  Hello everyone and welcome back to the Kenny Wallace Show
• 0:04
  brought to you by Jags, the leader in high performance
• 0:08
  aftermarket car parts. Remember to go to jags.com for
• 0:12
  everything to fix your vehicle up and especially Jeep parts and
• 0:16
  truck parts. Holy moly, deep breath Edith.
• 0:22
  I'm having a heart attack. Quite possibly one of the
• 0:26
  craziest NASCAR Cup races of the 2024 year.
• 0:32
  All right, listen, right away. Austin Stendrick wins this race
• 0:38
  on the last corner going into Turn 3, coming off at Turn 4.
• 0:43
  That's his teammate Ryan Blaney. They think he ran out of gas.
• 0:48
  They think he ran out of gas. But listen, we have so much to
• 0:52
  break down, it's unbelievable. I already told you to finish.
• 0:56
  Austin Syndrick wins the race as his teammate, Ryan Blaney.
• 1:02
  He's going to win it. He's coming to the checkered
• 1:05
  flag. Calm down, Kenny.
• 1:07
  My gosh. Listen, the race track's about
• 1:10
  20 miles that way from this house right now.
• 1:13
  I rushed back here. We got it going on here on the
• 1:17
  Kenny Wallace Show. All right, let's break it down.
• 1:21
  Let's get to it. When I say this race had it all,
• 1:25
  I mean, unbelievable, right? So we dropped the green flag and
• 1:30
  it's like wow, Michael McDowell on pole.
• 1:32
  Well, he's going to drop back real quick.
• 1:34
  Nope. He leads the 1st 40 damn laps of
• 1:37
  this deal. They go around in circles and
• 1:39
  then all of a sudden they're coming to the end of the second
• 1:43
  stage and we see this great battle happening for like 8 spot
• 1:47
  or but maybe could have been fourth.
• 1:49
  Maybe I'm a little wrong there. Respond right here, help me out.
• 1:53
  But all of a sudden, Kyle Larson is on the inside of Kyle Busch.
• 1:59
  The two Kyle's, they're going at it.
• 2:01
  Crowd sees it. Christopher Bell dominates this
• 2:05
  race. Bell is gone, right?
• 2:07
  More about him later. Hold on, going to tell you about
• 2:10
  Bell in a little bit. Christopher Bell is checked out.
• 2:14
  The crowd's like, oh, there's belt.
• 2:15
  We'll look at this battle crowds on their feet because we see the
• 2:19
  two Kyle's going at it. So Kyle Bush on the outside and
• 2:25
  that was the preferred lane all day long.
• 2:28
  I mean, this lane is big and wide.
• 2:30
  It's way out there. It looks like you're at a dirt
• 2:32
  track. They're like, whoa, they get any
• 2:34
  higher, they're going to be in the marbles.
• 2:36
  They're going to be in Never Neverland.
• 2:37
  They kept pushing the screw higher and higher.
• 2:41
  How how Bush is out there and he's driving.
• 2:44
  He's driving Kyle Larson nuts. Now, here's the deal.
• 2:49
  Kyle Busch had two tires on, right?
• 2:52
  Kyle Busch has two tires on. Well, here comes Larson with
• 2:57
  four tires. And think about it now.
• 3:00
  Kyle Busch has not won a race. He's on a winless streak, and
• 3:03
  this doesn't happen very much. He's going on every single year
• 3:07
  of his career in the Cup Series, winning the race.
• 3:10
  So here's Kyle Busch. Later on, he said, I'm fighting
• 3:14
  for stage points. And then it's like the replay as
• 3:18
  they go, oh, let's look at this replay.
• 3:20
  They come off at turn 4. I'm wiping my eyebrows because
• 3:23
  I'm I'm getting ready to tell you.
• 3:26
  This one here is hard for me to say.
• 3:28
  So Kyle Busch is like, I'm going to I'm going to hold him back.
• 3:31
  I only got to hold him off four more laps to the, you know, get
• 3:34
  those stage points. All of a sudden Kyle Busch is
• 3:38
  like, Nope, Bam. And all of a sudden they're like
• 3:41
  they're banging. They're banging going down the
• 3:43
  straightaway. They get into the corner and you
• 3:46
  know, Kyle Busch kind of squeezes Kyle Larson.
• 3:50
  Now Larson loses it right, bats into Kyle Busch.
• 3:55
  Kyle Busch is in the wall now, knocks him out of the race,
• 3:59
  destroys his steering. And Kyle Larson goes on to have
• 4:03
  a good run. But listen, this is the
• 4:05
  controversy at hand in this race until, until hang on with me
• 4:12
  now, this race gets Wilder and Wilder as we go.
• 4:16
  So, OK, there's that. We all saw the sound bites.
• 4:22
  And Kyle Bush calls himself out. You know, Regan Smith goes
• 4:28
  interview him and goes, Kyle Bush, how did you see it?
• 4:32
  And he goes, Yep, Yep. I was trying to hold him off,
• 4:34
  trying to gain some stage points.
• 4:36
  Hate it for my team. It's like you never hear an
• 4:40
  interview from Kyle Bush like that.
• 4:42
  Pretty much. I messed up and that's it.
• 4:46
  Kyle Busch is out of the race with broken front and steering.
• 4:50
  First DNF of the year for Kyle Busch.
• 4:53
  And like I said, Kyle Larson goes on.
• 4:55
  And by the way, Kyle Larson just a couple days goes, goes to
• 5:00
  Lawrenceburg and wins a high limit wing Sprint race.
• 5:03
  So he goes from Indy to the rain out at Charlotte to a high
• 5:09
  limit. Hey, Kyle Larson, when he needs
• 5:11
  good medicine, he just goes run dirt and and that was a big win
• 5:15
  up there. So Kyle Larson coming off the
• 5:17
  big win and definitely didn't think he was going to get in
• 5:20
  this scrap. But you know, Kyle Busch says,
• 5:24
  hey, I need these points. I haven't won an ear.
• 5:27
  Bam, bam. It's like, whoa, did I just see
• 5:30
  what I did? I see what I think I saw TV
• 5:34
  plays it over and over. Kyle Busch just says, Yep, I
• 5:37
  needed those points. All right, that converse is
• 5:40
  over. I told you what happened.
• 5:42
  That's one of those deals where, hey, what's your opinion,
• 5:45
  Herman? It's hard to give an opinion
• 5:47
  when it's right there. It's right there.
• 5:50
  Kyle Busch don't want Kyle to pass him.
• 5:52
  That's that's the end I got. I got no more for you.
• 5:54
  All right, so we're going to keep an eye on on Kyle Busch the
• 5:59
  rest of this year. He's winless.
• 6:01
  All right, let's move forward. This is Christopher Bell's race
• 6:08
  to lose. He's completely dominant.
• 6:12
  It's one of those deals where, you know, when your teacher says
• 6:15
  you're ruining for all of us, it was like that Bell's gone and
• 6:19
  everybody else is fighting like hell it there.
• 6:21
  I mean, these these restarts were the greatest restarts.
• 6:25
  And I mean, this respond right here if I'm wrong.
• 6:29
  We got social media going crazy. Four wide, three wide on these
• 6:34
  restarts. Then they get settled out.
• 6:37
  And if it's not for Christopher Bell checking out on the whole
• 6:40
  field, it's like, wow, the rest of the race is really good.
• 6:44
  The battles are crazy. And by the way, yeah,
• 6:47
  Christopher Bell's still gone. And that's that.
• 6:50
  All right, guess who? Guess who ruins the party with
• 6:53
  great pit strategy? Just like the Indianapolis 500
• 6:58
  Penske Racing. Penske takes the chance, pits
• 7:01
  all their cars early, and while everybody else is out there
• 7:05
  struggling, right, This race goes green.
• 7:09
  We do not see this very much. And all of a sudden this race
• 7:13
  goes green. Penske's making fast laps,
• 7:16
  Christopher Bell's making slow laps, and all of a sudden
• 7:20
  Penske's looking good. But when Christopher Pitts here
• 7:25
  he comes, he's mowing down Ryan Blaney.
• 7:27
  He's going to win the race. Now hang on with me.
• 7:30
  This is where it gets good. We 8 minutes in I'm going fast.
• 7:34
  All right, so here comes here comes you know Christopher Bell
• 7:40
  Seabugg going to win the race he's on the inside he's going to
• 7:42
  take the lead. Oh no Oh no, he he breaks the
• 7:46
  motor. Something happens now he doesn't
• 7:48
  fall out. He finishes the race, he
• 7:50
  finishes 7th, but he's like it's an 8 cylinder motor.
• 7:54
  He's down one cylinder. Got a little crazy at the end.
• 7:58
  His teammate Martin Trooks tried pushing down the straightaway to
• 8:01
  help him out. All right, so Christopher Bell's
• 8:05
  going to win the race. He's not going to win it.
• 8:07
  Oh, look at you, Ryan Blaney going to win the race.
• 8:10
  Ryan Blaney going to win the race.
• 8:12
  Ryan Blaney white flag in the air.
• 8:13
  Ryan Blaney needs this win looking good.
• 8:16
  Ryan Blaney goes into Oh no, Oh no.
• 8:19
  Ryan Blaney, here comes Austin Syndrich for the win.
• 8:27
  I'm out of breath. Wow.
• 8:30
  I haven't seen a race like this in a long time.
• 8:33
  So you look at it, you got you got, you know, guys that you
• 8:37
  think are going to win it. And I mean in succession, you
• 8:40
  got the wreck between the two Kyles.
• 8:42
  You got seat bells going to win and he breaks the motor.
• 8:45
  You got Ryan Blaney. He's going to win it.
• 8:47
  He runs out of gas or something happens.
• 8:49
  They, they think he run out of gas and the other Penske cars
• 8:53
  did not. And they all pinned at the same
• 8:54
  time. Now, they did say on TV that
• 8:58
  Blaney's pit stop was too good. Blaney's pit stop was too good,
• 9:04
  is what they said on TV. He was way out in front of
• 9:07
  everybody. I was like, damn, how do you get
• 9:09
  that out of a pit stop? Well, we don't know.
• 9:13
  They're probably, I don't know if they're going to tell us or
• 9:14
  not, but he ran out of gas. And so listen, Austin, Cindric
• 9:21
  qualifies second, right? Mcdowell's on the pole for this
• 9:25
  race, Cindric second. What's Penske doing with
• 9:30
  Cindric? He cannot drive.
• 9:33
  Listen, I'm going to be bullshit.
• 9:35
  This right now. This is what this new next Gen.
• 9:38
  car is all about right now. Where's Joey Logano?
• 9:42
  Joey Logano? Where's Joey Logano?
• 9:45
  That's the way this these cars are.
• 9:47
  The adjustments are so minimal right now on these cars that
• 9:51
  just when you think Austin Cindric cannot drive.
• 9:55
  Oh, his dad runs the team, you know.
• 9:58
  Tim Cindric. Yeah, that Tim Cindric, Right.
• 10:02
  So he wins it. Now, now, now.
• 10:06
  Rodger Penske looks good. He he he signed up, I believe
• 10:10
  Cindric, Austin Cindric. I believe he's looking good.
• 10:13
  If not, sign him up. He qualified second.
• 10:17
  He was going to finish third and then all of a sudden bell breaks
• 10:21
  and then all of a sudden, you know, hey, there's an old saying
• 10:25
  you got to be running second to win.
• 10:27
  Well, he was running third to win.
• 10:29
  If he's not running third, he don't win it.
• 10:30
  So Attaboy, that was a huge win for Austin Cedric because now
• 10:36
  he's a winner. He's won the Daytona 500.
• 10:40
  Now, listen, he's a winner, multiple time winner in the Cup
• 10:44
  Series. So no matter what you say, look,
• 10:47
  la, la, la, la, I don't want to hear it.
• 10:49
  He's a winner. And these races are so hard to
• 10:53
  win that it's unbelievable. And I can tell you, everybody is
• 10:57
  out of breath right now. All right, listen, 11 minutes
• 11:00
  in, I got to give a shout out. I got to give a shout out not
• 11:05
  'cause it's my hometown, that's my disclaimer, but Chris Blair
• 11:09
  and his bunch over there at the Worldwide Technology Raceway,
• 11:14
  they are the new template for all NASCAR tracks.
• 11:18
  They are the new template. This music festival slash race
• 11:23
  was one for the ages. Listen to this.
• 11:26
  They got Riley Green going on right now.
• 11:28
  They've had T pain up earlier. Ludacris was yesterday, big and
• 11:34
  rich. Tim Duggar, Adam Wainwright,
• 11:36
  Yep, that Adam Wainwright, two time World Series championship
• 11:41
  pitcher and he's good. Adam's good, Gretchen Wilson,
• 11:46
  they had them all. And this falls right underneath
• 11:49
  what Dale junior has been saying about that All Star race.
• 11:53
  He says bring in some locals, you know, bring in some cover
• 11:57
  bands and then bring in some superstars.
• 12:00
  And and if you remember on XI told Dale junior, I said junior,
• 12:03
  I believe worldwide technology and Chris Blair got exactly
• 12:07
  right now what you're talking about.
• 12:08
  So listen, this is the third year at Saint Louis and it
• 12:12
  looked good. That front straightaway was
• 12:15
  packed. Not a sell out, but I'm going to
• 12:18
  tell you what, it looked good. Traffic was in and out, crowd on
• 12:22
  feet. They're going to remember this
• 12:24
  one for a long time. Everybody, Saint Louis did it
• 12:27
  right. Let me check my notes.
• 12:30
  Check my notes. Christopher Bell proves that he
• 12:36
  was no fluke when he won that rain delay race at Charlotte and
• 12:41
  he was doubling the car to win and he lost that cylinder.
• 12:46
  Shout out to everybody. They brought it home at my home
• 12:49
  track. And I don't have to fake this.
• 12:52
  Respond right here like subscribe worldwide technology.
• 12:57
  This was one for the ages and I've seen it all.
• 13:01
  Now. NASCAR Atlanta, three wide,
• 13:05
  closest finish in history now at at Kansas.
• 13:09
  And then Reddick smashed in the buscher at Darlington and
• 13:15
  Kozlowski wins and now this race.
• 13:19
  Unbelievable. And we're getting almost halfway
• 13:22
  through the year. Next week is the last week for
• 13:25
  NASCAR and Fox. They're going to go out and
• 13:28
  style out there at Sonoma. But listen, like subscribe, tell
• 13:32
  me what you think of that race, man.
• 13:35
  Tell me what you think about those two.
• 13:36
  Kyle's going at it. Is Kyle Busch getting
• 13:40
  frustrated? Respond right here.
• 13:42
  Is Kyle Busch getting frustrated?
• 13:44
  He's a winner. He's one every year of his Cup
• 13:48
  existence. He's still got a half a year to
• 13:50
  do it, but he's feeling it right now.
• 13:53
  And and in his interview, he said I was going for a stage
• 13:56
  point. So he's going for stage points.
• 13:58
  By the way, his teammate, the three, Austin Dillon showed up
• 14:01
  good, good run right up there in the top six.
• 14:05
  I think he finished six. All right, We had 15 minutes and
• 14:09
  myself, Charlie Marlow, we rushed back from the racetrack,
• 14:13
  able to get it on the computer. So you get good sound.
• 14:16
  The phone took a break, Charlie. I'm glad you're back, buddy.
• 14:19
  We got everybody good sound. We don't got the big echo, Woo,
• 14:25
  I'm exhausted. All right, everybody, we got
• 14:29
  Kelly Earnhardt coming up. We got Doug Bland coming up on
• 14:33
  Kenny conversation. He's going to tell you how to
• 14:35
  get sponsors. Herminator is going to go to
• 14:38
  Cabo and I might do a show from Cabo.
• 14:40
  I need a vacation. All right, everybody, until next
• 14:44
  time. Kenny Wallace Show and
• 14:46
  everything on the Kenny Wallace platform.
• 14:48
  We just keep on rolling.
