I worked for cingular when Jeff was driving the 31. Met him a couple times and such a great guy. He needs to be in the Hall of Fame. Thanks for getting him on your show,
I met Jeff at the first race in New Hampshire in 93. Him and Ward were at the fans appreciation deal in Concord. Also won tickets to the race. Both him and his brother were so nice. Jeff gave my wife a hug and that was her favorite memory of the whole weekend.
He didn't wreck, he didn't make mistakes and didn't drive you in the wall! Old school hard nosed racer! And that's why he's the MAYOR!!
Jeff Gordon has entered the chat. Lol
@@DavidClark-vu3dwI mean Gordon did it to Clint Bowyer and Rusty Wallace. What’s your point?
I remember watching him and Kenseth battle at Texas and dover and I noticed in both races that jeff didn't have the best car but in the last 20 laps Jeff hounded Kenseth because Kenseth was sideways off the corner each lap and Jeff was driving it straight up off the bottom and won those races.......he outsmarted Kenseth on those days!!
Your show is getting better and better
Had the opportunity to meet Jeff and Kim when he drove for FILMAR. The small trucking company I worked for had a relationship with that team and my wife and I were in the pits multiple times. He, Kim, his father and Ward were all so nice. So much respect for them. Hey Kenny, had a chance to meet you also. Class act.
thanks for one more of my favorite drivers jeff has my vote for mayor tell jeff thanks for doing the show
I was around Jeff back in the later 80's-90 as he transitioned from Late Models to the BGN. He is by far a class act gentleman, and competitor. His wife Kim, "exceptional" is not enough to describe her and her devotion to Jeff, and later their children.
I'm fortunate to have spent time with this guy back in the day. His success then, as well as his leadership now is not a surprise. HOF'er!!
This man. Is so incredible. what he’s giving back to NASCAR. I know you know what I mean. Thank you to all you guys.
By far the best interview yet!
This or the Dale JR one.
Thanks Kenny for having these conversations with Drivers that I grew up watching and cheering for. Keep up the great work Herman.
Hell yeah Kenny! Another great one! Hey Jeff Burton! See already hooking you up and Jeff has not said a word and he said HERM! Already a great interview. WWWAAAARRRRDDDDDDDDD is how it is pronounced, lol! Ward has that deep Virginian (South Boston) twang and Jeff is closer to NC, lol! Always sound like Ward was in slow motion but he was/is straight on!
Since you have been interviewing outside of NASCAR sometimes, I would love to see you interview Scott Mclaughlin. I think it could be an amazing interview. Keep up the awesome work Kenny and hope Frankie is doing well.
Thanks for this episode, Kenny! Loved every minute of it! Been a Jeff Burton fan ever since his first win at Texas in 1997 and was always my favorite driver until the end of his career. With Harrison now in Cup the last couple of seasons, it has been a rocky start but I am hoping to see a Burton back in Victory Lane in Cup soon!
Tku Kenny for doing the podcasts, having Jeff as your guest was SO GOOD gotta Love them Burton Brothers, 💖🇨🇦👍
Kenny, I’m a big fan of your channel. I love your low-key, heart felt interviews. You bring out precious racing history with your interviews and you are extremely good at it. Keep up the great work!!
Good Morning! From Adirondacks NY😁
Thanks for he show. Factory Stock # 53, OKC
A couple of class acts
Love the Burton's, great family and Jeff is a great supporter of the Drivers. He has had a HOF career, now it is time to put him in. Has been instrumental is the evolution of safety in Nascar for 30 years. My favorite pod-cast for yours so far, great job Kenny!!!
Burton does amazing job about the cars and the driver's thank you 😊
Thank you Kenny for all the great podcast
And I know there are so many more great ones to come
Happy holidays
Jeff and also Ward were some of the good guys,,,always there but always clean racers,,,o matter who i was rootin for if one of them won,it was a good race !!! i have respect for this guy (and His brother)!!!! they are in the good guy column !!!
You have so many more of these interviews to do , another great job man 🏁🏁🏁🇺🇸
Jeff, his brother Ward, Kenny, Mark, Rusty...these guys were the creme de la creme of the business. I don't see NASCAR ever being the same again unless something drastic changes.
In the mid 90’s I was working at Ford Motor Sports. And one of my first jobs as a data collection specialist was setting up a data system in Burton’s car. I’m open track day. Where a magazine writer was invited to drive a real Roush short car for a magazine article
It was so cool to work with Jeff Burton, and Buddy Parrott. That day is great. They made us feel completely comfortable. While invading their space.
Not many people in NASCAR can say they lead every lap in a race.
Fun to watch him race. 🎉
Another awesome video Kenny. Reminds me of my late model days with the setup talks. Thanks for the walk down memory road.
45:15
Listening to Ward Burton talk has always been entertaining to me.
Ward still has one of my favorite interviews. "That's the 11th time I've gotten the hell knocked outta me it just gets frustrating after a while."
Great stuff
That Exide 99 car is one of the all time classic paint schemes
Fuckin classic man. I just bought 15 or so die casts of that scheme at Bristol this past September.
Hey Kenny, thanks for another great vid! I never got the opportunity to meet Jeff, but I met you back in 2008 when you were on Speed's NASCAR race day at NHMS. I still have the hat you and your co-hosts signed lol
Thanks Jeff! Thanks Herman for bringing us this interview.
So excited for this conversation!
Really enjoy these Kenny Conversations. 👍👍
His son Harrison drives for the Wood Brothers. A treat for any young driver.
Jeff was my favorite driver back in the day. He didn't just ride around mid pack. He raced as far to the front as his car would allow and raced clean. It broke my heart to see him leave Roush, but I understand why he felt it had to happen. He would have been lightning in a bottle in the 28 car.
Great chat!!!! Really enjoy these.
Awesome interview Kenny Thank You
Great Talk. Jeff Burton was a very good racer 👍
That was great, Kenny - learned a good bit about Jeff. Much respect! Thanks!!
Kenny
i have watched you for so long on facebook you seem like a brother lol I just watched you interview Jeff Burton on the Kenny conversation , My aunt used to live on Lookout drive in Radford Va. just a stones through up the street It is a small wourld that we live in,Love you Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both of you were dedicated!!!! That's how great drivers are gentlemen are!!!!!!!!!
Jeffs a class act
Awesome interview! I love hearing these stories. Jeff was one of my favorites back in the day and still is. His Pespi 400 win on July 4th weekend in 2000 was the first NASCAR race I ever attended in person, a great memory. Kenny, you ought to try to get Ricky Rudd on the show sometime. He was on Dale Jr.'s show a couple years back, but never had the chance to talk about the origins of his team, the Tide ride, and the '97 Brickyard win. If you do, please ask him about the rumor that he had originally wanted to pursue a Formula 1 career (mentioned by the broadcasters during one of his Dover wins in the 1980s), as well as whether he's considered running SRX.
Jeff Burton is a class act and was one hell of a driver.

WOW!!!! Great Great interview, you nailed it again. I learned alot and was reminded a TON. Love these interviews with the racers from the past....like how I didn't say old timers lol. And it's not the good old days it's the Fun Old Days.(that's just me)
Awesome episode
Kenny, great show. Jeff is a really good guy and If he said it I believed it.
This was so good
thanks Travis!
Thank you Mr. Wallace, great interview.
Jeff, you're full of it it too, you're a great driver. Get that in your hard head. You and Ward were great, talented, hard working drivers respected by fans. Especially this fan, me!!
This is a great podcast thanks Herman
Herm and Jeff! What a great show!
Keep Great content coming.
Great show
thx!
Kenny! Lol. love the spin on things happening.
Virginia accent, I love it!
A lot of racing is "Racing Luck".
Sometimes it's with you, sometimes against you.
Had Jeff has more racing luck, he could have had a career about like Mark Martin.
Jeff and Ward always kept it real and that's what matters more than winning races.
Jeff was great in the broadcasting area too.
I always like jeff when he raced i have his diecast cars and i have your too kenny.
Dale Jarrett, the big brown truckget him on what you waiting for Kenny lol love you guys almost forgot about this man
Another good video kenny keep'em coming
Herm another stellar interveiw man man oh man i sure hope u do these fer ever and after u have interveiwed all of em start over and the qusestions u fergot on the 1st one lol.Kenny more vids on ur hotrod Dirt ride man i dont know shit aboutem and really enjoy ur info and point of veiw
I think one of the biggest issues with having more big name drivers are the cars for each driver changes 5 or 6 times a years because of sponsorships. You used to be able to identify 1 driver with 1 car. For me it takes a few laps of every race to get the key drivers down of what cars they are driving. Is it red, white, green?
get rid of aero by getting the cars 6 to 10 inches off the track. get the air going under the car not over the car
The sport needs practice back Kenny to me as a thirty year fan it’s good for the fans and competition that teams get to work on their cars and bring their possible best to the race on Sunday. Now it doesn’t have to be televised but I think the sport needs it.
A whak out of Wisconnsin. I'rm right here in Huntersvile, NC.
Tell Harrison to hang it out and keep rolling!! Good stuff is coming!!!
Win.
I wish our local short track would listen to the drivers! Who's ever heard of a lap time limit and getting DQ'd for going too fast during a race?!
Caterpillar car my favorite.
Kenny, you got the great Jeff Byrd. Tell him he needs to come back to dirt. Have fun.
Somehow TH-cam unsubscribed me to this channel. I wondered where you went?
That's how my father told me u will never win a argument at my shop ok if u want to win get ur own shop love what the mayor said.
Respectful driver like Mark Martin. 👍
Mike Honcho will go out of his way that's for sure.
HORSE power 🎉
Jeff Burton is "The Warden" not "The Mayor"
LOL
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Oh and forgot my favorite driver whooped y’all’s tell in the 90’s hahahaha without naming him u know who. I’m sure there was talk about man we got to figure out something because this guy is whooping our tails.
I remember in 1999 Jeff was leading the race and I think Ward was a lap down and he was racing Jeff hard Jeff said over the radio if he wrecks me out I'm going to kill him
Some Drivers are starting to become household names again . . .
Hail Melon !
Kenny it is sad that it takes a bunch of deaths to make cars safer that is the best thing about the late Dale Srs death if he had not died I dont think we would have the HANS the Safer walls ect with out more drivers dying
Horses are for those who demand their bicycle also be capable of bad decisions.
Like Ward alot better after he wrecked Gordon under caution at Texas I realized what kind punk he really is and his son flat out stinks and does😢 deserve to be in the cup series
You Hendrick fans are nauseating.
Race to get to geather.
Jeff.. My 3 girls had horses growing up. My oldest has developed an app for horse show called Tack Box. I ran a dirt car.Then my 2 boys raced karts. Then quarter midgets. 2 very expensive deals... I have never gotten over Burton leaving your teammate whose initials are Mark Martin at the Daytona 500. You should have both finished 1 n 2. Your still a punk.
All of us make sacrifices raising families. I would trade places with you guys... Making a living competing in a sport vs competing in the owning your own business..
first driver i ever cheered for, sure wish he would wear real shoes and ditch the tennis shoes lol
IMO Nascar has the problem of they went woke a few years back. They have now officially become the Bud Light of Motorsports. That is one hell of a hole to dig out of. The new car sucks balls. I don't care how much Jeff twists it. That being said, the Mayor is a legend!
Kenny you and Jeff talked about people not noing the driver's !!! Yeah thay no them but thay don't care about thay are to damn plane to vanilla and Jeff is wrong about the fighting and arguing among the driver's Kenny that's how people become fan's of the driver's and i will tell you this you don't take the woris driver's of Nascar and put them in charge that's just stupid would you hair a parts washer to bild your race car's hell no you want the best think about that !!
Stop heat racing!!!!!
Hire who?
Let’s just decide the Championship by driver over the leader. Wow. Wasn’t that great!
Fines are why too big.Make them sit out a race. They get paid too much.
Folks… this is why we have unions. So now you get a fair days pay for a fair days work. 23/11 and front row are going to win and negotiations will reopen and they will walk away with more money. I 100% guarantee it! The sad thing in America most people are followers and sheep! I don’t care what company you work for they can afford to pay you $.50 more Per hour. If you are anti-union and think your companies are the best because they have a 401(k) match..hahahaha. That is the classic slap in the face laugh you out the door because your a sheep and you just nod your head and say thank you so much. Nascar is laughing their ass off right now. They know they’re gonna have to give more money to only two teams and the rest of them already sealed their fate. Hahahaha. Hendrix and Joe Gibbs are 1st in line to open their mouth and take it all the way down till their foreheads bump belly buttons.
