• 0:00
  Happy Friday, everybody. The day after Thanksgiving, how
• 0:07
  are you feeling? Do you feel full?
• 0:14
  Are you full, Boy, I know I am. And it was a great Thanksgiving
• 0:19
  for me. All is good.
• 0:21
  All right, everybody. Yesterday it seemed like
• 0:26
  everybody was a little quiet. Everybody was thankful, but all
• 0:30
  of you are right back on your horse today and boy, you're
• 0:35
  riding hard. I woke up to people asking me
• 0:47
  read this. Is this what you think NASCAR
• 0:51
  has to change? There's a lady named Diana.
• 0:57
  She did a beautifully written piece.
• 1:02
  If I could change NASCAR, and I'm going to tell you what made
• 1:08
  me think about this coffee with Kenny is she wanted to change
• 1:12
  everything. It made my head spin.
• 1:17
  It made my head hurt. Respond right here.
• 1:22
  Everybody with all the drama and all the hurt, yes, hurt.
• 1:29
  There's a lot of people hurt right now because there's there
• 1:32
  is there is a lot of people that still love NASCAR now there
• 1:36
  there are people that enjoy talking bad about NASCAR, but
• 1:42
  there are a lot of people that love NASCAR.
• 1:46
  So my question to all of you is this is NASCAR so broke that we
• 1:54
  have to change everything. Do you want everything changed?
• 2:01
  Respond right here. Do you want the car changed?
• 2:08
  Do you want the points system changed?
• 2:11
  Do you want how you can watch the NASCAR race changed?
• 2:17
  Do you want practice changed? Do you want the racing changed?
• 2:24
  Because that's how much that has changed.
• 2:28
  Let's start like this. When you go to the races now,
• 2:34
  there's hardly any practice and and if there is practice, it
• 2:38
  lasts for not an hour. Do you want practice changed?
• 2:46
  Do you want qualifying changed? Because qualifying is different.
• 2:52
  Do you want the cars changed? Because the cars are totally
• 2:56
  different. The teams say right now that
• 3:00
  there's minimal adjustments you can make.
• 3:03
  However, the great teams, the powerhouse teams, they still
• 3:08
  rise to the top. Do you want the point structure
• 3:15
  change? Because the points are
• 3:17
  different? You see what I'm doing?
• 3:22
  Everything has changed. So do you want everything
• 3:28
  changed? That's the question.
• 3:32
  And this lady on the social media site X, she was wonderful
• 3:38
  and well presented. Made me wonder if it was really
• 3:43
  Diana. You know people have these fake
• 3:46
  accounts because she even addressed the cars in a
• 3:51
  engineering way that I wouldn't expect a beautiful lady to
• 3:55
  address. But I was very impressed and
• 4:00
  when I started reading it all I thought oh damn she wants the
• 4:04
  whole sport changed. Then it made me think, does the
• 4:08
  whole sport needs changed and can we change it overnight
• 4:15
  because it's going to be December here in a day or two?
• 4:20
  Do you want the whole sport change right now?
• 4:27
  Is it possible because NASCAR is so big that the TV contracts are
• 4:35
  already made-up, the time slots are already made-up?
• 4:40
  Can you simply change qualifying?
• 4:43
  Can you change practice right now?
• 4:46
  And what about the car, the car's built?
• 4:49
  Can you change the car in two months with this lawsuit going
• 4:55
  on? As we said, the lawsuit won't be
• 5:01
  over for years because whoever loses, they're going to appeal
• 5:05
  it. See what's going to happen is
• 5:09
  the lawsuit's going to happen, right?
• 5:10
  And then somebody's going to be found wrong or right and the
• 5:17
  people that are wrong, they're going to go, we are going to
• 5:19
  appeal it. We want to take it to a higher
• 5:21
  court. The hell that's going to go on
• 5:23
  for more months. Speaking of that, does it ever
• 5:28
  does it ever? It makes me wonder why can't
• 5:32
  they do just do things right now?
• 5:35
  Why do they got to take months off?
• 5:37
  Oh, we're going to appeal. That's going to take six more
• 5:39
  months, really. Half a year.
• 5:42
  Really. What are you doing?
• 5:44
  Well, we got to file the paperwork.
• 5:46
  Really. I think you're dragging your
• 5:48
  feet. And maybe there's that many
• 5:50
  lawsuits in America that, like me, I'd be handing the paper out
• 5:54
  and next week it'd be the next court.
• 5:56
  But no, everything you do nowadays is months and months.
• 6:00
  Aggravates the hell out of me. Then I want to talk about
• 6:09
  something Mark Martin said. You know, I do business deals
• 6:17
  with lots of other companies. A lot of you say, how did Kenny
• 6:24
  Wallace Media get so big? Well, you know, Kenny
• 6:30
  Conversation, we work with Dale Junior, you know, and Kenny
• 6:34
  Conversation lives on Dale Junior over there.
• 6:37
  But do you know it also lives on Racing America?
• 6:41
  So we just don't have Kenny conversation right here.
• 6:44
  We we sell it. We sell it to Dale Junior and
• 6:49
  their podcast, and then we also sell it over here to racing
• 6:53
  America. Now racing America doesn't air
• 6:57
  everyone. They're picky.
• 6:59
  They only want certain things. But for but Dale Junior's got it
• 7:03
  everywhere. So the Mark Martin Kenny
• 7:09
  conversation has come back up on Racing America and Racing
• 7:14
  America chose a segment that Mark Martin said that I want to
• 7:20
  ask you. He said, OK, the point system I
• 7:24
  want won't be as exciting and might not give you great TV
• 7:30
  viewership, but it will add legitimacy back.
• 7:36
  So Mark just wants real points back.
• 7:41
  So in ending, respond right here, do you want everything
• 7:48
  changed in NASCAR and that's the question on this Friday, or do
• 7:54
  you just want some things changed?
• 7:57
  All right, everybody have a great Friday.
