John had a BLAST with Kenny! We hope everyone enjoys this episode of the Kenny Conversation.
This was awesome!
HELL YA we enjoyed I think all of us could listen to John Force all day lol
John Love ya man, Keeping Racing and Winning! Kenny I watched that 1 hour 16 min. I swear to the Lord that was five hours, maybe more, of Content. Im plum worn Out. That was a WORLD SERIES champion game, A DAYTONA, A NHRA NATIONALS CHAMPIONSHIP battle all rolled into one. WOW Ive watched him since i was a kid, and Never learned as much about him or Racing than I just did in one Hour. More about life, manhood, success, business. DAMN. Thank you Kenny, and John Force. Tv is so Quick..ten secound sound bites. Learning who John force really is was amazing. I never cared for him, I knew he was good, but his energy was fierce and some how was scary or iritating. But spending and hour with him, I realize im like him and Hes a good loving, intense guy. Always driven to be the best or to make someone proud, while realizing eyes where on them too. My kind of guy. When I was a Police officer, people would say I scared them, with my intestity. "I WAS DIFFERENT AT WORK" Guess thats who I saw, John Force at work, but to see him for an hour at "home" . I gotta say I love the Dude. Great PodCast. ps. Thats whats missing in out ten second soundbite world. the person. Great Job Kenny!
This is Gold!! 😂👍
100% awesome.
Ya gotta love John Force , so much fun to listen to , great stories and loves his family and fans dearly ! Tough as nails with a soft loving heart .
Kenny finally meets someone who talks faster and more than he does.
I'm just watching this now love it herm you have competition in talking both of you I could listen to all day excellent
Dude is a legend and still one of the most down to earth people you will ever meet 💪🤠🤘
This is the epitome of the "Kenny Conversation." It zigs and zags but, is full of great stories and insight on motorsports and the people that are involved in it.
I have been a Force Fan for 35yrs, met him many times, drank and gambled with him, great genuine guy. Watching him and Kenny is like watching a couple of strung out squirrels!! Lol, great interview, love both these guys..
That interview was worth ever MINUTE of it. Thank You Kenny and John.
My dad was an amateur racer and John has always been his favorite and therefor became mine. I've been able to shake Johns hand in the pits more than once. He's an amazing person and one hell of a character. What a legend
John and Austin Coil were a great team. John's big personallity and Castrol made Funny Car and drag racing. John and Kenny two great personallity. Thanks from Maple Grove and Pa.
Fantastic interview between two larger-than-life individuals. God bless both of you. I was at the Dallas race when John Force crashed, Kenny Bernstein was in the other lane. I'm so glad John Force was able to survive and thrive.
I’m big on NASCAR and have been since 1964. Buying tickets, t shirts, bumpers stickers, key chains basically all their merchandise AND WHEN I INCLUDED NHRA JOHN FORCE IS NUMBER ONE IN MY BOOK AND THE MAIN REASON IS HOW MUCH HE LOVES THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND HIS FAMILY. John is God First family second and then himself. Now since my Dad was a preacher growing up anyone who gives the Lord Praise like John i am with them in their camp.
HALLELUJAH
THANK YOU JESUS !!!
John simply adores his wife and daughters!!!!!!!!!!
I don't even have to watch this and know it's good. A whole bunch of energy there
Kenny John Force's the best interview in all of Motorsports
John is a legend. He's done it all. Last seasons crash has ended his career.
2 guys who tell it like it is! 👍🇺🇸
Watching this from New Zealand, watched JF at Pomona in the 90s, this is so good, it made me laugh 😂 both great people.
Love this! Can you imagine being in the room with Kenny and Force. You couldn't say a word if you wanted too😂 they both can talk a storm!
Jumping the fence in Seattle was epic..made me cry happy tears
John Force is AWESOME 😂 LEGEND ❤
Your best interview yet! If any of you that have watched this and made a comment and have never attended an NHRA event you need to go to one. I’ve been to 80 events in 36 years and it’s the very best sport on the planet.
Yes! The smell of nitro and rubber, the sound , and the way it all leads up to a final on Sunday. Glad for everyone's safety.
One of my greatest regrets is not seeing an NHRA event. I would always tell myself that next year will be the year I go. Something always came up so it was always next year. I really wish I would have made time to see one.
Dale Jr has a great interview also with John,,the Goat of Nhra
There is only one John Force. He is the real deal. Loved the story. It could have been a movie. From a nobody to a legend. Another, that was the best video ever.✌️
I remember when John won his first funny car race they went to interview him and he was crying and he had no words
I've been a NHRA fan since I was 5yrs old. My dad took me to a NHRA 32 Funny car shootout. But evolved as a young adult to a full blown NASCAR fan, hence diminishing my NHRA likeness. So John's take on Tony bringing NASCAR fans to NHRA is absolute, cause once I heard Tony was running NHRA I started paying attention again and even went to the NW Nationals last summer for the 1st time in about 10yrs.
Awesome interview Kenny. Im still racing at 65 .Started in 1977 at two local dirt tracks in Southern Ontario Canada. Thanks again for the awesome interview may the FORCE be with you. 😊
I could listen to you guys talk for months. This one leaves me wanting more. As always great job Kenny! John is a legend in so many ways. Beautiful human being!

I am from gainesville Florida and one year in the 90s as a kid during the gatornationals i met this man at outback steakhouse or texas roadhouse, i cant remember, but he was so docile and talked so slow... i almost didn't recognize him. If it wasnt for the castrol grx shirt he was wearing i dont think i would have known it was him. At the end ofhe1/4 mile, he is talkk g so fast its crazyhow much different he is anywhere else other than after that 320 mph run
Cletus McFarland was on a drag and drive that stopped at John's shop , Mr force was out checking out the door slammers and left a fingerprint on a hot turbo 😂 I wonder if he remembers
Just saw John in Bradenton Florida. Great guy and even better story teller
I am 55 years old and remember as a young kid when he lived in SoCal going to his house and sitting in his car. He started out at Lyons Drag Strip in Long Beach, CA. My Dad and Uncle use to help him out.
Love, love, love this interview with John.
John, we loved every story you told. Can't wait for the season to start. GL in Bradenton!
Kenny I’m exactly the same as you and John when it comes to be hyperactive. My brain never stops running and always on the move. I agree movies are the one thing that relaxes me too
I’ve waited for this one. Two of my favorite guys!!! This was awesome.
Gentleman, if I may I'd like to say thank u from my heart! I just watched this and I felt like I was sitting right there with u two laughing and chatting. Just like I once did my dad of all people. In this very moment in time I needed that more then I could ever convey to u both! Two legends!
A chicago fan!

What a great interview...John Force...is a living legend. Kenny asked the questions that I would of asked...good job Kenny...keep up the good work.
Thanks Kenny 👍. You knocked it out of the park. What a fun interview with John 😂.
I just turned 47, don't feel it, no look it, don't admit it. I haven't achieved what I believe I'm meant too yet, and watching this is an inspiration to stay in the game. If I became a drag racer today, I'd have a 27 year career before I got John's age...
thanks for bringing drag racers on Kenny
When I was in the Boy Scouts, I made a funny car derby wood car, identical to his 92 car, he signed it and tried to come but couldn’t make it, but I still have that derby car and one of my most prized possessions.
Kenny this with John going blow your comments out 3 ball parks good job Kenny an john
I’ve been a John force fan longer than I can remember my dad my grandpa my uncle my sister my brother my mom my cousins pretty much my whole family were all John forces fans and we’re all fans of his girls and son in-laws and Patrons and Austin coil and John and Eric medlin but John force has been one of my biggest heroes longer than I can remember. That’s a fact I can’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t a John force fan so thank you John force you have never let me down as a fan we love you John and it’s not just about all the championship s it’s you as a person you’re awesome god bless you John and thank you again
49 years. Unbelievable. I met John at Brainerd raceway a few years ago. Super nice guy and he appreciates his fans.
YOU GO JOHN AND KENNY !
Kenny The best interview you ever have. You and Force are wild. Loved it
John is fantastic…. Love listening to John..he the best
John is so awesome!! The best part is he's a man of God!!!!
This was amazing uncle kenny. Thankyou. Drag racing is my first love. The dale jr download with him is a riot also. Have a good weekend sir.

Great to see the Force and much appreciated conversation! You the man Kenny !
Thx Ermint!
I think that was the best one yet.
Loved it!!!!
2 of the best personalities in racing. ❤
John is such an awesome story teller I could listen to him all day❤
The Force family - all of them - are my heroes. Thank you for this wonderful interview. Best wishes.
This is awesome,keep up all the good work! You guys are passion driven individuals and this is one of my favorite interviews to date!
The G.O.A.T.,, a living legend,, Mr John Force. Kenny asked John if he thinks perhaps there's another racer out there like him,, John said there likely is BUT WE FANS SAY,, "There's NO WAY there can ever be another John Force,, NEVER because GOD broke the mold after he made John Force!" I'm a year older than John and consider myself fortunate to have been a fan of drag racing long enough to remember watching John begin and to watch him rise to the level of celebrity he is today. We'll be watching him as long as he continues involvement in drag racing. We pray, GOD Bless and protect John and his team,, Amen.
Absolutely awesome, Thank you Kenny and John
Force is Awesome! Thanks Kenny!
Great interview..I'm 64yo and have been an NHRA fan since 1973. The Wendy's story is a classic. And Kenny you were right...Amazing Stories !!!!!!!!!!!!!
the wendys story, showed me, i got to want it more and take the chance. as the kids would say "risk it for the Bisquit"
Love it. Be fun to see more.
PLEASE GO SEE DON GARLETS MUSEM, Would love to see you interview? The greatest drag racer of all time while he is still so amazingly alive at ninety two
Thank you Kenny. Love this.

Let me just say this, I’m a Tony Stewart fan in NASCAR,but in NHRA John Force is my guy and his family as well. Sorry Tony. John Force is just bad ass.
That was an awesome interview with John Force loved hearing how he got started in drag racing.
Kenny that was an amazing interview with John i've always looked up to him for years I started going to indy in the mid 80's and done it for 20 yrs just to watch john at th u.s.nationals from my dragracing days with Don Onken to working on the sprintcar and latemodels its been a ride.👍
Thanks for the awesome interviews! I so look forward to the great knowledge and entertainment!!!
Kenny is barely older than me, i'm a lifelong Nascar fan, and work at GM, but he is true to his word, as am I. Great guy. Speaks from the heart and tells you what he believes, Best quotes!

Thank you Kenny this was awesome
HACK ME kENNY, HACK ME, NOW jOHN FORCE THE TRAILER. THIS MAN HAS THE HEART.
I love John. He's one of a few people who is at the absolute pinnacle of his profession, who everyone loves.
Man, I’m 14 but man I a fan of you Kenny. I love NASCAR history from the roots of the sport. And I like you as a driver, and your brother Rusty as well. I have many die casts of your car, like your Cox 36 car, your 81 car, and your 55 car from 2000 were you almost won at Talladega but lost to Dale Earnhardt. And I was first introduced when I saw a video about how Brett bodine won a race due to NASCAR officials giving him the win due to you spinning out 😂. But you are a journeyman driver, and I respect you for that. I hope you have a good day Kenny 👍
Thanks Wyatt!
@@KennyWallace36 Thank you Kenny!
I’d love to have a beer with both of them!
GOÐ BLESS JOHN FORCE
Kenny, Force is you match in an interview! Best interview ever.
That was awesome!! What a guy!
Kenny, that was AWESOME !!! I love you and John both, two great men 👍👍
Great great show!!!!!!
I love listening to you guys, you are the best. I remember back in the 1980's I was at PIR with some friends in the infield. They had pit passes and garage passes so I went into the garage and watched the guys and someone next to me had a foreign accent, but I didn't recognize him at first then it came to me it was Emerson Fittipaldi that just won Indy. As I walked outside I was looking into the garage, I looked next to me and it was John Force just watching. I always loved his attitude so I look over to him and just say John, I love watching you. Keep up the great job and have fun. Then I turned to leave him alone but someone heard me and recognized him from what I said to him and he got mobbed. I always felt bad because he was just trying to be one of the crowd and I blew it for him.
One other time I was taking photos for a race and ended up in the hauler trailer with Ricky Johnson and Bryce Menzies, they treated me just like John would, like a friend.
Keep it going. The fun is in the memories.
Don
I’m exhausted lol so awesome
haha, yes!
Best interview ever. Force is GOLD
Mr force is hilarious. Love the story about his daughter beating him. Great interview love the insight into him. Great message about remembering how you got where you are.
my daughter knows i can hardly let her win at anything, i try to do better, but whatever it is, the competiveness, I HATE TO LOSE, and even if its my kid, I PLAY TO WIN. grew up playing football, baseball. The guys or woman i respected, were the ones that outsmarted you, knocked you on your ass. That was the one I wanted to beat! warrior mindeset
Mr Force is the man and is a testament to all of us that still compete in competitive sports. But most of the leason of never quit and follow your dreams . Great video by both men in this video!
Kenny, don't ever stop doing what you're doing. Love the show.
What a solid interview! 2 absolute machines in the racing world.
what does he have physically and mentally that other drivers dont have???
#1 his adrenaline pumps faster that his engine burns fuel in 3 seconds. After the chutes fall and the eninge is off and the car is stopped, his heart beat, adrenaline and mouth are still going well over 320mph.
#2 he's john friggin force
#3 he's john friggin force
#4 he's john friggin force
