  Happy Wednesday morning everybody.
• 0:04
  I am up at 5:30 AMI have no idea why but here I am in all my
• 0:13
  glory. Remember now I-55 Federated Auto
• 0:20
  Parts Raceway Park, March 19th, 2020.
• 0:24
  First, it's a Mods Gone wild $5000 to win.
• 0:31
  All right, deep breath everybody.
• 0:35
  This is going to be a tough one, but I'm up for the challenge.
• 0:41
  Natalie Decker and all the ladies.
• 0:46
  I've been challenged and I said I got this, I can do it, no
• 0:50
  problem. Before we talk about the lady
• 0:54
  racers, I want you all to know that I am a girl dad.
• 0:59
  I have three wonderful, smart, intelligent daughters.
• 1:03
  Brooke, who is a dental hygienist, Brandy who's a
• 1:08
  cosmetologist, and my youngest 1.
• 1:11
  Brittany who works for Lowe's Home Improvement.
• 1:14
  Of course, I'm married to my beautiful wife Kim.
• 1:17
  I met Kim in high school. We've been married all my years.
• 1:25
  OK, first thing, the top two lady racers in America.
• 1:34
  No doubt in my mind, the fastest two lady racers #1 Jade
• 1:41
  Adodesian. I've watched Jade and open wheel
• 1:44
  midgets. I've had her on Kenny
• 1:46
  conversation. Go check it out.
• 1:50
  Go over there to Kenny Wallace YouTube Jade Evanesian great
• 1:54
  interview with her number two. No doubt in my mind, Kaylee
• 1:59
  Bryson. I've had her on Kenny
• 2:02
  conversation. Kaylee is the unsung really fast
• 2:07
  one out of all of them. She runs sports cars, she's
• 2:12
  raced the Sprint cars on asphalt.
• 2:16
  She knows what it's like to go real fast, pulling a lot of GS,
• 2:19
  and she wins. Now, there's a lot of other
• 2:23
  great lady racers, you know, they're all out there, but those
• 2:28
  are the two that I know are winners and they're fast.
• 2:33
  I've interviewed a lot of the ladies on Kenny Conversation,
• 2:37
  Danica Patrick, Hayley Deegan, Natalie Decker, Jay Davidisian
• 2:45
  and of course, Kaylee Bryson. So I guess she could say I'm a
• 2:49
  girl dad. I've interviewed all the ladies
• 2:52
  and I have a heart that's important.
• 2:55
  Sometimes I'm like a diamond. I'm a little rough around the
• 2:58
  edges, but I mean well, OK, let's go at it.
• 3:05
  The Natalie Decker drama from my point of view.
• 3:11
  I've told you all forever that I watch, I read, and then I talk
• 3:16
  about it. So I've watched all this drama
• 3:19
  go on and Natalie Decker, from my point of view, this is been
• 3:26
  like a snowball effect. She does 1 little thing and it
• 3:30
  just starts getting bigger and bigger and I'm like whoa, time
• 3:34
  out everybody, time out. Let me tell you the whole
• 3:39
  Natalie Decker deal, the way it went down.
• 3:41
  I'm going to tell you the storyline.
• 3:44
  I'm going to tell you the storyline.
• 3:49
  I met Natalie Decker, I think in Marshalltown, Wisconsin, the
• 3:55
  Dick Trickle 99. It was 333 lappers and when I do
• 4:01
  Kenny conversation with Natalie, we talk about it.
• 4:04
  What I remember was I was trying to pass Natalie Decker up there
• 4:09
  at Marshalltown and I think that's where it was.
• 4:13
  Respond right here if I don't got it right.
• 4:16
  I won one of the 33 lappers though.
• 4:20
  That's important for me to tell you.
• 4:23
  OK, so I'm, I'm behind Natalie and I'm like, I don't know, it's
• 4:26
  a girl. And I'm like, man, this person
• 4:29
  is loose coming off at turn 2 and she was driving the heck out
• 4:32
  of it. Loose, loose and finally got by
• 4:35
  or got up underneath and come to find out it was Natalie, little
• 4:39
  bitty old girl. Well, I met her.
• 4:44
  I met her mom, I met her dad and wonderful people.
• 4:48
  So that was, I don't know, 10 years ago.
• 4:52
  Now let's Fast forward. That's what I know about her.
• 4:56
  I know she can drive a race car. I know Natalie Decker last year
• 5:01
  finished like top 15 maybe in the July race at Daytona.
• 5:08
  So as far as her wrecking out of all the Daytona races, yeah, she
• 5:13
  she might have wrecked, but not all of them.
• 5:16
  Google it. Let me know.
• 5:17
  Where did Natalie Decker finish last year?
• 5:20
  I think it was the July race. OK, let's follow this storyline.
• 5:27
  Let's follow the bouncing ball. She gets all her own sponsors.
• 5:32
  She cannot race all the time because she's funding all this
• 5:37
  herself. So this this lady, this young
• 5:40
  lady is funding all this herself.
• 5:43
  So she cannot race every week. So she's got a sponsor and she
• 5:49
  goes down to Daytona. She's excited.
• 5:52
  She's got her husband, she's got her baby.
• 5:55
  That is important. What other lady racer has a
• 5:58
  baby? None of them.
• 6:02
  Natalie Decker is the only lady racer with a baby.
• 6:06
  She's still just trying to race. She takes her baby with her
• 6:09
  everywhere she goes. I follow her on Instagram, just
• 6:13
  like I follow Jade Avidizian, Taylor Rhymer, Kaylee Bryce, and
• 6:18
  I follow them all. So she goes to Daytona.
• 6:24
  She's got this sponsor and she's trying to promote it.
• 6:26
  So she goes on one of these morning talk shows.
• 6:29
  I believe it's radio, it could be TV.
• 6:32
  Respond right here. So she gets matched up with this
• 6:37
  comedian that is known for taking his shirt off.
• 6:43
  So to my surprise, Natalie takes her fire suit, her top down and
• 6:53
  there she is in in her bikini top.
• 6:56
  Now it was shocking, but if it would have been October and
• 7:02
  Ladies breast cancer awareness month, she got away with it with
• 7:06
  no problem. So that's that's number one.
• 7:10
  OK, she she's promoting her sponsor.
• 7:13
  She sees no harm in this because she's with a comedian.
• 7:18
  That part of his skit is no shirt on.
• 7:22
  And you can clearly tell they're having a lot of fun.
• 7:25
  But I will admit, it made me go, whoa.
• 7:29
  So all right, no drama. Like I said, if it would have
• 7:33
  been October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, she had got
• 7:36
  away with it. All right, now let's get into
• 7:39
  the race, number one. Number two, I mean, number one
• 7:44
  was, you know, the morning talk show #2 she makes the race that
• 7:49
  that's big right there. She makes the race #3 she's
• 7:55
  minding her own business. She wants to 1st finish so she
• 8:01
  can finish first, right? So she's running towards the
• 8:05
  back, letting them all wreck, and then she's going to attack
• 8:09
  at the end. That's what Natalie does.
• 8:11
  She wants to finish because the teams that she's with, they're
• 8:15
  not the big teams. They're good little teams, but
• 8:17
  they're not big teams. So she's running along in this
• 8:22
  race and she's doing her own deal back there.
• 8:25
  And they have a catastrophic huge wreck up there.
• 8:29
  And her spotter is clearly saying, come on, stay high, stay
• 8:32
  high. And Sam Mayer is on the bottom
• 8:36
  and he's going along after he gets done wrecking and he's just
• 8:41
  running the bottom now he has, he can't see because the hood's
• 8:45
  up on the windshield. She gets right to the wreck and
• 8:49
  she's doing fine. And Sam Mayer, because he's
• 8:53
  wrecked up, he turns a dead right, not a little bit of a
• 8:57
  right, like whoa, like he's just going along and and he runs into
• 9:02
  her. She didn't run into him because
• 9:06
  she's in her lane and Sam Merritt runs right into her.
• 9:12
  Devastates this girl. This is devastating to Natalie
• 9:16
  because she doesn't get to race all the time and she put all
• 9:19
  this sponsorship work together. So she gets on her radio and she
• 9:27
  cusses up a firestorm. Now, I don't know about you, but
• 9:31
  if you have ever met Danica Patrick or Hayley Deegan or any
• 9:36
  of these girls, most of them are like my Mama said, dynamite
• 9:42
  comes in small packages. Natalie's a a little lady, but
• 9:47
  boy, she, she cussed up and down.
• 9:50
  And it's sad to say, but when you're on these radios, you
• 9:54
  think you're doing all this yourself.
• 9:56
  Come to find out all the reporters, all they just, they
• 10:00
  just ate it up. They reported how she MF and she
• 10:04
  was upset about the wreck. That's number three.
• 10:10
  Now she gets to the infield care center and she does a great job.
• 10:14
  She composes herself, she's got her collar up and she wants to
• 10:19
  thank her sponsor. She's it's a bummer.
• 10:22
  She's highly disappointed. End of story.
• 10:28
  End of story. Until Monday after the Daytona
• 10:36
  500. And everybody gets a hold of it
• 10:39
  and they just like, like a dog getting a hold of a rat just
• 10:49
  shook this Natalie Decker apart. Just trying to destroy her.
• 10:57
  And I'm like, this is unreal. This is devastating.
• 11:01
  So they all just start piling on, piling on, piling on.
• 11:06
  Natalie, you're going to watch this.
• 11:10
  As my Mama would say, this too shall soon pass.
• 11:16
  Dust it off. Dust it off and go to Pocono,
• 11:19
  your next sponsored race. Because I remember racing you at
• 11:24
  Marshalltown and I remember you running, what, 15th, something
• 11:29
  like that at Daytona. Shame on all of you.
• 11:36
  You know that's a human being, right?
• 11:38
  And you know, when she was on her radio, she wasn't talking to
• 11:40
  you. She was just talking to her
• 11:42
  team. And as far as her pulling her
• 11:45
  fire suit now, and I'm sure if she had to take it back, she
• 11:48
  would. But like I said, if it would
• 11:50
  have been October, Breast Cancer awareness Month, it had been
• 11:53
  just fine. And she was with a comedian, and
• 11:56
  that's what his act was. All right, everybody have a
• 12:04
  great Wednesday.
