Am I a NASCAR Shill? | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:04
  Happy Tuesday morning, everybody.
• 0:08
  I was going to go outside, but it's foggy.
• 0:12
  Looks really rough outside today.
• 0:16
  All right, as promised, today on Coffee with Kenny, we are going
• 0:24
  to talk about me, Kenny Wallace. Why does Kenny Wallace talk so
• 0:32
  good about NASCAR? Why does he like everything
• 0:36
  NASCAR does? So let's talk about all of you
• 0:43
  for a little bit and then we'll get to me Coffee with Kenny.
• 0:50
  Kenny Conversation, The Kenny Wallace Show, Herman Schrader,
• 0:56
  all these shows, they only happen if you are involved.
• 1:03
  So we do the shows, you comment, I read the comments and then I
• 1:09
  respond. So we don't have a show without
• 1:15
  you. So you have to be involved, you
• 1:18
  have to comment, and we're having a good time.
• 1:22
  We are having a good time. I absolutely love doing this and
• 1:27
  I love all of you. However, everything is not a bed
• 1:35
  of roses. There's times that you are not
• 1:39
  going to like what I say, but I don't think it's fair that if I
• 1:47
  say something you don't like, I don't think it's right that you
• 1:51
  attack me. So in other words, I never
• 1:55
  attack you. Today's subject is why does
• 2:01
  Kenny Wallace talk so good about NASCAR?
• 2:04
  Why does Kenny Wallace defend NASCAR and specifically you all
• 2:10
  still cannot get over me liking NASCAR and the races.
• 2:17
  Now for the most part I would say it is a fact that's over 75%
• 2:28
  of the people love NASCAR. Now this is a fact and in this
• 2:33
  poll was taken by me a couple times and then I look at what
• 2:38
  Jeff clucks up to. So let let's talk about me
• 2:47
  liking NASCAR too much specific. Oh damn it, there we go again.
• 2:54
  Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I worked my butt off getting
• 3:00
  that Sunoco dirt car ready to go this week and now it's showing
• 3:04
  rain. Well, we might just have to
• 3:06
  travel a little bit. We might have to go 2 hours and
• 3:09
  20 minutes up the road to Quincy.
• 3:11
  We might have to go to Lincoln, IL 2 hours and 20 minutes too.
• 3:16
  So we might go to Quincy on Friday, or we might go to
• 3:19
  Lincoln. We do have choices.
• 3:22
  Only 2 1/2 hours away. OK, so some of you, less than
• 3:31
  20% of you almost hate me. The talking you do to me.
• 3:39
  I don't like Wallace. He's a NASCAR shill.
• 3:46
  NASCAR must be paying him specifically.
• 3:51
  I said Talladega was a good race, minimal Rex, literally a
• 4:00
  photo finish. But when I said that was a good
• 4:06
  race, minimal Rex, there was a handful of people that fired
• 4:10
  back at me. Horrible, I mean horrible
• 4:14
  mouths. Just like I said yesterday,
• 4:18
  ripped me a new she caught me off guard.
• 4:23
  I guess I never thought in a million years that NASCAR fans
• 4:30
  would get mad at me for like a NASCAR.
• 4:35
  So let's answer the question right away.
• 4:37
  Is NASCAR paying me #1 not a dime.
• 4:44
  They're not paying me anything. Actually, it's opposite.
• 4:49
  I'm making money off of NASCAR. See here.
• 4:53
  Here's what I want you all to know about me.
• 4:57
  I am a positive mental attitude person.
• 5:01
  Now people get mad at me for that too.
• 5:04
  That damn Wallace, everything's everything is rose colored
• 5:09
  glasses to him. He loves everybody.
• 5:11
  He likes everything. No, that's not true.
• 5:15
  I, I'm pretty sure you all know that you don't want with me
• 5:20
  because I can be a prick like a real one.
• 5:23
  Like I think you all know that I can be a major Class A prick
• 5:27
  Dick head. But I don't like you all to see
• 5:31
  that side of me because I go postal.
• 5:34
  That means I'm super nice and then I go nuts and I don't want
• 5:38
  you all to see that side of me. So I, I am PMA, I am a positive
• 5:44
  mental attitude person. I'm not going to judge something
• 5:50
  every single week. Now, I think Jeff Gluck is a
• 5:54
  wonderful person, But this phenomenon of where we judge a
• 5:59
  race every week, I think it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen
• 6:02
  in my life. That's like me judging every
• 6:05
  Saint Louis Cardinal baseball game.
• 6:07
  All the Cardinals won six to one.
• 6:10
  That was dumb. Baseball sucks.
• 6:13
  The margin was too big. The game was boring.
• 6:17
  That's like me saying the Talladega race weekend was
• 6:21
  horrible. It was stupid because there
• 6:23
  wasn't enough for X. It was a OK, it was a photo
• 6:26
  finish, but nobody came from the back and to the front.
• 6:30
  Now if you want to talk about the next Gen. car and what needs
• 6:34
  to be done to maybe make some of the races better, hell I'll go
• 6:38
  with you. I'll say OK, after all these
• 6:42
  years, I do like horsepower. Let's put a little more
• 6:45
  horsepower in it. Does NASCAR need to play with
• 6:48
  the tires a little more? Yeah, I'd love NASCAR to play
• 6:51
  with the tires a little bit more.
• 6:53
  We can go on and on about the Next Gen. car.
• 6:56
  However, you're not going to get me safe.
• 7:01
  NASCAR's a junkie sport, and here's why.
• 7:05
  I I think I'm pretty damn smart, OK?
• 7:11
  I got a lot of money. It takes brains to have a lot of
• 7:14
  money. I'm a great investor.
• 7:17
  I'm married, I got 3 kids, I pay my taxes.
• 7:22
  I take the trash out. I'm clean.
• 7:25
  That's right. So I know I'm smart.
• 7:29
  So when I break down a NASCAR race, I don't look at it for
• 7:32
  entertainment value. Let's take Denny Hamlin
• 7:36
  yesterday on Axel's detrimental. Denny Hamlin had Kyle Busch on
• 7:42
  there and Denny Hamlin said Kyle, it's not our fault that we
• 7:48
  do not execute as good as Kyle Larson.
• 7:52
  Now I'm going to repeat that Denny Hamlin, Denny Hamlin told
• 7:58
  Kyle Busch because Kyle Busch was on action detrimental and he
• 8:03
  said Kyle, it's not, it's not Kyle Larson's fault.
• 8:10
  Kyle Larson is executing and winning.
• 8:15
  And like Kenny Schrader says, didn't Christopher Bell win
• 8:19
  three in a row? Didn't William Byron win two in
• 8:22
  a row? So when you have somebody
• 8:25
  dominating, I'm smart enough to know that some bitches good.
• 8:30
  And most likely when Kyle Larson wins, he's going to take
• 8:34
  victories away from other people and that's going to piss you
• 8:37
  off. I know that when most of you get
• 8:41
  upset, see, I'm not picking on you.
• 8:44
  I know that when some of you get upset, it's because your driver
• 8:47
  didn't win. So you hate NASCAR.
• 8:54
  I don't. I don't.
• 8:56
  I don't bite everybody. I don't bite for that.
• 9:00
  It's silly talk. Now explain to you why I am the
• 9:05
  way I am. I explained to you why I am the
• 9:09
  way I am. I was born happy.
• 9:12
  I can't help it. I came out of my Mama like that.
• 9:16
  I'm happy. I've always been happy.
• 9:19
  Help people get mad at me because I'm happy.
• 9:22
  Wallace. In that laugh, you know, Wallace
• 9:26
  gets on coffee with Kenny. Hey, you're you know, I love it.
• 9:32
  Listen, the biggest form of flat flattery, you know when you when
• 9:39
  you have fun, is when you imitate me.
• 9:41
  I love it. We're having a good time here.
• 9:46
  So is Kenny Wallace being paid by NASCAR?
• 9:50
  Not a dime. Actually.
• 9:52
  We almost pay them right every year.
• 9:55
  I used to give them a check for $10,000 to pay for my hard card.
• 10:01
  So it's the opposite of what you would think.
• 10:04
  I pay NASCAR 10,000 every year and they would give me a hard
• 10:09
  card that means a pit pass. Then in return they let me race.
• 10:17
  They got this platform. All of us are making money off
• 10:21
  NASCAR. I talk about NASCAR.
• 10:25
  Oh my God, if I would ever talk about politics, I'd get my ass
• 10:29
  chewed out. If I said something about
• 10:31
  politics, you guys would go bat crazy.
• 10:35
  So my niche, my niche is what I've done my whole life.
• 10:41
  And I always remind you guys, that's all I've done.
• 10:44
  I've raced. I've raced more NASCAR races
• 10:47
  than most people ever stop and think about it.
• 10:52
  I've done TV for 15 years. I'm friends with Ben Kennedy,
• 10:58
  Mike Hilton, Steve Phelps, Steve O'Donnell.
• 11:02
  I talked to these guys. I know what's up.
• 11:06
  I know what's up and and let me leave you with this, everybody.
• 11:12
  Now I need you to respond, OK? But let me leave you with this.
• 11:16
  And I said it yesterday. French vanilla, vanilla Creamer.
• 11:32
  OK, Is NASCAR bad now? This is the way a smart person
• 11:39
  like me. This is the way a smart person
• 11:43
  like me thinks. Is NASCAR doing bad?
• 11:48
  What do you mean? Is NASCAR doing bad?
• 11:50
  In in what manner? See, it's, it's, it's not as
• 11:53
  simple as you think. Is NASCAR doing bad Now?
• 11:58
  I'm simply going to say this. The TV ratings are up and I've
• 12:03
  said it every week. The grandstands are filling back
• 12:07
  up. So Dale Junior and Steve
• 12:11
  Letarte, they're getting ready to come on.
• 12:12
  What is it? Prime, Prime TV?
• 12:15
  They just announced they sold all their sponsorship out.
• 12:21
  So if I'm to believe 20% of you that NASCAR is bad, that the
• 12:26
  races are no good because of the Next Gen. car, I don't believe
• 12:32
  you because I don't have lying eyes and lying ears.
• 12:39
  I just told you why NASCAR's doing good.
• 12:41
  Now, do you want to talk about the Next Gen. car?
• 12:44
  We can talk about the Next Gen. car, but you're not going to
• 12:48
  convince me that NASCAR's doing bad when the TV ratings are up,
• 12:53
  when the grandstands are doing good, when TV's paying billions
• 12:58
  of dollars and they're selling out sponsorship.
• 13:03
  No matter what you say, NASCAR is the biggest bang for the
• 13:09
  buck. And here's another thing.
• 13:12
  I'm a huge dirt racing fan. We just had a great race at
• 13:16
  Fairbury where Jonathan Davenport and Brandon Shepherd
• 13:20
  went at it. But you got to understand
• 13:23
  something. That's 100 lap dirt race on 1/4
• 13:26
  mile dirt track. That damn race is over in 20
• 13:29
  minutes. Thirty minutes, certainly dirt
• 13:32
  race is going to be exciting. Most of the races are 20 to 100
• 13:37
  laps. They go by like quick.
• 13:41
  They're going to be exciting because of the format.
• 13:45
  Now, NASCAR, if we were to shorten those races, you know
• 13:49
  what everybody would say? I hate NASCAR because you're
• 13:53
  taking my beer drinking time away from me.
• 13:58
  Do you understand? So part of my job here is to try
• 14:02
  to break down what you're trying to say to me.
• 14:05
  You're trying to convince me that NASCAR is bad when it's
• 14:09
  not. Now, once again, I'm going to
• 14:11
  say it again. It's my third time.
• 14:14
  You want to talk about the Next Gen. car, we can talk about it.
• 14:17
  But as far as the totality of the race, you're not going to
• 14:20
  get me to say, hey, Talladega was a show.
• 14:24
  Nobody pulled out the pass. Well, no, Sherlock, they didn't
• 14:29
  pull out the pass. Same reason I didn't pull out
• 14:31
  the pass Earnhardt in 2000, because I knew that if I pulled
• 14:36
  out, they weren't going to go with me and I was going to go
• 14:39
  back the 30th. And as far as my my dear friend
• 14:43
  Dale Junior going, you can't pull out the pass because the
• 14:47
  car is 20 miles an hour slower by itself.
• 14:52
  When was the last time somebody could pull out by their pass and
• 14:55
  pass? Somebody was cheating?
• 15:01
  Nobody. Now this is most important, what
• 15:03
  you can listen to right now. Nobody is going to pull out and
• 15:07
  pass by themselves like we used to because they were cheating.
• 15:13
  And if you listen close to all the shows, they'll tell you how
• 15:15
  they were cheating because it's funny now, 20 years ago when we
• 15:20
  would pull out and pass by ourself, we'd pull out all by
• 15:24
  ourself and pass three cars, we were cheating.
• 15:28
  Let me tell you how we did it. So there's no cheating nowadays,
• 15:33
  OK? There's just no cheating now.
• 15:37
  It's and now it is true because those people told you, those
• 15:40
  people that dominated years ago, now they're telling you that
• 15:44
  they cheated and they're telling you what they did.
• 15:46
  For example, Sterling Marlin when he was sucking air through
• 15:51
  the valve cover studs. Hell, Dale Junior, this they
• 15:54
  telling you all this that Tony, Uri and them did.
• 15:58
  So as far as guys pulling out and pass all by themselves
• 16:01
  nowadays, that's because they were cheating and NASCAR tighten
• 16:06
  their up. Now tech is very tight.
• 16:12
  So to end, I'm paying NASCAR, they're not paying me.
• 16:20
  All right, respond right here. I break things down.
• 16:25
  You want to talk about the car? We can talk about the car, but
• 16:29
  the totality of NASCAR is doing really good and that's what the
• 16:32
  analytics say and that's why TD is selling out all their
• 16:37
  sponsors. Everybody wants to be part of
• 16:39
  NASCAR. I'm not going to argue with 20%
• 16:44
  of you that are mad because your driver didn't win.
• 16:48
  Now, I love you, I love you and I appreciate you getting on me.
• 16:54
  I like it that you got on me. And you said Herman's being paid
• 16:57
  by NASCAR. He's a NASCAR show.
• 17:01
  I like that because it gives me a show.
• 17:05
  Respond right here. This is one of my longest coffee
• 17:09
  with Kenny's ever because I wanted to dress this subject.
• 17:13
  Have a great Tuesday, everybody.
