- 0:12everything and anything you need to fix your vehicle up.
- 0:16And they're telling me that they have Jeep parts and truck parts
- 0:20in emergency press conference. Emergency press conference.
- 0:28Here it is. Here it is.
- 0:30We're going to get right to the news, all right?
- 0:34Per NASCAR, Austin Dillon's win will not count towards playoff
- 0:41driver and owner points, championship points.
- 0:46NASCAR says Austin Dillon violated playoff eligibility
- 0:51rule and loses the benefit of. Basically, I'm saying this,
- 0:57remember the old win and you're in.
- 1:01All right, let's bust it down. Let's talk about it one more
- 1:04time. Austin Dillon, his win will not
- 1:09count is what NASCAR says towards playoff driver and
- 1:14owner. So they covered it all.
- 1:17One thing a lot of people don't know is they separated in case
- 1:20our driver got hurt. You would say there's driver
- 1:23points and then that drivers out and then they bring another
- 1:26driver in for that same team. So then the team would keep on
- 1:29going and they would call that championship points.
- 1:32So NASCAR covered the bases on this little posty note.
- 1:37Austin Dillon, his win will not count towards anything towards
- 1:44the playoff, and that's driver and owner points.
- 1:48And once again, I know I'm repeating myself, but this is
- 1:51such big news that we got to make sure I say it three times
- 1:55for Earnhardt. Austin Dillon violated
- 2:00eligibility rule and loses the benefits, loses, loses
- 2:06everything that comes with winning.
- 2:08So basically remember once again when and you're in, no, Austin
- 2:14Dillon's win and you're in does not count.
- 2:17All right, there you go. I broke it down for you, right?
- 2:21Breaking news, just like Walter Concrete.
- 2:24You don't know who that is back in the day, breaking news.
- 2:29All right, so you're going to once again, I was right.
- 2:33I said if they come out and they penalize them, 50% of the
- 2:37people, I can hear you now. I can hear you now.
- 2:41NASCAR is a bunch of Pansy asses.
- 2:44What? You can't knock people out of
- 2:46the way anymore. Earnhardt used to do it all the
- 2:48time. I hear you.
- 2:51And then I hear the other people.
- 2:55He crossed the line. You can't come in like a
- 2:58bulldozer and wipe you out. All right, now, I've told you
- 3:03the news. I told you the way you're going
- 3:05to think. So I'm going to, I'm going to
- 3:07address it. All right?
- 3:09When I did my three videos, I told you what happened, I told
- 3:13you why he did it, and I told you what NASCAR should do.
- 3:18I'm perfect on this. I'm not taking nothing back.
- 3:21I wasn't wrong about anything. I was right.
- 3:25Herman, you're being snarky. So, but I did.
- 3:30I came out of the Texas Roadhouse and I told you what
- 3:32happened. Told you that that was the
- 3:35flying Aces, that the three is going to have his back.
- 3:38And they did. And then I told you why he did
- 3:41it, because he was desperate. You had Johnny Morris there who
- 3:45owned, who owned Texas, or excuse me, who owned bass pro So
- 3:58all right, I want to address the complete situation back years
- 4:07ago when Earnhardt did what he did and everybody's knocking the
- 4:10hell out of each other. He just did it for that race
- 4:14because it was all season points.
- 4:17Now they're taking this action because the game of engagement
- 4:21has changed. And what that means is you win a
- 4:26race and you're in in the championship chase.
- 4:29It wasn't like that years ago. So I say to myself, well,
- 4:33Herman, how do you how do you feel about this?
- 4:38I don't like the way they handled it.
- 4:40I told you, now I'm going to be consistent.
- 4:42I don't like the way NASCAR handled this.
- 4:45Damn it. That decision needed to be made
- 4:48on Sunday night after the race. Listen, it's easy for me to sit
- 4:56here three days later. Today's Wednesday.
- 4:58It's easy for me to sit here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
- 5:02But is it really easy for me to sit here three days later and
- 5:05go, what I just saw is not going to stand?
- 5:10I mean, does it take 5 minutes to go, holy crap, he just wiped
- 5:14out three cars, two cars and make my decision right then?
- 5:19So if you go back to history, if you go act to like Ricky Rudd,
- 5:24who was that Ricky Rudd, Davey Allison, something like that at
- 5:27Sonoma, Sears Point, whatever you want to call it.
- 5:30I'm not, I'm not in the it's not Sonoma, it's not Sears Point,
- 5:34you know what I'm saying? You go back 20 years ago when
- 5:39that whole deal happened, they said immediately, that's not the
- 5:42winner. Here's your winner.
- 5:45So I just feel like moving forward, they they listen,
- 5:50everybody at NASCAR is watching this right now.
- 5:52And I know you are and I know better than you.
- 5:57You all OK here? I'm going to do it.
- 5:58You're better than me. You're better than Kenya.
- 6:01I'm dumb. However, though I'm not dumb.
- 6:03I'm very smart. You got to quit.
- 6:07We've got to quit this. Three days later stuff.
- 6:11You you don't see nobody do that in any sport.
- 6:15We got it. We can't sit there and run.
- 6:17Well, let's let's make here. So here's what NASCAR's doing.
- 6:21Let's take our time. Let's make this right.
- 6:24No, no, you can't take your time and you can't make it right.
- 6:29It's very simple. The decision needed to make.
- 6:31Then here's what I want to see and I need all of you to respond
- 6:34right here. You know how now baseball's got
- 6:38it right? There's been championships lost,
- 6:42perfect seasons thrown away, perfect games thrown away
- 6:46because the UMP got it wrong. What do they do?
- 6:49Remember the big deal at first base?
- 6:52Safe. And he wasn't safe.
- 6:54He was out by a mile. So what became of that is they
- 6:57created the let's call, let's call New York and in two minutes
- 7:03done. That's what needs to be done
- 7:05after these races. We need to party of three,
- 7:10right? Party of three at the races
- 7:12every week. Who is that party?
- 7:143 Elton Sawyer. Steve Phelps got to be on the
- 7:18horn because he's the main guy. There needs to be three people
- 7:21at these races and immediately you, you hold the cars right
- 7:26there, the race is over. Checkered flag.
- 7:29Bring everybody right there. It'll make for good TV.
- 7:32Park the cars right there on Pit Rd.
- 7:35We're on the horn right now waiting for the official call.
- 7:38So what if it's 5 minutes? You can kill 5 minutes on TV,
- 7:42the dude. Hell, we killed 3 hour rain
- 7:45delays and all of a sudden you got a guy on Pit Rd. and he goes
- 7:50just talk to Daytona. Here is the official ruling.
- 7:54The ruling is Austin Dillon's win does not count, and here's
- 7:58why. The crowd roars.
- 8:01People are tuned in on TV. So you see what I'm saying?
- 8:05All right, I'm not going to belabor this point.
- 8:08I told you what happened. I told you what I would do to
- 8:13fix it. I would do exactly like Major
- 8:16League Baseball does it. OK, so you respond right here.
- 8:21We saw this coming and there's an uproar right now.
- 8:25All the fans are freaking out. I can't believe NASCAR.
- 8:28They're Pansy asses. I can't believe they did this
- 8:32stuff. Now here's what's funny about
- 8:33it. He gets to keep their trophy.
- 8:36Like I said he would. I was right.
- 8:38He gets to keep the trophy. You're going to go into RCR and
- 8:41there's going to be and he won the race.
- 8:44Austin Dillon won the race. So I'm still right.
- 8:47Nobody gets me, see, because people try to get me.
- 8:50You're not going to get me. I still win and we've been
- 8:53saying for three days how are they going to rule?
- 8:56They rule and now that's what I'm commenting on and I'm
- 8:59telling you what I would do to prevent that.
- 9:02So every time something happens, I say what I would do because
- 9:06I'm a leader. I want to see NASCAR have a
- 9:10three people at the end of these races and when these calls
- 9:14happen, I want to see the cars parked on Pit Rd. for minutes
- 9:17because that's all it takes. It don't take to get people
- 9:21involved. And no, these three people that
- 9:25you choose to look over this look right there at the
- 9:29racetrack. Each network has the replays
- 9:31over and over. You have everything you need at
- 9:35your disposal. We do not need three days.
- 9:38OK. No, look, that was a fake
- 9:41Victory Lane. See?
- 9:44Yeah. I mean, yeah, it was a real
- 9:45Victory Lane and he won the race, but they took the win away
- 9:48from him. So whatever.
- 9:50Let's have a real Victory Lane. The car that goes to Victory
- 9:54Lane, everything's real. That was a fake Victory Lane,
- 9:59and it's not good for anybody. Now you're going to argue with
- 10:03me. That was not a fake Victory
- 10:04Lane, but it was a fake Victory Lane because nothing came with
- 10:09the win. Yeah, he won the race and he got
- 10:11the trophy, but now his wife and the picture member's wife, they
- 10:17got they made they made those videos on Instagram.
- 10:21They said we're going to the playoffs.
- 10:23But now they're not. Now they're not going.
- 10:26Austin Dillon's wife, she's beautiful.
- 10:28I love her to death. She's so nice.
- 10:29And her friend, they made a beautiful, they were dancing on
- 10:33Instagram. We're headed to the playoffs.
- 10:36They're not headed to the playoffs.
- 10:38They're not going to the playoffs.
- 10:39So see what I mean? The Victory Lane was fake.
- 10:43We need victory lanes that are real.
- 10:45I've been complaining about this and and they did listen to me
- 10:50because now they now when the race is over, now we know that's
- 10:54the winner. They inspect them and that's the
- 10:57winner. So I'm right on that.
- 11:00When I'm wrong, I tell you I'm wrong.
- 11:02They know they they still take cars back, but they don't
- 11:05announce. So three days later, now Bob
- 11:07Pogras and everybody comes out right after racing.
- 11:10They go tech inspection is clear, this is your official
- 11:14winner. So the herminator didn't get
- 11:16that done because I, I, I, I said that's got to be done.
- 11:20So now moving forward, we're going to repeat it for the third
- 11:24time. I want three people in the booth
- 11:27and I and I want Elton Sawyer and I want Steve Phelps and I
- 11:30want somebody else. And we're going to know who
- 11:32these people are and we're going to park them cars on Pit Rd. for
- 11:36two minutes. Count the two minutes.
- 11:38It's a long damn time. When I did TV, they said you got
- 11:4260 minutes, 60 seconds. Excuse me, you got 60 seconds.
- 11:47A long time. We should be able to have a
- 11:51review and have an answer with less than 5 minutes.
- 11:55All right, everybody, I said what I said and I mean what I
- 11:58said, and I'm not going to take anything back.
- 12:01Bad day for Austin Dillon. He's still racing.
- 12:05He keeps the win. He got the trophy.
- 12:07He don't got to give it back. Why?
- 12:11It's got to take her video down because they're not going to the
- 12:14playoffs. However, Austin Dillon ran
- 12:18really good. Just since the last thing I'm
- 12:19gonna say, I like Austin Dillon. I love Richard Schiller's.
- 12:23I like all of them. They're my buddies.
- 12:25I'm going to see them. I'm going down to the K&L suite
- 12:29at Bristol. I'm going to see Austin.
- 12:30I'm going to give them a hug. I'm going to see the Kylie
- 12:33family, K&L Ready Mix. That's all.
- 12:35Richard Schiller's to me. That's everybody.
- 12:38I'm going to give him a hug. He ran good at Richmond.
- 12:42The three car ran good at Richmond.
- 12:44They can win because they found something so sweet.
- 12:48Revenge would be Austin Dillon winning in the next however many
- 12:52races. Well, we got two races left,
- 12:54three races left. Austin Dillon can win moving
- 12:58forward and get in the playoffs. All right, respond right here.
- 13:03Remember, we are in podcast form.
- 13:05We are in iTunes and Spotify until the next Kenny Wallace
- 13:10show. I'm exhausted.
- 13:14Respond right here. Tell me how wrong I am.
- 13:16Herman, you're wrong. I don't think I'm wrong on
- 13:18anything, but bring it and the next show will be about how I
- 13:22was wrong. But I'm not wrong that Wallace.
- 13:25He's snarky.
