NASCAR Xfinity & Truck Drivers Have No Respect | Espresso With Max Papis · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:00
  Good morning and welcome to another Espresso with Max.
• 0:08
  Subject of today is continuation.
• 0:12
  What we talked yesterday and the lack of respect and the why we
• 0:19
  see some races like the Xfinity being a bit of a show.
• 0:27
  My personal opinion is that since NASCAR instituted the fact
• 0:32
  that the Cup guys cannot be really part or partially, you
• 0:37
  know, they have, they can only do X amount of races in, in the
• 0:41
  Xfinity, in the truck. All these young guys, they do
• 0:45
  not have their mentor anymore. Basically, one thing is racing
• 0:51
  against your peers. One thing is racing against Mark
• 0:54
  Martin, Kyle Bush, Danny Hamlin, name it.
• 1:01
  You know guys like that when I think people would have thought
• 1:06
  twice before making a mess like they did if they would have had
• 1:11
  those guys around because first of all, they got to erase them
• 1:14
  in the future. 2nd, I mean you wouldn't even think about the
• 1:22
  pissing off Kevin Harvick or Danny Hamlin for no reason.
• 1:28
  And I think that's to me one of the main reason why this younger
• 1:34
  guys, this younger racer, they don't have this mentorship
• 1:36
  anymore. The other one I bring it up to
• 1:41
  the fact that because the sport is so expensive, very few of the
• 1:46
  modern racer in the track Xfinity are still the Krafter
• 1:53
  model are still the Mark Martin model.
• 1:57
  You know where they've been working on their car.
• 1:59
  They came from not not much. Most of the young guys, they are
• 2:03
  great racers, you know, but they are they're just racers, you
• 2:09
  know, they not many of them, I'm sure they would know how to
• 2:13
  wrench on a car and stuff like that.
• 2:14
  Therefore, I don't think they really know what it means when
• 2:18
  you have to work on it, when you have to repair it, how much it
• 2:21
  cost, Does that has a fix? I don't think so.
• 2:25
  I mean, I, I don't think so. Things change in life now.
• 2:31
  It's a new generation, you know, the between it's all about, you
• 2:35
  know, being able to understand that that is not just you.
• 2:40
  There are other people on track and other people working, you
• 2:43
  know, and working on your car, putting everything together.
• 2:49
  And at the end, you know, when you decide to be the tough guy,
• 2:56
  you better win because otherwise you really look like you just
• 3:02
  mess it up. So this may take for this
• 3:08
  morning heading, you know to MPI right now.
• 3:14
  I was actually quick thanks. I was for the weekend at racing

  I will that was I was doing at NOLA, the final race of racing
• 3:40
  Prodigy where we selected some, you know where basically we've
• 3:47
  we found our prodigy Lawrence Horzing, a kid from a gamer that
• 3:53
  started they only put his butt in the car five times before
• 3:57
  that and now he's going to race for free in the P2 class.
