    Great interview. The Rumleys are Late Model Royalty. Kevin is awesome talent and great communication. Kyle is fun to watch no matter what he drives and is bringing his fans with him.

    While I feel as if most of K. Rumley’s answers were fairly canned Public relations comments, and I understand that as his relationships require a certain amount of
    Restraint, it is always great to hear whatever a guy like Rumley has to say. And, thank you Justin for posting this. Interviews from folks in the racing industry are always welcome and enlightening.

    Great interview that was awesome you have a new subscriber with me! I grew up watching dirt racing since I was 5 years old Cherokee speedway is my home track, me and my dad have always pulled for anybody that drove Rumley's cars we are both big fans of Kevin and his dad Leroy they always have been very good at adjusting their cars to what the driver is feeling. 2015 was a hell of a year I've never seen such a dominating season when davenport drove for them we loved that car it had a badass look I remember when they used to have that saw blade on the side of it that was so cool that always stuck out to me I liked that. Billy Hicks drove it then Petey Ivey drove it some, there are plenty more as well, were fans of Kyle Larson too he's he's definitely a wheelman my dad is 61 years old and said he's never seen a better driver than Larson!

      My gosh how many Saturday nights in the 80’s I spent at 311 speedway watching some of the best in the business wheeling the Rumley cars! Donald and Ray Tucker, Bennie Davis etc.! And this team goes back to the early 70’s or later! Anyone that looks at Minnesota Max’s TH-cam channel featuring “old school race cars” has seen many examples of early Rumley cars! I love the history part of all this stuff! Great vid!

    For that last 45 years I have been a sprint car/ Midget guy and couldn't care less about late models. But in the last couple years of watching your show and Flo I have learned a lot and found late models fascinating. I still think the cars are ugly as hell but it has been fun following all the interesting aspects of late models and their drivers. Thank you for this segment it has provided a wealth of knowledge

    I remember when people like Hot Rod drove the Race Car and Billy Hicks and Ray Tucker drove it. Back in the early 90s at The BIG 1/2 Mile. Cherokee Speedway. The Best Track in the Country. But now you could not pay me to go there now. And watch a race. But back in the day. It was Leroy Rumley The 6 looked like a Saw Blade. And the Race Car all way's Rumbled when it came by. Was that Kevin's Dad or Uncle. Thanks for the great interview.

    Great interview. Most on here don’t understand the skill needed to get an engineer to speak with more than one sentence at a time 😂. I think I know now why Longhorn is 14-0. I imagine Rocket is wayyy behind . Unless they have an R&D car/driver on Kevin’s/Kyle’s level they will not catch up.
