I have lost my zest and zeal for Nascar!!! I used to love it and enjoy it.....I just don't anymore sadly.
Yup same here. As a non american, what got me into the sport in 90s was the southern hospitality and the accents and culture. Now there is no southern culture left really. They have demonized and shat upon their core base (which is southern) in exchange for political correctness and global reach. Then not to mention the awful rules and championship format.... then this new car is awful in everyway from the looks to product it creates to the safety. There is a reason why many old fans rather watch old races for the 100th time... sundays just aint the same anymore and nascar is no longer a blue collar gentlemen sport. It is all young guys and very few of them had to pay their dues... I miss the days when an older gentlemen like morgan shepherd could win a race in his 50s while driving for a top team like wood bros. I miss nascar and the death of nascar is a sign of the death of the nation, its history, and its culture.
@@nedjarret5672 well said. They forgot their roots. They were good ole boys running moonshine, they were smugglers and outlaws. They became southern folk heros. They were outlaws to put food on the table. They were working class from all over the south, but also the Midwest and other blue collar regions. The Allan kulwickis huh? Not southern , but blue collar and hard working as they come. Not only have the forgotten their roots. They are ashamed of it. The modern product is boring. From the stupid stage racing, to the silver spoon brats, it's just plain boring. It is now, cars going in circles. The heros are gone. The guys a mechanic , or construction worker could relate too. The characters can never be replaced. The Earnhardt's, the smokey yunicks , the Jr Johnson's. Can't replace them.
@@joshsmith4512 great comment sir Josh. Amen. I appreciated it very much. Cheers my man
me too. I can't watch nascar anymore after watching for 35 years
That’s what happens when NASCAR is more worried about social optics than racing🤡
They want to attract new fans , and know they already have the legacy fans hooked. They have said this. The problem is the legacy fans are the loyal ones
@@tillman40 It might be easier to say, You Can have your opinion- How can we make this better, Don't just say "This sucks"
This is the reason I don’t follow nascar anymore.
@@marionberry6909 I guess you’ll need to cry about it then
@@lillianbunny99
Not really, dirt racing is much more fun😀😉
Motorsports (as a whole, in spite of allegiance) needs more team owners/racers like "Smoke" who aren't afraid to ruffle the feathers of their respective sanctioning bodies!
SMOKE = GOAT
or kill a kid and walk free as a bird
NASCAR is done. Go woke go broke. The racing sucks as well. I used to watch and go to nascar races. Just listening to Kenny and Tony be scared should let you know what’s up 🙄🙄🤮🤮
@@reddog8003
Exactly 💯
"aren't afraid to ruffle the feathers"...Are you watching the same show as us? He just told you he's afraid to speak! The are all wimps.
Tony Stewart has strong opinions about pretty much everything. And this is why he is so respected and such an awesome interview. He's not afraid to tell it like it is. He' not afraid to flip NASCAR the bird. He's not afraid to go 300 in an Alcohol Dragster. Love the guy!
Tony Stewart is a murderer and Kenny sells meth
Yeah he’s definitely one of the GOATs
280 mph but he's still flyin'..... :)
Humpy Wheeler used to post on his TH-cam channel about stories and the TRUTH of what is going on in NASCAR. He suddenly stopped one day. I believe he did because someone at the top told him to shut up. He has not posted in like 7-8 years now. I wish Tony could speak his mind without getting into trouble. The politics of NASCAR today is absolutely atrocious.
I am thrilled that you got the opportunity to interview Tony! He has done so much in the world of racing with so many series. Super happy he is also active with NHRA
Gotem a top alcohol win. His first walley
If you haven't you should go listen to the Dale Jr download from Tuesday Tony was on
Hadn’t cared for stewart since he ran over that guy in the open wheel car on purpose and killed him, he should be in prison.
@@wayneskinner5931 I 100% agree
@@jamiediamond420 It was no accident he dead ass ran right over that boy.
Crazy, 75 years of NASCAR. I raced in the Winston Racing Series during the 50th anniversary, still have my old fire suit with the 50th patches. I no longer watch NASCAR but was grateful to have raced in it and spent many a Sunday watching the likes of Dale Sr, Gordon and Smoke. I miss those days. Thanks Herm for all you do to help keep motorsports alive, luv ya buddy! 💛
Never heard of the driver "Umm yeah no", but okay.
You can’t type this and not tell us who you are
'Smoke' has a hearse fetish.
I'm a black guy been watching NASCAR SINCE I WAS 16yrs old! I've watched went Tru David Pearson Cale, Donnie, Bobby, All of them! Now what angers me is how "RACIST" The have gotten! Just outrageous! What's good for the goose is good for the gander! No color barriers! You have young white drivers make mistakes! But because of a man's skin color he's labeled! EITHER GROSSLY UNFAIR OR RACIST!🤔
@@bigelile07 There was thousands of us racing for national points in the Winston Racing Series at short tracks across the country, very few made it to Winston Cup, I think Winston Cup is the series you were thinking I was talking about. You'd have never heard of me or anyone I raced against. I think the series is now called the Advance Auto Parts Series.
Two of the most upfront people in the sport. Love and apperciate you two guys!
I still remember when the only racing league with identical cars was the IROC series. Return NASCAR to run what you brung and let the fastest car win.
IROC had some great racing!
In NASCAR the cars are not identical They have brand identity get f****** educated
There neeeeeds to be a new national top-level touring stock car series with a mix of ovals and road courses ran by guys like Tony and Dale Jr.
Yes they need new management but Tony has too many irons in all form of racing in the fires and Jr thinks only Chevys should be allowed to win races, Nice guy with bad ideas.
Tony you have enough influence to start a new stock car organization.And I mean STOCK CAR RACING.
Jr’s a NASCAR PUPPET.
It’s called late model stocks. Lmao
@@Goosemaster1810 srx…… lol
I've always thought that the NFL higher-ups are thin-skinned regarding taking criticism from the players, coaches and owners. The higher-ups of NASCAR are worse.
I’ve been so vocal about this for years. If you pass both pre race and post race inspection, that’s it. Load your car up and head back to the shop. All these big fines and suspensions, to me, is just discouraging the next generation of owners in the sport
yea it is, it was just as irratating when they did whole routine slow mo judging in performance olympic sports like gymnastics ski ing and skating, the commentaters appalled the nit pickyness it added and the way deductions could be added up or taken, and they said this is not fair if they didn't see it once they can go back as necissary, or they way some laws have been openended for crimes commited sometimes a lifetime ago, or bad behavure people reformed or moved on from doing, its like make amends and move on dont ripe open old wounds, a part of justice is also healing
Same race team won the championship like 15 out of the last 30 years. RCH...You think that attracts new investors and team owners. There was a monopoly on winning. And it was about connections,and cheating and being in with the inspectors,and having a big team. Now it's fair even the smaller lesser known teams can compete now. More about the drivers and crews then about your parts connection and who you pay off.
I love nascar because I love racing! But tony just confirmed what I always thought was going on in nascar!
@@demonkiller1104 if you understand anything about motorsports, it’s about gaining a competitive edge on your competitors. That’s what sports is man. This new car has been a flop. It’s good that it’s helped with costs, but the racing product sucks. I was at talladega last weekend for that race and it was literally 2 wide with very little shuffling or passing. The front few were the only ones doing any kind of passing. Even short tracks are shit races. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be rules but if you pass pre race and post race inspection, then that’s what should matter. It’s that way in any other form of racing. You are legal before the race and after so let it be that and head home when the race is done. Fining and suspending crew members for the tiniest damn things will definitely discourage new owners because if they want to try something new that literally will just give them a touch of performance boost, which is what you want to beat your competitors, then they will have no interest whatsoever in dealing with nascar. Why do you think there’s hardly any cars at the track anymore?
@@demonkiller1104 not really, it's still a fixed sport...
NASCAR isn't awesome, it WAS awesome
Herm and Smoke in the same video, what a day! Congratulations Tony. Understandable that you guys couldn't say exactly what you may have wanted to and that is a shame. What happened to freedom of speech in this country. Is NASCAR worried about the truth of things coming out? It seems that everyone involved in the racing circle, from teams/drivers, to the fans talking about situations that happen, there are no secrets. Is it about someone getting to pocket a couple of $100K of easy money? Does NASCAR have their head buried that far up their exhaust pipe? Any how, we still love racing. Like you guys said, let's get over the ridiculous penalties.
For the last 15 years NASCAR has done EVERYTHING in their power to drive me away from the sport. After 40 years being involved in the sport and as a fan they have succeeded. I probably won't watch a cup race ever again. Thanks again NASCAR
In my opinion This is the interview of the year. Love both you guys.
Some love him and some hate him but Tony Stewart is honest as the day is long. He has earned respect in the sport and will always be a champion on the track and in life. Love you Smoke✌️
Rusty paid a fine in pennies, everytime he went to the pits, they threw a caution, bingo, a lap down.
Kenny and Tony.. what more could you want from a race fan's perspective.. I am an Australian and I saw Tony at the start of his career when he came down under and raced Midget race cars.. he was the same Tony then as he is today.. Tony and Kenny are the true 'soul' of Nascar and Dirt track racing..
We *THE FANS* can make nascar go the same way as bud light !!!
I’ve been saying this for so long. The fans are in control. We don’t have to take this crap they are giving us
AMEN.... I wish the fans would do a TOTAL BOYCOTT... no TV and nobody at the track.... they would change what they are doing in heartbeat... but until fans grow some balls and act.... its all talk... its to be all action and less talk... it would only take a couple of weeks of a completely empty track to get them to do a 180... BUT, fans just let the carnage continue...
Nascar has become to political
@@bryonkidder6199 not this bad Nascar has gone to far with all this political bull crap
Like everything else
Wellllllll, heavy lies the crown 👑…. “ often those who speak of the problems, created said problems.” What are YOU as a fan doing negatively, or positively to impact the sport…? 👀
That's why I left after bubbles big lie and how Nascar basically called us razist fans. Haven't seen a race since. I just heard about Tony's comment on bubbles. About Laying him out.
And there is a stereotype that NASCAR fans are the kind of people who don’t know the difference between “To” and “Too”.
Excellent interview! Loved the conversation between two real racers! I was actually at the Prelude when you won Kenny. I totally wish Tony would bring it back. I love the dirt!
Every Friday I ask my lady you want to get dirty. We go to dirt track in Travelers Rest. Most times.
I’d like to see Tony’s SRX series take off.
As a dirt track driver,I use to love Nascar, But since 2020 NASCAR has in my opinion went down hill fast, Fan's are not happy, Every year my entire family of 11 buy the VIP tickets for every NASCAR race pre order,We booked our motels a year in advance we loved it, Last year and this one only got the Daytona tickets and left halfway through
Wow what a waste of fucking money 😂 you realize theres people who would kill for those tickets right?
I've been to Daytona twice. One race was a total one lane wonder, the other was excellent. Daytona can be fickle.
I went to Talladega this year, I think it was the most boring race that I’ve ever seen. Every lap besides the last five was like a parade lap.
@@jeremyreedtrucking.7053 Nascar has killed racing,
@@jeremyreedtrucking.7053Even though they were two wide the whole race and jockeying for position? Martinsville had the most green flag passes since like 2015.
Remember when Nascar changed lug nut rules, and a reporter asked Tony about it. Tony answered the question honestly and professionally. Nascar FINED him $35k. THEN a week or so later Nascar changed the rule back to before.
Met Kenny and Tony at Berlin raceway in Michigan. Love them both . Two real boys enjoying life.
Just like OSHA or DOT. They won't stop looking until they find something wrong then they'll bust you for it.
So .... perhaps the owners and NASCAR should have simply put a composite body on the old car. They could have agreed to a build that encompassed the best practices without designing a totally new car.
All they needed was a new 1.5 package and a composite body and a little more hp on the old car, boom! Gen 7!
I agree 100%. If it passes before the race, leave it alone. Nascar is screwing themselves. Consistent at being inconsistent
So you support NASCAR starting pre race inspection like Monday to do a detailed inspection?
Tony nailed it with sports car company making cup cars. Ironically they aren’t even as good to watch at road courses anymore as the old cars were. They are faster but the racing isn’t as good
Bingo
Tony Stewart is one of the best commentators on Fox. He has a great sense of humor but you have to listen closely to what he says.
Kenny you and Tony are awesome
All about self preservation.And their bottom dollar.fully took NASCAR that I knew somewhere nobody knows.Saddened by this.Haven’t been or seen a so called NASCAR race in years cause of this as well.Playoffs? absolutely was never meant to be a pro ball game.It’s racing.Just an older dogs opinion.God bless the founders of once a great sport of auto racing.Tony Stewart is spot on.Such another rare soul.
Good interview. The unvarnished opinion.
I used to not like Tony Stewart because his sponsor Home Depot was a direct competitor to my business. But nowadays I think he is Grrrrrrrrreat!!!
Great interview Kenny! Tony is good for Motorsports! Thanks for the video 😎👍
Time for the teams to get together and boycott a big race and take control back!
Love your show and love Smoke. I think a new show should form.
The Kenny & Smoke Show. We debullshit like nobody else. Hell put that on TV right after NASCAR Race Hub. Oh YEAH!!!
Well said Tony. Props to Kenny for bringing this to light. Give the engine back the horsepower! The cars are supposedly safer than they’ve ever been but they aren’t. Fans want to see the speed and good racing not how many screws are in so and so’s windshield and all of the other technicalities that is drowning the sport these days
That's more complicated than just NASCAR deciding to increase the horsepower. You've got them manufacturers like Toyota that doesn't want that and let's say NASCAR's going after Honda there's no damn way Honda wants a 900 horsepower push rod V8
What if they just capped fuel and tire width? Keep a set number of tires. Spec the chassis, transaxle, suspension, and brakes. Then let the manufacturers do what they want.
Dale jr said it best: he said he could talk about nascar and complain but when an outsider says something its like hey watch your mouth dude your talking about my family!! (he meaning all the people that are TRUE fans! nice job kenny!
The problem with NASCAR is that they've gotten away from the grass roots and commercialized the sport to the point that all we have now are vanilla drivers!
Good or bad, we all LOVE the guys and the emotions from them good or bad!
When Harvick and the Bush brothers retire, who will be the "bad boys" of NASCAR?
I dont meant that comment hatefully! I just think NASCAR has jumped the shark !
Good content Herm! Utmost respect for Tony and his opinion. It’s a shame NASCAR management has deteriorated to the point it has. Too much micro-management in the wrong places.
micro management is the way corporations are run today.the woke have taken over.
Same thing happens at local tracks each week.. I was on a race team we dq after a win because we got in a wreck on the last lap and folded the front tire over lowering the ride height. 3 days later after arguments they gave us the win because they never inspected the ride height before the race lol😂
Awesome interview Herm👍
Best interview ever. Nascar problem is it became to much corporate. And still think they reeling back when they left alot of those old tracks in the south years ago.
The work Cleetus Macfarland is doing at the Freedom Factory down in Florida is the answer. He provides the cars! Drivers show up and its some of the best racing I have seen in years. The potential this guy has. I am waiting for the first sponsorship for individual cars. Maybe Kenny and Tony could make a call. 100 bucks Ole Cleetus finds a couple more Crown Vicks for you two in SECONDS.
Hope Nascar opens their decisions to debate among the owners and changes how Teams and drivers communicate with them. They need each other’s support to survive
Debris cautions...! Ugghhh...! Poor Carl Edwards...! Glad those are over...! Thanks, keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...!
NASCAR has alienated some fans lately. I'm a diehard fan, so I'm not going anywhere soon, but some of the moves they've made have upset more than a couple of people I know.
Thanks Herm. One thing about Smoke, he's honest.
Alienated some fans ? That's being polite . :)
Good stuff Kenny 👍🏼 Get Kevin on some time too. Good to hear from Smoke and his unbiased owner opinion
trouble is, the sponsors own NASCAR more than NASCAR owns NASCAR. Creates the "scared to do the right thing" disease, because they afraid of the sponsors pulling out.
Enjoyed this Kenny . Smoke and you always tell it like it is. Can't wait to see you race next month.
Hey Kenny and tony I'm on my woman's account lol and this conversation is nothing but the truth I miss all you guys that I grew up watching I'm 28 years old. I grew up in Ronda NC and I was apart of helping with North wilkesboro speedway back in 210 and the other few years it was open for a little and I'm happy that Dale did what he did get it back and running but the bullshit part is I don't get to see you legends in the cup cars at North wilkesboro only why that track is still hyped for me is because it's history and Dale and my old neighbor junior Johnson
Tony, You are the best Ambassador for all auto racing. I wish I was your neighbor.
The inspection system they have now is definitely fine I understand they want a level playing field even I called for it at times but it's the penalties lately that are getting out of hand for very little, tiny things that don't even affect or benefit the cars performance at all.
I don't have an issue with The Stages in the sport, but we all can agree they need to lose the cautions in between keep the race going like they did at COTA and with the other road courses they're going to do this with. - The Cars certainly still need work to get better on track for the drivers and the fans like more Horsepower is definitely needed when there's races where we see too much follow the leader and little passing for the lead and stuff, Lose the Shifting there's too much of that with this car save it for only restarts and for places like Pocono and Indy places like that. Another thing we want Victory Lane Interviews back not this Front Straightway stuff we get these days. - We also definitely need to get back to having Practice Sessions like we use to have even some of the drivers want that - They need to market their drivers, talent and sponsors too like they use to back in the day also that's another thing they've gotten away from in recent years
You're 100% right about the penalties like with NASCAR getting unhappy but Hendrick Motorsports won it's appeal and decided to take the 24 and 48 and try to find anything and to find out that it was just a screw cut good loard. With the RCR penalty I waiting to find out if they accidentally left some bolts out of the pan or exactly what they did
This was a great chat. A lot of people don’t like how limited the adjustments are that teams can make
👏🏁 DALE Sr Called It The Chrome Horn When it Came Beatin & Bangin 🏁👏
This is on point...... Hendrick did absolutely nothing wrong, and this is a classic example of micromanagement at its finest. This is not the sport that I grew up watching, and I'm not saying that we need to go back to the good ol days, but common sense has to be restored....
Everybody knows NASCAR got hissy pissy about Hendrick Motorsports getting the points back in the appeal about the lovers
You should be scared smoke we love ya though
Another thing that irritates me is NASCAR radio. Nobody there dares to say anything that might be construed as a negative against NASCAR. I get sick of Choc telling us how great everything is and"back in the day" there were far less drivers on the lead lap. That quite simply is because they give a lucky dog to someone at every yellow. Yellow flags at stage breaks. None of this does anything but to desigrate the racing itself. If you have to create the race, you need to take a very close look at the product. Fortunately, I like other forms of racing more than NASCAR and only watch it when it is convenient. I like sprints, midgets, Indy Car and of course F!. It is great to watch a race with no commercials like an F1 race. Also, why is NASCAR radio the only station on Sirius with commercials?
Most of them are employed by nascar like Dave Moody. Larry Mack he works for Fox sports and he of course it's going to watch what he say as could cost him.
10:58 Tony says he wouldnt get a sports car manufacturer to design a stock car. What manufacturer designed it?
The IndyCar chassis manufacturer designed the chassis so maybe they are involved with sports cars also
@@johnhaas2523 Dallara. I don't think they make sports cars for the road, only race cars, but Tony's point is valid. Open wheel and LMP cars is much different than heavy stock cars. Thank you.
great interview kenny i love smoke
Love Tony Stewart, never be another Tony Stewart
Ryan preece is another Tony Stewart
Just ask him🗣
There was always people that freely spoke their mind. Rusty, Dale, Parsons, take your pick. Then there was Herm and Tony! Not only DID you guys say what you had to say but you did it with a stick in hand 😂
It's not that way in racing anymore, plus the government, news outlets, and social media are also censoring people. Sad days!
I quit watching Nascar when they went to a common body the first time. I understand the cost savings aspect but there are other ways and also ways to make less funded teams able to compete. There are no brands to align yourself with just stickers on a body.
Kenny, brother, I'm glad I found your stuff on TH-cam! It's a breath of fresh air by a great host! I'm a huge Rusty fan and also a fan of yours! That interview you did with Stapleton42 telling all the old stories was great!
Tony is a racer's racer 🤘
I admire the time and effort you have spent racing in all forms. I was thrown for a loop when NHRA was announced! Never would I have seen that coming. I've never been to a dirt race but I should do that. Good luck in all your adventures!
Tony, looking good man. Top dawg we miss you with the big boy 410s.
Stopped watching every race in 2017 after Jr retired. I still watch Daytona and Talladega, cuz i can't not watch them. I follow you and the DJD and that's about it these days.
Thank you gentlemen enjoyed your input learned so much. The betting aspect Hmm… gave me something think about. Luv the “De BS” line lol Nascar I miss old school days driver educate and ethics mattered. Each team would look for ways to gain speed and safety the guidelines for passing inspection were so different. You were able change the cars somewhat now every car is identical if I wanted watch Indy I would. Maybe I’m just old either way the sport has changed and not for the better just how I feel. Find myself watching dirt races on Flo enjoying the hell out of it! Just missing the smell of that first hot lap. Thanks again
Some of you guys aren't even listening to what Tony's saying. He's not bashing the sport he clearly said multiple times he still loves NASCAR and is very passionate about he just feels there are some mistakes that are being made and is room for improvement. Which I personally feel is the same case for any sports team or League or business in general. That's why I like Tony he's very passionate and opinionated but is always Fair
He even said that on the Dale Jr download especially when he knows so many people think just because he's not at the track all the time that he isn't interested in a course they blame that on the performance of SHR that he isn't at the track
The big expansion in the 90s led to the construction of big ovals with steep banking. And, improved tires led to higher speeds. Then, there was the game changer. The crash where a car flew into the catch fence. Fortunately, the safety measures worked; otherwise, dozens would have been killed.
This only demonstrated what everyone already knew. When a car over 230 mph leaves the ground, it takes flight. A 20ft catch fence won't be high enough. This then required restrictor plated and rules governing every scew on the car. And, penalties for every bump and rub.
I can't fathom why anybody would bet on NASCAR, a sport with a private and closed rulebook.
Very enlightening interview. Thank you Herman and Smoke both. Damn shame
Kenny, I love you as a brother!
I admire Tony's position.
Other then that, well, you know how I feel about nascar!
When team owners unite and don't show up at the track, then they can have more bargaining power.
That's never happening
Don't race, you break contracts with sponsers. No sponsers, no money. No money, no team.
That'll never happen, sweetie.
There is a resurgence in local short track racing and there are new formats for amature drag racing bringing a resurgence in that sport and yet NASCAR in decline
For 20 years after "The Split", I'd get the "What was IndyCar thinking" questions that were pretty valid. They seem to have subsided in the last few years, but back in the day, it was a constant soap opera.
Man I enjoy when people just talk straight .So rare now.
good interview Tony's one of the greatest
Im slowly interest in Nascar and i never thought id say that. Their taking the sport out of racing they are making people not wanna go to races. Great video guys.
Same here. I’m using iRacing as a way to hang on but even my enjoyment for that is declining, I can’t even watch most of the races without playing on my phone or fall asleep now.
@@DrewHiRacingNASCARWinPOVs Yep! Me to
I was fortunate to grow up in a racing family. Got a chance to race dirt for a few years. Still enjoy watching dirt racing. Nascar came to AZ was fortunate enough to see the first race here. Been watching Nascar since then. Last few years Nascar has become another sport not to watch. Got better things to do than watch some boring corporate run dog and pony show. The different personalities is what made it fun to watch in person or TV. Now they can't speak their mind or they get their hand smacked. Let's get back to racing and stop the bs. Let the drivers speak their minds. Until they pull their respective heads out of their asses I will continue to find better things to do.
I still enjoy nascar racing,but,it's nothing like it used to be!
Modified Tour cars and SK @ Stafford Motor Speedway is now officially the best racing series today.
betting has influenced sports more than we understand. Every critical call or no call in a Super Bowl, the NCAA Championship, NBA finals, and now even NASCAR raises all kinds of questions about the integrity of the officials involved.
Thank you Tony for speaking the truth!!
IMO. If Dale Sr. were still alive none of this BS would be going on. Dale was friends with Mr. France for a reason and vice versa!
One more comment but it ties back too my last one is this. Nascar was built on cheating the cars as much as you could and people are shocked that teams still get caught doing that. It's something that was fundamental to the culture and how it worked. Even if they design a car that is the "same" across the 3 brands you will still have teams trying to push the boundary and its not their fault. Its in the DNA of the sport and thats just not something thats gonna go away easily.
my opinion is they make next gen like f1 ... u have money you win... with all those kind of technologies ... keep it nascar not f1
Wow, Tony looks good. I can tell he's lost some weight.
So True......along with people driving Kia,s Hyundia,s wanting to be good ol boys....sad times...at least here in east tn. there are still guys still loving on the u.s and pride.
Kenny; You asked why we quit. You are answering your own question right here... I am fed up with the garbage. Let them race!!!!
Well... I'm not an owner and I can say it.. NASCAR has gone woke and that France crowd needs to sit down, shut up and let racers race. NASCAR needs the racers and teams... The racers and teams don't need NASCAR.
Love Tony Stewart
Love your logo for the show. May I suggest you make some t-shirts with the logo it would cool to wear. Plus it would be a cheap plug.
Kenny - you have the best interviews out there, man. Keep up the good work. I love it when you put in little asterisk comments like "people in the south call their dads daddy". We need to continue to inform the current audience of young and old about the past in today's term - if that makes sense. Thank you and Smoke.
NASCAR screwed up when they decided to have homogenous cars for all teams. I want to watch a race where there has boundaries and guidelines that 3, 4, or 5 manufacturers (for me ideally American manufacturers, but even then they are not "built in America"), compete. I don't want a Ford and Chevrolet competing that just have a blue oval and a bowtie painted on or wrapped. I want a Mustang to be a Mustang and Camaro to be a Camaro competing. I want a stock car to be a stock car.
As a local short track racer and supporter myself, racing in general will never go away but organizations can go away and nascar is not omitted from this.
If Dale jr., Smoke, etc. decides to start another racing sanctioning body that can 100% compete against nascar then sign me up to participate since they both know what stock car racing should be about and should be run like.
From 2010 to now, nascar has been another form of cancel culture to the fans, drivers, and the owners. Two can play that game and nascar is going to lose the war with the fans, drivers, and owners...look at what happened to Bud Light in whole
Tony already has the SRX .
SRX doesn't count...it's an IROC similar series
👍😎 Statutes of limitations? Look what happened to Lance Armstrong, never failed a drug test but years later they take away his wins. Not right.
Tony Stewart loves racing and guess what he knows racing what he saying is 100% correct
He’s right, just a few months ago Kevin, Denny and even Chase at some point were talking about how dangerous these cars were and you were hearing about how bad the impact is and the flaws the car had. Now they just they have to take time away from the wheel and it’s never discussed in detail as to WHY.
Everyone just seems to have forgotten Kurt Busch having to walk away because of it and it’s no longer a talking point….. If NASCAR wants to pull a NFL and sweep this under the rug they will have a GIANT lawsuit on their hands at some point.
If NASCAR truly wants to improve and grow the sport, they MUST listen to their car owners and drivers, otherwise they loose the owners, drivers and sponsors.
The new car is nothing less than an overweight IMSA car.
I bet everyone wishes big Bill France jr was still around, none of this bullshit would be going on!!!
