Saturday morning, I'm going to call this the day after.
0:09
In the background, you're going to hear Chance, which is my
0:14
youngest daughter, Brittany. It's her dog.
0:17
Chance is upset that she can't get to her mom by Brittany.
0:22
They're having a baby shower behind me up at, you know, the
0:26
home side of my race shop. So if you hear a lot of barking,
0:30
that's chance. Come get me mommy.
0:33
Come get me mommy. OK, The elephant in the room,
0:40
I'm going to address it. As everybody knows by now,
0:44
people have been texting me all morning.
0:48
There is a aviation report that has come out on the late, great
0:53
Scott Bloomquist. Listen, I'm not going to say it,
0:57
OK? I'm not going to say it because
0:59
I'm not a news man. I'm not a journalist.
1:02
You see these hands? I'm an old redneck dirt racer.
1:06
All right, So I just found a little niche here.
1:10
Coffee with Kenny, the Kenny Waller show.
1:13
It's just us, right? Like I'm at a bar.
1:15
We just we just talk about what we see.
1:19
I do appreciate everybody sending me things and say,
1:22
Kenny, say something about this. What is your thought about this?
1:27
So before I give you my opinion, I want to let you know that I'm
1:31
not a journalist. It's just us guys.
1:34
Like we're at a bar and and I do enjoy doing it because it is
1:40
therapy for me. It is therapy for me because I
1:43
can get things off my chest. So you all are my therapist.
1:47
How how much do I owe you anyway?
1:52
It's out there. You find it on your own.
1:54
Don't ask me, don't ask me because it's not my place.
1:59
Everybody's been sending it to me.
2:01
There's an aviation report out there on the late, great Scott
2:07
Bloomquist. And it is, it is on Facebook.
2:10
It is very clear and everybody's watching it.
2:13
So it says what everybody's thinking.
2:18
What I can say is I had no idea that Scott was undergoing
2:22
treatment for prostate cancer, which is very curable.
2:27
But it's it, the report is an innuendo.
2:35
It's almost a book on what they feel like what happened.
2:39
So I think, I think everybody's kind of agreeing what they think
2:43
happened. I'm not going to say it because
2:47
it's not proven and it's a very, very, very, very tough subject
2:53
to talk about. OK, so I don't I don't want
2:58
people going. Hey, GC Wallace's coffee with
3:00
Kenny. Here's what he said.
3:02
So I'm not going to say it, but find it on your own.
3:07
I'm not going to be the one to go.
3:08
Hey, here it is. But it's it's on Facebook.
3:11
People been sending it to me. Scott Bloomquist had prostate
3:19
cancer. He was undergoing treatment and
3:22
drove the airplane right into the side of a barn.
3:27
So deep breath. This is the day after.
3:33
And man, yesterday, August 16th, man, I'm going to tell you what,
3:39
we've all had these voodoo days. August 16th was voodoo for me.
3:46
Here's why. Wake up, I'm laying in bed.
3:50
Kim goes Kenny, Brandy, our middle daughter, our middle
3:54
daughter. Brandy says Scott Bloomquist
3:57
just got killed in a plane wreck.
3:59
So I wake up the bat with a heavy heart.
4:03
So then I go racing and and I had a great night at the
4:06
racetrack. I run really good run second
4:10
again, I won second it. Listen, it really though has
4:15
been a great week so far. Second on Wednesday night,
4:18
second last night. When somebody gets killed by
4:22
Scott Bloomquist, you don't complain about second.
4:25
See, when somebody gets killed, you don't complain about second.
4:30
See, you, you, you become thankful for what you have.
4:36
So I'm headed to the racetrack last night and and this is what
4:44
was wild. OK, There's a wreck.
4:47
Oh, look, there's a wreck. But not for me.
4:49
It was way more than that. I come up over this Knoll.
4:54
The Knoll kind of a Knoll is a hill, a hill.
4:58
A Knoll is a hill KNOLLI guess I don't know, It kind of goes like
5:04
this. OK, well, there was a wreck.
5:07
There was a wreck and I posted it all on Facebook for all my
5:11
racing friends because that's really the only way to the
5:13
racetrack. Now.
5:14
There's other ways, but people ain't going to take it because
5:17
it two laners. So we're all going east on
5:21
Interstate 70 towards Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
5:26
So I in my Black Widow Dodge Ram, I come up over this Knoll
5:37
and as I'm getting right about here, there had been a wreck and
5:42
traffic was backed up three miles.
5:45
Well, when you come up over the node, people couldn't see, so
5:48
they started ass packing and I was the 1st to see it.
5:51
I was the very first vehicle. It was like a damn dream.
5:54
I'm like what the hell? What the good Lord looked out
5:59
after me. I had just enough space where I
6:01
cranked her down and shit was flying and all of a sudden this
6:10
tractor trailer, Big Blue tractor trailer, he turned left.
6:14
He had climbed up over a passenger car, which was our
6:17
local photographer. What was he lucky that right
6:21
front tire that that tractor trailer climbed up over that
6:25
left rear. And I put pictures all over
6:27
social media. That man was shocked.
6:30
And then that truck barely hit the back of a tractor trailer.
6:34
There was food everywhere. Then he flew over in the other
6:37
lane and jackknifed. So as I was showing all my
6:45
racing friends don't come this way.
6:46
I'm showing pictures. Helicopters start landing.
6:50
Helicopters start landing too. It was said to me that at least
6:58
one person died. Life is really weird.
7:02
So I start reporting this wreck and everybody starts joking all
7:06
big. You know, they, they literally
7:07
start joking. I'm like, I'm like, what don't
7:15
they see in this picture? All you had to do is zoom in and
7:17
see that there was two vans destroyed, a car, the whole acid
7:22
knocked off of it. So then it became, oh, God, you
7:26
know, so maybe I should turn this son of a bitch around and
7:28
go right back home. But I'm into psychology.
7:34
I'm a philosopher. So I said, Nope, pause the
7:36
mental attitude. Let's focus.
7:40
Hey, come here so I can show everybody.
7:41
Look, come here. Come here, chance.
7:44
Where are you at? Here he is it nut.
7:46
Hey, look, buddy. See, he like me.
7:48
He's wiring crazy. I love you.
7:51
I love you there. It's all good.
7:54
Mommy's at a baby shower. Let her chill out.
7:58
You separate. If you separate that dog from
8:02
from Brittany, that's what happens.
8:04
Goes ape shit. All right, So anyway, I was able
8:08
to focus. People kill me, though, man.
8:11
If you, if you don't, if you don't post something exactly
8:15
right. People are comedian are
8:19
comedians right away. So Bloomquist gets killed.
8:24
I watch people get killed in a wreck.
8:26
And I'm on my way to the racetrack.
8:28
I want to thank Josh Carroll and everybody at Brownstown.
8:31
They waited for about 10 of us race cars.
8:34
And so I got to bed about 1:30 in the morning and we're going
8:39
to head up to the shop here. I'm going to work around the
8:41
baby shower, the baby showers on the home side.
8:44
They're probably thinking look at Herman, old redneck washing
8:49
his dirty old tires. All right, everybody, we, we
8:52
overcame and prevailed a tough situation last night and all day
8:57
yesterday. Today's a new day.
9:02
I'm going to bring out an old one right now.
9:06
Your life will not change until you change your life and you say
9:15
to yourself, well, I where do I find the courage because I'm
9:19
Kenny Wallace motherfuckers. Oh God, IA perfect video and I
9:25
ruined at the end by cussing didn't mean any harm.
9:29
I never meant to make your daughter cry.
9:32
I apologize a trillion times. Sorry, Mr. Hang here.
