I Won & People Don't Like Me Because I'm Popular | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:00
  Happy Sunday morning, everybody. I am so happy right now because
• 0:08
  I love my girls. You know I'm a girl dad, right?
• 0:11
  Three girls, they rule the roof. They get whatever they want.
• 0:15
  You know why? Cuz they're awesome.
• 0:19
  So my oldest daughter, Brooke, who lives about 50 minutes away,
• 0:25
  her kids are here. And look at this.
• 0:29
  There's Brookie, my baby, and Ellie and Yodi and Lucy and
• 0:41
  Louis, the legend. You can tell it's early in the
• 0:46
  morning because none of them are yapping yet.
• 0:51
  But if they hear a pin drop, they will.
• 0:54
  Or if they hear the the bags crinkle like they're going to
• 0:57
  get something, I can't say the word because they'll go flying
• 1:00
  out. OK, I got all this to talk about
• 1:06
  today. I got a lot to talk about, a lot
• 1:08
  to get off my mind. And the first thing I want to
• 1:11
  say, I don't want you all to take wrong.
• 1:15
  I don't want you to take this wrong.
• 1:17
  But I got to get this off my chest.
• 1:21
  Kevin Harvick called me. Kevin Harvick called me.
• 1:26
  He said, Herman, I want you to be on Harvick Happy podcast.
• 1:32
  So when he asked me about the Talladega race, I told him all
• 1:37
  about it. OK, here's where I'm going with
• 1:40
  this. And I say this humbly, and I
• 1:42
  don't want you to take this the wrong way.
• 1:45
  There is a small group of people out there that are just jealous
• 1:50
  of me. They're mad at me because I'm
• 1:53
  popular and never won a Cup race.
• 1:57
  Wallace shouldn't be popular because he never won a Cup race.
• 2:02
  Well, first of all, it's none of my business what you think of
• 2:06
  me, and I can't help it. What do you, what do you want me
• 2:10
  to do? Tell all the fans not to like me
• 2:12
  because I never won a Cup race? There's so much to say about
• 2:17
  this subject, but I I'm not going to apologize for people
• 2:21
  liking me. That's how dumbed down that is.
• 2:25
  I just dumbed it down for you. Hey, Wallace, people like you.
• 2:29
  Now, I don't like you. And I can tell you this.
• 2:34
  If you judge people because they win, you'll be sorely
• 2:38
  disappointed. I told you all this a couple
• 2:41
  weeks ago. Be careful meeting your heroes.
• 2:46
  They'll disappoint you as far as me.
• 2:50
  I won't disappoint you because I'm the same all the time
• 2:54
  Sometimes. Just because people can drive in
• 2:58
  a circular rotation at a high rate of speed and get a
• 3:01
  checkered flag, it doesn't mean they can solve World Peace.
• 3:05
  So some of you hold your standards way too high.
• 3:08
  Oh, he can drive a car fast. Look at that.
• 3:11
  Hell, let's send him over to solve all wars.
• 3:13
  He can solve world. That's stupidest thing in the
• 3:16
  world. So all I can tell some of you
• 3:20
  that don't like me because I'm popular, you're going to have to
• 3:23
  get over it. I can't.
• 3:25
  I can't help it. And I'm not going to tell the
• 3:28
  fans to not like me, OK? I feel a lot better now.
• 3:34
  Had to get that off my chest. And the reason I said that,
• 3:39
  there's been a couple people jealous that Kevin Harvick asked
• 3:43
  me to come on his show, and Kevin Harvick asked me to tell
• 3:47
  the whole story. So not my fault.
• 3:50
  And I wasn't about the letting down because there's way more to
• 3:54
  the Talladega story than just me running second, which people are
• 3:59
  still texting me all through the night tonight.
• 4:02
  I woke up this morning. Hey, Herman.
• 4:04
  Man, that was a great story about Talladega.
• 4:06
  I can't help it, OK? It's not my fault it happened.
• 4:10
  And people asked me about it. So Kevin Harvick asked me about
• 4:14
  it. All right, that's it.
• 4:15
  I'm done. Doesn't bother me at all.
• 4:21
  Piss me right the off. Get over it.
• 4:27
  Look at there local news. Local news talking about.
• 4:34
  I don't even know who won the Xfinity race.
• 4:38
  Probably Connor Zillich. He wins every damn thing.
• 4:41
  Oh hey, by the way, Speaking of winning, I won last night the
• 4:46
  Herminator one big win 2 I had. I had to go at it with our local
• 4:52
  hero, that Rick Canoyer. He's a, he's a fast race car
• 4:56
  driver. I qualified third, won my heat
• 5:00
  race from 2nd and those son of a bitches rolled the dice,
• 5:04
  inverted the top three. So that put Canoyer on the pole,
• 5:08
  put me third. I got by him.
• 5:15
  I had. I had a really good hot rod.
• 5:17
  Oh, Eric, I'm a one. Well, lobby.
• 5:23
  Damn. You mean to tell me Connor
• 5:24
  Zillich lost her race? OK, the big story in the garage
• 5:33
  area. Take a sip of coffee.
• 5:38
  Big story in the garage area. Steve O'Donnell, who is the
• 5:42
  president of NASCAR, he's been, he's been on Dirty MO Media with
• 5:48
  Dale Junior and I encourage you all to go over and listen to it.
• 5:51
  It's really good stuff. He's the president of NASCAR.
• 5:55
  He's a good guy. He he said a couple things that
• 5:59
  I that I want to talk about. He said that for the All Star
• 6:05
  race next year at Dover. I thought to myself, man, Dover
• 6:11
  is an odd place. I just don't think there's
• 6:14
  enough excitement at Dover for an All Star race.
• 6:17
  But then again, I got to thinking about it all.
• 6:20
  The back straight away is a hotel, casino, a lot of fun.
• 6:24
  It's right there on the ocean and they got samples there.
• 6:29
  There's good restaurants there. So you know, Marcus Smith and
• 6:33
  those guys, they'll do a good job.
• 6:36
  Hell, you never know, they might have us there for trackside live
• 6:40
  too. So you'll have trackside live,
• 6:43
  You have the casino on the back straight away.
• 6:45
  You got the Air Force Base there.
• 6:47
  Dover's a little. Dover is a Little Big Town.
• 6:49
  Does that make sense? Little Big Town sounds like a
• 6:52
  country group. So here's what he said.
• 6:57
  He said we are going to make the All Star race a big deal.
• 7:02
  Five days before the race, NASCAR is going to tell the
• 7:07
  teams the rules. That way nobody can circumvent
• 7:11
  and get an advantage. Now that's what he said on Dirty
• 7:14
  MO Media with Dale Junior. So I think that's going to be
• 7:17
  awesome. I like that and they hear you,
• 7:21
  everybody and I've noticed you've all calmed down and that
• 7:24
  makes me happy NASCAR hears you. They're going to make the sport
• 7:28
  better next year and we've all talked about it.
• 7:31
  So it's not a deal. It's it's not a deal where we
• 7:36
  will see. We know they're going to do it
• 7:38
  because Steve Phelps or not Steve Phelps, Steve O'Donnell,
• 7:43
  Steve O'Donnell, the new president, he got all over dirty
• 7:46
  MO and he talked all about what next year's going to look like.
• 7:49
  It's going to be better. OK?
• 7:55
  This is a big one. Last night when I went to bed
• 8:00
  today at Vegas, the spotters are not allowed to talk about points
• 8:05
  and neither is the crew chief. They don't want happening.
• 8:10
  What's been happening? Don't you know our friend Mikey
• 8:14
  Waltrip? Don't you know his life would be
• 8:17
  a lot better right now if they didn't say, hey, Clint Boyer,
• 8:22
  does your arm itch? And we all know by now does your
• 8:26
  arm itch? That was code for spin out.
• 8:29
  Do something. Bring the caution out.
• 8:33
  Maybe if Mikey would have said, hey, are your tires getting old?
• 8:36
  Are your tires wearing out? Something not so silly.
• 8:40
  So that's one example. You know, NASCAR kicked that
• 8:45
  player out. And remember that you're put in
• 8:49
  Jeff Gordon. That's what started all this
• 8:50
  chaos of controlling the sport. Then, of course, hail melon.
• 8:57
  NASCAR does not want the drivers and everybody to know about
• 9:00
  points. So NASCAR held a meeting with
• 9:04
  the Spiders and they told the Spiders, do not relay
• 9:09
  information to your drivers. That's the new rule.
• 9:13
  Do not relay points information to your driver because here's
• 9:18
  what's happening. NASCAR can't control the drivers
• 9:22
  circumventing and controlling the outcome of a race.
• 9:28
  So it was a very nice article. I read it last night and NASCAR
• 9:32
  said we will be monitoring and they did last week.
• 9:36
  The spotter, the crew chief, nobody is allowed to tell the
• 9:40
  driver what the points look like because they don't want that
• 9:43
  driver influencing and doing stupid, you know, controlling
• 9:49
  the outcome of the race. We got so many team members now,
• 9:54
  all these teams. I think there's 15.
• 9:57
  I think Kenny Schrader said it right.
• 9:59
  There's only 15 car owners and 39 cars start to race.
• 10:04
  So if there's only 15 car owners and 39 cars start to race, that
• 10:10
  tells you how many team mates there are.
• 10:12
  And these team mates are pulling off shenanigans to get their guy
• 10:16
  in the playoffs. So no more telling the the
• 10:20
  drivers what the points are because they don't want them
• 10:23
  messing the system up. It hasn't rained here in years.
• 10:29
  All right, everybody respond right here.
• 10:33
  Tell me what you think. Are you mad at me because people
• 10:36
  like me? Stupidest thing ever heard.
• 10:41
  Get over it. I can't help it.
• 10:45
  And what do you think of the spotters and the crew chiefs not
• 10:48
  being able to say anything to their drivers about the point
• 10:52
  system? What do you think about Dover?
• 10:55
  Are you going to go to Dover? I think I'll be there for
• 10:57
  trackside live. We'll find out soon.
• 10:59
  My schedule for next year coming out soon.
• 11:04
  Have a great Sunday. And Oh my God, this is 11
• 11:08
  minutes. But it was good.
• 11:09
  Lot of topics.
