My Controversial Take on NASCAR vs Formula 1 · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:02
  Happy Sunday, everybody. 1:00 in the day here in St.
• 0:07
  Louis, MO, and I'm still in my pajamas.
• 0:12
  I have a raging debate and I need you all to help me because
• 0:15
  I don't understand. I need all of you to help me
• 0:19
  explain to me. Please help me because I don't
• 0:22
  understand. All right?
• 0:24
  I'm watching the Formula One race.
• 0:27
  Where's that Surfers Paradise? And it is packed standing room
• 0:35
  only. The the crowd is on their feet.
• 0:38
  They won't even sit down. So the Formula One race is
• 0:42
  standing room only. It's packed.
• 0:46
  But here's what confuses me and you all are way smarter than me.
• 0:50
  So explain this to me. In the Formula One race, one car
• 0:56
  comes by. I'm going to imitate it in real
• 0:58
  time. One car comes by every three to
• 1:08
  four seconds and the crowd's like and it's standing room only
• 1:15
  now I don't want you to get the wrong idea here.
• 1:18
  I think Formula One is awesome. I like Formula One.
• 1:22
  OK, I like Formula One, but I don't understand.
• 1:28
  There is 0 racing. They never battle for the lead.
• 1:34
  A car comes by every three to four seconds, but yet it's
• 1:37
  standing room only. They're sold out.
• 1:39
  Now let me explain why I'm bringing the subject up.
• 1:43
  Obviously we beat the subject to death.
• 1:48
  Yes we have. We beat it like a dead horse and
• 1:50
  I know that. But in America, you know, we run
• 1:55
  39 races 39 weeks. There's only 52 weeks in a year.
• 1:59
  And I listen, I get all this, I get all this.
• 2:02
  I understand it all. However, we have a sport over
• 2:08
  here and it's not so much NASCAR.
• 2:10
  It's a sport of talking badly of NASCAR there.
• 2:15
  From what I can tell, if you take zero to 10, there's about
• 2:20
  three people out of 10 that are very loud.
• 2:23
  I hate NASCAR. They don't.
• 2:25
  I don't like the gimmicks. I don't like stage racing.
• 2:29
  I'm sad the 90s are gone. I don't like Pocono.
• 2:33
  It's boring. So with all these reasons I hear
• 2:37
  those that those 30% of fans, right.
• 2:41
  My math tells me that 30% of the NASCAR fans hate NASCAR.
• 2:47
  But, but we all know they don't hate NASCAR.
• 2:51
  They enjoy talking bad about NASCAR.
• 2:53
  That's the difference. This is the sectional of the
• 2:57
  video. That's most important.
• 2:59
  They don't hate NASCAR. They like talking bad about
• 3:04
  NASCAR. OK, so those people say NASCAR's
• 3:10
  boring. I don't like the stage racing.
• 3:15
  I wanted to go back to the 90s, but that could never happen
• 3:18
  because your drivers are all gone.
• 3:20
  They're, you know, my brother Rusty's 60.
• 3:22
  He's going to be 68 years old here in a minute.
• 3:25
  Earnhardt's gone. Dale Junior's retired, Tony
• 3:27
  Stewart's racing NHA. You can't go back to the 90s.
• 3:32
  You can't make it like that because those days are over.
• 3:35
  Goodbye 1990s. They're gone.
• 3:38
  So if all that stuff you don't like about NASCAR, they're doing
• 3:43
  that times 10 in Formula One, they don't even race.
• 3:48
  But you're going to tell me it's all about the wealthy people.
• 3:51
  You you like the wealthiness, you like the engineering of the
• 3:54
  Formula One car. I love that Formula One car.
• 3:57
  So engineering minded. But yet you say you don't like
• 4:01
  NASCAR because they've changed the cars too much.
• 4:05
  But yet that's what they've done with the NASCAR race car.
• 4:08
  They went to 1 lug nut, they went to independent suspension.
• 4:12
  They've made this car more towards Formula One, so you have
• 4:18
  to make your mind up or respond right here.
• 4:22
  Are you in that 30% category? But explain to me now.
• 4:27
  I know, I know you're just going to argue with me, which is fine.
• 4:30
  And that's what I'm that's what I'm shooting for here.
• 4:32
  Come on, debate. Tell me why?
• 4:36
  Why can Formula One have a car go by every three to four
• 4:41
  seconds? And people love it, but there's
• 4:45
  30% say NASCAR's boring got too many gimmicks.
• 4:50
  But yet over in Formula One, if you bump into somebody.
• 4:56
  So did you know that in Formula One that make they make
• 5:00
  competition calls if a driver cuts another driver off, they
• 5:06
  suspend him for 30 seconds. They say we're going to dock in
• 5:10
  30 seconds because he chopped down on another driver's bonnet,
• 5:19
  Right. OK, So what I need you to
• 5:23
  respond right here is, are you like me?
• 5:25
  Sometimes. Are you a shit disturber?
• 5:28
  Are you a shit disturber? Respond right here.
• 5:30
  Say yes, I'm a shit disturber. And I proudly say it.
• 5:34
  All I'm trying to get out of this video is why do you talk so
• 5:40
  bad about something in your own country, right, America?
• 5:44
  Why do you talk so badly about it?
• 5:47
  But yeah, you brag on something that they do in in another
• 5:50
  country. That's no, I know for a fact
• 5:53
  Formula One racing is wonderful. I love it.
• 5:56
  But the competition is nowhere near as good as NASCAR.
• 6:00
  Come on, bullshit. You're no way.
• 6:05
  NASCAR is side by side, door handle to door handle.
• 6:08
  They're beating each other. They're it's competition.
• 6:11
  They're spinning each other out and in Formula One car goes
• 6:16
  there goes Max Verstappen. 5 seconds later there's Lewis
• 6:22
  Hamilton. This is unbelievable.
• 6:25
  I'm not believe Oh no. Look at the fight for the podium
• 6:31
  finish. People in America they say now
• 6:36
  respond right here. They say podium shouldn't even
• 6:39
  happen over here. It's all about the winner.
• 6:42
  Respond right here for you. Is it all about the winner?
• 6:46
  Only the winner counts. But over in other countries it's
• 6:50
  about the top three. Is it because of it's
• 6:54
  Earnhardt's number three? That's a joke.
• 6:57
  So over in Formula One. Now I'll say this, it is
• 7:03
  intriguing because Formula One races a lot less and they race
• 7:07
  in a different country. So if Formula One only came to
• 7:12
  America one time, but now they're running Circuit of the
• 7:16
  America, they're running Vegas, I think they're running Miami.
• 7:20
  Well, they only race three times in America where we race 39, we
• 7:25
  got the All Star race, you know we got the Bud Shootout and we
• 7:29
  just race our balls off. We race 24782 days a week.
• 7:34
  So explain to me. Remember now I like Formula One.
• 7:39
  I'm just trying to say they don't even race.
• 7:43
  They don't even race. But yet you'll complain that
• 7:45
  NASCAR. I don't like NASCAR.
• 7:48
  The racing's boring, but yet we're side by side door handle
• 7:52
  to door handle. So I know that's wrong.
• 7:55
  Respond right here. I brought this subject up on X
• 7:59
  and the reason I decided to make a a video so you could see my
• 8:03
  face. All right, everybody respond
• 8:05
  right here. Tell me why you think Formula
• 8:09
  One is so great and NASCAR is not.
• 8:12
  Now I want to be clear, 0. Let's take zero to 100.
• 8:16
  There's only 30 of you that talk out of both sides of the mouth,
• 8:20
  70%. What I've learned now is it's
• 8:22
  changed. 70% of the people love NASCAR.
• 8:26
  Now the viewership is up right around 4 million.
• 8:30
  The crowd is up 10%. So NASCAR's back.
• 8:32
  They're doing good. Respond right here.
• 8:34
  Why you think Formula One is so great when they don't even race?
• 8:39
  We get it. They look like airplanes.
• 8:41
  They're intriguing. But what?
• 8:43
  What do you want? So you don't You don't care
• 8:45
  about the race, you care about the cars.
• 8:48
  Respond right here.
