• 0:12
  anything to fix your hot rod, your everyday vehicle and now
• 0:16
  they're telling me your pickup truck or your Jeeps, they have
• 0:20
  all that stuff in stock. Kenny Wallace Show is way
• 0:24
  different than any show we have. It's where I give my opinion.
• 0:28
  So I'm going to give my opinion on a really controversial take
• 0:32
  right now and I need all of you to give me your opinion.
• 0:37
  All right, here we go. The IndyCar Racing League, the
• 0:41
  Indycars. Their first race was March 10th.
• 0:44
  So what Is it, March 26th right now?
• 0:49
  No, it's April 26th, so well over a month ago, over one month
• 0:55
  ago on March 10th, they had the IndyCar race at Saint Petersburg
• 1:00
  and your winner was Team Penske's Joseph Newgarden.
• 1:05
  So Joseph Newgarden wins the race, His other teammates, Scott
• 1:09
  McLaughlin was third and you throw willpower in there.
• 1:13
  So Penske's looking good. All three of their cars, they
• 1:16
  win, they finished first, third I believe a fourth.
• 1:19
  I think willpower was fourth. If not, let me know.
• 1:22
  So all's good. All right, Penske's happy.
• 1:27
  Stay with this story because it gets wild ass crazy.
• 1:32
  Rodger Penske. Walt, Zarnicki, Stendrick.
• 1:37
  I mean, this is the winningest IndyCar team in history,
• 1:45
  especially the Indy 500. Rodger Penske has won the Indy
• 1:49
  519 times. No.
• 1:52
  Tell him what Rodger's going to do if he wins the Indy 500 a
• 1:55
  20th time. So we know that Rodger Penske is
• 2:00
  first class. He does not cheat.
• 2:04
  He does not like cheating My brother Rusty.
• 2:07
  Yes, my brother Rusty. There goes Herman again with my
• 2:10
  brother Rusty. Sorry, but he's my brother.
• 2:13
  Rusty started Penske. SI know for a fact that Rodger
• 2:18
  Penske condemns cheating. He does not like his team's
• 2:21
  cheating. So if anybody at any Team
• 2:25
  Penske, whether it's IndyCar, whether it's NASCAR, if they
• 2:29
  cheat, Rodger Penske gonna be pissed.
• 2:33
  All right, all right, so over a month later, here we are now,
• 2:38
  April 26th, and the IndyCar Racing League, about 3-4 days
• 2:44
  ago, comes out and says, hey, time out.
• 2:48
  Way back in March 10th at our first race at Saint Petersburg,
• 2:53
  Rodger Penske's team was cheating.
• 2:56
  Oh, I would have loved to. I would have loved to have been
• 2:59
  around Rodger Penske. At this point, we're like, OK,
• 3:02
  well, well, what happened? What happened?
• 3:05
  And why, over a month later, are you announcing this?
• 3:09
  All right, let's get right to it.
• 3:11
  Like a video game. You know, we all grew up with
• 3:14
  these video games. You know, I grew up with the fun
• 3:18
  ones. And you know, you could push a
• 3:20
  little button and then give you nitrous oxide, right?
• 3:23
  Remember that? And all of a sudden your, your
• 3:26
  truck, you know, it would go real fast.
• 3:29
  You know, you'd be sitting there mowing along and all of a sudden
• 3:32
  you push the button on the little machine and it would go
• 3:34
  fast. So IndyCar has been testing
• 3:39
  something like this. So Joseph Newgarden of course.
• 3:45
  Scott McLaughlin Willpower and and everybody for that fact,
• 3:49
  they were testing it all right. I think they're just trying to
• 3:55
  figure out how to make it more exciting because I'm I'm going
• 3:57
  to say something real controversial right now.
• 4:00
  I had no damn idea IndyCar was running.
• 4:03
  They Jay Fry is a friend of mine.
• 4:06
  I love Rodger Penske and and these guys are my heroes and I
• 4:10
  love these cars, but they got to do something with their
• 4:12
  marketing 'cause I had no idea they were even racing.
• 4:17
  Their marketing is horrible and I say this respectfully.
• 4:21
  So they're they're trying to figure out how to pep this up
• 4:23
  because in my opinion, right now they got the Indy 500 and then
• 4:27
  there's other races and you know the TV numbers are bad in my
• 4:33
  opinion. OK, now, mind you, I love all
• 4:36
  these guys. I think they're awesome, but
• 4:38
  there aren't. This is the Kenny Wallace Show.
• 4:40
  Respond right here. Tell me how wrong I am and I'm
• 4:44
  not bad mouthing. I'm just saying, OK, all right.
• 4:47
  So here we go. They're they're going to,
• 4:49
  they're going to test. Now it gives you 50 more
• 4:52
  horsepower. If you push this button gives
• 4:54
  you 50 more horsepower and you pass people.
• 4:56
  Now you're assuming that other cars not going to use it at the
• 4:59
  same time and you can only use it a certain amount of time.
• 5:04
  Now Penske Racing forgot air quotes.
• 5:10
  I don't like air quotes. Well, neither do I.
• 5:12
  But you know, there they are look like rabbit ears.
• 5:18
  So this is hard on me because I love Roger Penske.
• 5:21
  Roger Penske's my friend. I call Roger and Roger answers
• 5:26
  because my I called Roger Penske last year and he called me right
• 5:30
  back and we talked about Milwaukee and we had some things
• 5:34
  going on there that's looking good.
• 5:36
  So this is hard on me because my brother Rusty drove for him, but
• 5:42
  Penske Racing did not take this push to pass button is what it's
• 5:49
  called. Now I'm going to say it push to
• 5:52
  pass. Hey, you push this button, you
• 5:54
  pass the other cars, Assuming that guy ain't using it either.
• 5:58
  They forgot to take this, this stuff, you know, computerized
• 6:06
  stuff. They forgot to take it out of
• 6:08
  the car. And, you know, listen, you and I
• 6:11
  have listened to Joseph Newgarden's press release.
• 6:14
  I heard what you heard. I've read what you've read.
• 6:17
  But the old Herman here is going to be bullshit.
• 6:19
  A little bit of it, #1 this is kind of like if you have a nun
• 6:25
  in your family like we do, We have Sister Sorella.
• 6:29
  And when something bad happens in our family, it's like, Oh my,
• 6:32
  what would Sister Sorella think? Right.
• 6:35
  So I guarantee you, all of you guys down there at Penske S that
• 6:39
  are watching this right now, cousin Timmy Gilligan, as you
• 6:42
  are watching us on the TV screens down there at the at the
• 6:46
  NASCAR deal, how many of you down there working for Rodger
• 6:50
  go, Oh no, what will Rodger think?
• 6:54
  Oh boy, what's Rodger going to think now?
• 6:57
  You know Cindric Zarnicky did they know all this when they
• 7:03
  left Saint Petersburg because Joseph Newgarden said when they
• 7:06
  won they thought they just won. They didn't they really didn't
• 7:09
  think there was anything to it gets cloudy all this gets cloudy
• 7:14
  it's like OK they Joseph Newgard saying he thought it was no big
• 7:19
  deal. Like he he in his mind he
• 7:21
  thought it was OK because he uses the push push the pass
• 7:24
  button and and the thing about it is this is like anything now
• 7:28
  it's it's it's like this is like a this is like a camera on the
• 7:32
  street corner. You are not going to get away
• 7:35
  with anything. There's cameras on every street
• 7:38
  corner and NASCAR can even tell you by plugging in with these
• 7:43
  new motors electronic fuel ignition.
• 7:45
  They can plug in and tell you what happened.
• 7:47
  They can tell you if the driver missed the ship.
• 7:49
  They can tell if you're running out of gas.
• 7:51
  They can tell you what happened. That motor.
• 7:53
  So IndyCar racing link, they got all this.
• 7:55
  It's like, hey Bump. Hey, Joseph.
• 8:00
  Hey, Scott McLaughlin. And then and then we'll never
• 8:03
  even used it. So but they did.
• 8:06
  They penalized him 10 championship points.
• 8:09
  But Joseph Newgar, Scott McLaughlin, they got everything
• 8:12
  taken away from him. So they're naked after that
• 8:15
  race. Like, it's like they never ran
• 8:16
  the race. All right.
• 8:19
  So here's the part where we we de bullshit.
• 8:22
  I know Rodger Penske, and I can tell you right now he's
• 8:27
  embarrassed. He's pissed because Rodger
• 8:29
  Penske owns the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, right?
• 8:33
  However, the Herminator, being the promoter I am, I'm thinking
• 8:37
  to myself, hey, guess get in one week.
• 8:41
  So it it it's Friday, April 26 right now, you see 1234 in five
• 8:48
  days, Guess what it's going to be in five days.
• 8:51
  It's going to be the month of May, baby.
• 8:54
  The Indianapolis 500. Kyle Larson's going to be there.
• 8:57
  And guess what the other story's going to be?
• 8:59
  Penske cheated at Saint Petersburg.
• 9:02
  Liars, cheaters, liars. They knew what they was doing.
• 9:07
  My Mama taught me something. This, too, shall soon go away.
• 9:14
  Everybody that does something wrong, liars, cheaters,
• 9:19
  everybody gets it out of their system here.
• 9:22
  OK, I'm going to give you my point of view.
• 9:25
  They did it. It happened.
• 9:28
  I got to tell you, Joseph Newgarden's press conference was
• 9:32
  pretty damn believable. However, they cheated.
• 9:37
  But there's two ways to say cheating.
• 9:39
  Respond right here. Cheat her.
• 9:42
  Cheat her. Go to jail.
• 9:43
  Or they cheated. They screwed up.
• 9:46
  See. See the two ways?
• 9:49
  So if I'm to believe no Joseph Newgarden, which God I really do
• 9:55
  he if he's lying, he should go to Hollywood because he's a hell
• 9:58
  of an actor. And Joseph, he stands out right
• 10:02
  because he's the guy that won the Indianapolis 500 last year.
• 10:05
  Joseph Newgarden is is Rodgers superstar driver right now.
• 10:10
  So the reason Herman decided to do this show because it it it
• 10:15
  it's it's a daytime drama. You know, like it it it's a big
• 10:19
  deal. But I've got to tell I look at
• 10:21
  as a positive man, it it's good for the Indy 500.
• 10:25
  It's got all the NASCAR guys talking.
• 10:27
  All our media is over there. Matt Weaver's over there and
• 10:34
  they needed this because nobody even knew they were racing
• 10:38
  there. I said it.
• 10:39
  Here's the two reasons I think it's OK.
• 10:42
  Number one, you didn't even know they were racing because they do
• 10:45
  a bad job at promoting and maybe they want it that way.
• 10:48
  Maybe they. I mean, I know I'm acting silly,
• 10:51
  but I don't understand why there's there's no promoting of
• 10:54
  an IndyCar race. Everybody on social media says,
• 10:57
  hell, I didn't even know there was a an IndyCar race.
• 11:00
  So number one in a good way. Now you know there's IndyCar
• 11:05
  race #2, Indy 500 is coming up. So, all right, listen, I I broke
• 11:11
  it down. I'm not going to get in the nuts
• 11:13
  and bolts. All I can tell you is they got
• 11:16
  too much gadgetry. I told you why they did it.
• 11:19
  They're trying to enhance their series, make it a little more
• 11:22
  exciting. They know that you kids love
• 11:24
  these computers. They see you all over there on
• 11:26
  twitch and gaming and. But I still think it's pretty
• 11:30
  incredible. This is where we are nowadays.
• 11:34
  Hey, let's make our our sport more exciting.
• 11:37
  Let's let's put a pass to push button.
• 11:40
  Hmm. Should NASCAR do that?
• 11:44
  Respond right here. Should NASCAR put a push to pass
• 11:48
  button? It's like nitrous.
• 11:49
  You only can use it for a total of 5 seconds in the race. 123
• 11:54
  stop, 6 seconds, because you need 3 seconds to kind of get
• 11:59
  going. All right, everybody, please
