  Happy Friday morning everybody. There it is, the brand new Mobil

  One Racing coffee mug. How about that, huh?

  Still has the legendary Coffee with Kenny logo.

  Yep, we made sure that, you know, we chose the logo that had
• 0:27
  racing on it. So get yours now.
• 0:31
  Last night, my middle daughter Brandy and myself and her
• 0:35
  daughter Jade, we went to work. We filled 56 orders from
• 0:42
  shopkennywallace.com and a lot of those were the Coffee with
• 0:47
  Kenny T-shirts. We had a wonderful time.
• 0:52
  So if you're a coffee mug collector like me, my cupboard
• 0:57
  is full of coffee mugs, even one from the Indianapolis Motor
• 1:01
  Speedway. Did you know that Doug Bowles
• 1:04
  sent me a coffee mug from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway?
• 1:08
  Yes, he did. That is the president of the
• 1:12
  Indianapolis Motor Speedway. So if you want to collect your
• 1:16
  coffee mugs, there it is. Mobil One, baby.
• 1:21
  The best oil in America. And of course, I run Zero 50
• 1:27
  Racing Oil in my mobile 1 dirt car.
• 1:31
  Whoa, it's still early in the morning.
• 1:35
  I can't. I can't scream too loud.

  this morning, 6:25 it's raining out.
• 1:53
  It's raining night in Saint Louis and it's raining all over
• 1:59
  the Midwest. They say it's supposed to quit
• 2:04
  around 10:00 today and fire back up around 3, so pay attention.
• 2:11
  I don't know if we're racing tonight in Brownstown, IL, but
• 2:16
  I'll be ready. I'll be ready.
• 2:18
  I'll load up, I'll be ready to go but with this rain all
• 2:22
  morning long and then them saying rains coming again around
• 2:25
  3, who knows. I just want the best.
• 2:30
  I want the best for the Brownstown Bullring in
• 2:33
  Brownstown, IL. Thought of something weird this
• 2:38
  morning that I wanted to share with all of you.
• 2:41
  I was hungry when I woke up and I thought to myself, I got done.
• 2:48
  I ate late last night. So I was, I was done eating at 8
• 2:52
  o'clock 8:00 PM last night, so 8910111212345610 hours.
• 3:11
  So you, you, you're done eating at 8:00.
• 3:15
  You wake up at six. That means you have not eaten
• 3:18
  for 10 hours. That's a lot.
• 3:22
  That's a long time to go with no food.
• 3:25
  Good thing you're sleeping. And they also say that.
• 3:29
  Look at look at the legend. Look at the legend up there
• 3:34
  growling like a tiger. And of course, Lucy, I see you
• 3:41
  hiding over there. I see you hiding over there that
• 3:47
  that blanket is oh, look at him. He really he want to get closer
• 3:51
  to the camera. Lucy loves that blanket.
• 3:56
  It's a really, really soft blanket and it's heavy.
• 3:58
  That's one of those. It's one of those blankets
• 4:00
  that's got most got like weight in it.
• 4:03
  You got one of them blankets. It's real heavy, real heavy
• 4:06
  blanket like weighs on you. All right, Talladega.
• 4:17
  Talladega. I got so much to say about that
• 4:20
  this week. You know Fox is doing a good
• 4:24
  job. Channel 2 News our our Fox
• 4:28
  affiliate here in Saint Louis has been promoting all the local
• 4:33
  news every day, every night all about Talladega and how
• 4:39
  Talladega has got the infield big old barn area where you can
• 4:43
  you know the race can be going on, but you can go to the
• 4:46
  infield and watch the race on big TV stream Hey respond right
• 4:54
  here. Talladega is 1 big ass party.
• 4:59
  People are going to Talladega and the race is going on, but
• 5:05
  they're partying in the infield the whole damn time.
• 5:09
  So much so that they've understood the psyche of all the
• 5:14
  fans. And we've been talking about
• 5:17
  this and people got their own reasons.
• 5:20
  But it's just wild to me when I go to watch the Cardinals play
• 5:25
  baseball or watch my, you know, Saint Louis Blues hockey, I'm
• 5:29
  sitting in the seat and I'm watching the game.
• 5:31
  Actually, I feel guilty. I feel like I'm cheating myself
• 5:35
  if I go and I don't watch what's happening.
• 5:40
  So I really feel like, you know, Ben Kennedy, he said that we're
• 5:46
  going to develop NASCAR races in to more of an event and that's
• 5:54
  what they're doing at Talladega. So you can go to Talladega and
• 5:59
  you got a choice. You can watch the race or you
• 6:02
  can just party behind the midway.
• 6:05
  They're going to have lots of stuff going on.
• 6:07
  Or you can go to the infield where they're going to be
• 6:10
  partying their ass off and they got that big old barn.
• 6:13
  Now tell me about it. Respond right here.
• 6:18
  I have some friends sending me pictures.
• 6:20
  They're in amazement. They'll they'll go to that big
• 6:24
  barn. I've it's really big.
• 6:25
  They showed it on TV this morning.
• 6:28
  The race will be going on and there'll be people in the barn
• 6:32
  drinking, watching the race on TV from inside the Talladega
• 6:36
  Speedway. What?
• 6:39
  Why am I thinking of Dumb and Dumber right now?
• 6:42
  Hey, let's go to Talladega and go to the infield and watch the
• 6:46
  race on TV. OK, fine with me.
• 6:50
  I'm not drawing conclusion. I'm not saying that's good or
• 6:54
  bad. I'm happier at the track.
• 6:56
  I'm just saying that's different.
• 6:58
  That's different. There it is.
• 7:06
  There's all the rain. See the rain coming right
• 7:08
  through bit lots of rain. We're racing right up there by
• 7:12
  Effingham. Yeah.
• 7:16
  So there's, I guess I'm just showing you.
• 7:19
  It's kind of like show and tell. You know, every year Talladega
• 7:27
  rolls around, they want to include me in it because of
• 7:32
  Earnhardt and myself coming from last to the front.
• 7:40
  One time a friend of mine said why do you guys always talk
• 7:45
  about Earnhardt? Somebody piped up and said,
• 7:49
  listen pal, you can't go wrong talking about an Earnhardt.
• 7:56
  So true. I've got so many great memories
• 7:59
  of Talladega, I rattled off. I guess I'm bragging on myself.
• 8:04
  I understood Talladega, of course.
• 8:06
  We all wrecked at Talladega. All of us wrecked.
• 8:10
  Nobody, you know, we talked about Darlington, the track
• 8:14
  that's too tough to tame, the lady in black.
• 8:17
  You ever noticed they don't got a really good nickname for
• 8:20
  Talladega? And we wreck all the time there.
• 8:25
  So kind of weird that we don't you know, And it's on a Indian
• 8:31
  burial ground. Talladaga, Talladaga, Talladaga
• 8:37
  daga daga daga. It's kind of like we got, you
• 8:41
  know, Merrimack Caverns and Onondaga Cave here in Missouri
• 8:47
  when I was a kid that used to have a big old wreck right here,
• 8:52
  big old wreck. Watch Channel 2 news.
• 8:57
  They show all the wrecks. But anyway, when I was a kid,
• 9:02
  they used to have this little deal.
• 9:04
  It would go, you know, commercial Unden daga, unden,
• 9:09
  daga, unden. You look up there.
• 9:11
  It was. You're like, hey, mom, let's go
• 9:12
  to unden daga, unden daga. Talladega needs to create
• 9:18
  something. I need to call.
• 9:20
  Is Russell Branham still in charge down there?
• 9:23
  I need to call them up, say, hey, we're missing something.
• 9:27
  Talladega is dangerous. It's dangerous.
• 9:30
  How come we don't have a lady in the black track?
• 9:33
  Too tough to tame. I love Talladega, though.
• 9:39
  It was good to me. All right, everybody have a
• 9:43
  great Friday. Remember, go to
• 9:44
  shopkennywallace.com. My daughter Brooke is coming

• 9:52

• 9:58
