Latest / Kenny Wallace Media / My Take On Daytona 500 Qualifying | Kenny Wallace Show
Transcript
- 0:00Wednesday night, everybody, and the Daytona 500 qualifying is
- 0:06over, and I thought that we would talk about it.
- 0:09Respond right here, everybody. So how about that?
- 0:12Chase Briscoe on the pole, QuickTime.
- 0:17Chase Briscoe goes over there and takes over Martin Truex's
- 0:21car. It's a Toyota Toyota's very
- 0:25first pole. Pretty incredible.
- 0:28And then second joining him on the front row for the Daytona
- 0:32500 is Austin Cindrick. So Toyota spoiled the party
- 0:39because it was all Ford. Ford's got strong motors and the
- 0:43Ford's have to be the favorite for the Daytona 500 and maybe
- 0:48even these these twins coming up tomorrow or today, depending
- 0:54when you watch this. Now listen, I say one thing we
- 0:58got to pay attention to is handling, OK?
- 1:02We know we got speed tonight, right?
- 1:05But you know, what's the temperatures going to be for the
- 1:09twins and what's the temperatures going to be on
- 1:12Sunday for the Daytona 500? One thing experience tells me is
- 1:19that, yeah, you can set QuickTime, but how's that car
- 1:21going to handle? If it gets hot, it gets sunny.
- 1:25We've been seeing I, I just got back from Daytona and Ormond
- 1:29Beach running my Sunoco dirt car and we, we saw 8586°
- 1:35temperature. So it's cool tonight.
- 1:39Chase Briscoe on pole and Austin Sindrick in that Penske car.
- 1:44So we got Gibbs on the pole with Austin Sindrick, Rodger Penske,
- 1:49Team Penske front row outside with Austin Centric and how
- 1:54about Ryan Priest? He's up there course was with
- 1:58Joey Logano. You know, Logano had been on the
- 2:01pole for the Daytona 500 couple times too and he almost pulled
- 2:05it off. All right, so let's be clear,
- 2:10we're excited. But tonight only locks in the
- 2:13front row for the Daytona 500. So the front row was locked in.
- 2:20We know when we TuneIn for the Daytona 500, the front row is
- 2:24set no matter what they do in the twins.
- 2:27So you know it's going to be Chase, Brisco, Austin centric on
- 2:32the front row. They'll take the pictures.
- 2:35Now, the only way that they would have to go to the back of
- 2:39the pack for the start of the Daytona 500 is there's there's
- 2:46the look at there first Daytona 500 pole, first Daytona 500 pole
- 2:54for coach Joe Gibbs. Now, the only way, the only way
- 2:59that Chase Briscoe or or Austin Syndrich would have to go to the
- 3:04back is if they wrecked out in the twins and went to a backup
- 3:08car. That's the only way they would
- 3:10have to go to the back. OK, Martin Truex is locked into
- 3:20the race. Respond right here.
- 3:22Who is the other car? I think it's Jimmie Johnson,
- 3:25right? Is it Jimmie Johnson?
- 3:29But Martin Truex, who is retired, who did not miss a
- 3:34race, He is locked in. He was the fastest car, you
- 3:39know, with no charter. So Martin Trucks is locked in
- 3:44the Daytona 500 and I think Jimmy Johnson is the other one.
- 3:48I am shocked, literally shocked that Hendrick didn't really show
- 3:54up. This is the first year that
- 3:56Hendrick really hasn't showed up.
- 3:59Really shocked that Justin Algar did not lock in.
- 4:03He's way down there. So Justin Algar is going to have
- 4:06to race his way in to the Daytona 500.
- 4:11Now, I, I fully expect Justin Algar to race his way in the
- 4:15Daytona 500, but is the motor going to blow up?
- 4:20Will there be a bad pit stop? Will he get caught into an
- 4:23another wreck? So Justin's he'll be a bundle of
- 4:29nerves tonight. He'll eventually fall asleep.
- 4:33But you know, the way it goes, you'd rather just run those
- 4:36twins right now. If if I'm Justin Algar, I want
- 4:40the twin to start right now. So here is there he is.
- 4:45That's Austin Syndrick. I think he had a mustache for
- 4:51Bowman. Gray got rid of his mustache.
- 4:53How about Jamie Little? Jamie little.
- 4:55She's been on fox. She she loves the dog show.
- 5:00You have all things the dog show, right?
- 5:03Man, Fox covers that. Fox TV covers that dog show.
- 5:07And Jamie Little, she's all about those dog shows.
- 5:10So she's all over X and she's always talking about the dog
- 5:14show. So maybe she came from what?
- 5:16What is it? Westminster down to Daytona?
- 5:22I think that's it. Everybody.
- 5:23I don't believe there was any controversy.
- 5:27The only drama, the only drama tonight is, you know, after
- 5:32everything NASCAR is going through, the timing is just
- 5:36nuts. Like an hour before Daytona 500
- 5:41qualifying, they talk about the judge with the lawsuit.
- 5:49I mean, how crazy is this, right?
- 5:51It's like 5-6 at night. But they come out with this
- 5:55lawsuit story an hour and a half an hour before the Daytona 500.
- 6:02NASCAR is pissed. NASCAR made an appeal.
- 6:08They NASCAR does not like these teams, you know, gaining this
- 6:14injunction that they can operate as a charter team.
- 6:18NASCAR does not like those teams that appealed to operate as a
- 6:23charter. NASCAR don't like it.
- 6:25They appealed it. And here we are getting ready
- 6:28for the Daytona 500 on a Wednesday night and all of a
- 6:32sudden, Can you believe it? One hour before qualifying for
- 6:36the Daytona 500 on a Wednesday night, it's breaking news in the
- 6:40garage here. It's like it ain't pretty.
- 6:43I don't like that. I don't like this legal activity
- 6:47coming out just an hour before qualifying for the Daytona 500.
- 6:53I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it was like why?
- 7:00Why was this announced an hour before qualifying for the
- 7:03Daytona 500? OK, the other drama was here we
- 7:08are starting a new year and I turn it on FS1.
- 7:14I'm excited and a damn basketball games on her and you
- 7:18know there ain't but about 800 people watching that damn
- 7:22basketball game. My Lord, whatever.
- 7:28OK, whatever, I'm just maybe I'm maybe I'm a jerk off, but I just
- 7:35can't believe that they didn't go.
- 7:37OK, sorry, basketball game, but we're getting ready to qualify
- 7:41for the biggest race in America, stock car race.
- 7:45I hear you. I know the Indianapolis 500 is
- 7:49the biggest race, I get that. But still, we're getting ready
- 7:52to qualify for the biggest stock car race in America and and
- 7:58we're going to leave a damn basketball game on get it right.
- 8:03I mean that you saw Kim in the background.
- 8:06Kim's the type when she gets on the phone, she just starts
- 8:09walking, walking around the house.
- 8:11So I I think that was the drama, the lawsuit drama announced all
- 8:16over social media an hour before qualifying.
- 8:19And then everybody, all of us go to get ready to turn on turn on
- 8:23the FS1 and they're trying to send us over to FS2 or some damn
- 8:30app for a damn basketball game that you know, 800 people ain't
- 8:34watching. So I think that's it.
- 8:38Everyone respond right here. Daytona 500, the front rows
- 8:43locked in. Now we have the starting line up
- 8:46for the twin one 50s and that's going to be tomorrow night
- 8:52depending when you watch this Thursday night.
- 8:57All right, everybody, I believe that is it.
- 9:01I'm buying a little time here. I believe it was Jimmie Johnson
- 9:04right that locked in. So right now we've got there he
- 9:10is Chase Briscoe. Chase is a dirt racer.
- 9:17From where's he from? Brownstown IN Respond right
- 9:20here. QuickTime.
- 9:21All right, Here it is. Here it is right there.
- 9:25So bear with me for a minute. Bear with me for a minute here.
- 9:30Martin Truex is in the first duel and he starts 6th row
- 9:37outside. Oh, I forgot to tell you.
- 9:43Elio is going to take that 41st starting position.
- 9:48So there you see Justin Agar, 9th row inside.
- 9:53But I'm glad I kept going. I'm glad I bite a little time.
- 9:57Elio, if he does not race his way in on that twin 150, Elio
- 10:04will take the 41st and take that provisional.
- 10:08And that is drama downer. I listen to Elio right here on
- 10:12the Kenny Wallace show. OK, Yeah, it's going to be
- 10:17Jimmie Johnson. I believe it's going to be
- 10:20Jimmie Johnson with that provisional, from what I can
- 10:24see, he'll start row 7 was at 14th in the second duel.
- 10:30So that's good for Jimmy. But Elio, Elio said, look, I
- 10:34don't know much about it. I liked what Elio said though.
- 10:37Elio Castroneves says, look, if one of these one of these NASCAR
- 10:42guys comes to qualify for the Indy 500, they get a full month
- 10:46to get ready. He said, I, I get 50 minutes, I
- 10:50get 50 minutes. However, more and more drivers
- 10:54are coming out saying they don't like this.
- 10:57More and more NASCAR drivers are coming out saying they don't
- 11:01like this. World class provisional.
- 11:06So respond right here. Do you like the world class?
- 11:10I mean, we all like Elio, no doubt about that.
- 11:14We all like Elio. All right, everybody, I guess
- 11:17that's it. Respond right here.
- 11:18Just a little talk. Nice little 12 minutes.
- 11:23What else do you got? Respond right here.
- 11:25I think that's it. All right, we'll talk tomorrow
- 11:29as the NASCAR season has started.
- 11:33Guys feel so weird that I've, I've, I've been in Daytona for
- 11:36two weeks and I come back and I'm happy to be home though.
