Kyle Busch: The Day After | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:03
  Saturday morning down here in Charlotte, NC, raining on and
• 0:10
  off. The NASCAR Truck Race was
• 0:14
  supposed to be going on right now, but it's not because of the
• 0:20
  rain this morning. NASCAR and Richard Childress
• 0:29
  Racing unloaded what would have been the number 8 NASCAR Cup car
• 0:38
  of Kyle Busch. So let's start like that,
• 0:43
  everybody. No, no monologue, no normalcy.
• 0:46
  Since everything's not normal, here's what's going on down here
• 0:50
  right now. I'm accidentally right here in
• 0:54
  the middle of it just because I'm down here for tomorrow
• 0:57
  morning's trackside live that starts at 12 noon.
• 1:05
  So a very nice gesture by everybody.
• 1:11
  Richard Childers says, OK, we're going to retire the number 8.
• 1:17
  That number, we're going to retire it and we're going to
• 1:20
  keep that number 8 until Braxton Bush, the son of Kyle Busch, is
• 1:26
  ready to race. He's going to drive for us.
• 1:30
  And when he's ready to race in the NASCAR series, NASCAR Cup
• 1:35
  Series, that's going to be Braxton's number.
• 1:40
  What a heartfelt gesture. No matter how it works out or
• 1:44
  what happens if it works out, that's a heartfelt gesture.
• 1:49
  Very nice. So when they unloaded that car
• 1:54
  this morning of Kyle Busch, it was #33 the other nice gesture
• 2:02
  was NASCAR saying the number 33, which was Kyle Busch's number 8.
• 2:08
  It's now 33. It's going to go through tech
• 2:11
  inspection first, followed by the teammate car, the number 3.
• 2:21
  I really like what I'm saying. I want to give AI, want to give
• 2:29
  a heartfelt shout out to the NASCAR president, the new NASCAR
• 2:36
  president, Steve O'Donnell. Steve O'Donnell held a press
• 2:41
  conference on Friday evening, Said all the right things, had
• 2:50
  the right tone and was a leader. This is the first time that I've
• 2:59
  really seen a NASCAR president say since Mike Elton lead with
• 3:07
  authority and compassion. I really like Steve O'Donnell.
• 3:13
  He's acting as if he's normal like us.
• 3:17
  All of his verbalization is normal, but yet he's the leader.
• 3:24
  He was asked about Kyle Busch immediately and NASCAR president
• 3:31
  Steve O'Donnell said Kyle Busch is an American bad ass.
• 3:37
  And that is that's very heartfelt and that's normal.
• 3:40
  That's normal talk. I like that.
• 3:44
  I think that draws people to NASCAR because our president is
• 3:51
  normal and speaks our language, one of the media members said.
• 3:59
  Did you think about canceling the Coke 600 this week or moving
• 4:03
  it back course? Steve O'Donnell said.
• 4:10
  Kyle Bush would have been pissed if we've done that.
• 4:16
  So, you know, I bring that up because during this time, we all
• 4:22
  need somebody to look forward to.
• 4:24
  You know, we we need, we need a leader.
• 4:27
  That's what that's what it's all about, somebody to lead and
• 4:30
  inspire us, make us feel a little bit better, bring a
• 4:34
  little cheer to our lives and move forward.
• 4:40
  So I think Steve O'Donnell has done a masterful job in
• 4:46
  everything, allowing the car to unload first, go through tech
• 4:51
  inspection, and then, of course, calling Kyle Busch.
• 4:57
  When was the last time you heard a president say Kyle Busch was
• 5:00
  an American badass? All right, I'm going to go here.
• 5:07
  I'm going to go there because I know that's all over the world
• 5:10
  right now. TMZ, they have the ability.
• 5:16
  They were the ones that got Dick Trickles 9/11 call some 12 years
• 5:24
  ago. Everybody has heard the 911 call
• 5:33
  from TMZ. Everybody is speculating right
• 5:36
  now, and none of us know exactly what happened.
• 5:46
  But because of the 9/11 call, it adds perspective.
• 5:52
  And, you know, we don't know what happened.
• 5:56
  We just don't know what happened.
• 5:59
  But right now, as you everybody, everybody can clearly hear
• 6:04
  across the world, poor Kyle Bush was, you know, coughing up blood
• 6:12
  and nauseated. And that leads to something with
• 6:17
  the lungs or heart. And like we all talked about the
• 6:22
  reason. Let me just say this.
• 6:28
  I told my daughter Brittany last night.
• 6:32
  I said, what's two of the most famous words in all of human
• 6:37
  creation? What happened?
• 6:43
  I've heard that more in my life than I care to hear. 2 words.
• 6:49
  What happened? Tell me everything.
• 6:52
  Why? What happened?
• 6:55
  So we'll wait. We'll wait.
• 7:00
  But with the 9/11 call, that is why yesterday I told everybody
• 7:04
  to let let's wait. There's no secret here.
• 7:07
  There's there's no secret. So in some way, the 9/11 call
• 7:13
  released by TMZ calmed everybody down.
• 7:16
  And now all the doctors, all the professional doctors that are
• 7:20
  being hired to go on all the news stations, they're all
• 7:24
  saying the same thing. Lungs, you know, I think you all
• 7:35
  get it now. I'm not going to go any further
• 7:38
  because I don't know. But now we know.
• 7:42
  We know it was something sudden and that's what they're all
• 7:46
  saying. So that's it, everybody.
• 7:51
  Tomorrow morning's coffee with Kenny will be a special that I
• 7:55
  saved. The NASCAR RV lot.
• 8:01
  Are there still fans there? And there are.
• 8:04
  It'll be a heartfelt Kenny conversation tomorrow.
• 8:09
  It will be in place of coffee with Kenny.
• 8:14
  And if this rain holds off tomorrow, on Sunday at noon,
• 8:20
  I'll see you at Trackside Live with Jose Castillo, John Roberts
• 8:24
  and myself, and we'll hopefully have some great guests.
• 8:29
  Still, when I say hopefully, I hope this rain holds off and we
• 8:34
  get the Coca-Cola 600 underway.
