  They have been unbelievable. Off the charts.

  Crowd on feet. That's the new one.

  Crowd on feet, Nick Hoffman says.
• 0:29
  Man, we say that all the time around our shop.
• 0:32
  Crowd on feet. But boy course we raced on
• 0:37
  Thursday night, but last night I was at the Dome and we watched
• 0:42
  and wow, you talk about unbelievable racing.
• 0:46
  They the the new phrase, it rained inside the Dome.
• 0:53
  I love it. That means they watered the
• 0:56
  tracks so much, made the cars, you know, fast.
• 0:59
  And it was exciting. So that really did help the show
• 1:03
  last night. It was unbelievable.
• 1:06
  And we are going to do it, sadly tonight and that's it.
• 1:11
  But boy, we got a lot to do yet. Racing's going to start at 3:00
• 1:14
  tonight. I want to say that it's 8:15 and
• 1:22
  I see you all. You're just getting out of bed.
• 1:25
  Of course all you drunks are still sleeping.
• 1:28
  Or some of you feel so bad that you had to get out of bed
• 1:35
  because you feel so bad. I saw you all last night.
• 1:40
  You were having the best time of your life.
• 1:42
  And I'll say one thing about the Dome.
• 1:45
  It brings out the best I saw. What was it?
• 1:50
  Oh man, just 333 guys dressed up as pimps.
• 1:56
  He did. He.
• 1:56
  I saw three of you dressed up and you was having a good time.
• 2:00
  Then I saw another man. He was like in a little, you
• 2:05
  know, wheelchair, electrical wheelchair, like, and he had a
• 2:08
  big boom box. He was playing music.
• 2:10
  And man, I'll tell you what, it was awesome to see you all have
• 2:14
  such a great time. Obviously this Gateway Dirt
• 2:18
  Nationals is getting bigger and bigger.
• 2:21
  Listen, I'm. I'm just happy for the sport.
• 2:24
  Please forgive me for being happy for the sport, the
• 2:29
  totality of the sport. I don't care what it is, just
• 2:33
  racing, auto racing. So you know the Chili bowls
• 2:37
  coming up, that's the middle of January, that's going to be big
• 2:41
  crowd will be on feet at the Chili Bowl.
• 2:44
  I know a lot of, you know, full bodied racers or as you you open
• 2:49
  wheel racers say those taxi cab racers get it.
• 2:53
  If you race a full bodied car, you're a taxi cab racer.
• 2:57
  So big week in December, January.
• 3:00
  It just seems like racing just goes 24/7.
• 3:02
  Now offseason, When's that? Because they got it now with the
• 3:08
  Dome in December, Chilly Bowl in January, Volution February, see
• 3:14
  what I mean? Clarksville in March, you know,
• 3:19
  so I would say the only week that's kind of off a little bit,
• 3:22
  really March when you stop and think about it.
• 3:28
  So coffee with Kenny, right? Coffee with Kenny is my
• 3:34
  experiences. What, what did the Herminator
• 3:36
  experience? What do I have to tell you?
• 3:39
  So last night I'm sitting with this this man and I look over
• 3:45
  and boy, he's drinking these. I don't know what it was Crown
• 3:48
  and Coke, Jack and Coke. But by God he's on his about his
• 3:51
  third one and these babies are going down like water.
• 3:55
  And I'm like, oh boy, he's going, he's going to light up
• 3:57
  pretty soon. Sure enough, right on cue, he
• 4:03
  starts he's not a this man was nice and he was not heckling me.
• 4:08
  But boy, when people start, when we, when we start drinking, we
• 4:14
  become chatty. Kathy, when we start drinking,
• 4:19
  we start talking. This little boy, he meant well I
• 4:23
  think, but he did one of these deals with me.
• 4:28
  So. So how did you make it to
• 4:30
  NASCAR? I said, well, I said how old are
• 4:34
  you? He goes, I'm 38.
• 4:36
  I said, so you're 38. I said I'm 60.
• 4:40
  I said my first my first time in NASCAR was 1989.
• 4:45
  He's like, I was four years old. I said, well, that's why I
• 4:50
  really can't tell exactly how I made it to NASCAR, because it's
• 4:53
  a different game nowadays. No, no, no.
• 4:59
  How did you make it to NASCAR? How did you make it to NASCAR?
• 5:04
  And it dawned on me this, this little bitch is heckling me.
• 5:09
  He's heckling mouth. You know, I get a handful of
• 5:13
  these people, they they going to get me.
• 5:15
  They going to get me. I'm going to get him because,
• 5:18
  see, they're nice. But when they start drinking,
• 5:22
  they they going to get me. And it made me think, how did I
• 5:27
  make it to NASCAR? Kenny Wallace, how did you to
• 5:30
  make it to NASCAR? Well, he asked me about a fourth
• 5:32
  time. Come on, Wallace, how'd you make
• 5:35
  it to NASCAR? It dawned on me.
• 5:37
  I looked at him and I said, well, we built our own
• 5:41
  motherfuking race car. We built our own race car #36.
• 5:47
  Cox treated lumber and we put her on a trailer and we went to
• 5:51
  Daytona. He went like this and we sat
• 5:58
  QuickTime, ran 192.3 mph and I got lucky and I was on pole for
• 6:06
  my first NASCAR Xfinity race NASCAR Bush Series.
• 6:12
  Here we go again. It was the NASCAR Bush Series
• 6:16
  and it was the Nationwide Series.
• 6:17
  Now it's the Xfinity Series and I said we built our own race
• 6:22
  car, Wallace Racing. That's the, that's the sign up
• 6:27
  there at my shop right now. I took those letters down from
• 6:31
  like 1991 and and I've had them in my toolbox forever.
• 6:37
  So then I put them back up. So when you see my dirt shop now
• 6:41
  those Wallace Racing signs, that was from our very first race
• 6:45
  shop down in North Carolina. So made me think.
• 6:51
  But afterwards it dawned on me, this guy, this guy was 38 years
• 6:59
  old. He was from this new generation.
• 7:00
  He was trying to get me to say I I I took money and I I gave it
• 7:07
  to somebody and they they let me drive their car.
• 7:13
  This is why I told him. You know, when I told the guy,
• 7:17
  he asked me the 4th time, no walls.
• 7:19
  How did you make it to NASCAR? I'd like had it up to here.
• 7:25
  And I said, well, we built our own motherfuking race car,
• 7:29
  loaded it on a trailer, and we drove inside the Daytona Motor
• 7:34
  Speedway with my bread truck. You see pictures of that truck
• 7:39
  that was red. We painted it white, put Cox
• 7:44
  Tree lumber on it, took my ASA truck trailer.
• 7:49
  The big bread truck went to Daytona and set QuickTime.
• 7:53
  We finished 9th. We were running second and broke
• 7:57
  a vowel spring. But anyway, the old guy brought
• 8:00
  back memories and he kept trying to Heckle me a little bit.
• 8:05
  And so finally I just used reverse psychology.
• 8:07
  I said, I said, well, I'm going to go up here and sit by my
• 8:10
  daughter. I said thank you for being so
• 8:12
  nice to me. Whoa.
• 8:17
  Gets exhausting at times, everybody.
• 8:21
  Hey, it may be raining outside. It might be raining outside on
• 8:26
  this Saturday in Saint Louis, but it's sunny inside the Dome.
• 8:31
  We'll see you at 3:00. Racing kicks off at 3:00 today.
• 8:36
  Get your ass out of bed. Let's go.
