• 0:03
  Happy Wednesday morning everybody. 7:05 AM in the
• 0:10
  morning in Daytona Beach, FL Ormond Beach.
• 0:18
  As for you, Craiger. Alright everybody, what is it?
• 0:21
  What is a good time to do coffee with Kenny?
• 0:25
  You know, 705, That's 605 in Saint Louis, you know, then
• 0:30
  that's five O 5, then four O 5 out in Vegas.
• 0:35
  What's a good time? All I know is my ass is up.
• 0:39
  I'm up, all right? I've got to do something that I
• 0:48
  don't want to do, but I feel like I really need to do it for
• 0:52
  the dirt car racing community out of the Volusia Speedway.
• 0:56
  I've got a a lot of people coming up to my race car saying,
• 1:01
  Kenny, you got to say something. This ain't right.
• 1:05
  I'm like, oh Lord, you got Michael Long, our national
• 1:11
  champion from last year. His wife is on Facebook.
• 1:15
  His her name is Shannon. Shannon's on Facebook.
• 1:19
  Every night she goes, this is wrong.
• 1:21
  This format sucks, so leave it up to the Herminator to to
• 1:26
  debull the situation that's going on out at the Volusia
• 1:32
  Speedway this year. All right, I'm going to make
• 1:36
  this very simple and I'm just going to say it the way it is.
• 1:41
  So am I complaining about this? Absolutely not.
• 1:46
  Nope, I'm not complaining. However, there are a lot of
• 1:50
  people in the dirt racing world, maybe not your world, but
• 1:55
  they're wanting to know what the Hell's going on at Volusia this
• 1:58
  year. It's really weird.
• 2:00
  OK, so I'm going to tell you what's going on.
• 2:03
  All right? It's a numbers game.
• 2:05
  Now. Remember, I'm dumb.
• 2:08
  Kenny Wallace is dumb, and you're so smart.
• 2:10
  Remember how smart you are. So follow along.
• 2:15
  There are exactly like 103 race cars.
• 2:19
  It's a really good event. It has been a really good event.
• 2:23
  So let's just take 100 cars so we can make it even.
• 2:27
  There's 100 race cars out of Volusia in the dirt UMB modified
• 2:33
  division. So what they're doing this year,
• 2:37
  they said this year we're going to make it all about the cars
• 2:39
  that run slow. So all the slow cars, we are
• 2:44
  going to feed them a bone. If you're slow, you get to win
• 2:47
  the race and you get the same amount of money and you get a
• 2:51
  trophy and they announce that. It's like, what?
• 2:59
  So because of my popularity, Now, it pains me to say that,
• 3:06
  but because of my popularity, I'm never allowed to say
• 3:09
  anything. I'm usually never allowed to
• 3:10
  speak out. And I'm not speaking out.
• 3:13
  I'm just all these people, all these crew members and wives.
• 3:17
  And yeah, I done called it out. Michael Long, the national
• 3:21
  champion, his wife, Shannon, she's on Facebook every night.
• 3:25
  And then there you got Will Krupp's wife.
• 3:30
  She's been texting the leader. And then you got all the.
• 3:34
  Yeah, so everybody's complaining about it.
• 3:37
  All right, here we go. There's 100 cars.
• 3:41
  They split the field in half. It's called the A group and the
• 3:44
  B group. It's just random draw.
• 3:47
  So let's just take my group. OK, so the A group is one
• 3:54
  through 50 and they do their own deal.
• 3:56
  That's the way we've always done it.
• 3:57
  OK, so I was the B group last night.
• 4:00
  Well, I qualified against like 51 cars and I qualified 12th.
• 4:07
  I qualified 12th. But we're not going to talk
• 4:10
  about me. We're going to talk about
• 4:12
  Michael Long. That way it puts me out of the
• 4:15
  deal and that way you all don't go well, Wallace, you're
• 4:18
  wealthy. You should.
• 4:19
  You should be displaced because you're good.
• 4:23
  Hey, Wallace, since you're good, we don't want you being good
• 4:26
  'cause I understand that psychology.
• 4:29
  It's stupid because it promotes people that don't try as hard as
• 4:33
  the guys you know. Usually if you're good, you win.
• 4:37
  This is a case where it's not promoting that.
• 4:41
  They clearly said we want guys that are slow to win and it
• 4:45
  really freaked the whole garage area out.
• 4:47
  So all right, my 50, if you qualified 1st, 1st through 18th,
• 4:58
  that's how they lined you up. So Michael Long, Michael Long
• 5:03
  qualified 11th last night and he lined up 11th, 1234567891011.
• 5:14
  He, he started at 11th, he qualified 11th out of like 50
• 5:19
  cars. That's really good.
• 5:21
  Now, in all the previous years, in the 39 years that this has
• 5:26
  been going on, 11th usually mean you would start like second row
• 5:31
  outside or you know, because what you do is you take the car
• 5:36
  that qualified first, he'd be on the pole.
• 5:40
  A car that qualified second, he would be on the pole of his
• 5:43
  race. The guy that qualified third, he
• 5:45
  would be on the pole of his race, so on and so forth.
• 5:48
  So instead of Michael Long lining up second row, he started
• 5:54
  11th. OK, because it went 1-2, they
• 5:57
  put all the fast cars together, 1234567891011.
• 6:02
  You're thinking 11th is good. That's going to start you 2nd
• 6:06
  row. No, what they did listen to this
• 6:10
  it's so it's so bad that it's it's like what the so
• 6:16
  12345678910 like like to 17th 50 / 3.
• 6:22
  OK, So what they did is like the guy that qualifies 19th, he gets
• 6:28
  to start on the pole of his second feature.
• 6:35
  Now he qualifies 19th, he gets a start on the pole.
• 6:40
  And so the guy that's 19th fastest, he starts on the pole,
• 6:45
  he wins his race, he gets the same trophy and the same money.
• 6:50
  Now if that ain't funny enough, listen to this.
• 6:55
  You go back 19. The guy that qualified 36.
• 7:00
  Follow me. The guy that qualified 36 gets
• 7:06
  to start on the pole of his third race and he wins the race.
• 7:11
  He gets the same money and a trophy.
• 7:14
  Now, if you're if you qualified 37th and you run second, you get
• 7:24
  more points. It it is so bamboozled.
• 7:28
  So here's what here's the bottom line for everybody in America
• 7:32
  wanting to know what's going on in this division.
• 7:39
  Just it's, it's speechless. So you're seeing guys that are
• 7:45
  qualifying third, running third, and you're seeing guys
• 7:48
  qualifying 38th and they're running 38th and they're and
• 7:52
  they're like 6th and they're like 8th and 9th in the whole
• 7:55
  point system. So I did this for Michael Long
• 7:59
  and his wife Shannon. I hope you all enjoyed it.
• 8:02
  The headline of this is going to be when running slow is really
• 8:10
  good at volution. So I I did this for Michael Long
• 8:14
  and his wife Shannon. I hope you all like it.
• 8:17
  Respond right here and it and it's just the way it is.
• 8:22
  So we're going to keep on racing.
• 8:25
  We're going to load up, we're going to go home.
• 8:27
  I still have enjoyed myself massively.
• 8:31
  Hey, listen, I've had the time of my life down here, Volusia.
• 8:34
  And a big shout out to Nick Hoffman, Daryl Hoffman, Rhonda
• 8:38
  Hoffman. We are having the time of our
• 8:41
  life. All right, everybody, I listen,
• 8:44
  you don't got to respond. All I'm doing is I'm doing this
• 8:47
  for everybody. This this coffee with Kenny is
• 8:50
  for everybody at the Volusia Speedway that has been coming up
• 8:55
  to me and saying, Herman, you got to say something.
