I could listen to my fellow Missourians, Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace talk all day long. Whether it's NASCAR, Dirt Racing, or life advice. Whenever that they are together, it's a treat. Love those two!
I (Bill) remember Kenny S driving a sprint car for Ray Marler, who was friends with my parents at St Francois county speedway in the very early 80s. He was fast then, and is today. My #1 racing hero!
My memory of Kenny Wallace was at Lucas Oil Stadium in Clemons Indiana. He was running in the Busch series. It was early in the race and they were coming into the pits. My friend and I have scanners and headsets. As they were coming into the pits, we heard Kenny Wallace say “Here come the nascar stars” we will never forget. I would love to have the money to keep these two or other retired racers. Keep the videos coming. Thanks for the memory’s.
Met kenny wallace and his wife kim in cesars palace around 2003 and he was on phone pitching to a prospective sponsor and his wife said give him a minute he'd love to talk to you. My wife and kim got to talking about shopping and then my wife saw the rock hanging on kims finger and then it was jewellery shopping. Kenny finished his call said sorry to make ya waiy I'm kenny. I said no sir i didn't want to bug ya but your wife told us to wait and now i think i have to take my wife shopping for rings thsnk you very much we both laughed they spent 25 minutes shooting the sgit with us and very little about racing just life in general they were great. He signed a very nice note to my father in law for me and we parted ways. Ran into them the following day and they called us by name just to see how our night had been. Two of thee nicest folks on the planet.
It's true! 4 wins isn't nearly enough for Kenny Schrader. The dude was killer in Cup but unfortunately plagued with a lot of bad luck. He had a resurgence in that 36 car!
Kenny Schrader and Rusty Wallace raced at Lake Hill Speedway in Valley Park Mo. Now I mean be incorrect but they both raced their first race there. Both their fathers raced at Lake Hill and my father as well. Kenny's dad run car No. 99 and Rusty's dad run No. 6. Kenny's first car No. when he started racing Lake Hill was 100 and Rusty's was 66. Also besides my father of course Larry Phillips was my fav driver drove car No. 75. To name some of the other drivers that raced Lake Hill besides Russ Wallace, Bill Schrader and their sons Kenny and Rusty was Jerry Sifford, Harold and Don Workman, Bob Estes, Paul McKenny, don't remember his first name a man by the sirname Lawson, Larry Phillips, and many more I forgot their names. A lot of these drivers raced at Rolla Speedway in Rolla Missouri.
Kenny Wallace is another Veteran driver that I respect.Old school hard work and did it when the purse was 30,000 dollars to win.Now it's 120,000 to win. dollars , not a million
It's also were dale earnhardt, Richard Childress, jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, cale yarborough, ned jarret........point is the greatest drivers in the world have come from dirt it's that simple
Around the 13:00 minute mark, Schrader's talking about how a young driver can start out. All that simulator talk is fine but Ken's parents had a much better idea all those years ago. Tie your kid's little lawnmower-powered car to a tree and let him go around and around and around until either the car runs out of gas or the rope breaks and the kid takes off across the yard! Mom has a heart attack but everybody else thinks it's the funniest thing they've ever seen... and the kid's giggling and calling out "Daddy, do it again, do it again!!!"
I twice deleted a long, post about the feelings I have about nascar drivers, teams, owners, and sponsors. Nascar is no longer worth the time it takes to type out how you feel about the business of nascar. I don't care if it's dirt or blacktop ... support your local track. Go watch a few races, help raise money to update the track or raise the purse so maybe the familys of the top three drivers can eat this week.
If I was head of Nascar I would put a couple of dirt track races on the schedule hell when I first started watching Nascar they had some dirt track races on the schedule and the bush series had some not that many years ago! I know one thing they better do something quick or Nascar is going to shrink back to the size they were in the 60s.
Tom Smith NASCAR Cup series needs to add two dirt oval races and two dirt “road courses” But they’d probably spoil them as it appears spoiling competitive racing is their current agenda.
@@fishhuntadventure One item that would change a lot of opinions... stop this "Stage Racing" in NASCAR!! Drop the Green Flag... everybody starts; Drop the Checkered Flag... the first car past it wins! PERIOD!!! Trying to make NASCAR more entertaining, is killing NASCAR.
With all the smoking back then and here they Said smoking is bad for people and I new. Winston was going to pull out .you could see it comming Winston was a very big in racing politics when they pulled out you knew what was going to happen .by the way kenny that was 1 of the best race you and earnhardt you pushing him he's say come on and you was comming there was no stopping you 2 he should have gave you the winnings lol .that shown alot here in iowa
No your wrong us 45 to 50 year olds are still here we just got tired of being screw out of are money by the hotels the restaurants and every other business that would double their damn fees when we would come to town so we finally started saying fuck it and took our money and spent it elsewhere until NASCAR figures that out they won't be seeing us old fucks back.
Payment is for getting to the dirt...there is no auction in nascar its just round roundy turn left go fast,,,no slide jobs no 4 wide passes,no going in to the corner 3 4 wide
Don't worry Ken at the rate Nascar is losing fans in a few years they will be able to fit at just about any dirt track! And they have no one to blame but their selves for it.
My trophies are in scuba diving I guess I should do the same and display them, but my prize possession in nascar I always wanted a Jeff Gordon autograph until you I sent out of my way for 2 day's bought a stacker 2 hat from company spoke to manager and he promised me you would sing it when it came time you signed everyone else accept mine the manager saw that grabbed my hat handed to you and you signed it to your dismay that's my prized procession all my dice cast all the flags nothing beats my signed Kenny Wallace hat it's in a case and you will always be my favorite driver also best attitude which goes a long way still looking for Gordon tough your the man I'm your number 1 fan now I'm going to buy more stuff Tshirt stuff like that what can I do to get an autograph from you again luv your 1 fan now and forever your the man no b.s and please give your lovely wife a kiss luv her too.
NASCAR has forgotten its roots ... It's all about corporations and kissing their asses .. Well that works for little while . But the fans know better. NASCAR thought it would emulate football . The way they did the points in the way they promoted the races . Will now the fans can see it for what it is . And they know how to make you pay they just don't show up . But the dirt tracks thrive . Because they listen to their fans . This week we had Coliseum racing how stupid can that be . A bicycle track and they want to race cars on it . Doesn't showcase driver's ability at all . No NASCAR still doesn't get it but they will ..........................................

That was a great session you guys need to have more of them 🏁🏁🏁
I'm wondering who thought it was a good idea to sit Kenny Schrader and Kenny Wallace down for an extended chat with only one microphone.
Met kenny wallace and his wife kim in cesars palace around 2003 and he was on phone pitching to a prospective sponsor and his wife said give him a minute he'd love to talk to you.

I love Kenny Wallace Nascar should have him on the pay roll for what ever he wanted because I've never seen a better promoter of racing in my life.
Well John Force, Schrader, Tony Stewart, Ken Squire, Robbie Gordon...
4 years later and nascar cup cars race on dirt!!! Good stuff in this video
It's true! 4 wins isn't nearly enough for Kenny Schrader. The dude was killer in Cup but unfortunately plagued with a lot of bad luck. He had a resurgence in that 36 car!
I am originally from Pennsylvania.i have went to college in North Carolina and lived in North Carolina for 25 years.
Larry Phillips, the midwest legend was as good as it gets on a short track.
The Richard petty of short track.
Awesome video!!! If you want to know anything about racing Schrader and Wallace are the ones to ask. They have race in everytjing.
Love Kenny "spend ALL your money ! Go racing, have a blast! Make memories!"
Thanks for the video.... really enjoyed it...

Love those two!

NASCAR sponsor's our dirt track in Coos Bay!
Kenny Wallace is another Veteran driver that I respect.Old school hard work and did it when the purse was 30,000 dollars to win.Now it's 120,000 to win.
dollars , not a million
It's true!! Dirt guys are the foundation of all racing🏁😎
Great Show
Those guy's are great, funny and have a real zest for life.
Have Dave despain and Kenny Wallace call the races on TV and I guarantee the viewership numbers will triple.
Wish NASCAR would do 2-3 races on dirt! If you are a race car driver you should be able to race any track any car!!
Good advice!
It's also were dale earnhardt, Richard Childress, jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, cale yarborough, ned jarret........point is the greatest drivers in the world have come from dirt it's that simple

NASCAR has personality. Dirt trackers have attitude.

Both former team mates of Andy Petree Racing in 1999.

Kenny is the shit big fan Kenny your the man !
Go to a local dirt track Outlaw race, then go to a Cup race, which one do you feel more comfortable? Period.
My how things have changed
That is Xfinity series 120,000 to 150,000 to win verses Monster Energy Cup Series 400,000 to1 million to win.
i thought Trucks did do dirt this year
I think that's only at Tony Stewart's place at Eldora and that's one race per season.
When we forget where we come from we eventually get lost
With all the smoking back then and here they Said smoking is bad for people and I new. Winston was going to pull out .you could see it comming Winston was a very big in racing politics when they pulled out you knew what was going to happen .by the way kenny that was 1 of the best race you and earnhardt you pushing him he's say come on and you was comming there was no stopping you 2 he should have gave you the winnings lol .that shown alot here in iowa

KENNY G
When foreign cars became the norm of Nascar the people left. Toyota, the same great people that brought you WWII!!!!
Don't worry Ken at the rate Nascar is losing fans in a few years they will be able to fit at just about any dirt track! And they have no one to blame but their selves for it.
Nascar sucks . Rather be running my modified
Dirt is for racing asphalt is forgetting there.
Herm is loaded with common sense . YEP . Winner !
Hiring kids who race a on a computer.......no dues paid there.......I wouldn't hire any of them......look at the drivers you have today!!!!THEY STINK
