Yesterday you asked about where the ‘90’s fans went. Watching Dr Punch is definitely 90’s. Bring doc back to the weekly broadcast again. Give him a microphone on the weekends and let him work out on pit road again. He was the best!
Dr Jerry Punch to me to this day is the best pit road reporter of all time n to do that job plus be a Dr when needed on pit road, you need to be a very special n talented individual. Everyone should be thankful for all the lives he has helped or has saved within the racing community.
I meet Dr. Punch when Ernie Irvan crashed at Michigan in the 28 car. He and Benny Parsons brought us subs and filled us in on Ernie, that was a horrible crash and the Dr calmed us down with his explanation of what was happening. I’m glad he did this interview with you.
ESPN, Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett, Benny Parson in the booth, Dr Jerry Punch and Dick Bergren. . . The absolute best lineup of TV announcers and reports ever. Best coverage no other network even comes close.
I love this story!!! I also love Jerry's story regarding Dale Earnhardt sending a guy in a four-wheel drive to Jerry's place when Jerry was out of town, his wife was eight months pregnant, and a snowstorm was happening!!! Such a great guy!!! Thank, Kenny!!!!
Kenny, you know how great it was to see Dr. Jerry Punch again? Great! He looks terrific and adds a calm demeanor to racing. Always has. Thank you so much for having him on with you and telling the scary story of Rusty’s crash on Hoosier tires. Come back, Dr. Punch, if you’ve still got the desire. So many incidents happened and he was right there on the scene. ❤️
There are people in this world that are put on this earth to be in the right place at the right time to help others when they are needed the most. That and the NASCAR community has always watched out for each other. Dr. Jerry Punch is very special to NASCAR.
Those old school drivers were another breed...! They had balls of steel...!! Their wives and families are superstars too...!!! Rock Dr Punch...!! You are a legend...!!! Thanks for sharing... Keep up your awesomeness...!
Dr. Jerry is such a legend, and soooo smart. He hasn't aged a bit! My neighbor's mom worked with Dr Jerry in trauma at Methodist in Indy. I remember when that happened at Bristol. My heart was in my throat since Rusty was my favorite. I got goosebumps listening and watching all over again. Thanks Kenny
Sure do miss Dr Jerry Punch talking with the drivers. He had the respect of all the drivers and fans. He was always there if a medical emergency was needed. Great respect. Happy to hear his voice again. Brings back great memories of racing
We miss you, Dr. Jerry Punch. It reminds me of the old days the good days I still love NASCAR, but I miss my heroes today’s NASCAR is a sport, but NASCAR of those days they were my heroes on the track they were giants among men.
Dr. Punch is a legend and had to be loved by all drivers. Just a cool under pressure doc, so many stories of him running to the rescue. So many lives saved by this man.
Hey Doc. Awesome to see ya again man. You’re looking brother. Miss ya on the tv doing play by play and interviews. Maybe some day they’ll get ya on during Darlington throw back and let ya call the race. That would be awesome.
Humble hero of NASCAR. Some Michigan fans may remember another time Dr Punch saved a drivers life… I love hearing stories from Nascars past, Kenny great job keep em up.
Dr.s that live for the sport they love are the best. Dr. Punch, the Dr. that works ringside at the Bare Knuckle Fighting BKFC etc, are some of the best promoters.
Think about the safety that’s improved since these days. Lately, as I drive the interstates and roads around where I live with my family, I catch myself thinking Im in a death box.
I remember your Brother Rusty Telling this story about eating a ham sandwich n almost choking to death on it after a practice crash at Bristol. Thank you Jerry Punch for saving the life of my 1st Favorite Driver Rusty Wallace. Thank you Kenny ❤
Yea, the spirit of past NASCAR...thank you Dr. Punch! I had no time for Rusty but wanted to see honest competition on the track, NOT something like this causing a loss. Love hearing these stories about drivers and their relationships of the past.
Last summer my in laws bought a dining room table and chairs from a couple in Knoxville, TN. Being the good son in law I am (and having a truck), I met them at the couple’s house to pick it up. I pull in the driveway, and none other than Dr. Punch was standing there. We stood and talked for probably 30 minutes, me just listening to Doc tell story after story. INCREDIBLY nice man!!
Dr punch is a legend just for being a good man. He saved my life just based on sight. Saw i had swollen lymph nodes and i got it checked out and solved.
I've said for years and years, I always wanted to meet the 2 non-driver/owner men who brought my favorite sport to life: Winston Kelly and Dr. Jerry Punch. I'll get to the NASCAR HOF one day and meet Winston but unless some broadcasting service offers this man an on-aur, at the track gig that he will accept, I'm relegated to watching his guest appearances. The wealth of knowledge and stories and people experience locked away in Doc's head is truly mindboggling. I'd buy two copies if he'd write a book about NASCAR during the ESPN years.
Great Content Ty KW, Ole Doc singing Karaoke with Ray Dunlap at the Caribbean club Key Largo 98. What a trip and great fun. Ole Dock could nurse a beer all night long. Always as sober as a judge as he cared about the drivers first and foremost always. Great Person DR Jerry Punch. You Too KW. You good dude too. Ciao
I'd still like to know why Rusty had blood trickling out the corners of his mouth like Doc said ? Ham sandwich wouldn't look like blood. I've always slugged down cold Cokes and at the track too. I had a bad wreck at Highland Rim speedway Tenn. in a limited car, early 80's, impact jerked one shoe off & nearly strangled me to death from all that Coke foam coming up my windpipe. Every track needs a Dr. Punch.
He saved more than one life in them pits,and is loved by everyone including us fans!Miss the heyday of NASCAR and all the people that were a part of my day on Fox,Never missed a race,sorry NFL!
I never knew this story...kinda like I never knew, until he passed... what A Genuine Good guy Dale Sr. was.... I hated him for always wrecking Rusty. Thought he was an A-Hole. I felt like an idiot when all the stories about what a sweet man he was came out after his death....AND.... I NEVER would of dreamed he and Rusty were buds!!! lol God Bless the Dr.!!! I knew I liked him for a reason! and he IS a legend! 🤙
Man I miss Dr. Punch. I really wish he'd get a shot in the booth again with someone. He was always my favorite pit reporter and announcer. Dr Punch looks like he hasn't aged a day haha
One of the best in the business at medicine and at pit and race reporting. I sure do miss that guy on the tube. They need to get some old guys back on the TV crew for the throw back races, like Darlington. Kenny, can you cover the messages that Earnhardt, Elliott and i think Rusty too had on the back of their cars, ragging each other. There were also some practical jokes going on back then too.
Extremely happy to see doc Punch he is the best pit reporter to ever walk down pit road, the girls and guys that are pit road reporters today don't make a pimple on doc Punches a**!!!! Good job Herman thank you for talking with doc Punch Please do a show with doc but make it at least one hour long
Man, Dr Jerry Punch looks as young as ever. I miss his voice during races. One of the best.
Yesterday you asked about where the ‘90’s fans went. Watching Dr Punch is definitely 90’s. Bring doc back to the weekly broadcast again. Give him a microphone on the weekends and let him work out on pit road again. He was the best!
Agreed. The higher IQ and articulate speech was always welcome.😂
Exactly and being from NC and being in the sport. He’s almost got this style that’s solely his own.
Dr Jerry Punch to me to this day is the best pit road reporter of all time n to do that job plus be a Dr when needed on pit road, you need to be a very special n talented individual. Everyone should be thankful for all the lives he has helped or has saved within the racing community.
Jerry Punch and Dick Bergerren.
Dick's leather jacket, hat, and PhD reporting from pit road were pretty cool to this kid.
Dr. Jerry Punch is/was the Pinnacle of Reporters IMO.
Good to see him with Kenny.👍🏽

You can tell how humble the Doc is. What a class act!
Well said ! Thanks man -
Doc needs to be in the Hall of Fame.
Doc is just absolute favorite person ever involved in nascar. He’s saved more than one life.
Dr Jerry Punch…in the Racing dictionary the definition reads this way…National Treasure!

Very Very cool.
Great show 😊
I think your the one heartbroken the 80s and 90s are gone. Its two thirds of your content!
I've always had a big problem with Kurt Busch, for the way he acted towards this man, many years ago. It is my great hope that Kurt, apologized. . .
"Why would you do that?"🤣 Great to hear from the Doc!
That’s crazy
