  Oh my God people oh Lord. So I've already been to the
• 0:09
  dermatologist but anyway I'm speechless.
• 0:18
  So I posted only on X the the payout from the Turkey Bowl at
• 0:28
  Springfield, MO and it was a really good payout.
• 0:32
  It was $6064.00 to win 3000 for a 2nd, 1500 for 1/3 and I run
• 0:39
  5th and I got $700.00 and and I have done this.
• 0:44
  I have posted pictures of payouts periodically through the
• 0:49
  years, not a lot, but periodically.
• 0:52
  And it amazes me some of the comments.
• 0:59
  So Kenny Schrader and myself, we're, we're getting ready to do
• 1:03
  Herman Schrader and I'll show you where we do it.
• 1:08
  This is my house, obviously. So anyway, so we'll do it right
• 1:14
  here, you know, and this is the background so everybody sees it.
• 1:19
  Got all my notes ready to go. So I worked very hard at it, but
• 1:26
  this is what it looks like. So anyway, there's Kim.
• 1:32
  Hi baby. So what I'm laughing at is I
• 1:40
  don't want to call people dumb asses.
• 1:44
  I won't she she says then then don't.
• 1:48
  But some of the comments I see people, they're like, but Kenny
• 1:53
  Wallace, you got Jags as a sponsor, so the fans are mad
• 1:59
  that I didn't make enough money. No, that's what it really is.
• 2:08
  I won $700.00. That's the way it is.
• 2:11
  It's always been that way. Whenever there is a big dirt
• 2:15
  race, 2nd place is always going to be 50 to 60% less.
• 2:21
  So if it if it pays 3000 to win, for example, if it pays 3000 to
• 2:28
  win, it's going to be 13 to 1500 per second.
• 2:33
  That's dirt racing. You don't race dirt.
• 2:38
  Kim, do we make money running dirt?
• 2:39
  No. What?
• 2:41
  No. Come here.
• 2:42
  Tell them that. No, you don't put your beautiful
• 2:44
  face down here. Come on, Just a little bit of
• 2:48
  time I can't get down. Explain, explain, explain.
• 2:51
  People dirt racing. It's a.
• 2:54
  Hobby for some they might try to make money but it's hard.
• 2:59
  Yeah, it's hard. We're fine.
• 3:03
  Everybody there are there's some of these people on there like
• 3:07
  did they did they give you free pit passes?
• 3:10
  No, Paid for my pit passes, $40. So what you do is everybody,
• 3:18
  even the kid that I interviewed, did you know that kid was very
• 3:21
  famous. I never knew it that I just got
• 3:23
  lucky. That was I think Wendell
• 3:25
  Wallace's grandkid and then he's also related to Jeff and Peyton
• 3:30
  Taylor. But anyway, that kid right there
• 3:33
  had a lot of decals on his car and he knows one thing that I
• 3:37
  learned afterwards, everybody, Jeff Taylor, Peyton Taylor, they
• 3:40
  all called me. Larry Shaw called me, so he had
• 3:44
  an asphalt paving company that decal on the front nose.
• 3:48
  People. Where in the hell do you think
• 3:51
  local racing? You make money.
• 3:53
  I'm glad I'm doing this to learn you all a lesson.
• 3:58
  Dammit, Herman, learn us. But some of you are so cocky you
• 4:02
  act like you don't even do this. I do it.
• 4:05
  That's another thing that makes me laugh.
• 4:07
  I do this stuff and I do it myself.
• 4:11
  I got my own checkbook, make my own money and I work on I, I do
• 4:15
  everything myself, drive the truck and trailer, unload it
• 4:19
  myself, I race it and then I look on here and you all are
• 4:23
  telling me how to do it. So it's the same as NASCAR and a
• 4:29
  lot of you don't understand that.
• 4:33
  We use racing as a platform, OK? And then we get sponsorship and
• 4:39
  you put that money on the car and that's how you pay for
• 4:42
  everything. You'll hear you have to win to
• 4:48
  make a dent in anything. Eat these dirt.
• 4:51
  Super late Model racers, Jonathan Davenport, Ricky
• 4:57
  Thornton, These guys, they don't own their teams, so they don't
• 5:01
  pay for the motors. They don't pay for anything.
• 5:05
  They get a percentage for driving the car.
• 5:09
  That's how they make it. OK.
• 5:12
  So it it it you guys, I'm laughing because you're so
• 5:17
  cocky. You're like, you're like Herman,
• 5:20
  here's the way you do it, right? Like you got here.
• 5:22
  But then when you see me in real you, you don't talk like that.
• 5:30
  So even in NASCAR, OK, Rodger Penske, he buys the building, he
• 5:37
  buys the cars, he buys the motors.
• 5:40
  Then you get sponsorship and you take that money and you pay for
• 5:45
  everything. You could win the Daytona 500
• 5:50
  and you're not going to pay. There's lots of different
• 5:53
  divisions of money. When you win NASCAR races,
• 5:56
  there's what you call the purse and and that's what NASCAR gives
• 6:01
  you from the people in the grandstands.
• 6:03
  That's the they call that the purse.
• 6:06
  So that's that. Then second is TV money.
• 6:10
  Then there's TV money, then they share the TV money.
• 6:14
  Then they got the charter system money.
• 6:16
  It's kind of like the union. Oh, you're going to race with
• 6:19
  us, are you? Then we'll give you this if you
• 6:21
  run every week and you sign up, and if we ask you to do
• 6:25
  appearances, you do appearances to help promote the sport.
• 6:29
  So in NASCAR, that's the way it is.
• 6:31
  There's three different ways. So keep on making your dumb ass
• 6:38
  comments. It's funny for me because it
• 6:41
  gives me great content to watch you all talk.
• 6:48
  Silly Herman. They gave you everything free,
• 6:52
  right? Because you're Kenny Wallace.
• 6:55
  What's wrong with some of you people?
• 6:58
  I drove my ass right up there, paid $40.00 for my pit pass,
• 7:04
  pulled the cash out right in front of everybody, paid for my
• 7:07
  pit pass, paid my $125.00 entry fee, then went back and unloaded
• 7:13
  my race car and and everybody watched me and Brendan Willard
• 7:18
  come up and he said, you really are by yourself, aren't you
• 7:22
  Herman? I'm like, Yep, it shocks people.
• 7:28
  So I get I guess this is a 2 tier coffee with Kenny.
• 7:32
  You don't know what you're talking about.
• 7:35
  And I do everything myself and I make my own money.
• 7:41
  Now I know you enjoy counting my money, which is fine.
• 7:45
  That's fine. You can count my money.
• 7:48
  So I've explained it to you. Are you pissed now that I put
• 7:52
  you in your place and now you're going to come back at me?
• 7:56
  So come on. Because it makes for good
• 7:59
  content.
