I still watch and have passion for the sport but growing up in the 90s and 00s, you're right, it isn't the same.

yeah it sucks. I tried following everything this season but lost interest. It didn’t help when Rutledge Wood would get first dibs with the winner while the excited crew has to wait behind the wall while Rutledge asks dumb questions like “how does it feel to win?”. Then they don’t really even show the winner get out of the car in victory lane. I don’t know man. I digress.

I've found myself watching old races on UKposts instead of trying to watch it now. The short track night races from the early 2000s are like chicken soup for the soul. Some of those races are still seared into my memory almost 20 years later. I'll never have that connection with modern NASCAR.

Once Dale Sr died it was never the same.

I feel u man but it cant be the same , people were dieing , and as entertaining as it was , if u lost ur father and had to watch it im sure you would want change too , nascar has changed alot , but atleast the racers familys dont think its a total bloodbath demolishion derby anymore

I just wish we had Speed channel again. Honestly, I think that's part of the reason Nascar isn't what it was just a few short years ago.

He was good on TV. He said the travel and hotel stays weekly took a toll on him. Now he enjoys hauling his modified around the country doing what he loves. Check out his Official Facebook page if you aren't already. Funny stuff on there.

I agree except for Spencer , he’s a turd.

@@CSDonohue11 yeah i agree. My brother was on his pit crew for the Heinz car early 90's and he said the same thing.

@@CSDonohue11 I lost a lot of what little respect was there for Spencer after he was on Jr’s podcast. Totally copped out on owning up to what he said and addressing it. Jr winning in 01 was Jr showing he could drive better than anyone when he really wanted it. Of course all the teams were creative with the rules and some drivers may have even gone a little easy on that race to try to let him up front for a chance to win, but who’s going to admit that? There was a respect there among those guys and Spencer completely tarnished it by his comment. At least he came on the podcast but that was a very understated display of class on Jr’s part by just letting it slide after that. He realized Spencer is just a mad dog on his way out and he’s just running his mouth and nothing out of it means anything

😊

Mike Wallace is a not humble Liar? You are, maybe.

@@buccizero i'll never forget benny parsons saying " how did he get through all those cars!!"?

@@buccizero and dale waving that hand, gesturing come on kenny

spencer kenney Great job Spencer!!! Not one soul mentions that and your correct,that square D Chevy was owned by Andy Pettrie pushed Earnhardt to 76 win & his last Wallace didn’t drive no more,wanted to much money Lol...Shame Earnhardt didn’t push him.All well Thanks for memory lane.

During the early 2000's he also would draft with Jr. a bunch as well. It was some of those early 2000 Talladega races where Jr. would dominate. One race they put Kenny in Waltrips old Aarons car cause he was racing the Napa car for DEI. They gave Kenny a DEI engine & he was right up there in front with Jr. & Michael Waltrip

I'm from Alabama also Where in BAMA you from?

The Dale Jr download and all of the Dirty Mo Media stuff we see weekly (and specials) is true art. I love the realness you get with everyone who comes on and love the production quality. Best thing Jr has done post-driving (aside from the 1 race a year he does of course)

Wallace sir was a legend at Tri'City Speedway

He might not have won in cup . But I think of him as one of the greats . How much winning would any modern cup star do against dale sr ,Darrell, rusty ,martin, bodine , Richmond , gordon, jarret ect ! Only 1 guy can win any race and those fields were stacked and the good money was spent elsewhere ! So rock on Kenny for having a career and feeding your family while still being a house hold name . Not many can do that . He does it with pride !

He won some Busch (now Xfinity) races and he was always the guy people wanted to fill in when their driver got hurt, he didn't have a terrible career at all, maybe in a better car he could have won something.

Rusty Wells I have no idea why this podcast has only 88k subscribers on UKposts. So entertaining.

There are many good ones. Watch the show with Schrader.

Wow, I remember that now. I had to Google it and it doesn't seem like it but Kenny filled in the driver seat for the number one Pennzoil for 2 months! Had Kenny won the race, it would have been a sweep for the DEI team at Rockingham that year since Steve Park won the emotional spring race 1 week after Dale Sr. died!

Mike Davidson...along with Bob Senneker and the Bluebird #84. That was some fun racing, watching ASA back then.

I worked on a few teams in ASA in the mid 90s. Rick Beebe #6, Steve Shive #54, and Mike Cofer #6 and #79.

Kenny always was a class act. Wish he was in the booth calling races.💯❤❤
