  Hi everybody, it's Herma Worm Weaver.
• 0:03
  Hey, that's the easiest introduction I've ever done.
• 0:06
  Is it Why? Why'd you choose that with me?
• 0:08
  Because I feel comfortable around you.
• 0:11
  That's good. We talk a lot.
• 0:12
  We're always on the phone together, Trev.
• 0:14
  Jacoby, I love you dearly. Your dad, Bert Jacoby, and
• 0:19
  myself, your grandpa Glenn. Man, I go way back to when I was
• 0:26
  a kid, when I started with your family.
• 0:28
  You're grown up now and you're winning races.
• 0:34
  As Schrader would say, you're at a race track.
• 0:38
  We're. At a race track, bring the.
• 0:42
  Cars to the infield. Bring the cars to the infield if
• 0:43
  you haven't. Tech inspected did.
• 0:46
  They pick you guys for anything. This week they were all over my
• 0:49
  stuff. Well, you know, they got the new
• 0:51
  body rules for the modifieds. Everything's got to be square,
• 0:54
  and I think they're trying to get everybody in line.
• 0:57
  You ready? You ready to start a
• 0:58
  conversation? Let's go, Kenny.
• 1:00
  Conversation. I'm here.
• 1:02
  Hello everybody, remember I-55 Federated auto parts Raceway
• 1:09
  March 19th 2020 First mods gone wild. 5000 wins for A mods and B
• 1:16
  mods. I've never had you on Kenny
• 1:19
  Conversation. No, I haven't been on there yet.
• 1:21
  I don't have a webcam though, so it probably wouldn't be very
• 1:23
  good. I came across you about 7 years
• 1:27
  ago or so and I saw you in AB Mod and I was in turns 3 and 4
• 1:32
  at Granite and I was really impressed with your your
• 1:35
  throttle control. And I said to myself, oh, he's
• 1:39
  another Kenny Wallace, where he acts crazy, but he's not crazy.
• 1:43
  No, I'm crazy, that's for sure. I, I find you and I were similar
• 1:48
  where people we're, we're all centered, but when we get in
• 1:50
  that race car, you know, like me, I have a little bit of
• 1:53
  Tourettes, you know, my grandbabies, Poppy, why you do
• 1:56
  this and you got your crazy ways.
• 1:58
  But boy, when you get in that race car, you drive fast.
• 2:01
  Do you find it? Do you find it?
• 2:05
  Is it hard on yourself to separate?
• 2:07
  The guy that wants to have fun wants to be like Grandpa Glenn?
• 2:10
  You want to announce the racist, but you're a good race car
• 2:13
  driver. Yeah, it's, I got a lot of my
• 2:15
  mom and me, like you said, you were telling a story yesterday
• 2:18
  about how I used to be on the Internet and run my mouth and
• 2:21
  that's all from my mom. My mom is not afraid to say what
• 2:23
  she's thinking. And.
• 2:25
  But yeah, when we're racing here, I'm, I'm on the goofier
• 2:29
  side, you know, I'll be at home and playing video games or
• 2:32
  something silly if I'm not in the shop.
• 2:33
  And you know, a lot of people make fun of me like Colton.
• 2:36
  We're in the oh, by the way, Colton's working the camera.
• 2:39
  Thank you Colton, you are a superstar.
• 2:41
  We're in the hotel room and I'm making him watch Pitch Perfect
• 2:44
  because I just like the size of that.
• 2:46
  See, it's, that's just how I am. And then when we get to the race
• 2:50
  track, I'm kind. I feel like if I'm a threat to
• 2:53
  win, I still feel like people think I'm a goofy guy.
• 2:55
  I'm sure you deal with that, too.
• 2:56
  It's my, you know, when someone else, like a serious guy comes
• 3:00
  in and wins everybody, you know, if they fear him on the track or
• 3:03
  you know, they're man, he's in our race.
• 3:05
  I feel like if I'm in their race, they go.
• 3:07
  He could win, but you know. They they don't fear us because
• 3:10
  because we're happy. Yeah.
• 3:11
  So I started that years ago, but I don't, I don't say it a lot.
• 3:17
  I think people think we get in the car and we go.
• 3:21
  That's how that's honestly how I think they feel about it.
• 3:25
  But but you're a winner. You win a lot of races.
• 3:29
  You know, I really think we have Mike Harrison in the Midwest and
• 3:32
  then you. I I don't I wouldn't go there
• 3:34
  yet. It's still I still think you
• 3:36
  canoyer. I'm probably forgetting some
• 3:39
  Michael Long for sure. Our area is just it's real
• 3:42
  stacked. I mean, they got we have guys
• 3:44
  that come down here and they have Gators too back home.
• 3:47
  Michael Long's won this race a lot here.
• 3:49
  And you know, you know, it's, it's different everywhere you
• 3:52
  go. But I feel like when someone
• 3:53
  comes out of town to our area, you know, on a local show.
• 3:56
  You won them all. You won everyone this year.
• 3:59
  You. You told me I'm the Jamie
• 4:00
  McMurray of the dirt racing. You don't.
• 4:03
  He doesn't win local races. What happens is he he'll run
• 4:07
  second or third to me. But when the summer nationals
• 4:10
  come in town with the Mars, you win all the big.
• 4:12
  Races I I I feel like because I shut my brain off I don't get
• 4:16
  nervous about bigger shows because I just tell myself every
• 4:20
  race is an 8 lap heat race. Just pretend it's a weekly show
• 4:23
  and then on a weekly show, I feel like there's more pressure
• 4:25
  because if you don't win those people, people get on the
• 4:27
  Internet and go, man, you want to help Tori If you couldn't win
• 4:29
  a weekly show, it Beverly. Oh, Charlie Mefford, he's he's
• 4:34
  identical to us. You know, he became very famous
• 4:37
  at the Dome. He flipped his car and he
• 4:39
  thought, well, I'm destroyed. But he was smart enough to
• 4:42
  create a theatrical event out of it, sell a lot of T-shirts, and
• 4:45
  he just yells, you can't park there.
• 4:48
  And now he's the fastest modified pretty much.
• 4:52
  You know, four or five months ago he won 10,000 to win and
• 4:55
  Eldora passed everybody. Now he shows up here.
• 4:58
  Do you feel like Charlie is a little bit like you and I?
• 5:01
  But when I get C1 on one he's dead serious.
• 5:04
  Charlie for sure. We repented right next to him
• 5:07
  that year at the Dome and I couldn't.
• 5:09
  I have never seen a front stub that destroyed from that wreck
• 5:12
  he had. And I was making jokes because I
• 5:15
  keep seeing people come over and they're looking at me and I I
• 5:18
  realize they're asking me where Charlie's at.
• 5:19
  I thought they wanted my autograph for something.
• 5:21
  And then and then they're coming over.
• 5:24
  Charlie's nowhere to be found. So I start texting him, Charlie,
• 5:28
  you got a line of people here. You get down, here he goes.
• 5:30
  He's still a little kid at the. Time he doesn't realize you
• 5:32
  can't part there. People are coming up to him and
• 5:35
  he's just so hyperactive. He's not paying attention to
• 5:38
  people like this is how they're going to like think of Charlie
• 5:40
  this they're meeting him right now and he's he's calmed down a
• 5:44
  lot. He's getting he's a lot better
• 5:46
  now with the people than he was because man, Charlie was he was
• 5:50
  so funny that I love seeing him. He was a.
• 5:53
  Kid, he was a kid and and now what do you think he comes to?
• 5:57
  You know, I always say the only driver we're missing here right
• 6:00
  now is Mike Harrison, maybe Michael Long, but there's 100
• 6:03
  modifies here, 98. So everybody that's anybody.
• 6:07
  I mean, there's thousands of model.
• 6:09
  This is the biggest car count of race car in America, whether
• 6:12
  it's IMCA, MOD, USMTSUSAR, whatever.
• 6:16
  These are the largest car counts.
• 6:18
  But for UMP, don't you think like everybody's here besides
• 6:22
  Michael Long and Mike Harris, Yeah.
• 6:23
  It's we don't really have a Boone super nationals type of
• 6:26
  event where you get 400 of us, but I feel like this is that
• 6:29
  caliber just on a on a lower car.
• 6:33
  Like it's still not a low car count.
• 6:34
  There's 8090 of us. And but anybody that can win a
• 6:38
  race anywhere in the country is in this field tonight.
• 6:40
  And you know, we, we spread out through 6 features.
• 6:44
  So I'm looking forward to seeing Saturday.
• 6:46
  Like last night, we got to watch Saturday's makeup feature and I
• 6:50
  missed. I didn't get to come down here
• 6:51
  when everybody would race for one feature a night.
• 6:54
  I felt like even like Nick says, he won them all back when
• 6:57
  everybody was racing for one race.
• 6:59
  Well, that's what we did here on Thursday and Friday night.
• 7:02
  I wish I could have came down for that, but I had to kind of
• 7:04
  plan it because we decided to do this two weeks ago and I, I
• 7:08
  looked at the car like I haven't taken it apart.
• 7:11
  It's still dirty. I fix the deck, I fix the deck a
• 7:15
  little bit and get the skew right and then I'll be heading
• 7:17
  down to Volusia, so. So did you, I mean, and listen,
• 7:21
  I, I, I, I don't know, I'm just, I'm reading your mind.
• 7:24
  I, I, I feel like we're all the same in some, you know, here,
• 7:28
  but but how we, how we portray it could be different.
• 7:31
  In other words, I feel like all of us are the same, but we might
• 7:35
  say it differently. Were you?
• 7:37
  Were you watching the TV and go? I can't take.
• 7:39
  This. No, I'm watching guys like you
• 7:40
  that I race against all year long.
• 7:43
  Logging, logging. Laps, logging laps.
• 7:44
  And then I'm, you know, I'm not, I don't really want to text
• 7:47
  Canoyer that I'm going down because he's just like me.
• 7:49
  Canoyer is going to. I'm going.
• 7:51
  He's going to pack up Rick. Canoyer will miss a family
• 7:54
  wedding for 700 people. Believe me, he he.
• 7:57
  And that's why he's. So much incredible.
• 8:00
  He's one of the. Greatest racers there's guys
• 8:02
  that we race against and they they will put racing 1st.
• 8:06
  And you know, I'm kind of I just got married and I've got a wife
• 8:09
  now that didn't grow up around racing.
• 8:11
  So whenever I put things racing above other things, she's what
• 8:15
  is wrong with you? It's you can go without a weekly
• 8:18
  show and be I'm like, I really can't.
• 8:20
  I don't you don't understand right now.
• 8:22
  OK, so I told Colton. I said Colton, when we get to 8
• 8:25
  minutes, shake your head real hard.
• 8:27
  So nobody. 'S anything.
• 8:29
  He's like my arms are hurting. This we, we will do an official,
• 8:32
  we will do a Kenny conversation with Trump down the road.
• 8:35
  But let's wrap it up like this. I, I know this was a dream come
• 8:40
  true. Gators are the hardest trophies
• 8:42
  there are. There's a hundred cars.
• 8:44
  They give us 6A night. It's a very rare trophy.
• 8:47
  Let's end it like this. How do you feel right here now
• 8:51
  that you can take a Gator back to your house?
• 8:53
  Yeah, we, we drove all the way here and I'm like I was telling
• 8:56
  you earlier, we're, we're, we had it for 16 hours and there's
• 9:00
  only one thing that you're going to do this week that means
• 9:02
  anything and that's bring home a Gator.
• 9:04
  Yes. And to Saint.
• 9:05
  Louis, I said, man, Colton, you know, we could go here for six
• 9:07
  days and have nothing to show for it.
• 9:10
  And we just happened to win our feature last night and I said
• 9:13
  hell. Of a race hey when you and.
• 9:14
  Bollinger If we suck the rest of the week, we get we did what we
• 9:16
  set out to do. You had the most exciting race,
• 9:19
  you and Boldinger going at it side by side.
• 9:21
  I found it really awesome. You 2 Midwest guys, you know,
• 9:24
  we're from Missouri, he's from Illinois, but.
• 9:26
  I was running 2nd and I saw the cushion like anybody who knows
• 9:30
  me knows it's driving me insane not using it.
• 9:32
  So I jumped up there. You know, there's a lot of the,
• 9:37
  a lot of cars nowadays, I've noticed the guys up front, they
• 9:40
  never really get up there on the, they could be running
• 9:42
  second and the cushion would catapult them to the lead.
• 9:45
  It's like they don't do it because there's such a a respect
• 9:49
  thing for you and your your car to just run through the middle
• 9:52
  and respect your equipment. And I feel like, man, I grew up
• 9:55
  watching Mike Harrison. When it's go time, it's go.
• 9:57
  Time 2 doors right on my mouth. Do you feel like as a child you
• 10:00
  absorbed that Midwest bull ring? Did you absorb?
• 10:04
  That I seen what he's the lengths he'll go to, he'll start
• 10:07
  16th and RIP. He'll break the wall down going.
• 10:09
  To the front, OK, But on the other side, you got Charlie
• 10:12
  Medford, who grew up in the South where there is no cushion.
• 10:15
  That's red clay. He did OK that one like this.
• 10:19
  You heard my story about Charlie.
• 10:21
  He passed me on the outside and he was going like this.
• 10:24
  Zero for Bloomer. Bloomer would run through the
• 10:27
  middle. And what did you do to Colton?
• 10:31
  Colton's favorite song right now is I'm talking about in it, and
• 10:35
  I'm not going to explain what it means, but under Yell, I looked
• 10:37
  at Colton. I'm like I'm talking about in.
• 10:38
  It you're going. I'm going.
• 10:40
  We're getting in the cushion, we're going to bury it in there.
• 10:42
  So you went through the cushion, Charlie Medford grew up in the
• 10:46
  South red clay and he was going through the middle.
• 10:49
  So I, I, I really think that we're all a product of our
• 10:52
  environment and all right, I love you buddy.
• 10:55
  Good job coming down here and saying hi.
• 10:58
  I love you, Trev. You know I'm your biggest fan.
• 11:00
  Do do you get mad that I brag on you all the time?
• 11:02
  Do you want me to stop talking? No.
• 11:04
  I actually after yesterday, I see you in the drivers or the
• 11:07
  the pill draw line and he's telling random people that I
• 11:10
  don't know who they are. And he's do you guys know Trev
• 11:12
  Jacobi? No.
• 11:13
  And he goes Trev used to talk smack on the Internet and I'm
• 11:16
  going no thanks, Herb. And then it started going like
• 11:18
  at least I ran good last night so they can go OK.
• 11:21
  Herb was bragging on him to an extent.
• 11:23
  So. So I, I, I, it's funny, you
• 11:25
  know, got to keep one in this. You know, I'll say something to
• 11:28
  somebody and I think it's harmless.
• 11:31
  And 10 years later they go, I remember when you said this and
• 11:33
  I, I did, I had no idea. But there are things that people
• 11:37
  said to me years ago that are stuck in my mind that you know.
• 11:42
  You're just like me. We I will see somebody after 10
• 11:45
  years and I. Remember when you did this to?
• 11:47
  Me, I'll make a joke about something that they said on a
• 11:49
  video that they don't even remember doing.
• 11:52
  And I just I that's the only thing that came to my mind when
• 11:54
  I saw them. And I hear you saying that all
• 11:55
  the time. A fan came over and he just had
• 11:57
  to get you. He had to get you so.
• 11:59
  People always want to get you because they're not you see?
• 12:01
  They want to be you. So they they don't want to
• 12:03
  demean you so they can feel equal.
• 12:05
  But all right, we're going to leave it at that.
• 12:08
  Love you all. From where we at?
• 12:10
  Barboursville. What is it?
• 12:12
  Barboursville, Florida. The Lucius Speedway somewhere.
