The Two "Bad" People in NASCAR From Atlanta | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:03
  Happy Monday morning, everybody. As old Larry Mack Reynolds say,
• 0:09
  we gonna head outside today because it's 60° in Saint Louis.
• 0:16
  Snow's melting, boy, it's nice. Got a little snow hiding in the
• 0:21
  corners there. Goodbye, snow.
• 0:23
  See you next week on Hee Haw. Oh, the gutter.
• 0:30
  The gutter is so excited. Look at her.
• 0:33
  Is she looking good? Gutter getting a little sad.
• 0:38
  Finally getting some attention. All right, Hermlader on Green
• 0:42
  Acres. Green Acres is the place to be
• 0:47
  far. I'm loving is alive for me.
• 0:51
  All right, everybody, we're going to name this 1-2 bad guys.
• 0:58
  All right, the two bad guys at Atlanta, wow, NASCAR still got
• 1:05
  it going on. I mean, from Bowman Gray to the
• 1:11
  truck race in the Xfinity race, in the Daytona 500, at Daytona,
• 1:16
  and then Atlanta, I mean, this Atlanta respond right here is
• 1:23
  Atlanta everybody's new favorite racetrack.
• 1:27
  Did you see those grandstands? You know, I was there.
• 1:33
  I was at Atlanta, and I'm going to tell you what, I've never
• 1:37
  seen a racetrack recover so quick.
• 1:42
  Atlanta was the racetrack that we thought, well, they're going
• 1:46
  to have to tear Atlanta down. It's over.
• 1:48
  Atlanta's no good anymore. And boy, you talk about being
• 1:53
  brave. This is a lesson to all of us.
• 1:56
  Never give up. I don't know the names of the
• 2:00
  people that decided to come up with this new design.
• 2:06
  We know that Marcus Smith deserves a credit because he
• 2:09
  owns the racetrack Speedway Motorsports Incorporated, SMI.
• 2:16
  They own Atlanta, Bristol, Charlotte, TX.
• 2:21
  They even rent Circuit of the America.
• 2:24
  So yeah, they rent Circuit of the America.
• 2:28
  They run out there and you know, Loudon, NH and Sears Point, so
• 2:33
  on and so forth. But the bottom line is the
• 2:37
  people that came up with this new Atlanta design, they saved
• 2:42
  Atlanta. That crowd was in there.
• 2:45
  It was packed. It was exciting, but we still
• 2:48
  have two bad guys. And I must say, before I get to
• 2:54
  the two bad guys, because I know you like juice.
• 2:56
  Oh, I I'm going to hate somebody.
• 2:58
  I love it. Yeah.
• 3:00
  Let's hate people. That's the way you all are.
• 3:04
  You don't like anything good. You like bad.
• 3:07
  So Herman's Herman's Coffee with Kenny Day is about two bad
• 3:11
  people. They bad.
• 3:13
  They're bad. Shame.
• 3:15
  Shame, but Atlanta was another home run.
• 3:21
  Wow. How about that truck race that
• 3:26
  Kyle Busch won by just, I mean, what was it?
• 3:30
  My God, offender, Not even offender.
• 3:33
  It was way closer than that. And then and then that Xfinity
• 3:36
  race, they're wrecking their ass off down that back straight away
• 3:41
  and they come around and you know, another, another barn
• 3:45
  burner. So we get to Sunday and I fly
• 3:50
  down there with my friend John Scotone.
• 3:53
  And first thing I noticed is, man, this place is this place is
• 3:58
  popping Trackside Live. It was packed, packed of people.
• 4:03
  And I was like, OK, this is the biggest crowd we've ever had at
• 4:05
  Trackside live. So, so the race gets to going.
• 4:11
  All right, I'm going to tell you you're 2 bad guys.
• 4:17
  NASCAR, NASCAR, NASCAR is bad. Shame on them.
• 4:23
  Let's let's whip them with a wet noodle.
• 4:27
  OK, let's, let's whip them with a wet noodle.
• 4:30
  And here's why. Let me take a let me take a
• 4:33
  drink of coffee before I tell you why they're bad.
• 4:41
  They don't know when to throw the caution.
• 4:44
  NASCAR does not know when to throw the caution.
• 4:48
  Now we are at let's go back to Daytona and I'm going to put
• 4:54
  this in chronological order because I'm right, I'm right,
• 4:58
  OK, And I know I'm right. And I'm going to tell you why.
• 5:02
  Right now we're we're at Daytona.
• 5:05
  And on that Thursday, the drivers are from here.
• 5:10
  They're from here to my gutter from the start finish line and
• 5:14
  they're wrecking. And it makes no sense to throw a
• 5:18
  caution because you're from here to the gutter that the wrecks
• 5:21
  are already wrecked. So let Eric Jones win, you know,
• 5:26
  let, let Eric Jones win in the 43 Richard Petty number because
• 5:31
  that's what we all wanted, right?
• 5:33
  We wanted Richard Petty to win in the number 43 legacy car
• 5:40
  owned by Jimmie Johnson. Well, NASCAR said no, we're
• 5:43
  going to throw the caution right before the gutter.
• 5:46
  And when we get to the start finish line, you know, it's not
• 5:54
  the turn out we want it. We we, we give the win to Austin
• 6:00
  and Syndrich, who was leading back, you know, a football field
• 6:03
  away. So that was complete drama.
• 6:06
  The fans were pissed. Boo NASCAR.
• 6:10
  You should have never thrown the caution.
• 6:14
  So then handful of days go by and NASCAR says, now here's the
• 6:20
  problem. I read everything NASCAR says,
• 6:23
  boy, we made a mistake. We should have never thrown the
• 6:26
  caution. And we're all right.
• 6:27
  We're like, right. NASCAR said we should have never
• 6:31
  thrown that caution in that twin.
• 6:33
  And we're all like, right, OK, we like NASCAR because they get
• 6:36
  it. They listen to us fans because
• 6:38
  we're customers always, right? Then we go to, then we go to
• 6:44
  Atlanta, we go to Atlanta, right?
• 6:48
  And the Xfinity race Saturday night, they're wrecking their
• 6:52
  ass off down that back straight away.
• 6:55
  And if you're ever going to throw a caution you got, you
• 6:57
  should throw it now because here's why.
• 7:00
  Because they were wrecking halfway in the middle of the
• 7:04
  field so that, you know, like if you have 40 cars in the 20th
• 7:10
  place, cars wrecking and they're sliding all around, need to
• 7:13
  throw the caution because you don't want 30th through 40th to
• 7:17
  run into everybody. You got to throw the caution,
• 7:19
  right? Because if you don't throw the
• 7:20
  caution there, you know, they won't let off the gas.
• 7:25
  So listen to this story. This is pretty wild.
• 7:31
  I know some things you don't know.
• 7:33
  So in the drivers meeting on Sunday, somebody stands up and
• 7:39
  says, all right, gentlemen, we messed up in the Xfinity race
• 7:46
  yesterday. Don't get used to that.
• 7:48
  We we should have thrown the caution, but they allowed the
• 7:51
  Xfinity cars to come around, no caution.
• 7:55
  And we're thinking, boy, this is getting stranger by the day.
• 7:59
  They throw the caution at Daytona.
• 8:02
  They don't throw the caution on Saturday night.
• 8:05
  And somebody stands up in the drivers meeting.
• 8:09
  You can say his name right here. I'm going to, I'm going to call
• 8:11
  that person NASCAR and, and NASCAR gets up in the drivers
• 8:17
  meeting Sunday in front of the Cup guys and said, OK guys, it's
• 8:20
  a new day. Don't get used to what we did
• 8:23
  yesterday because we should have thrown the caution in the
• 8:28
  Xfinity race because the wreck was like 20th place and 3020
• 8:33
  other cars had to run through the wreck.
• 8:35
  Watch it, watch the replay. I was there.
• 8:40
  So everybody's like OK, we throw the caution at Daytona.
• 8:45
  We didn't throw the caution. So you see what's going on here.
• 8:50
  All right, now let's go to the biggest race of a mall, the
• 8:55
  date, the Daytona 500, the Atlanta race, the Cup race.
• 9:00
  We got the biggest rivalry in Motorsports, but a fun rivalry,
• 9:04
  Kyle Larson said at the Chili Bowl.
• 9:06
  I don't like running second, I don't like running second.
• 9:10
  Christopher Bell, they're side by So Carson Hosovar gets this
• 9:19
  run and knocks the hell out of Kyle Larson, moves him up the
• 9:25
  track. Now we're three wide.
• 9:27
  Coming again, we're three wide at Atlanta.
• 9:30
  This is why this is the the greatest.
• 9:32
  This is the greatest race track in NASCAR right now.
• 9:35
  Now we're three wide. But hold on.
• 9:38
  Whoa. Back behind us, back behind us
• 9:43
  in in the middle of the straightaway, but somewhere, you
• 9:48
  know, in the middle, not middle of the field somewhere they
• 9:52
  start wrecking her ass off and it's a good one.
• 9:55
  And they throw the caution. They throw the caution.
• 10:02
  We're like son of a booger. So it's like we didn't want the
• 10:10
  caution to fall, you know, So NASCAR right now is wishy washy
• 10:19
  and they've got to, they've got to make up, they got to have a
• 10:21
  press conference because right now we got the best start in the
• 10:25
  NASCAR season ever. Everything is awesome.
• 10:28
  NASCAR is awesome right now. But they have, they have got to
• 10:32
  figure this. Everybody just threw their hands
• 10:34
  up in the air. Everybody's like what, what the
• 10:37
  hell? So here's the problem they're
• 10:43
  dealing with. They got to come with like a
• 10:45
  line or they got to figure something out and I know what to
• 10:47
  do because I fix things. They got to figure out OK, when
• 10:55
  to throw that caution and when not to.
• 10:57
  And they got to make a clear acknowledgement of it because
• 11:02
  we're side by side coming to the start finish line every time.
• 11:06
  Now on on the other hand, this tells you how good these races
• 11:09
  are. See, right now I'm chewing
• 11:12
  NASCAR's ass out, but I'm also saying how good everything is.
• 11:16
  My God, it can't. It can't get any better right
• 11:19
  now. But they are so inconsistent
• 11:21
  with these caution flags. Get your together, guys.
• 11:25
  Get it together. All right, Throw the caution at
• 11:30
  Daytona. Don't throw the caution in the
• 11:32
  Xfinity race. Throw the caution.
• 11:34
  So I love y'all, but you got to get together.
• 11:37
  It's like Brother Rusty telling me, Herman, this is constructive
• 11:41
  criticism. Constructive criticism.
• 11:45
  All right, Carson Hosovar, young kid roughing roughing the
• 11:57
  veterans feathers up and boy, they don't like it.
• 12:02
  Of all people, of all people, Ross Chastain going to have a
• 12:08
  talk with Carson Hose of art. It was three years ago that the
• 12:13
  whole field was ready to kill Ross Chastain.
• 12:16
  And I'd done the video behind the house at the swimming pool
• 12:20
  and Ross Chastain come up to me at Saint Louis.
• 12:23
  He said I don't want to have to be part of another video out by
• 12:26
  the swimming pool. Herman, remember when Rick
• 12:30
  Hendrick was mad at Ross and he was just a having a good old
• 12:34
  time roughing feathers up? Now our next superstar is Carson
• 12:39
  Hosevar. So Kyle Busch said Carson
• 12:44
  Hosevar is fast, but his his moves were too close.
• 12:51
  Like like Kyle said, I had to let out of gas.
• 12:54
  I had to let out of the gas. He he blocked me.
• 13:00
  So now everybody's mad at Carson Hosevar.
• 13:04
  My message to Carson is this, this too shall pass.
• 13:11
  But you got to listen to him because I pissed people off too.
• 13:15
  You're new and you're up front. And they, they're like, who the
• 13:18
  hell is this 77? He's never up here.
• 13:20
  Why is he up here? You're running good now, Carson,
• 13:25
  you have arrived and you're going to piss the front runners
• 13:29
  up because you you taking one of their spots.
• 13:32
  So just be respectful. Ross is driving good now.
• 13:37
  He's one of the veterans. So listen to Ross.
• 13:42
  They're all going to they're all going to try to make you feel
• 13:44
  bad, but that's only 'cause you you taking their money from
• 13:47
  them. All right?
• 13:52
  That's all there is to it. It's short and sweet about
• 13:55
  Carson. Carson Hosovar has arrived.
• 13:57
  He's been fast. That team's got it going on now
• 14:01
  and I, you know, we saw Carson, what was it last year at Saint
• 14:05
  Louis? We're like, damn, this guy's
• 14:06
  fast. And now they starting to put it
• 14:08
  together. So congratulations, Carson
• 14:11
  Hosovar, take the ass chewing, say yes, Sir, yes, Sir.
• 14:16
  And go out and and keep running up front like you're doing right
• 14:19
  now. But you got to listen to them.
• 14:21
  But they've all been through what you're going through.
• 14:24
  All right, Boy, those two bad people.
• 14:30
  Shame, but NASCAR's got it going on right now.
• 14:34
  They are the show. You know, I can tell there's a
• 14:37
  lot of there's a lot of lot of NASCAR's back, baby, NASCAR's
• 14:45
  back because everybody's talking.
• 14:47
  I love it. All right, we'll see you at
• 14:50
  Circuit of the America. Trackside Live starts at 11:00
• 14:55
  Circuit of the America Time this Sunday.
• 14:59
  Have a great Monday, everybody.
