  And they'll use my voice out of the speakers.
• 0:07
  OK, if I hear electric vehicle one more time.
• 0:11
  I'm going to go La La La La. Electric vehicle EV Electric
• 0:15
  Vehicle. My gosh.
• 0:17
  It's The Kenny Wallace Show, brought to you by Jags.
• 0:21
  Hello everyone and welcome back to the Kenny Wallace Show
• 0:25
  brought to you by Jags, the leader in high performance

• 0:34
  everything and anything you need to fix your vehicle up.
• 0:39
  Well, I I think this is the very first Kenny Wallace show in a
• 0:43
  long time. We have been loading you up with
• 0:46
  Kenny conversations and you know, Kenny conversation is a
• 0:50
  lot different than this Kenny Wallace show over there.
• 0:54
  Kenny conversation. We interviewed the world's
• 0:57
  greatest race car drivers. But the Kenny Wallace show, the
• 1:00
  one I'm getting ready to give you right now, is my opinion on
• 1:04
  everything. So let's get right to it.
• 1:08
  This electric vehicle, if I if I hear electric vehicle one more
• 1:13
  time, I'm going. To go a La La La La.
• 1:15
  Electric vehicle, Ed. Electric vehicle.
• 1:18
  My gosh, listen, this deal has become so political that NASCAR
• 1:23
  said, all right, all right, we'll make you an electrical
• 1:26
  vehicle. So let me give you my opinion on
• 1:31
  the new NASCAR electrical vehicle that Charlie Marlow is
• 1:36
  going to drop in right now as I'm pointing my finger down.
• 1:41
  Here it is. Here's the NASCAR EV electrical
• 1:45
  vehicle. Get a good look at it.
• 1:47
  Now, one thing I want to point out about this vehicle, NASCAR
• 1:53
  said it's like a it's like an old dog that doesn't have a
• 1:57
  home. It's not a Chevy.
• 1:59
  It's not a Ford, It's not a Toyota.
• 2:03
  It's it's nothing. It it's nothing that they said
• 2:06
  it's not even an automaker. So here's my opinion on this,
• 2:11
  OK? The federal government has been
• 2:17
  so freaked out about going green, going green, and they
• 2:20
  want everybody to do their job. You know, you look over there in
• 2:23
  Formula One, they got a little electric series.
• 2:25
  It's like everybody's just doing something to appease people.
• 2:30
  So NASCAR made this. David Reagan has been testing it
• 2:36
  up at Martinsville. They've been putting on a little
• 2:40
  show. They feel like they're ready to
• 2:43
  show it to the world. This electric vehicle is going
• 2:48
  to be run at the LA Coliseum. So when we watch the LA
• 2:54
  Coliseum, you know that the Clash, it's a fun event inside
• 2:59
  the LA Coliseum. They're going to put this
• 3:02
  electric vehicle on display and David Reagan, the great NASCAR
• 3:06
  race car driver, is going to run it around and everybody's going
• 3:09
  to go there. It is.
• 3:11
  And I'm going to be interested. I want to watch because I want
• 3:15
  to hear does it got any noise. You know, my opinion is if
• 3:19
  electric vehicle is not going to make any noise, I think there
• 3:23
  should be a a little like some speakers and and and some guy
• 3:28
  going like they should let me do it right.
• 3:32
  Hey Herman, can you download your voice and we'll just put
• 3:36
  speakers on each side of the car and and I'll go and they'll use
• 3:42
  my voice out of the speakers. Couldn't help myself.
• 3:48
  So before I get into the politics and of this electric
• 3:53
  vehicle, let's let's let's get the, you know, the whole deal
• 3:59
  wrapped up. OK.
• 4:00
  So we have a NASCAR electric vehicle.
• 4:03
  It's not a brand. It's it's what do they call
• 4:07
  them? Old dogs, mute.
• 4:08
  I don't know. You know, just old dog.
• 4:11
  It's not a Chevy, it's not a Toyota.
• 4:12
  It's out for just a car that way.
• 4:15
  They stayed out of the politics. They tested it at Martinsville.
• 4:19
  David Reagan was the driver. They said it got within a couple
• 4:22
  tenths of the car that we're running right now.
• 4:27
  OK, So anyway, and I believe that this was just to let
• 4:34
  everybody know that NASCAR is innovative.
• 4:37
  Let me tell you also where I think this stemmed from, You
• 4:41
  know, we have been running the normal carburetor for years and
• 4:45
  we finally got electronic fuel ignition.
• 4:47
  And you know, they quit making a carburetor.
• 4:50
  You know, the carburetor that we got in our old dirt cars like,
• 4:53
  you know, my Jags performance dirt car right there, my Jags
• 4:58
  modified. It's got a carburetor on it, but
• 5:01
  they quit making carburetors back in the 1970s.
• 5:05
  So NASCAR was behind in the development of the carburetor.
• 5:11
  So NASCAR's got this new next Gen. car.
• 5:14
  It's it's like earth shattering, ground breaking, breaking.
• 5:19
  But but the new, the new next Gen. car is years behind, years
• 5:23
  behind. It's basically the same car
• 5:26
  they've been running over there in the Australian V8 series.
• 5:30
  If, you know we're going to put one lug nut on.
• 5:32
  Well, they've had one lug nut for 30 years, 40 years, 50 years
• 5:37
  on Indy cars. And so I think this electric
• 5:40
  vehicle is just something for NASCAR.
• 5:42
  We're trying, we're staying innovative.
• 5:45
  So that's my opinion on that. All right.
• 5:48
  Let's move a little further with why I think this is all a big
• 5:54
  pony show dog and pony show. Because NASCAR has come out and
• 6:00
  said look, we believe in the herminator's got it wrote right
• 6:04
  here. Hydrogen combustion motors.
• 6:09
  So I don't think the electric car.
• 6:12
  You know, you you and I, all you smart people out there, all the
• 6:15
  engineers we keep hearing hydrogen is the way to go.
• 6:18
  Well, I don't know about it. OK.
• 6:20
  Respond right here. Tell me why hydrogen is better.
• 6:25
  I can think. Listen as the I'm an old
• 6:27
  redneck. I'll tell you one reason I think
• 6:28
  hydrogen is better because we're all jacked up on Mountain Dew by
• 6:34
  electric car. That's fine.
• 6:36
  That's fine. But you there's 360 million
• 6:41
  people in America, so let's just take half.
• 6:45
  We're we're going to need what, 100 million charging stations?
• 6:50
  I'm betting during 100,000 charging stations in all all of
• 6:54
  America right now. So we got these electric
• 6:58
  vehicles, we're doing our part, we're saving Earth.
• 7:02
  But in the end, it's not practical.
• 7:06
  You know, look, a storm comes, your electric goes out, can't go
• 7:10
  to work the next day because you were charging your vehicle, but
• 7:13
  there's no electric in the house, you know.
• 7:16
  So now we got to go get a generator.
• 7:19
  Remember those things? They advertised what's called
• 7:21
  Gen. vac or whatever vac, but now you can put gas in it to
• 7:25
  make that generator run. So I'm going to say the quote of
• 7:29
  all quotes right here, quotations.
• 7:34
  We will need gasoline and electric and hydrogen to make
• 7:41
  the world go round. End Quote, we're going to need
• 7:45
  it all there. There's nothing wrong with using
• 7:48
  a little bit of everything. But however, do not jam an
• 7:53
  electric vehicle down my throat and go, you got to, you got to
• 7:56
  run an electric vehicle like they're doing out there in
• 7:58
  California, that that's going to be the biggest you've ever seen
• 8:03
  in your life. California's trying to do this
• 8:05
  deal. I mean, they really need to cut
• 8:07
  that state off and move it on out because they're ridiculous.
• 8:12
  You know what is it by 2050 or whatever it is, they're they're
• 8:16
  saying every car got me electric.
• 8:18
  Well, that whole place to go dark.
• 8:20
  Can you see everybody charging their cars up?
• 8:22
  So it's not practical. And like my mom Judy says, don't
• 8:27
  insult my intelligence, OK, You're insulting my
• 8:30
  intelligence. Please don't do that.
• 8:33
  So, all right, let's wrap it up. If NASCAR does do anything
• 8:39
  different, you've heard it here. It's going to be a hydrogen
• 8:44
  combustion motor. So the hermeter's got his notes
• 8:47
  here. You know, I'm always up front.
• 8:50
  Let's go over it all. Electric vehicle, they're not
• 8:53
  going to race it. It's a dog and pony show.
• 8:56
  They're going to put it on display at the LA Coliseum.
• 8:59
  NASCAR right now. And I forgot to tell you this.
• 9:02
  They've been to Japan and the Japanese, and I bet Toyota's
• 9:07
  involved in this. They're smart people.
• 9:10
  They're they're favoring the hydrogen combustion engine, and
• 9:13
  it sounds more like a motor is what they say.
• 9:17
  This is a way for NASCAR to stay up to date on technology.
• 9:22
  I don't think NASCAR wants to get stuck in the dust anymore.
• 9:26
  We ran the carburetors way too long, and here's why.
• 9:30
  Because every single vehicle you buy right now does not have a
• 9:33
  carburetor on it. All right, well, listen, I think
• 9:36
  that's it. Respond right here.
• 9:40
  The electric vehicle is a dog and pony show.
• 9:42
  That's OK And let's watch it out there at the LA Coliseum.
• 9:48
  All right, everybody. I think I did pretty good under
• 9:51
  10 minutes. Remember, we are in podcast
• 9:54
  form. We're on iTunes or in Spotify
• 9:58
  until the next Kenny Wallace show.
• 9:59
  We'll see you next time.
