Who's Right About The NASCAR Points System & TV: Jeff Burton or Mark Martin? | Coffee With Kenny · Kenny Wallace Media

• 0:00
  Yesterday, Tuesday, was a big day.
• 0:04
  The mayor, the mayor, Jeff Burton, went on a dirty MO and
• 0:11
  he was talking with those boys and he said TV don't have
• 0:16
  anything to do with NASCAR. They don't make any of the
• 0:20
  decisions. And the mayor said I know 'cause
• 0:24
  he says I'm in the meetings. Really.
• 0:30
  OK, maybe not NBC. I'm going to say that again.
• 0:36
  Maybe not NBC, but guess who worked for Fox Sports for 14
• 0:42
  years? Me, Moi.
• 0:48
  So, yeah, I mean, when you think about things like the LA
• 0:52
  Coliseum out there in LA, when we ran three years in a row out
• 0:57
  there, that was Fox Sports Dirt at Bristol.
• 1:04
  I mean, you know, listen, I love Jeff Burton.
• 1:09
  He is the man. Could never, ever go against
• 1:13
  him. But you know, there's a lot more
• 1:18
  to this than meets the eye. OK, then not just Jeff Burton.
• 1:23
  Yesterday was a big day. I don't know why, but then all
• 1:26
  of a sudden, Mark Martin has fired back up.
• 1:30
  Mark Martin. He includes me into everything I
• 1:33
  love. Mark.
• 1:34
  Hey, Mark's up there with Bentley Warren up there in New
• 1:37
  Hampshire right now. Bentley Warren, the legend.
• 1:40
  We will have Bentley Warren on Kenny conversation coming soon.
• 1:45
  Myself and Bentley have talked. Bentley's like, man, get a hold
• 1:50
  of my my girl. She knows how to set all that
• 1:53
  up. So I got her number and we'll
• 1:55
  get the great Bentley Warren, one of the greatest badasses of
• 2:00
  all time. He drove those, those modifieds
• 2:05
  up there at Oswego. Not a normal modified.
• 2:08
  I mean, these things are fire breathing, ground pounding, mind
• 2:12
  boggling. Bentley was brave, won a lot of
• 2:15
  races, and now he's a badass. Walks around and Boots got his
• 2:18
  hair up there in a bandana. He's a badass.
• 2:22
  Everybody loves Bentley, and Mark Martin and Bentley are good
• 2:25
  friends. They hang out out there in
• 2:27
  California during the summer. They got a little parking place
• 2:31
  out there, I think Palm Beach up there in Maine.
• 2:34
  They cover the whole damn United States.
• 2:37
  So Mark got fired up on Mountain Dew.
• 2:39
  Maybe he was on Sun Drop. Hey, which drink has more sugar,
• 2:45
  Sun Drop or Mountain Dew? Respond right here.
• 2:48
  Let me know. OK, let's break it all down,
• 2:51
  everybody. So Mark says Mark, Mark did not
• 2:58
  like me saying that he's got all of his old fans, that, that
• 3:02
  pissed Mark off. Everything Mark does, he says,
• 3:06
  Kenny Wallace says I got all the old fans, but no, my fans are
• 3:11
  young and I, I, I believe some of his fans are young.
• 3:14
  And here's why 'cause Mark's a rapper with no more drama in the
• 3:19
  LBC. It's kind of hard being Snoop DO
• 3:22
  double G but I somehow some way keep coming up with funky ass
• 3:28
  like every single day mate. Wallace can rap bitch, IE.
• 3:36
  So anyway, Mark is from Arkansas but he's a rapper and boy he
• 3:42
  loves Gucci Mane so he's up to date.
• 3:44
  And Mark? Mark stays young.
• 3:47
  Mark looks good. He's 100.
• 3:49
  Mark Martin 100 and 33138 lbs soaking mother wet and but he is
• 3:56
  pie pie. I would never with Mark Martin.
• 3:58
  He's got muscles out of this world as my Mama would say.
• 4:04
  Dynamite comes in small packages and Mark Martin is a small
• 4:10
  package. So Mark's just saying.
• 4:14
  Why is NASCAR ignoring my proof? I took a poll.
• 4:22
  Well, I'm going to take, I'm going to take a guess at that
• 4:25
  one Mark, Mark, we have 30 to 80,000 people that we poll.
• 4:32
  I'm just going to say 30 to 80,000.
• 4:35
  NASCAR's got like a real polling, not not like favor
• 4:39
  favorability polling, not like, hey, everybody on my side, let's
• 4:44
  take a poll. Well, Mark, it's like me taking
• 4:47
  a poll, you know, I mean, but Jeff Kluck's poll's pretty good.
• 4:52
  I mean, when you look at NASCAR's polling, it's going to
• 4:56
  be millions. It's going to be 1,000,000, not,
• 5:00
  you know, couple 30th eighty 9000 thousand.
• 5:04
  You know, it's going to be millions.
• 5:06
  And, and I, I do believe NASCAR spends a lot of money on real
• 5:11
  polling. And I do see, listen, I'm a
• 5:15
  lover, but Mark, I do believe that when NASCAR spends their
• 5:21
  money on real polling, that they see real polling.
• 5:25
  And there, there's a group of people out there that just they
• 5:28
  not, they not jacked up on 36 races.
• 5:32
  And, and I got to tell you, I talked to a lot of the NASCAR
• 5:35
  drivers, they truly don't give a flying.
• 5:38
  They're just like, I mean, you know, you look at Ross Chastain.
• 5:42
  I, I, I see a lot of drivers and they're like, man, just give us
• 5:46
  the rules. We don't, we don't care.
• 5:48
  But then you'll get some of the drivers, you know, like Brad
• 5:51
  Keselowski, Denny Hamlin, you know, you'll get the ACT.
• 5:54
  I call him activist. The activist, the ones that want
• 5:58
  to run the sport, you know, Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin, those
• 6:04
  guys, they want to run the sport.
• 6:06
  Well, hell, Brad Keselowski, he runs his race team.
• 6:11
  I'll never forget years ago the great Jack Roush.
• 6:16
  He said this about Jeff Burton. He says my driver Jeff Burton
• 6:22
  wants my job. He wants to run my race team,
• 6:25
  but but I'm not going to let him.
• 6:28
  True story. Hey, Jeff, I'll tag you in this.
• 6:30
  But you know, he said that so that there are a handful of
• 6:34
  drivers that want to run the sport, which is fine.
• 6:38
  He'll run it. I love it.
• 6:40
  But this is about why. Why is Mark?
• 6:47
  Mark says. Why is NASCAR ignoring my
• 6:49
  polling? It's young people.
• 6:51
  They want to go back 36 races. I'll meet you halfway, Mark.
• 6:55
  I would say you're right. And and I'm and I, like I said
• 7:00
  the other day, I'm gonna leave you all like this.
• 7:04
  NASCAR is going to change the championship points next year.
• 7:09
  This is the third time I said they going to run a 3 or 4 race
• 7:13
  playoff next year. It's going to be called the Mark
• 7:15
  Martin playoffs. I love you Mark.
• 7:23
  Hey, by the way, when's your ass coming up that hill?
• 7:26
  You come up that hill it get it's going to get cold out and
• 7:30
  we'll sit right here. Oh, we'll just sit on the couch
• 7:32
  and we'll put Matt and Arlene right there.
• 7:35
  Mark Martin's going to roll up this driveway and we're going to
• 7:39
  have Mark Martin right here on coffee with Kenny.
• 7:43
  All right, in ending next year, you know the championship is
• 7:47
  going to be decided at Miami Homestead and we're going to
• 7:49
  have back a three or four race playoff and oh, by the way, just
• 7:53
  a little bit of comedy. Oh look, I like the racing
• 7:57
  better because they got a better point system now.
