• 0:00
  Holy moly or moly. I can't even talk right now.
• 0:06
  My heart is pounding. Man oh man, what a what a race.
• 0:12
  I mean, do we change the playoffs now?
• 0:15
  Do we change the playoffs? What do we do?
• 0:18
  All four cars lined UP1234 All four championship contenders
• 0:26
  lined up. With 30 laps to go, Denny Hamlin
• 0:30
  has a 2 1/2 second lead and William Byron blows a right
• 0:34
  front tire with three or four laps to go.
• 0:37
  Brings out the caution. Me and my wife are like, well,
• 0:42
  what happens now? I said Kim, Denny Hamlin has got
• 0:45
  to take 2 tires. He's got to take 2 tires.
• 0:49
  When I watched Denny Hamlin take 4 tires, my face is hot right
• 0:56
  now. I'm burning.
• 0:58
  Unbelievable. When I watched any Hamlet take 4
• 1:00
  tires I said why what what and there it is.
• 1:05
  Kyle Larson is your two time cup champion.
• 1:09
  He took 4 tires. You don't give a great race car
• 1:13
  driver like Kyle Larson 2 tires and traffic.
• 1:18
  So there it is race fans. I mean what a race.
• 1:24
  I'm speechless but not really respond right here.
• 1:28
  Do you want the playoffs change now?
• 1:31
  I mean, after what we watch, we have Mark Martin rolling up up
• 1:35
  the driveway here in a couple of days.
• 1:37
  Mark, the kid, Mark is going to be rolling up the driveway here
• 1:40
  in a couple of days. What's Mark going to say?
• 1:43
  I mean, do we want to go back to, you know, just normal points
• 1:48
  after what we just watched that was through the roof?
• 1:54
  Once again, you got the four championship contenders lined
• 1:58
  UP1234 with 30 laps to go, 1 blows a tire, caution comes out,
• 2:04
  two towers, 4 towers. The decision that had to be made
• 2:09
  or made so quickly. I mean, I can guarantee you Kyle
• 2:14
  Larson is shocked right now. He said, Oh my God, let's go.
• 2:18
  And poor Danny Hamlin, I'm just looking at him right now.
• 2:21
  He he, he led all the laps, complete domination.
• 2:27
  And don't you know Denny Hamlin's crew chief?
• 2:29
  Denny Hamlin's crew chief has got listen, listen, I don't want
• 2:34
  to be the crew chief, but you just can't always go 4 tires.
• 2:38
  You know, you get in situations like that, you're, you're, it
• 2:43
  ain't even rolling the dice. You know, I wouldn't know who
• 2:46
  won the race, who won the race. Brett Keselowski, I don't even
• 2:51
  know who won the race. Respond right here.
• 2:55
  Denny Hamlin, they're showing him right now.
• 2:57
  He's white. He's just pure white.
• 3:00
  You got to give him. You got to give him room.
• 3:04
  OK, so now the decision has to be made.
• 3:08
  NASCAR's already made their decision.
• 3:10
  So let's be clear about that. We all know that NASCAR's
• 3:19
  already made their decision. They're going to announce
• 3:22
  probably around Tuesday or Wednesday what the points format
• 3:27
  is going to be next year. But but how do you beat this?
• 3:32
  Respond right here. Do you do you still want the
• 3:36
  playoffs changed after what we just watched right there?
• 3:39
  Just think about it. If we go back to normal
• 3:43
  playoffs, the champ, the championship would have already
• 3:45
  been given up. It would it had been over, you
• 3:48
  know, I don't know would it have been over right now?
• 3:50
  What what would the old Winston Cup points look like?
• 3:53
  So this is your chance right now to respond.
• 3:56
  What does your format, what is your new format for 2026 look
• 4:01
  like after we just watched that Denny Hamlin six wins on the
• 4:05
  year, Kyle Larson three wins on the year, but just gotten no, he
• 4:09
  didn't even win the race. See, look at that.
• 4:13
  Kyle Larson didn't even win the race.
• 4:16
  So that's the first time in history I think Kyle was third
• 4:23
  or fourth. Denny's 6.
• 4:26
  So your, your champion finished third or fourth.
• 4:29
  Kyle Larson is your champion. He finished third or fourth.
• 4:33
  What will Steve O'Donnell announce?
• 4:35
  Remember everybody, the banquet, the award ceremony is this
• 4:41
  Tuesday. I don't know if they announced
• 4:44
  it during the award ceremony, after the award ceremony, but
• 4:47
  what's it look like for you? I'm going to tell you what I
• 4:51
  think right now. I really think that we do what
• 4:57
  we did this year, what we do a three race, playoff, three
• 5:02
  races, and through those three races, if it still comes down to
• 5:07
  the last race, well then so be it.
• 5:11
  OK, So I'm going to give you all exact questions right now.
• 5:15
  Who wants to do what we did this year but have a three race
• 5:19
  playoff? Raise your hand.
• 5:21
  Who wants to do what the old school people want?
• 5:27
  Who wants to do a combination of the full year?
• 5:32
  Man, I just, I just still think you got to go to what we just
• 5:37
  did, except you've got to, you've got to have a three race
• 5:42
  playoff. What we just watched was one for
• 5:45
  the ages. Respond right here, name 1
• 5:49
  championship race that was more exciting than that.
• 5:53
  Tell me right here, I've asked you 2 questions already #1 is
• 5:58
  what championship format do you want?
• 6:01
  That was #1 #2 is name me one championship race that was
• 6:08
  better than that one. The only one I can think of
• 6:12
  right now was Atlanta when Alan Quickie stayed out, LED more
• 6:18
  laps than Bill Elliot and got that extra one or two bonus
• 6:21
  points. I think, I think Bill won.
• 6:26
  I think Bill won the race, but I think the extra bonus laps for
• 6:30
  leading the lap or leading the most laps for Quickie to me, I I
• 6:35
  just don't I don't think I've ever seen a championship race
• 6:38
  any more exciting than that. But I'll say this.
• 6:44
  Kyle Larson is a deserving champion.
• 6:47
  And no, all four were deserving because Denny Hamlin had six
• 6:51
  wins and and Bowman, not Bowman. Excuse me, my God, who's the 24?
• 6:59
  Can my got brain fade respond right here.
• 7:05
  All of them have three wins and then six.
• 7:07
  So they're they're all deserving.
• 7:09
  Byron. Excuse me.
• 7:11
  I get Bowman and Byron confused. Here's Denny's.
• 7:14
  They're going to do his interview right now.
• 7:16
  But you know, once again, six wins versus everybody else have
• 7:24
  three wins. I'm speechless.
• 7:28
  All right, I asked you 2 questions.
• 7:31
  I kept it simple. What's it look like next year?
• 7:35
  What, After what you just watched, what do you want next
• 7:38
  year? And tell me a championship
• 7:42
  battle that was better than that one.
• 7:45
  All right, everybody, until the next Kenny Waller show.
• 7:49
  I don't know what it's going to be.
• 7:53
  I think you're bitching has come to an end, everybody.
• 7:56
  Thanksgiving's up next Christmas, New Year's.
• 8:00
  NASCAR's over everybody. I know that we all love to
• 8:04
  complain, and I bicker back and forth with you.
• 8:09
  I'll leave you with this. I love you all more than you
• 8:11
  love me. But when you get on social media
• 8:16
  and you throw a brick at me, I'm throwing a block back.
• 8:20
  But I do love you all and we've had a good time and we'll
• 8:23
  continue to bicker back and forth.
• 8:25
  But no, I love you. But if you come at me, I'm
• 8:29
  coming back at you because we're having a good time.
• 8:32
  All right, everybody, we got Herman Schrader tomorrow.
• 8:38
  We got some Kenny conversations come up.
• 8:40
  Herman Schrader will still be going, but we'll take a couple
• 8:43
  weeks off. All right, once again, until the
• 8:46
  next Kenny Wallace show. We'll see you next time.
• 8:49
  Everybody, don't forget those two questions.
• 8:51
  Don't forget those two questions.
• 8:53
  What do you want the format to look like?
• 8:56
  And name me one championship race that was better than that
• 8:59
  one.
