Should Shane van Gisbergen Be Disqualified From The NASCAR Playoffs? | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

  Happy Tuesday morning everybody. Beautiful day here in Arnold, MO
• 0:11
  Got the beach ball floating in the swimming pool.
• 0:18
  Swimming pool. I've been all over.
• 0:23
  I remember when we would run the American Speed Association ASA,
• 0:28
  and we'd be up north, we'd be in Milwaukee and they would say no,
• 0:35
  and then yeah, and O and A, then I'd go down South for Bob
• 0:44
  Harmon's All Pro races and oh, Steve Grissom would say, give me
• 0:51
  the hose pipe. I'm like, what the hell is a
• 0:53
  hose pipe, Steve? Water hose, you know, in the
• 0:59
  Midwest we'd say press the gas pedal.
• 1:02
  Steve Grissom would say mash on the gas pedal.
• 1:10
  Man, I'll tell you what, you go from the North to the Midwest to
• 1:14
  the South and the verbiage, the lingo, it changes.
• 1:19
  And I just gave you an example. All right, everybody, quite a
• 1:26
  subject today. Once again I I watch and I see
• 1:32
  what's going on and it appears that we got a real problem with
• 1:39
  SVG. Shane van Gisbergen.
• 1:44
  You just don't like him coming from New Zealand and winning all
• 1:48
  the road course races this year. It's not that you don't like him
• 1:53
  winning the road course races, it's that you don't think he
• 1:56
  deserves to be in the playoffs because he's only really good at
• 2:00
  one type of racing. Oh, sometimes people, sometimes
• 2:08
  people kill me. I'll tell you what, Jonathan
• 2:11
  Davenport, he just doesn't deserve to be going for the
• 2:14
  championship because he just always wins.
• 2:17
  Eldora, you know, every once in a while he'll win Florence, but
• 2:20
  he just always wins Eldora. So Jonathan shouldn't deserve to
• 2:23
  be he's just too good at one track.
• 2:30
  People sometimes I wonder if in in life that we're just jealous
• 2:36
  of anybody that does something that we want to do.
• 2:40
  So NASCAR came out with a schedule, and on the schedule
• 2:45
  was all these Rd. course tracks because there was a time that
• 2:52
  the road course races were everything.
• 2:54
  Remember the other New Zealander, the Australian Marco
• 2:58
  Ambrose? Remember that race?
• 3:00
  And Marco Ambrose and Fred Keselowski and those guys, they
• 3:05
  were going at it. Incredible finishes at the Glen
• 3:08
  and all of a sudden everybody's like, man, we love this road
• 3:10
  racing. So NASCAR said, OK, all the fans
• 3:16
  like Rd. racing, so we'll give you some Rd. racing.
• 3:20
  So they put they put the road courses out there, you know,
• 3:24
  Mexico City, Mexico, the street course at Chicago, Sonoma,
• 3:30
  Watkins Glen, Those are 4. You know, we didn't see you.
• 3:39
  You you don't know what's going to happen until you do it so the
• 3:44
  reason NASCAR has Rd. course races is because of what I told
• 3:48
  you the races were incredible so they said OK let's do it.
• 3:53
  We never saw in a million years SVG winning all of them and
• 3:57
  complete domination. There's Brody coming up and
• 4:04
  getting ready for the the big garage sale.
• 4:08
  He gonna turn it around. So multifamily garage sale right
• 4:13
  here on my birthday, August 23rd starts at 8:00 AM Address 48-O6
• 4:22
  Old Lemay, Lemay Ferry Rd., Imperial, MO 63052 Rewind it.
• 4:34
  Remember, I'm not allowed to repeat myself.
• 4:36
  Oh, but in some cases I am. My address is 4 eight O 6 Old
• 4:44
  Lemay, Lemay Ferry Rd. Imperial, MO 63052 on August
• 4:55
  23rd. That's my birthday.
• 4:56
  The garage show starts at 8:00 AM.
• 5:00
  I'll be here. Now remember, I'm racing that
• 5:02
  night, so we'll see how things go, but I'll be in the garage.
• 5:07
  I'll be getting my Sunoco dirt car ready to go for that night.
• 5:13
  I got a generator for sale. I got a right side door.
• 5:16
  I got a quarter panel. I got some tools that we had in
• 5:20
  the motorhome back in my NASCAR days.
• 5:23
  I got like 4 small tool boxes, little bitty ones, you know,
• 5:27
  handheld ones. And I'll be gathering more stuff
• 5:30
  up. But anyway, getting back to SVG,
• 5:35
  respond right here. When a man wins all four races
• 5:40
  that NASCAR puts on the schedule.
• 5:42
  Because remember 3-4 years ago you all liked Rd. racing.
• 5:46
  Now you don't like it because one man want them all.
• 5:51
  Do you have a problem with SVG winning all four?
• 5:55
  Remember you all didn't like Jimmie Johnson because he won
• 5:59
  what, 3 or 4 championships in a row?
• 6:03
  Remember that. You can't.
• 6:06
  You can't do that guys. I'm here to defend SVG, so I
• 6:12
  want to give you my opinion. OK, now I told you how we got to
• 6:15
  this point, why we got so many Rd. races.
• 6:18
  I told you the races that made you all love the road course
• 6:23
  racing. So here's my defense of SVG.
• 6:27
  Here's why I think it's just fine that he's in the playoffs
• 6:30
  and he deserves it. First of all, you know, you you
• 6:34
  look at him. OK?
• 6:36
  Right now I'm just defending SVG.
• 6:38
  I'm not defending the points yet.
• 6:40
  Right now, OK, we're talking about SVG.
• 6:43
  You can't right in the middle of the season, go, oh, SVG, you're
• 6:46
  only good at Rd. racing. This guy's a rookie.
• 6:52
  He has, you know how many races? Do you know how many Cup races
• 6:55
  SVG has run? 38.
• 6:59
  He's won five of 38. So he comes from New Zealand,
• 7:05
  Australia, same damn thing. It's kind of like saying
• 7:09
  Missouri, Illinois, that we're right next to each other.
• 7:14
  So SVG comes all the way across the world literally to a strange
• 7:21
  country just like Marco Ambrose did.
• 7:25
  And he's really good at this particular car that NASCAR is
• 7:28
  designed now. He's not in your argument.
• 7:31
  He don't care about your argument.
• 7:33
  Remember SV GS not involved with you guys going I don't like this
• 7:37
  car. He don't know nothing about
• 7:38
  that. He's not involved in that
• 7:40
  conversation. He's just like track house
• 7:43
  racing called him up, said, hey, man, you're really good at what
• 7:46
  you do over there. Come on over here to America.
• 7:50
  You know, you listen to any like The Beatles and you know, Led
• 7:54
  Zeppelin, all those musical groups, you know what they say?
• 7:58
  They say America is where it's at.
• 8:00
  And that's right, it is. America is badass because it's a
• 8:04
  land of opportunity. The reason everybody wants to
• 8:06
  come to America is because you can do anything you want here.
• 8:10
  Our forefathers, man, they got the rules right.
• 8:13
  Sometimes I wonder why other countries just don't copy our
• 8:18
  our forefathers when they laid down and they sat down, they
• 8:21
  made all these rules, you know, rules of engagement for America.
• 8:24
  Why don't other countries do that?
• 8:25
  Why don't they copy our rules? So everybody wants to come to
• 8:29
  America. So here's SVG comes to America,
• 8:36
  wins 5 of 38 and you got some fans out or gone.
• 8:39
  No shame. You don't belong in the playoffs
• 8:42
  because you only went on road course races.
• 8:48
  People, you're so wrong. These are the rules.
• 8:54
  Respond right here. Have a great, great Tuesday,
• 8:59
  everybody.
