
• 7:20
  owns Amazon, just like your wife does.
• 7:23
  If one more motherfucking Amazon pack.
• 7:26
  I said, Kim, what do you do? Just lay in bed and order she
• 7:32
  goes yes I do. I said I know you do.
• 7:37
  OK, so NASCAR is going to be announcing the new point system
• 7:44
  soon is what I'm hearing. I'm not positive, but if you
• 7:48
  made it 8 minutes, I think we're going to get a three race
• 7:53
  playoff as I asked for asked for.
• 7:56
  But I think the championships going to go a long time.
• 8:00
  We're going to get close to what Mark Martin wanted.
• 8:03
  And Mark Mark did say that, you know, he would go for something.
• 8:11
  Mark did say Mark the kid Martin out of Batesville, AR Mark, I
• 8:17
  just love saying that. Mark did say that he would go
• 8:20
  longer. He would go more.
• 8:22
  He, he didn't have that before 36, but he wanted legitimacy.
• 8:28
  So I think that what I'm hearing through the Grapevine, I think
• 8:32
  we're going to go most of the year, whatever we're going to
• 8:34
  do, but we're not going to be it's, it's going to be more
• 8:37
  legit, too legit to quit. So I think we're going to have a
• 8:42
  three race playoff. And when we get there, it's it's
• 8:45
  going to have some, some gangsters in it.
• 8:48
  We're going to have, we're going to have a pretty good decent
• 8:50
  cars and it's going to be 3 races, you know, three races
• 8:54
  almost a month of playoffs. So they going to make it better.
• 8:58
  Everybody all right, remember shop kennywallace.com is open.
• 9:04
  We got coffee mugs and we got awesome shirts, hats, decals and
• 9:10
  my family fills those orders. Personally have a great Thursday
• 9:17
  and I'm pretty sure it's December 18th.
