Breaking Down All of NASCAR's New Rules | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:00
  Happy Tuesday morning, everybody.
• 0:04
  Sweet daddy back in the house. Oh, boy.
• 0:08
  Louis the legend. I saw my daughter Brandy driving
• 0:12
  up the driveway just now. Oh, you know what she's bringing
• 0:16
  up? She's bringing the grandbaby
• 0:17
  Jade with us. Jade's not feeling good, so
• 0:21
  we're gonna watch Jade today, alright?
• 0:24
  Uh, I'm back from Italy. The snow was still on the ground
• 0:30
  and I bet one of my buddies I said I think that snow's still
• 0:34
  going to be there in February 20th.
• 0:38
  So we'll see. It's it's not February yet, but
• 0:41
  it's getting close. So how long?
• 0:43
  Look at her. That's the big pile right there.
• 0:46
  We got that big 810 inches of snow there a couple weeks ago
• 0:49
  and it's been colder than a well diggers.
• 0:51
  But Louie, I'm trying to do coffee with Kenny.
• 0:54
  Simmer down, Louis, It's Brandy. It's Brandy.
• 1:02
  All right. NASCAR news in the garage area,
• 1:06
  per Bob Pockras. NASCAR.
• 1:10
  They come out, they come out of dueling.
• 1:13
  Lots of news. This one here is going to make
• 1:16
  some of you mad. But I told you, hey, as did you
• 1:20
  see that I finally had Kenny conversation with Andy Petrie.
• 1:25
  Andy Petrie was the one that said, by God, we'll just debull
• 1:29
  this right now. All right, after Joey Logano
• 1:36
  winning his championship and you all cried.
• 1:40
  I don't like this championship. You know, we're going through
• 1:44
  the same thing with the NFL now. I see all the NFL fans, they
• 1:48
  hate NFL. The NFL fans are turning into
• 1:51
  you. I hate the NFL.
• 1:54
  It's rigged. They got these gimmicks.
• 1:59
  I, I saw that NFL stuff with the Chiefs winning.
• 2:03
  The fans sound identical to you guys now.
• 2:06
  It's hilarious. I'm going to make fun of it all
• 2:09
  the way up to the Super Bowl and after the Super Bowl.
• 2:12
  So, but I, I'll tell you right now, I'm going to, I'm going to
• 2:16
  go on the record. I'm going to go on the record.
• 2:18
  I don't care if I'm wrong or not.
• 2:20
  The Philadelphia Eagles will win the Super Bowl.
• 2:23
  Now I just feel that I, I just think they're strong.
• 2:27
  I just, I just think they're strong.
• 2:28
  You know, they, they took care. They took care of the Washington
• 2:32
  Redskins. The Eagles are strong.
• 2:35
  So I'm going to pick the Eagles to win the Super Bowl because
• 2:37
  I'm a badass. I just, I just put them right up
• 2:40
  there on the dashboard for y'all to see.
• 2:42
  All right now, I don't care who wins, but I think the
• 2:46
  Philadelphia Eagles are going to win.
• 2:47
  And I'm not saying that to spite.
• 2:50
  I'm not saying that to put on a show.
• 2:52
  I just think the eagles are strong right now.
• 2:54
  I they just they're just strong. OK, so with me chewing your ass
• 3:00
  out in a fun way, calm down, calm down.
• 3:03
  We're just having fun. I see y'all wiggling and all
• 3:06
  that right now, but you all are all the NFL fans are ask acting
• 3:12
  just like NASCAR fans now. I hate the NFL it's rigged.
• 3:18
  They got gimmicks. The the UPS are all for the
• 3:21
  Chiefs. So NASCAR came out breaking news
• 3:25
  in the garage area. They are not going to change the
• 3:30
  NASCAR point system whatsoever. And furthermore, NASCAR said if
• 3:36
  we do change the NASCAR point system, it will be so little
• 3:41
  that'll almost be unrecognizable.
• 3:44
  So I, I think that's a great move because you just can't
• 3:47
  NASCAR's change so much that it's hard to get a handle and
• 3:51
  even follow the sport. And I think I think that is an
• 3:54
  issue. I'm going to repeat that one
• 3:56
  because I think that one kind of flew over your head a little
• 3:59
  bit. NASCAR has got to stay the same
• 4:03
  for a little bit. They're changing so much it it's
• 4:06
  hard. It's hard to follow the sport.
• 4:08
  You're you're looking at your friends, me race car drivers are
• 4:11
  going what's the rule? You know, and so the NASCAR
• 4:15
  point system is not going to change.
• 4:18
  So I agree with that. I said it wouldn't so I'm right.
• 4:23
  I'd use one of my hands to pat my back, but I got I'm holding
• 4:27
  the phone. One I'm drinking coffee and the
• 4:29
  other speaking, drink coffee. Let's take a drink.
• 4:35
  NASCAR has turned into Oprah Winfrey.
• 4:39
  You get a provisional. You get a provisional.
• 4:43
  By the way, we're changing subjects right now.
• 4:46
  We're we're changing subjects right now.
• 4:52
  You get a provisional. You get a provisional.
• 4:55
  Now I'm going to tell you the two provisionals that NASCAR
• 4:57
  announced and I read this from Bob Pacras, Bob Pop crash
• 5:01
  reported this. Not me.
• 5:03
  I was in Italy, but it just did happen.
• 5:07
  NASCAR said that if you're a world class driver like Elio
• 5:14
  Castroneves, the oh, they chew that they'll chew your butt out
• 5:17
  if you don't say it right. It's not Helio Helio.
• 5:20
  It's it's Elio. You you don't go, you don't go
• 5:24
  Helio. It's Elio, like an E Elio.
• 5:31
  It's like when I went over to 80, like, you know, you say
• 5:34
  Modena, they go, no, it's a Modena.
• 5:36
  I say, well, then tell them to spell it that way because it
• 5:39
  says Modena. No, it's a Modena.
• 5:42
  I said, OK, so it's Elio. Elio gets a provisional because
• 5:49
  Justin Marks. He owns Track House Racing.
• 5:53
  He's all excited about this provisional If Elio does not
• 5:58
  qualify for the Daytona 500, Elio is considered a world class
• 6:04
  driver. So let let's say Max Verstappen.
• 6:07
  Here's another example. Let's say Max Verstappen runs
• 6:11
  Mexico City of Mexico, that's called Hermano Rodriguez.
• 6:16
  Let's say Max Verstappen shows up for the NASCAR Cup race at
• 6:21
  Hermano Rodriguez and there's no other world class driver.
• 6:26
  He's in the race. Max Verstappen is considered a
• 6:30
  world class driver and he would automatically be in the race if
• 6:33
  he didn't qualify. Good.
• 6:34
  Or a motor broke or some unforeseen circumstances because
• 6:39
  there's there's no testing. You're you're axing.
• 6:43
  Oh my God, can he get the shit out of your mouth?
• 6:46
  I'm jacked up on Mountain Dew. So you are asking Max
• 6:53
  Verstappen, who's never been in a NASCAR Next Gen. car, you're
• 6:57
  asking him to show up, no practice and jump right in the
• 7:00
  car and make the race. So that's where this come from.
• 7:04
  So if Max Verstappen does go to Hermano Rodriguez, he'll just
• 7:09
  automatically get a provisional. Now, if two world class drivers
• 7:15
  show up, it will be up to NASCAR to make the decision.
• 7:22
  That's going to be a good one. What happens if Elio and Max
• 7:25
  Verstappen show up and they both don't make it?
• 7:30
  Then NASCAR will make that decision on their own.
• 7:33
  All right, I've addressed the world class driver provisional.
• 7:37
  Remember, this is Oprah Winfrey. You get a provisional, you get a
• 7:41
  provisional. Now I want to drop this right in
• 7:43
  the middle before I go to the elite credential.
• 7:47
  That's the new provisional. If you have elite credentials,
• 7:52
  this falls under Martin Truex and Jimmie Johnson.
• 7:57
  That's an example. If Martin Truex and Jimmie
• 8:00
  Johnson show up at the Daytona 500 and both of them don't make
• 8:04
  the race, guess who still gets the provisional If they all miss
• 8:08
  the race? The world class driver does.
• 8:13
  So the guys that won all the NASCAR championships.
• 8:17
  I mean, these are scenarios now. Hopefully they don't happen
• 8:19
  because I do love NASCAR, but I'm just I'm making this is a
• 8:24
  little comedy. I'm making fun of NASCAR being
• 8:27
  Oprah Winfrey. You get a provisional, you get a
• 8:30
  provisional. Now I want to, I want to put
• 8:31
  this right in the middle here. I know why NASCAR is doing this,
• 8:35
  because we got no superstars. Let's be clear.
• 8:40
  Why is NASCAR giving out provisionals?
• 8:43
  Because we don't have any superstars and this is a way for
• 8:47
  NASCAR to make sure the superstars are in the race so we
• 8:50
  can promote them so TV can TV can start promoting Elio
• 8:56
  Castroneves right now because he's in he's in the Daytona 500.
• 9:00
  So I'm going to watch the Daytona 500 because Elio is
• 9:04
  going to be in the race. You get to Mexico City.
• 9:06
  I'm going to watch Mexico City because I know that Max
• 9:10
  Verstappen's in the race and I I think NASCAR just needs to make
• 9:15
  another rule. Only one world class driver per
• 9:18
  race or else you're going to force a NASCAR in a corner,
• 9:22
  you're going to make them choose which world class driver gets
• 9:26
  their provisional. Now I want to be clear that new
• 9:30
  provisional they just the second one is called a driver that has
• 9:34
  elite. Hey, I got an elite race car
• 9:38
  built by Nick Hoffman. So NASCAR says a driver, a
• 9:43
  NASCAR driver with elite credentials.
• 9:47
  So right now, those elite credentials that covers Jimmy
• 9:50
  Johnson and Martin Truich, 'cause they both retired, but
• 9:53
  they're both still going to race a little bit.
• 9:55
  They're going to wean their self off the sport like a little
• 9:58
  baby, wean the baby off the bottle.
• 10:01
  All right, everybody, now, I don't know what's going to
• 10:06
  happen. I know you all got questions,
• 10:09
  but I don't know what's going to happen if Max Verstappen, Elio
• 10:12
  Castroneves, Martin Truex, Jimmie Johnson, if they all show
• 10:16
  up at one place and all four missed the race, they start 40
• 10:21
  cars. OK, I'm going to leave you with
• 10:24
  this. Here's what you've been looking
• 10:26
  for when we go to Daytona. Right now for the Daytona 500,
• 10:30
  there's 36 charters. They're locked in the race.
• 10:33
  There's nine cars vying for four spots.
• 10:38
  They're going to start 40 cars. There's nine cars that are say,
• 10:42
  they say we're going. So it's going to be exciting.
• 10:44
  This will be back to the old days a little bit.
• 10:47
  So you know, you're, you're going to have nine cars going
• 10:51
  for four spots. So it's going to get juicy.
• 10:54
  It's going to be exciting. Qualifying's going to be back
• 10:57
  again. Oh, who's going to miss the
• 10:58
  race? Are they going to be if they
• 11:00
  miss the race, are they going to live underneath a bridge in a
• 11:02
  cardboard box? Human drama of athletic
• 11:06
  competition. All right, everybody, I broke it
• 11:11
  down. I told you about the point
• 11:13
  system is going to stay the same.
• 11:16
  I told you about the new elite provisional and I told you about
• 11:22
  the world class provisional, and I told you why NASCAR's doing
• 11:25
  this. They're doing it because they
• 11:27
  don't have any superstars and they got to make sure these
• 11:30
  superstars are locked in these races.
• 11:34
  Is it a gimmick? Is it a gimmick?
• 11:37
  Well, if you said it is, you'd be just like those NFL fans.
• 11:40
  I hate the NFL. They show.
• 11:44
  They show Taylor Swift, and that's a gimmick.
• 11:46
  I I'm not watching the Super Bowl because the Chiefs
• 11:50
  shouldn't be in it.
