Is NASCAR's In-Season Tournament a Gimmick? | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:00
  Happy Tuesday morning everybody. Tuesday that that reminds me of
• 0:11
  when Kim and I would go run ASA or NASCAR in Milwaukee, WI at
• 0:20
  the Milwaukee Mile. So Kim's family is from
• 0:25
  Milwaukee. You know, we go to The Dells.
• 0:28
  We love Wisconsin. We love everything about
• 0:31
  Wisconsin. One of my favorite things is how
• 0:36
  everything they say is tight. They don't say no.
• 0:40
  They say no. Yeah, they don't say too.
• 0:45
  They go too. So we go up there and race and,
• 0:53
  and you know, I'd have my truck and trailer 1980680788 course
• 0:59
  way before then in the 70s with Rusty when brother Rusty was
• 1:04
  running USAC. But I'd go up there when I
• 1:08
  started racing and Kim would go to her family, you know, like
• 1:12
  9:00 in the morning and by by 7:00 or 8:00 that night, I, I'd
• 1:18
  see her. We'd, you know, go to the hotel
• 1:20
  room and she go, oh, no, I said stop it, stop.
• 1:26
  She wouldn't be there 8 hours and she would already be.
• 1:29
  No. Yeah.
• 1:32
  So it's Tuesday. It's Tuesday.
• 1:36
  And that reminded me of the great cheese state.
• 1:41
  Hi, welcome to Wisconsin. Would you like some cheese?
• 1:45
  Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:47
  No, yeah, 2. All right, Got some breaking
• 1:56
  news in the garage area. Is this a gimmick or do you want
• 2:02
  to win $1,000,000? Hell, if it's a gimmick, you
• 2:07
  might as well try. So NASCAR's come out with TNT
• 2:14
  the the network. So now you know, OK, Fox Network
• 2:20
  is done this year, Prime Video is done and TNT is a new network
• 2:28
  and now they're starting. So TNT in conjunction with
• 2:34
  NASCAR and all the drivers, they got this real neat little video
• 2:40
  that came out and Blaney, Dave Blaney is the is the teacher and
• 2:48
  Blaney starts the video out. Hey, would you you guys like to,
• 2:52
  you know, do something really cool And all the drivers are
• 2:55
  like, yeah, you know, Josh Berry, Stenhouse and and it's
• 3:02
  really good. You're going to want to watch it
• 3:04
  because who is it? Josh Berry calls him Spenhaus
• 3:12
  and all you. Hey, that was a good one right
• 3:15
  there. That will play along with you.
• 3:17
  Now, the reason I like that is Josh Berry goes, hey, spin
• 3:21
  house, get it? He's playing off of all of you
• 3:26
  like I play off of you. So I take whatever you all are
• 3:30
  saying and I exaggerate it now my friends, that's real
• 3:35
  entertainment. So it's easily one of my
• 3:38
  favorite videos that NASCAR's already done because they will
• 3:43
  finally, NASCAR's finally left their guard down.
• 3:48
  Let's have fun with with the fans.
• 3:51
  So everybody knows you're going to call it a gimmick.
• 3:54
  They know that. They know you're going to call
• 3:57
  it a gimmick. However, a driver wins
• 4:02
  $1,000,000, but a fan wins $1,000,000 too.
• 4:06
  Now that's a gimmick you all can get behind.
• 4:10
  And you like to gamble. That's why gambling is the
• 4:16
  biggest thing there is in America.
• 4:19
  Did you know that every weekend my wife has an office?
• 4:26
  Oh, yeah, you know this. This is our home.
• 4:30
  This is our home. But my wife has an office.
• 4:34
  Every Friday she knows. And don't you test her.
• 4:38
  Don't challenge her. Every Friday my wife goes and
• 4:43
  pulls slots at her office and it's called River City Casino.
• 4:50
  Do you make money gambling? Please?
• 4:54
  Like Schrader says, some people go.
• 4:56
  How much money you spend on that racing?
• 4:59
  Schrader said. I don't know, I'm a scared dad
• 5:03
  it up. Hey Wallace, does your wife make
• 5:06
  money gambling? I don't think so, but when she
• 5:11
  wins, she won $2500 the other night.
• 5:16
  Brought home a damn tax form. She's awesome though.
• 5:19
  Did you know that about four years ago I blew a motor and I
• 5:23
  was bummed out. She won like 5 grand and she
• 5:28
  said here take all this money and go get yourself a motor.
• 5:33
  Now that's a badass wife. So both of us got in the truck
• 5:38
  because it was what was right, right when COVID happened and
• 5:43
  Chad Mullins couldn't get valves because he couldn't get valves
• 5:47
  because of whatever and couldn't rebuild me a motor.
• 5:53
  So Chad goes, hey, I know where there's a motor at.
• 5:57
  It's got a couple races on it. It's up around Kankakee.
• 6:03
  So my wife now, the motor was, I got a deal on it.
• 6:07
  The motor was $20,000. So Kim and I got in my my Toyota
• 6:14
  pickup truck and we drove up 4 hours up to can't keep with all
• 6:19
  my wife's money that she won gambling backed up.
• 6:23
  Put that motor in there. Hell you got a bonus.
• 6:26
  They gave me the carburetor with it.
• 6:30
  I got 2 motors right now and 1 is a Hoffman motor.
• 6:36
  Darrell Hoffman and the other one's a Mullins motor.
• 6:40
  Now how I got the two different motors, that's another story.
• 6:44
  But anyway, for all you gamblers out there, if you win any money,
• 6:50
  do something nice with it, like give it to me.
• 6:53
  You know, I for my tires and things like that.
• 6:59
  All right, so I'm happy to see NASCAR having fun with this
• 7:04
  gimmick. You know they beat you to the
• 7:07
  punch, didn't they? In season bracketing, they're
• 7:13
  going to bracket. It's going to be driver against
• 7:16
  driver. Look at the video, It's going to
• 7:18
  be driver against driver. The top 32 drivers, they're
• 7:24
  going to have a banner on their windshield, color coordinated.
• 7:29
  Let's say Blaney's going up against spin house, it'd be red
• 7:34
  banner, red banner, it might be green banner, green banner,
• 7:38
  might be white manner, white manner.
• 7:41
  Each show this red banner versus that red banner.
• 7:45
  That's for people that don't know who who it is.
• 7:48
  Hey, you never know, might get some new fans, might get some
• 7:52
  fans come in. Just try to win that $1,000,000
• 7:54
  bracket racing, Somebody said in the video.
• 7:58
  It's funny, like Denny Hamlin's bracket and Blandy goes, no, All
• 8:07
  right, I hope you enjoy this gimmick that you can make $1
• 8:13
  million. Have a great, have a great twos
• 8:18
  everybody.
