Dale Earnhardt Jr. Does Nothing Half Way | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:03
  Happy Sunday morning, everybody. I'm tired.
• 0:10
  I'm damn wore out. OK, so I told you all that I was
• 0:17
  going to go to Quincy today, but I've changed my mind.
• 0:21
  I'm not going to Quincy today. I'm exhausted.
• 0:28
  Years ago, Schrader said don't put a schedule out because if
• 0:33
  you don't go, they'll hold you to it.
• 0:39
  I think about that to this day and that's why I don't put a
• 0:42
  schedule out. However, I was adamant.
• 0:46
  I said Friday night I'm going to run Granite.
• 0:49
  Saturday I'm going to run Highlands.
• 0:51
  Sunday I'm going to run Quincy. Do you all ever have a grand
• 0:56
  plan? And then you get to the plan and
• 0:59
  you go, what the hell is I thinking?
• 1:03
  That's where I'm at. So we've had a great weekend.
• 1:09
  We run second at Granite on Friday night.
• 1:12
  But boy, the the car had some issues.
• 1:15
  So I spent all day Saturday working on the car.
• 1:19
  Put a new radiator in, fix the left side door, get all the
• 1:23
  maintenance, you know, loaded it up and went over to Highland and
• 1:29
  run 7th. And I just, I'm just tired.
• 1:35
  You know, there, there's people that give you wisdom and they
• 1:38
  don't, they don't know they're giving it to you.
• 1:41
  But Kenny Schrader, he won. So a lot of people want to know
• 1:48
  about me and Schrader. So they, they don't understand.
• 1:52
  Kenny Schrader runs what's called AB Mod.
• 1:55
  Really good class actually. His class has got more cars in
• 1:59
  it. In my class he's, you know,
• 2:01
  they'll usually have 30, we'll usually have 20.
• 2:04
  So Kenny runs AB Mod looks just like my car.
• 2:09
  So hopefully that straightens that out a little bit.
• 2:12
  He won his division on Friday night.
• 2:17
  Now, the reason I bring this up is Schrader.
• 2:20
  Schrader's got it going on right now and I'm learning, Schrader
• 2:25
  says. Going to run Friday night at
• 2:28
  Granite City. Saturday, going to go watch the
• 2:32
  World of Outlaws. I love that.
• 2:36
  So in other words, he raced on Friday night and Saturday.
• 2:40
  Schrader's not going to race. He's going to go watch the World
• 2:43
  of Outlaws. I'll be damned.
• 2:47
  I'm learning, Herman. What?
• 2:52
  You don't got to race all the in time.
• 2:57
  Wow, what a new concept. So I love everybody at Quincy.
• 3:05
  Please accept my apologies. But I'm just, I'm wore out.
• 3:10
  I'm tired. So today we're going to stay
• 3:13
  home. And here's another reason why.
• 3:18
  I've had 25 people come up to me and say why aren't you in
• 3:23
  Sturgis? I thought you were going to
• 3:25
  Sturgis. I'm like, you know, Sturgis is 2
• 3:28
  weeks long. I don't go to Sturgis for two
• 3:30
  weeks. I don't go to Sturgis for 14
• 3:34
  days. Sturgis is awesome.
• 3:38
  I'll be out of Sturgis Tuesday, so my plane leaves at 7:25 this
• 3:45
  Tuesday and I'll be out of Sturgis at 11:30.
• 3:48
  I land in Rapid City, SD Tuesday at 11:30, so I'll be out there
• 3:55
  Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
• 3:58
  So Friday is ride with Rusty. So go to ride with rusty.com and
• 4:08
  ride with us on Friday. Ride starts at 3:30.
• 4:13
  We leave Deadwood, we go about an hour, we go a beautiful
• 4:17
  circle, we go through Spearfish Canyon.
• 4:20
  You're going to love it. But my favorite part is just,
• 4:24
  you know, being in down in Deadwood and saying hi to
• 4:27
  everybody and then taking off. So, yeah.
• 4:32
  All right. That was a couple pieces of
• 4:33
  news, and I learned a lot. Reminds me of Mark Martin.
• 4:38
  Hey, Mark. Do you love racing?
• 4:41
  Yeah. Not every day.
• 4:45
  So I hope that clears everything up.
• 4:50
  Got to build my energy up and leaving for Sturgis on Tuesday
• 4:57
  morning. OK, something happened over the
• 5:03
  weekend that kind of caught me off guard.
• 5:07
  If you ever watch YouTube, there was this phenomenon started
• 5:13
  where people would do videos. And Mitchell Stapleton is a good
• 5:17
  friend of mine. And I would watch Mitchell's
• 5:20
  videos, wonderful videos, great NASCAR archives.
• 5:26
  Mitchell's videos, you know, can last from an hour to two hours,
• 5:32
  depending. But he'll get about 45 minutes
• 5:36
  into his videos and he'll say if you've made it this far.
• 5:41
  And that's great psychology because some, a lot of people
• 5:44
  are hyper. Even if you're not hyper, you're
• 5:47
  like, oh, I've watched 20 minutes of it.
• 5:49
  I'm tired of watching it. So yesterday something happened
• 5:54
  to me. Dale Earnhardt Junior made a big
• 5:58
  deal to the world about my coffee with Kenny that I did
• 6:04
  couple days ago where at the very end of the video, like at
• 6:09
  the 910 minute mark, you know, I said NASCAR wants to get their
• 6:18
  blue collar fans back. And it just caught me off guard.
• 6:22
  And then, you know, I said what I said, I I said, NASCAR, you
• 6:27
  need to apologize. You know, I said that's
• 6:29
  embarrassing saying that you need to gain some fans back.
• 6:34
  Well, anyway, that was at the very end of the video.
• 6:39
  Did you know Dale Earnhardt Junior watches my videos all the
• 6:42
  way through. He's he tells me I love you,
• 6:47
  Junior. I do.
• 6:48
  I truly love you. He's the real deal.
• 6:51
  I mean, he's a Dale Junior is an old soul.
• 6:55
  You know what an old soul is? He just does everything all the
• 7:00
  way through like, like he collects die cast and he's got
• 7:05
  an enormous collection of die cast.
• 7:09
  He sends emails. He, he told us on a on the Dale
• 7:13
  Junior download, he says that, you know, years ago I sent, you
• 7:17
  know, Mike Hilton, you know, an e-mail.
• 7:21
  You know, I, I sent him my thoughts.
• 7:25
  I've never thought about sending anybody my thoughts in a million
• 7:28
  years because I know people. It goes right in one ear and out
• 7:31
  the other. But but Dale Junior is an old
• 7:34
  soul. An old soul is, is a compliment.
• 7:39
  I'm bragging on him. But anyway, he listened to my
• 7:43
  video all the way through. How many of you listen all the
• 7:46
  way through? Do you get halfway through and
• 7:48
  you start tweaking, you know, because it's it's too long.
• 7:51
  It's too long. But but my people are of age.
• 7:56
  Most of my people are of age. They watch all the way through.
• 7:59
  Eddie Balkovic. But anyway, that big highlight
• 8:04
  that made World News about, you know, meet you and NASCAR's ass
• 8:10
  out, that was at the very end. So I'm quite impressed.
• 8:17
  OK, couple little particulars. Congratulations to our race
• 8:24
  track here, Federated Auto Parts Raceway Park.
• 8:27
  Last night. The World of Outlaws were there
• 8:30
  for the Iron Man 55. It's a race they run every year.
• 8:34
  World of Outlaws, Sprint cars, the World of Outlaws, they
• 8:39
  announced on X their social media account, they announced
• 8:44
  that they said largest crowd in Iron Man 55 history.
• 8:51
  One thing I've learned is they they usually don't want you to
• 8:55
  know that because they don't want you to know they're doing
• 8:58
  good. Promoters are always like that.
• 9:01
  You ask a promoter, hey, did you make any money?
• 9:03
  Aw, we broke even. Well, they're lying, but it's
• 9:06
  just a joke. Federated Auto Parts Raceway
• 9:10
  Park, It seats 7000 people. It's just common knowledge.
• 9:14
  Everybody knows it. When a track is around long
• 9:17
