Kenny I remember in high school you were telling us that you were going to race in NASCAR and you made it happen.
pretty awesome!
This little moment right here is one of my favorite things Ive ever seen on the internet 👑
I grew up with Jeremy Mayfield and he always talked about being a NASCAR driver too.
@@KennyWallace36 hey what is? The commerical you going after ufo and get pull?by police
I remember going to Lake Hill Speedway in Valley Park. I was lucky 🍀 enough to see Rusty’s first race. Also remember his dad Russ, what a great driver he also was. Great racing family.😎
First driver I ever rooted for was Rusty way back in the mid 80's. Rusty spoke about the void when your favorite driver retires. That is what happened to me when Rusty retired. After a few years of not really caring, I settled on Carl Edwards and what happened? He retired and since then I have half hearted rooted for Brad in the #2 because why? Rusty drove that car. I have lost the excitement that I used to have. Don't think I will ever like a driver more than Rusty Wallace. Enjoyed the interview and don't worry Kenny, I rooted for you also.
Couldn’t of said it better. #2 has a special place in my heart.
@@justbillsdirtracingshorts same here especially when Rusty won Michigan in June 94 on father's day.
What an awesome interview. Wish it was a few hours long. When Rusty crashed at Talladega in '93, we were sitting in the Birmingham Tower. We were big Earnhardt fans, but it looked like Dale took Rusty out almost intentionally. I'm sure he didn't, but it sure looked that way. You could've heard a pin drop in those stands as nobody was breathing. It looked really bad, then finally Rusty came out of that car. Dale was there with your driving gloves in his hands. I know he was one relieved guy when he saw you was going to be ok. Scary moment. (and I've seen many scary moments at 'Dega, but that ranks right up there with Bobby's wreck in the tri-oval in '87) As a side note, Martin conducted this interview better than anybody I ever heard. Really asked some great questions, and then let the men talk. I tip my hat!
The race when Bobby Allison tore down the catch fence, while the track crew were repairing the fence, the fans got to enjoy a wet Tshirt contest in the stands. The good old days. Tickets back then at the Birmingham Tower were $35-$40.
Love this. Seeing brothers being brothers. I have two brothers who are my best friends now that we are older.
Man, TH-cam is amazing just because it gives the heros of my youth a 🎤! I would do another combat deployment in Iraq just to meet and listen to these guys tell stories !
thx for your service!
No thank you, listening to your stories is medicine! I was a rusty fan so I had to fight a lot of Earnhardt marines over the 89 championship, mind you we were only 10 in 89 lol but it still was a argument everytime I brought up 89 championship!
Hey Kenny great to see you get on the you tube band wagon! Good to see Rusty, and I agree NASCAR is sliding down hill. I use to love to watch those rivalries of the old days.
My wife set next to Rusty at a Bristol fund raiser around 96. She came home and told my son she sat next to some guy with a Miller label on his shirt who got into a big black truck with a few other guys when he left. My son took her to his bedroom to huge poster on the wall and pointed. My wife says “yes that was the guy right there” pointing at Rusty. She was in big trouble for not getting a photo or an autograph. We have never let her live that down.
Good to see you both. Thank for being you. “Just good ole country boys”
I was a always a big Fan of Rusty as he won the first cup race I went to in Michigan! I always pulled for the Wallace brothers. Great interview
Love the video,Rusty was my favorite driver b4 he retired and watching Kenny on dirt is awesome,heck of a racing family.
Great interview, good questions and good job sitting back and letting them share.
What a great interview!! Enjoyed hearing these memories and stories. Awesome. #KennyWallace
thx for watching and commenting, DJinFla!
Awesome seeing you both together talking about each other and sharing ya'lls story!
awesome interview!
Well Kenny I enjoyed this video alot . A race of rustys I'll always remember is when my best friend Greg Moore during the race at talladega after rusty fell out the race came and asked rusty to get in the 15 car because rudd was sick and rudd use to frustrate us all because he sucked at talladega. So rusty drove that 15 to 3rd place. That really impressed us all. And you Kenny pushing Earnhardt to his Daytona 500 win was great. Larry
Larry, thx for watching, commenting and subscribing!
@@KennyWallace36 I certainly look forward to more videos and stories. Your a great guy!
@@larryburwell8550 thx for watching and commenting!
Lifetime fan of the Wallace Brothers.
This is a fantastic video. Thanks for sharing it. It’s a blessing to hear the stories. Best wishes to everyone 🙏
Great interview!
I remember the Talladega wreck. I remember Rusty's arms flyin' around outside the car! He's lucky to live through that wreck but I can't explain why or how he only broke his wrist...lol
Safety has cleaned the sport up so much that every CEO's son wants to be a "race car driver" and they got the money to make it happen...lol
Thanks for putting this on!
Bryon, thx for watching and commenting!
I'm watching my hero's grow older in these videos and loving it! So much better than the alternative.
I was watching the race where Rusty flipped on the last lap at Talladega. It was on ESPN, I believe in '93. Couldn't see any movement from the car afterward and was very worried. I'd been a Davey Allison fan and of course we lost him two months later and had lost Alan Kulwicki a month prior to Talladega. Very fortunate to have gotten to see all 3 of these gentlemen at Talladega in '91 and '92 for the spring race, and also two of them in IROC there.
Just now seeing this and really enjoyed the show. Thanks so much
What a wonderfuil interview. I was at Talladega in 2000 when Kenny pushed Sr to his last victory. I believe in my heart that that race was the spark that Big E needed to win his eight championship in 2001. Kenny was with him for his last win, and Schrader was with him for his last race. I've always thought a lot of both of you guys.
I’ve never been able to find someone to pull for like I pulled for Rusty when he was driving.
great driver!
They really don't have anyone like him anymore. I'm trying to think of someone but can't...lol
Keselowski is the closest for me...lol
I first watched Rusty back in the mid 70's at Springfield, Mo fairgrounds. The late great Larry Phillips was a great mentor to Rusty. Rusty travelled around the country with Larry legend. Awesome racing in Springfield then. Larry, rustu, trickle, reffner, shear ect.
One of the funniest things I ever saw: It had rained hard at Richmond. I think it was the bluemax car. Rusty spins or whatever during the race and ends up car strattled across a canal ditch in the infield. 😂 Everybody around it looked like they were taking pictures and I'm sure he was probably fuming yelling at someone to help him get his car back on track. lol.
Thank you Kenny and Rusty for sharing this! and Martin.
it was great!
Rusty was fun to watch. He drove like a pissed off swarm of bees. I thinks its safe to say that racing is in the Wallace's blood.
I’m a big Kenny fan first and Rusty came along next. Love both you guys and always wandering what y’all are up too. Hope this helps. Cheers.
thx, Todd!
Kenny we miss you on the radio.That video with you and kim in the wreath room was perfect,my wife does the same thing so she loved it.I met RW several times and he was always cool as hell.KW i still have pictures of the busch shop near CMS with REDDOG on the hood.Ole school stuff.Started being a RW fan in 1988 then got the cup in 89.Then Penske and Miller beer came along,1993 he won the most races but blew up too many motors and that was DE last cup.Wallace family forever!!!!!!!!
Priceless!!! Thanks Kenny and Rusty.
Rusty Wallace, I’d categorize him as certifiable wheelman & definitely a tough customer. In my opinion Rusty is only a few drivers that wasn’t intimidated by Dale Earnhardt. When it came to Jeff Gordon, Rusty seemed to be a junkyard dawg that chewed through the chain link fence & is coming for ya. That’s another thing. You really can’t have a full conversation about Dale or Jeff without mentioning Rusty Wallace somewhere..
I was surprised that 2005 would be his final year. I easily thought he had another 3-5 years for sure. I could feel his vibe to still want to race when he was calling Indy car races & Xfinity races after his retirement. Speaking of which, I’m sure the masses wouldn’t mind if Rusty came to the booth & called races again.
Awesome video Kenny, I been binge watching your older videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
My first race was in may 1989. I was 6 years old. Sitting in the pit terrace grandstands at michigan. Rusty was pitted right in front of us. He won that day. I have been a fan of you and your brother ever since.
Tuna, that's anawesome memory, thx for watching and commenting!
The Raymond Beetle Pontiac Grand Prix #27 Kodiak car?...lol
That was a fast car!
@@bryonkidder6199 yes. Great year for Rusty. I've seen some great races over the years there. The great Dale and Dale Jr iroc race, Mark Martin win in the 5 car by fuel mileage. I've also seen some tragic moments during practice I wish I hadn't
Awesome interview!
yes it was, Joe, thx for watching and commenting!
Hey Kenny.Im from Fort Smith,Arkansas and I remember as a kid watching Mark martin win the track championship at tri-state speedway there in Pocola,Oklahoma in 1977 then Rusty in 1978.Really really great memories.
All ways loved kenny
Great content thanks for sharing
Love the Wallace brothers, keep racing kenny @1
Herman, we all miss you on sattelite radio !!! you are pure gold !!!
You'll be seeing him almost every day on here!
YEAH BUT IF HE KEEPS UP ON YOU TUBE,YOU CAN HEAR HIM,BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT HAPPY FACE.
What a legendary interview!! Also you are right about the characters gone missing in NASCAR. The cancel culture and being PC has taken the life out of NASCAR.
Elroy, thx for watching and commenting!
Rusty I was at Jackson Mississippi and you won the race in the car from Gonzales Louisiana. You Bobby Allison and Lake Speed buzzed us at JIS in 312 BA Aerostar. We helped Dick Trickle pull his engine .
I just found your channel recently so Im catching up.
Love your content. The bike week video, the interview with your wife Kim - I really loved, and now this one.
Im going to keep watching and catch up.
Welcome aboard, Sammie!
I remember Atlanta in 89, I was in the stands directly across from Rustys' pit . Wittnessed him jumping from roof to hood to ground in celebration
Love this interview
My favorite year for Nascar was 93. Rusty and Dale were slugging it out that whole year for the championship. That MGD Pontiac was awesome ....ten wins that year..bunch of top 5's, but Dale beat em out...
Just not a fan of it anymore....bailed from it around 07 or so
I think it was 1975 or 1976 that I watched Rusty racing I think USAC car at Springfield Illinois Fairgrounds. AJ Foyt might of been there to. Rusty I think was driving a white Camaro.
The interviewer almost looks like Mike Wallace. I thought it was him at first until I heard Kenny call him Martin.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview.
thx for watching and commenting!
It was really good...lol
Rusty Wallace is where I got my name from. Born in 1989. My mother didn't like the name Russell so that's where Rustin came about. Kenny I met you back some years ago at Thomas Chevrolet in Bedford, Pa. At a drivers autograph thing they had going on.
awesome!
@@KennyWallace36 You should bring your Modified up to Bedford Speedway September 23-24 2022 for The 2nd Annual DJ Troutman Memorial Race. Local driver. The Biggest Modified race of 2022.
Rusty my man nice to see you both, I miss you Rusty wish I could've met with you after all the years I followed you during nascar and I never got one of many diecast sign, anyway I'm always talking to Kenny on TH-cam and it's great seeing you both sharing the good old days, you still look good Rusty maybe will see you racing again, only kidding I know you wanted out of nascar and I don't blame you, anyway stay healthy Rusty you as well Kenny you guys are the best. Cheers.
Awesome Video
Great interview. NASCAR lost me after they started the stage racing. I like the small track events best. Raced for 3 years had a ball
very good video thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it, Jim!
I notice that Schoenfeld Headers hat.Ive known the Schoenfeld's for 50 years...very awesome people...Don,Doug,Dennis,and Maridee.
in 1981 or 82 watched rusty an mark m show larry p the way around the fairgrounds
Well said Kenny
Sharon, thx for watching and commenting!
I remember the wreck Rust had at Talladega. I watch every Race they raced in. I even watched them in Springfield Missouri. That's where I still live in. Every Friday night. I used to race the Mini Stocks in 1974 & 1975. At Bolivar & Airport Speedway.
Sorry Rusty
I'm trying to race in Iracing. I've been racing with TDR racing
thx for watching and commenting, LES67B!
One of these days I'm going to meet Kenny.Hes one person I would like to meet.and hang out with him at a dirt track
Sorry have to Add I went to STURIS 1986 when I started Riding. I have a Harley Trike now after I wrecked in 2008 July 26.
Great video herm. Charlie milam says hello.
Several years ago my wife and I went to Kenny's place and bought his 1800 VTX motorcycle. He was such a great person, he spent at least 45 minutes giving us a tour and just talking ,a down home Missouri boy for sure.
that’s awesome!
Did you have him sign it?🏁
Yes, he did sign the tank.
Awesome!!!
Kenny Wallace&Rusty Wallace. Are great Drivers and people in general. Seen Kenny race alot of dirt. Races.
Great video!
I was surprised the interviewer skimmed over Tony Stewart that guy was always husky.
In all reality there is a difference between rusty and Kenny Wallace with know doutb. Don’t hate me for saying that but Kenny is entertaining 🇺🇸🇲🇽🏁👈
haha
No place like home they say? You two, and Schrader, the local trio of trubadors- home spun heroes of the heartland and the local racing community. None of you ever abandoned your deep roots. After all the tedious pitfalls and the great triumphs>>> home, once again. Welcome back. As a general car fanatic since the age of 8, many aspects of the automotive lure have held me captive my entire life. From Saturday morning treks to the neighborhood hobby shop- Charlie's Hobby Shop South St Louis- to buy all those Revell and AMT model kits. Watching ABC's Wide World of Sports. Watching their edited segments from Atlanta, Charlotte and Darlington thinking --boy I'll never get to see any of those tracks. And there were the huge swap meets, long before American Pickers were in vouge, those meets remain vital elements of gearhead life. Back when The Ray Farner Custom Autorammas with color wheels illuminating Candy Apples and all those angel haired displays-- the cool stuff came to town-- straight from the pages of Rod & Custom Magazine. Your circle of gear grinders may recall a patch of dirt just off of Forest Avenue in Valley Park just through other side of a certain railroad tunnel. Before it saw pavement I recall one particular dark marron old Ford coupe #28...although only able to get their a handful of times the place left a major impact. The hobby cars, sportsman and modifieds, Sponsers like Siveking and Berry Auto Parts. Remember that place...??? Fast forward to the late 70's and I'm a pump jockey at a Texaco. Checking tires wiping windows the garage/station where I learned the short shoe always goes in front. And right near the end I got to witness the last days of Lakehill, driving my old 47 Kaiser out there on many a Sunday night. Oh the cars I've had..even a few muscle cars. The problem was--by the the time any muscle car fell into my hands>>> it was in dire need of steroids. I could ramble on and on here....Merry Christmas to you Kenny and to your brothers and to Schrader...
ramblings, thx for watching and commenting, love your passion and Merry Christmas!
@@KennyWallace36 Yep all the cars and the mark they have left on us...They have instilled a deep passion. Best of the holidays to you and the gang.....
I was there through it all, saw Rusty win his first cup race at Bristol, love the old days. NASCAR got too big for their britches all the sensitivity and the fan base was not happy and walked away…… I really think it goes right along with all the millennials and the woke society. Un American
Rusty you said it best. I heard you say when Earnhardt died nascar flipped a switch. Plus so many people I know left because of Toyota. Nascar will never be like
When
You were racing plus I hate these new cars. Kenny would love to meet you Florence ky. Go back to running what your manufacturers have. Love early nascar god bless
WALLACE BOYS ARE GREAT
Kevin gundaker. was another big name around the St. Louis area.
NASCARS appeal died after 2001 when Dale Sr died & after all the 70's 80's 90's drivers retired! I had Bristol, Charlotte, Darlington, Dover, Pocono, Daytona, Rockingham Race tickets every year until 2003!
Is the Raymond Beedle Rusty is talking about the famed Blue max funny car guy.
Yes, it was. He passed a few years ago.
I’m pretty sure it was Mark Martin who started that lifestyle of working out first.
Good Stuffff TY…😎💪🇺🇸
Hey thanks for the video. Hey rusty that is the only way Jeff an dale could get buy you is to take you out. I love you guys. I miss watching you too race. Nascar car sucks now. When yay we're racing I never missed a race and I haven't watched a race in 2 years.
haven't watched in 2 years?
Seen Rusty win his last race at Martinsville..Almost got hit with a piece of blacktop off turn 4 there as the track was coming to pieces all weekend..Race was stopped for 2hrs when huge pothole developed and tore up Gordon's 24 car. Drank somma the best ever grape shine that week. ✌
I left NASSCAR when toyota got involved.
Speaking of Hollywood, I just tuned in the 500 and qho do I see ? Tony Stewart in the booth , with enough protein 29 on that head , my first thought was is that the godfather? Lol .
Will any of the Wallace bros. drive in Tony Stewart’s new circuit? I liked NASCAR back when there were fights in the stands, over drivers. Fights among wives of racers! I wish they had a circuit of older young racers like Rusty and Kenny, on the NASCAR tour! Kenny please put out a schedule where you are racing!
Hey, Kenny always liked you. Never like the rest them !!!!
As a fan grew up on the Wallace boys. Rusty, Mike and Kenny. Went to school with Mike's daughter Christy. Rusty was my driver true cowboy. However, Kenny Wallace is my spirit animal lol. I like that Nascar is finally coming back around to the "roots" aspect of the sport. The venues have gotten very boring, very excited for the changes on the horizon.
thx for watching and commenting, Wesley!
@@KennyWallace36 Absolutely ! Have a Merry Christmas.
@@wesleybiggs439 you too!
I got to meet Kenny after an ASA race at Milwaukee mile, think it was 89 or 90. Rusty was also in it but fell out early. A great guy, talked to us about the race and signed some autographs.
Was Christy the one that raced?
I remember Mike's daughter drove a few races way back when and did real well but then she disappeared?
I always thought about her when Danica Patrick was racing...lol
Nobody can fill that void. The drivers are all clones. Nascar doesn't want drivers with personalities anymore. Everyone gets offended by every word spoken, its ridiculous. The days of fun are over.
I quit watching every weekend when Mark Martin retired. You guys are good but Mark was my driver . Even in the viagra car . That was hard .lol
Rudd and Rusty at Watkins Glen rivalry
Jimmy Johnson and Carl Edwards raced Motocross. "Get Woke & Go Broke" NASCAR
So Rusty says Stick and Ball Athletes and Celebrities Admire Race Car Drivers.. "Why not be both?" Marty Stewart
Motocross witch i grew up between Dilla and Broome Tioga 6 hrs to Budds alot of district families are priced out from 4 strokes travel etc etc. Piston rings rear tire ready to go by wed thurs at latest.
Guess sponsorship is key i will say attendance seems great at motocross coming back from covid
It’s not the tracks that fans don’t like !!!! It’s the car !!!! These cars there racing are clones, we want drivers to build there cars races there cars and have secrets that give them an advantage !!!
If NASCAR wants fans back then go back to the days when Lee Petty and Richard, the older guys can still compete. The sport is so closed off to family history or people with deep pockets that's it's near impossible for guys like myself and others to have a chance to drive in any division of NASCAR. So focused on kids barely old enough to drive on the street that the older fans are just over it! Give the fans older drivers to route for instead of just these kids, not taking away from their talent at all but the sport is so closed off. Have try outs like other professional sports where people can come. NASCAR may be surprised
Nascars' woke bs has killed their golden goose!
ASSCAR will never be back until the real stock race car comes back ‼️✌🏼
LARRY PHILLIPS WAS MO MAN
To have it out like the 🌶 bowl if there's a wreck and want to fight it out turns 1 and 2and beat it out of each other they should do it in nascar and make rules they always break them up no let's have it out like a hockey fight break it up after the fighter that gets the best of the other then break it up
Ha Kenny not changing any subjects. My mother was A Schrader my grandfather a Schrader and great grandfather on down the line so see where I coming from.
Kenny was the better looking kid of the two. Sorry Rusty lol.
Oh come on, Bristle died exactly when they regrooved it to have two plus lanes in the turns. That one to one n a half lane is what made Bristle old school racing (that nascar couldn't screw up like they had every other track/race). The first race with the regrooved asphalt was the last sellout at Bristle, feel free to fact check me on that.
Your brother was a racer until NASCAR money got him, then he was just another one...
Nascar may be trying to pull attendance up and network viewership also. I will never watch again because there toyotas out there. Many people state well its made now in the U.S. I do not care because it's not a Ford, Chevy, Dodge etc. Nascar turned it's back on me, a life long fan who grow up by Charlotte Motor Speedway and was able to meet many, many of the old Nascar greats. Just like the Wallace family these were racers I grew up watching since childhood. They were rough around the edges but great men unlike these luckdog pass candy asses on the tracks now. These are not the "came up the hard way" guys like the Wallace's, Earnhardt's, Allison's or any other racer pre 2001. Nascar you turned you back on us? Yep you did. You wanted to appeal to the younger trendy crowd and look....you're financially collapsing and now you want me back?? Your trendy kiddos you are pandering to have attention span of a bug hitting a windshield. Screw Nascar. That and football are never again allowed in my home. I watch Kenny and Earnhardt Jr's youtube and Stapleton42's channel. Never again Nascar don't just forget me and trying to come whining your ass back in my door. I am a proud southern boy where it all started so F. off nascandyass.
How many nascar drivers gave the finger to other nascars drivers who was the main person lol just ask
if nascar wants the fans back get races back on regular tv people cant aford cable tv .
I wondered if they could drive normal too.
the stands are not full because they have turned it into a video game. stop every 100 laps so everybody can catch up. green white checker what a joke. I used to plan my week by NASCAR, now if it happens to be on regular TV, and im not doing anything, Ill watch it. people also used to root for a certain car company. now they are all the same with decals for the parts. to call these cars mustangs and cameros are a joke. and the camry is a front wheel car. how do you relate to these. a lot of the new drivers are easy to like and follow, too bad they dont a have a good sport to drive in.
GO WOKE GO BROKE !!!!
One more comment, convince me why I should pay 70-90 thousand on a motorcycle when I ride a 16 Indian Roadmaster that I Paid 18 grand for with 16,000 miles not one issue has come up. Put the sales speech on me. I will be at Sturgis tell all the people where you will be
