  Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Kenny Wallace Show,
• 0:04
  brought to you by Jags, the leader in high performance
• 0:07
  aftermarket car parts. Remember to go to jags.com for
• 0:12
  everything you need to fix your hot rods up.
• 0:15
  Well, as you can tell, we are here at the Minnesota airport
• 0:19
  and we are gonna talk a little bit about Talladega.
• 0:23
  Usually don't break the races down, but there was so much.
• 0:25
  This one had it all right. It had a lot of controversy,
• 0:28
  especially Chase Ellie getting the tow back to the back to the
• 0:32
  pits. Chase Ellie got his car towed
• 0:35
  back. That's the highlight.
• 0:39
  All right, let's sit down here. OK, so Ricky Stenhouse, Ricky
• 0:45
  wins it by .006 over William Byron in second, Brad Keselowski
• 0:51
  in 3rd. Now I'll watch this complete
• 0:54
  race on the airplane. Hit, hit, hit NBC right there.
• 0:58
  Big as all get out. So you know, we see the
• 1:03
  difference between 1st and 2nd. We saw the big Iraq, right?
• 1:07
  By the way, Herminator is not like I'm not like Larry Mack,
• 1:12
  but NBC did a good job. Did you know that was the
• 1:15
  biggest wreck in Talladega history?
• 1:19
  28 car pileup. That's what they said if it's
• 1:23
  wrong get get mad at NBC because it was on the screen.
• 1:28
  So the biggest wreck at Talladega history 28 cars
• 1:32
  involved and I think it was that gap.
• 1:34
  I I mentioned that 30 seconds ago.
• 1:35
  What happened? You have the leader out front,
• 1:38
  Cindrick. Well, it's kind of tied every
• 1:40
  once in awhile. They was three and four wide all
• 1:43
  day long. Way more four way wide.
• 1:46
  Hey Kenny, get get it out of your mouth.
• 1:48
  Clean your mouth up, Wallace. So not really sure why they were
• 1:54
  more for why than I've ever seen.
• 1:57
  Listen, everybody says, hey, Wallace, you ever have any
• 2:02
  success there? I had a lot of success there.
• 2:08
  But you know, I always did my deal like this.
• 2:10
  If I could lead, I would lead if my car was fast.
• 2:13
  If my car wasn't fast, then I would say let me know when
• 2:16
  there's 10 to go and I would time it.
• 2:18
  And back in my day, it was always like, if you want to stay
• 2:22
  out of trouble, be upfront. Now that's a damn joke.
• 2:27
  If you're upfront, you're going to wreck.
• 2:29
  So the leader, and we see this all the time now.
• 2:33
  We see it all the time. Cindric's leading and there's
• 2:37
  this gap, right? And and here comes Brad
• 2:40
  Keselowski. You can't blame this on Brad
• 2:43
  Keselowski because as soon as he hits Cinder, then Joey Logano's
• 2:48
  hitting him. And let me tell you, as a race
• 2:50
  car driver, you're driving like this and all you can see is the
• 2:54
  car in front of you through the, you're looking through the
• 2:56
  windshield and you're listening to your spotter.
• 2:59
  When you're bumper to bumper like that, you're just, you're
• 3:01
  like an idiot. I, I, you really are.
• 3:04
  You're like, duh. And you're there.
• 3:07
  You know, you're, you know, you're trying to prove you're
• 3:09
  worth it. I'm a gladiator, I'm a bad ass.
• 3:12
  But in really, in reality, you're a dumb ass 'cause you're
• 3:15
  just bumper to bumper and you're doing what that car in front of
• 3:19
  you is doing. So when Brad Keselowski had that
• 3:24
  big closing rate, Cinder got out there too far and Brad goes to
• 3:29
  bumping and he's doing the right thing.
• 3:32
  He goes to bumping. Well, then Joey Logano bumps him
• 3:35
  and they all come piling in. So it's it's hard to go.
• 3:38
  Well, Brad, Brad Keselowski run into him.
• 3:42
  No, he went to pop. He went to get up to him.
• 3:46
  And then then the push becomes bigger than it's supposed to be
• 3:50
  and they all Rex syndrome. All right, we get through that.
• 3:54
  I can't be long winded here just because the race was too
• 3:57
  exciting too much going on. I'm not going to break it down
• 4:00
  lap by lap. This is for all of you.
• 4:04
  You know that didn't see everything want to know the
• 4:06
  highlights. So I just I told you the
• 4:08
  highlight the big one that was the big one took out a record 28
• 4:12
  cars told you how it happened. All right, let's get around to
• 4:15
  the finish line here. Ricky Stenhouse, he wins it by,
• 4:20
  you know, he wins it. OK, not going to repeat myself.
• 4:24
  Almost caught myself. OK, I want to talk about Ricky
• 4:28
  Stenhouse for a minute here. And Ricky is a very dear friend
• 4:34
  of mine. I mean, listen, I don't I don't
• 4:36
  say this if I don't mean it. I mean, we're we're, we're,
• 4:38
  we're friends. Me and Stenhouse.
• 4:40
  We, we're, we're friends, but not great friends.
• 4:43
  But if I see Ricky, we're going to high 5, give a man hug.
• 4:48
  The thing myself and Ricky Stenhouse have in common is
• 4:51
  we're dirt racers, right? Jennifer and Richard Marshall,
• 4:55
  Priority Aviation, they sponsor me.
• 4:57
  Well, they're with Ricky too. So that's why we're such good
• 5:02
  friends. So when I said all that, because
• 5:04
  I want to, I want to say this a little bit and I don't want it
• 5:07
  to come across the wrong way. Ricky is that type of driver.
• 5:12
  Just when you think he's not doing good enough, right?
• 5:15
  You know what I'm saying? Stenhouse not doing good enough.
• 5:18
  He, he, oh, he wins again. You see what I'm saying?
• 5:24
  He wins the Daytona 500. Man, Stenhouse hasn't done
• 5:28
  anything all year. Oh, he just won again.
• 5:32
  Ricky Stenhouse two wins on the year.
• 5:36
  That's why he is a Cup driver. He deserves it.
• 5:39
  And it don't matter where you win.
• 5:41
  You can say, you can say Shane Van Gisberg and all he does is
• 5:44
  win on road courses. What do you want me to do?
• 5:48
  He's still winning. You could say Dale Earnhardt
• 5:51
  senior and Dale junior. All they did was win on the big
• 5:53
  tracks and they did win everywhere, no doubt.
• 5:55
  But you understand my point. My point is this.
• 5:59
  Ricky Stenhouse wins his timing as a gift from God.
• 6:05
  I mean, and he was so awesome after that race.
• 6:09
  I almost wanted to give him the nickname like we give Helio
• 6:12
  Castro, Neva's Spider Man. If you didn't watch it,
• 6:15
  somebody's going to have it out there.
• 6:17
  Ricky was calmly jacked up on Mountain Dew.
• 6:20
  He climbed up the flag stand and then jumped over to the fence
• 6:25
  and and he he gave a shout out because, you know, you're close
• 6:28
  to Mississippi. He's from Olive Branch, Ms. What
• 6:32
  a bad ass name. Ricky Stenhouse from Olive
• 6:35
  Branch, Ms. So anyway, right now for the controversy at hand, the
• 6:41
  big controversy, all right, I made a big video four or five
• 6:45
  days ago of NASCAR designed this car wrong.
• 6:50
  They know it. Their backs are against the
• 6:52
  wall. Now, I'm not going to belabor
• 6:54
  the point, but hey, how you doing race fans?
• 6:58
  We're finishing the Kenny Wallace show up.
• 7:01
  All right, I just got I can't be embarrassed.
• 7:04
  Got to keep digging. So anyway, what happens is they
• 7:08
  designed the car wrong and they said, they said, you know, Josh
• 7:12
  Berry spun out all the tires went flat at Kansas City and
• 7:17
  they wouldn't, they wouldn't tow him back because then NASCAR
• 7:19
  rules state if you have flat tires and you cannot drive your
• 7:23
  car back, you're out of the race.
• 7:26
  All right? We already know that because I
• 7:27
  made a video about it. So they have this big wreck.
• 7:33
  Well, there's guys with flat tires and they're stuck in the
• 7:35
  grass. They can't go anywhere.
• 7:37
  So now there's this big game going on.
• 7:39
  Everybody leaves your window Nets up because NASCAR rules
• 7:43
  state if your window neck comes down, that that's a signal that
• 7:46
  I'm OK, Come pick me up. You saw it play out.
• 7:51
  All the drivers were keeping their window Nets up at the
• 7:54
  Talladega wreck, the 28 car wreck, just, you know, tow me
• 7:58
  back. Well, OK, this is kind of a
• 8:01
  joke. Whose car do they tow back?
• 8:03
  Pretty much first? Only our most popular driver,
• 8:08
  Tracy Elliott, don't you know, NASCAR's like, oh, Jesus.
• 8:13
  So there's the innuendo. I'll pick up our most popular
• 8:16
  driver first. So that goes bad.
• 8:21
  But I'll I'll do want to say this.
• 8:23
  Nobody flipped. So I believe those adjustments,
• 8:27
  they made a little adjustment up there on the the arrow flap.
• 8:30
  They made a difference right in in front of the right rear tire
• 8:34
  that helped. Nobody flipped.
• 8:36
  So good job NASCAR. Nobody flipped.
• 8:39
  But they they got an issue. They got an issue and and when
• 8:43
  they get to winter time when that last race is over, they
• 8:46
  have got to fix this because those flat tires and those guys
• 8:51
  never not being able to put it in gear and drive back to the
• 8:54
  pits. It is backing NASCAR in a corner
• 8:58
  and and and it's like how what do you do?
• 9:01
  Because it's like, OK, that car won't move.
• 9:05
  Well, pick that car up. You know, I mean they don't mean
• 9:08
  anything wrong, but because the cars won't move, the drivers
• 9:10
  can't drive them back even though they've been in a wreck.
• 9:13
  You got 1 flat tower, it won't go.
• 9:16
  You got to left for a flat and it won't go.
• 9:17
  All right, everybody, I think we broke it down and we got Jerry
• 9:23
  Hoffman, I think coming up on Tuesday for Kenny conversation.
• 9:28
  Jerry Hoffman on Kenny conversation.
• 9:31
  He owns Springfield, MO dirt track.
• 9:33
  He he's a character. All right, until the next Kenny
• 9:36
  Wallace show, we just keep on rolling.
