  Happy Sunday Brody, what time is it?
• 0:09
  It's 1:10 in the afternoon. You're watching Lunch with
• 0:14
  Lenny. It's 110.
• 0:22
  I'm spent. I'm completely drained.
• 0:26
  I am making lunch with Lenny because Larry Hamilton, his son
• 0:31
  is Ryan. He finished 6th or 7th last
• 0:35
  night. Larry called me concerned about
• 0:38
  my health. My mother just called me wanting
• 0:43
  to know if I'm OK because she read that I will not be at
• 0:46
  Quincy Raceway today because I had a wreck last night.
• 0:51
  So first I want to first of all, I want to thank Brody.
• 0:55
  Brody was worried about me giving up because thank God he
• 1:00
  was with me last night and Brody right there, the man how old are
• 1:06
  you, Brody? I'm. 30. 30 30 years old and
• 1:12
  full of piss and vinegar. Man reminds me of myself.
• 1:15
  You cannot outwork Brody. Brody builds outlaw carts.
• 1:21
  Jesus, that is not dirt, that's calluses.
• 1:27
  Maybe with some dirt mixed in it, some driving so hard.
• 1:31
  So anyway, Brody has fusion carts, that's the name of his
• 1:36
  company, and he builds go karts and he was a great mod racer
• 1:41
  too. But he decided to give up and
• 1:44
  pursue his dream. And he builds outlaw carts.
• 1:47
  He's good at it, but he's also an animal.
• 1:51
  So after Larry Hamilton called me this morning wondering how
• 1:55
  I'm doing, my mother called me, worried about me.
• 1:58
  Brody unloaded my race car this morning 'cause he felt bad for
• 2:03
  me, 'cause they all watch me go to these race tracks by myself
• 2:09
  and they're like, what the fuck is he doing?
• 2:13
  My mother says, can hunt. Quit.
• 2:16
  Quit trying to prove things to yourself.
• 2:17
  I said, mom, I'm not trying to prove anything to anybody.
• 2:21
  I'm like a little old lady that gets her hair done every
• 2:25
  Wednesday. I said I have repetition.
• 2:28
  I'm I'm, I'm repetitious. It means I do the same shit over
• 2:32
  and over. I get up and to keep myself
• 2:35
  busy, I go to the shop and I work on my race car.
• 2:40
  So I'm making this video because Larry Hamilton called me last
• 2:44
  night. No, this morning my mom called
• 2:48
  me and Brody unloaded my race car for me, washed it, is ready
• 2:53
  to fix it for me. Help me fix it.
• 2:57
  So I thought, OK, everybody needs to hear a debrief on the
• 3:04
  wreck. It's no secret that the the
• 3:07
  track was really rough last night.
• 3:10
  And here's the worst part. And when I wrecked, Kenny
• 3:16
  Schrader was standing right there, the owner of the
• 3:19
  racetrack, he was kind of smiling at me.
• 3:22
  The fans were yelling, Kenny, Kenny, Kenny.
• 3:28
  I'm like, what in the world? The art of wrecking is a little
• 3:32
  weird for me. Whenever I wreck, people want to
• 3:36
  talk to me as if nothing happens.
• 3:38
  But when I wreck, it fucking pisses me off.
• 3:41
  I don't like wrecking. You can see it in my face.
• 3:45
  I despise wrecking, so when I wreck, I don't want nobody to
• 3:50
  talk to me because I'm pissed. I am pissed.
• 3:56
  So Schrader looks at me and he teases me and I and I know
• 4:03
  Schrader is good as anybody. He's like, but you were driving
• 4:06
  so beautifully. I bought flipped.
• 4:10
  I bought flipped. So anyway, then I got the corner
• 4:14
  worker in my ear, just the sweetheart of a guy.
• 4:20
  Are you OK? Are you OK?
• 4:22
  I said look at me, look at me, I'm OK.
• 4:26
  I'm pissed, OK? I'm pissed but I'm OK.
• 4:31
  You know it's like when you have a bad race in your wreck and
• 4:34
  that corner worker comes up to you and just asks you 8 times
• 4:37
  and it's his job, it's his job, are you OK?
• 4:41
  Yes, I'm OK. Then he asked me a third time.
• 4:44
  I finally grabbed him real nice, put my arm around him.
• 4:47
  I said look at me, look at me. I'm good.
• 4:51
  I'm fucking pissed, OK. And then over here, I got these
• 4:54
  kids, like 20 of them, Kenny, Kenny, Kenny.
• 4:58
  I'm like, OK, I'll put that fire out now.
• 5:00
  I turn around. I wave to them all.
• 5:03
  I waved to them all. I kept waving, hey, I'm happy.
• 5:06
  I just got done wrecking. I'm so happy.
• 5:09
  My car's wrecked. Yay high.
• 5:12
  I gave them the attention they were looking for because they
• 5:14
  love me and I know they love me, but I'm not in a good mood, so
• 5:18
  it's very hard to act like everything's OK and be happy to
• 5:22
  everybody. So I wrecked, but everybody's
• 5:25
  still happy because they weren't in the race.
• 5:28
  I'm an entertainer. So the kids, the kids calm down.
• 5:32
  They went back to their seats. Schrader, he calmed down.
• 5:37
  The corner worker calm down. And I thought I had the fuse put
• 5:41
  out. And then Bobby Biddle's wife or
• 5:45
  or Biddle, Biddle, Biddle's of an official.
• 5:48
  Now he'll see this Biddle. Biddle was a great race car
• 5:52
  driver. So his wife looked at me and
• 5:54
  goes, what happened? I'm like, I I wrecked.
• 5:57
  Honey had a bad wreck. Are you OK now?
• 6:02
  She fits right in with the corner worker.
• 6:04
  I'm like, yes, I'm fine. Well, as long as you're OK.
• 6:08
  I said, yeah, I'm. I'm good.
• 6:12
  So that is a look inside what it's like to wreck as a Kenny
• 6:19
  Wallace. So when other people wreck, they
• 6:21
  just wreck and everybody ignores them.
• 6:23
  But when I wreck, it is a fucking firestorm.
• 6:29
  So here's how the wreck happened.
• 6:35
  We're coming to the green flag, the 2nd place carved.
• 6:38
  Danny M's breaks the drive shaft.
• 6:41
  We all pile in. Of course, listen to this.
• 6:45
  There's there's nothing wrong with my car.
• 6:46
  But what happens is when I when I get hit in the ass by Steve
• 6:50
  Baku, it's it spins me. The track was so soft.
• 6:53
  My right front dug in and the top of these spindles are really
• 6:57
  weak and it broke the spindle off.
• 7:00
  That's all there was to it. If the spindle don't break, all
• 7:03
  I do is put a reverse back up and I finish the race.
• 7:08
  You would be amazed. We run Pinto spindles.
• 7:10
  It's very embarrassing. We race Pinto spindles off of a
• 7:14
  Pinto Pinto. By the way, I want to dress
• 7:17
  something. It's going to be OK for whoever
• 7:21
  goes. Kenny, please quit using the F
• 7:23
  word. I'm going to use it, OK?
• 7:26
  I'm going to use it right now because it's the way it is.
• 7:29
  All right. I'm a good man.
• 7:30
  I love the Lord. I pray to the I pray to the
• 7:33
  Lord, but I'm going to use the F word every great once in awhile
• 7:36
  in the places that need to be used.
• 7:38
  OK, so you're just going to have to forgive me.
• 7:42
  So anyway, when the wreck happens, I don't run in it.
• 7:45
  Nobody, I don't hit anybody. The nose is still perfect.
• 7:50
  It breaks the top of the spindle off.
• 7:52
  So now it looks violent because the tires laying off.
• 7:57
  If that don't happen, I put it reverse.
• 7:59
  I back up, I finish the race, then the corner worker gets
• 8:05
  ready to take the goat the the tow truck and grab my bumper and
• 8:11
  like, no, no, that bumper's for looks.
• 8:14
  It's not real. You can't hit people nowadays
• 8:17
  with a bumper. Nobody's bumper on a modified
• 8:20
  reel because if you hit somebody, it bends the clip.
• 8:23
  So he's going to hook up to my bumper.
• 8:26
  I'm like, no, no. So I, I hook it up myself as the
• 8:32
  kids are going Kenny, Kenny. So I'm hooking it up myself.
• 8:37
  Of course this is pissing the tow truck people off because I'm
• 8:41
  hooking it up and when they when they lift it up, it does destroy
• 8:46
  the nose, but it don't RIP the nose off.
• 8:51
  So anyway, by the time the time that the car gets back to the
• 8:58
  pit area and of course when I wreck, it's a big deal and
• 9:05
  everybody was very nice. There were no hecklers actually
• 9:09
  when we got back to the pit area.
• 9:11
  I want to thank Rick Canoyer's team, the blonde haired guy.
• 9:15
  He's always nice to me. Respond right here.
• 9:18
  Rick, what's his name? Rick watches everything and so
• 9:21
  does Tracy. But that long blonde haired guy
• 9:25
  with Conoyer, he's a sweetheart. I really like him.
• 9:28
  And so Brody fixes it. By the way, the rear quarter
• 9:33
  panels on these cars are called stacked.
• 9:36
  They are what if, What if material are those made out?
• 9:40
  I have no idea, it's some composite but you can hit it
• 9:42
  with a sledgehammer and it just pops right back out.
• 9:44
  Yeah, so. So when the tow truck picks you
• 9:48
  up, the quarter panels bend, but then they just come right back
• 9:51
  out. So I can see where everybody was
• 9:53
  worried about me this morning. It was a shit show.
• 9:56
  It was a shit show, but everything's good.
• 10:02
  So where do we go from here? Well, we washed the car.
• 10:08
  Brody's kind of Brody was like, let's let's get ready to go.
• 10:13
  And I said, oh, the the racing gods.
• 10:16
  I said I had a bad race last night, a bad race last night.
• 10:19
  I said, I look, when Brody was fixing the car last night, I
• 10:23
  looked at Brody and went, I go into decompression mode when I
• 10:29
  have a bad wreck or something happens.
• 10:31
  I just get real quiet, real calm.
• 10:33
  I don't Rev my motor up. I don't run around in circles,
• 10:37
  just calm down. So anyway, everything is good.
• 10:43
  There is. And I'm honest when I say this,
• 10:48
  I'm just, we're going to, I'm going to go ahead and put
• 10:50
  everything new on the right front because I don't trust it.
• 10:54
  And, but everything is good and I feel like I need to give
• 11:01
  myself a couple days if to see if I'm going to run mod mania or
• 11:05
  not. I'm tired.
• 11:08
  And the reason I'm tired is because I tested the twin blade
• 11:13
  Willie's carburetor and I got home and I got to bed at 3:30 in
• 11:17
  the morning on Friday. And by the way, that that
• 11:19
  carburetor is a bad ass. Get ready.
• 11:21
  The show is coming out tomorrow, Monday.
• 11:25
  We're finally releasing Willie's carburetor.
• 11:29
  Oh, the lion just came up. Hey, Louis, watch out.
• 11:40
  All right, everybody. I'm good.
• 11:43
  I'm tired. That's all there is to it.
• 11:47
  And thank you, thank you. And thank you.
• 11:51
  Thank. You.
• 11:52
  You're. Awesome.
• 11:55
  All right, respond right here. Light me up with all your
• 11:59
  questions, Kenny. Kenny what?
