The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media. I'm looking at Kenny Schrader right now.
- [01:18]
Kenny Schrader
He is a drinker in the show. I mean.
- [01:20]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. How in the world did we agree to do a podcast?
- [01:25]
Kenny Schrader
I like spending time with you.
- [01:27]
Herman Schrader
That makes me happy.
- [01:28]
Kenny Schrader
Well, it's all about making you happ.
- [01:31]
Herman Schrader
We're always honest.
- [01:32]
Kenny Schrader
We don't know that we're not in trouble already, you know, and sometimes truthful. What makes you think you're not a little different? You're weird too.
- [01:42]
Herman Schrader
Herman Schrader. So it was a big weekend, Thanksgiving weekend. What did you do? Kenny Schrader?
- [01:54]
Kenny Schrader
Well, we had people over a mishmash people over Thursday. And we didn't leave Thursday night to go to Columbus, Mississippi Magnolia Speedway to race because Johnny Stokes made a good call because of weather to. To cancel the races down Mississippi this weekend. So I didn't race. So Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I spent all three days in the shop by myself piddling. Got a lot done.
- [02:25]
Herman Schrader
Well, I'm just laughing because I know you like a book. How many. How many little bitty signs did you make in the shop? You know?
- [02:32]
Kenny Schrader
Well, I didn't make any signs. I made list. I made list. And. And the boys are out there working on the list now, so. But they. You don't need to make them list. They know what to do.
- [02:43]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I like your organizational skills. All right, so we got a lot to get To. So what'd you do? Yeah, Kim, she is big into family. So we had 40 people at Thanksgiving.
- [02:58]
Kenny Schrader
That's great.
- [02:59]
Herman Schrader
It was a wonderful Thanksgiving. Could not have been any better. And then I decided to do so. I felt a little guilty, but I decided to try it. Once I came down to my living room and I got on Netflix and really got hooked on this documentary about. Let me see if I can get this right. It was, it was called buried. It was 1982, Alpine Meadows. There was a horrible avalanche, killed seven people. But boy, I really get hooked. I get hooked on real, real things, you know, documentaries and.
- [03:37]
Kenny Schrader
Right.
- [03:37]
Herman Schrader
But that was right at the edge of Lake. Lake Tahoe. The Lake Tahoe Shores, Alpine Meadows. And, you know, it was. It was really a sad documentary. But the reason it was called Buried is, you know, they pretty much found everybody and they had a German shepherd in there. And this was snow. Oh, yeah. Avalanche.
- [04:00]
Kenny Schrader
Big snow.
- [04:01]
Herman Schrader
Big, big snow. Avalanche. But that dog went to barking. But it got so bad, there were still avalanche warnings. They had to call the search off. Two days later they came back. This lady was buried for five days and. And they found her. And she lived. She lived, she lived. But they had to amputate one leg laying under the snow. You know, she was bait, basically. She was in one of the buildings in these, these lockers that you would put your snow gear in. They fell down around her, these lockers. They saved her life because. Yeah, yeah, okay. So that's really. I was bored. But, you know, we had a great Thanksgiving, watched some Netflix and what did I do last night? You know, one little thing I did is, you know, I got security system like you do, but you got these little batteries on every little window.
- [05:00]
Kenny Schrader
You know how to work yours? We don't. We got a smart tv and we can't watch TV now because we're not as smart as a tv.
- [05:08]
Herman Schrader
What the. Things start beeping so these batteries go bad. I replaced like 16 of these little bitty nickel sized batteries and everyone, you know, a couple two, three year old batteries. And that was painful. All right, so that's what we did. And boy, do we got a lot to get to. Hey, I know that you've always been racing on Thanksgiving. You always have, always. But I have never realized what big races there were. But let's go to NASCAR right away and we'll get to all the turkey races because you're the professional at the turkey races. No, no doubt.
- [05:47]
Kenny Schrader
I don't know about that.
- [05:48]
Herman Schrader
But listen, I want to congratulate you on Something, let's start it off like this. I was on Facebook and there it was on the Federated Auto Parts Facebook site. I want to get it right because I wrote it down here. Federated recognizes 25 year partnership with Kenny Schrader and especially to Get Dirty program. Kenny Schrader 25 years with Federated?
- [06:17]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, they've been great. They've been great. They're, you know, it's a great company. We're fortunate that that whole deal just kind of, this kind of happened. It was just a phone call and you know, they've, we try to do about any damn thing they want and in turn they, they let us do pretty much what we want and nobody does anything without talking to anybody first. But it's, they're a good, good company and we've met a lot of good people throughout the country that are Federated members that we go to their, their area and, and do the Get Dirty days and just had a lot of fun with them. Hopefully goes a little longer.
- [06:59]
Herman Schrader
I, I think I, I don't see it ending now if you've gone 25 years. So what kind of advice there, there's not a lot of people like you and I'm going to add me in there. We're, we work hard to make sure our sponsors are happy. You and I understand that we got to sell product first. What is your advice to the racers out there to keep up a 25 year sponsorship relationship?
- [07:29]
Kenny Schrader
Well, just, you know, you can't, you can't do it with just any company because we've been through some leadership changes and been able to make it through all of them. But a lot of times you'll have a leadership change and the whole company philosophy will change as far as what they're going to do as far as marketing and stuff. But basically they're the boss and you know, do what they, they want. But we've just been fortunate to have a partner instead of just a sponsor.
- [08:00]
Herman Schrader
I want to say a couple more things so people understand the magnitude of, when you say we do what they want you to do. I see you put the effort in. You get the big tractor trailer, you carry the five modifieds. Get dirty with Kenny. What, let's end like this. What is that program about? What do you do with those modifieds?
- [08:22]
Kenny Schrader
We take, we take cars and we've been coast to coast. We've been Washington, Oregon, California, Maine, New Hampshire, down Florida, South Texas, all over. We'll take five cars to the racetrack. The local Federated member will bring out 20 of their customers and we'll sit them all down, talk to them and we turn them loose two at a time, two at a time, two at a time. So that, that way that there's a chance of a multi car accident.
- [08:55]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Only two wreck.
- [08:58]
Kenny Schrader
They'll, they'll come in and they'll run eight, 10 laps depending on track and they'll tell you how fast they were and they said boy you look pretty good and get, climb in the right seat of this thing and then we give them a ride in a two seater.
- [09:10]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [09:11]
Kenny Schrader
And you know I've been lucky the last couple years. I haven't wrecked it. I was, I was wrecking the hell out of the two seater. Just, just playing before but been a little more careful now that we're doing it more. We've done it as many as 60 nights in a year. I think this year we some rain and stuff. We only did it a little over 30 but we'll load up and go a couple hundred miles and usually when we do it we'll have either five or 10 of them in a row. Three trips to Canada last year. A lot of good Federated members up there. So it's a lot of fun.
- [09:47]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, listen up everybody. Listen to what he said. You got to work hard to keep those sponsors. You cannot just put a decal on.
- [09:54]
Kenny Schrader
You got to get lucky too.
- [09:56]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, well, you got the good personality, Kenny. I think people can learn from you. So. All right, NASCAR Hot Topics. We're moving right along here and we talked about this but boy, we're going to run out of news. And NASCAR makes sure that, that we keep these NASCAR Hot Topics going. And Joey Logano on Kenny conversation. Joey Logano brought up something that made everybody in the sport go oh my God, he just told the truth. And Joey Logano said, I'm going to tell you what he said then I want your response. He said at the start of the year they create this chart and the team members, the crew members, they look at this chart and you know like if we win three races. Well he, you know he won the all star race. He won like four races, you know, if we do this. And he said they accomplished every single one of their goals. So I'm assuming, I never asked him why. He just didn't write checks. But team bonuses. He, he goes to the bank. Kenny Schrader, Joey Logan goes to the bank, gets over $200,000 in paper money, $100 bills. He's driving it to the Penske race shop and he says he's a Little afraid because he's got over a quarter million dollars in cash. Calls all the team members into the room and he says, just like a gangster, he drums, he drops all this money out. Badass removed. But what is, what is your opinion on that?
- [11:42]
Kenny Schrader
We've, we've obviously at Shredder Racing and even when I was driving the cup cars, especially at Hendrick, we've had team bonuses forever. A lot of times I think Petrie was a furry first one or maybe, maybe Rick later. Last couple years I was there, which we took a percentage of the purse. So. A percentage, you know, part of it was my percentage, part of it was the team's percentage and we put that in the crew bonuses. So at the end of the year it was just a lot simpler. This is how much money there is. But if you win the championship, you know, it's obviously different. I don't know about the cash deal and I don't know how all that works. And that's a lot of money to be spreading around. I don't know how you do it tax wise and everything, but not my, not my deal to worry about. But it just makes me happy. Which, you know, Joey realizes the situation he's in, how many good people he's got behind him and he's obviously taking care of them.
- [12:53]
Herman Schrader
You know, when I talk to my cousin Timmy who is one of the top five employees at Penske, he says, you know, and we know this, I'm just letting everybody know this, Listen, Roger Penske, I mean that's a jam up company. One of the best companies in America. You know, he's got thousands and thousands of employees. But Timmy says everything is so straight up there and they really, you know, include those, those employees and everything. And Timmy Wallace says that they really count on those, those bonuses. And I want to share something with you that I learned years ago when, when I was young and didn't really know what to do. Jeff Hammond told me this. He said don't start something you cannot keep up. So. Right. I started with $500 for each crew member and at least I knew I could hopefully get. Keep it at 500. What, what's your thought? It's starting and keeping that consistency up of bonuses for your employees.
- [13:58]
Kenny Schrader
Well, a bonus is, you know, it's hard to count on a bonus in my mind. But I'm old. But a bonuses. When you go above, beyond, you do good. You can't count on a bonus in January when you don't know what kind of year you're going to Have.
- [14:18]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, you know, good point.
- [14:20]
Kenny Schrader
I mean, so I don't know, but obviously, like I said, when you're doing just so much a person or something, I. I would definitely make it where it's got to be something you can keep up. But if you have a structured bonus that's paid off according to your performance, it's hard for the employee to count on it when you don't know.
- [14:40]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [14:40]
Kenny Schrader
How you're going to do.
- [14:42]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. All right, Bonuses in nascar. There you have it, everybody. Joey Logano just badassery dumps a quarter of a million dollars worth of cash.
- [14:51]
Kenny Schrader
That'd be kind of fun, y'all.
- [14:53]
Herman Schrader
I wonder if they took pictures. Respond right here. Where's the pictures?
- [14:58]
Kenny Schrader
But, yeah.
- [14:59]
Herman Schrader
Okay. Nascar. Hot Topics. Tony. Tony Breidinger. I've had her on Kenny Conversation. I think she's Armenian or. But she's a girl. Girl. This Tony Briner makes news. She signs on for a full truck series next year with tricon number five Toyota Tundra. This girl is different than the rest of them, Kenny. She's, you know, she's really girly girl. She's got great sponsors. Do you know anything about her?
- [15:33]
Kenny Schrader
Not. Not a lot. I mean, I know. I think she runs some ARC and stuff. I know she's run. She's run good. But, you know, right now, in my mind. And this will be, you know, she. We'll find out.
- [15:48]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [15:48]
Kenny Schrader
You know, results speak for himself. I don't care if she's a very attractive young lady are just some kid from Shark Trek. You know, the results will. The results will show.
- [16:02]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. I think what stands out with me to her, I mean, she's got. She's a Victoria Secret model. You know, she got raising canes, which is that, you know, chicken place, you know, kind of like a Kentucky Fried Chicken, but raising cane. She does a good job getting the money. So. Congratulations, Tony Breidinger. All right, this next one, and this would be the last one for nascar. Hot Topics. I'm going to say this as well as I can. NASCAR came out last Tuesday with a rule in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. One fire suit design. Okay. So the theory is that they're going to save money. And what NASCAR is saying is like, okay, okay, Kenny, answer me this. How much does one crew member fire suit cost? Do you know?
- [17:00]
Kenny Schrader
Oh, I gotta believe it's 12 to 1500 hours.
- [17:04]
Herman Schrader
Okay, so NASCAR is saying that some of these my.
- [17:08]
Kenny Schrader
My educated guests.
- [17:11]
Herman Schrader
No, you're right. I wanted to hear what you had to say. So they're they're fifteen hundred dollars each because you got to do the embroidery. And so now, now we got these, this is the third tier in nascar. You got, you know, cup everybody and Xfinity and Truck, they said this is a twofold deal. They're, they're watching some of the teams that run towards the back that have got 10 year old fire suits that are dangerous. Here's what they're going to do you everybody at the start of the year. Now these are crew members. They're gonna, they're gonna submit this fire to suit design and that's the fire suit you're gonna wear. And if you want to put Sunoco on it, Goodyear on it, that's fine. They're hoping this will bring everybody up the snuff and yet save money because as you know, sometimes the trucks could have five or six sponsors and they might spend the money on five or six different company.
- [18:12]
Kenny Schrader
The company that is sponsoring maybe those three or four races might want to spend the money for the fire suit. So you know, it's not always necessarily out of the team's budget, but look at this weight. Just smaller scale because it's truck instead of cup. But, and, and I don't, I know in the last however many years before the new car, the cup teams had to give NASCAR their like their shark track design front end, their intermediate design front end. It's no different, you know, just smaller scale. They're just trying to cut, cut some cost.
- [18:51]
Herman Schrader
You know, just a quick little one minute subject there. I, years ago when I got into nascar I was shocked to know that if you're going to run in nascar you got to tell them who your sponsors are. You got to submit the design of the car. I never knew that. Did you have to do that with the truck?
- [19:10]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, yeah. But I mean we never had anything that was questionable. Yeah, but we did have a AT T on the cup car before NEXL came in.
- [19:26]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [19:27]
Kenny Schrader
And that, that it was, I was in a couple meetings. There was kind of, kind of exciting. But you know, I mean and they're, they got to look after their best interest too. But they, they worked good with us.
- [19:42]
Herman Schrader
I, those what I call the phone wars at&t versus yeah, we had all like three phone companies and NASCAR phased some in and, but no new phone companies come in because you know, it was Nextel. I remember I, I was running in the NASCAR Bush series and I got a good sponsor from Miller Brewing through Rusty and it was Red Dog and my Red Dog truck was parked really well. Off turns four at Loudon, New Hampshire. I come in the next day, and they had the Anheuser Busch truck parked in front of my Red Dog truck because the camera was picking the red and they didn't like it. So nascar, Kenny, they do protect their sponsors, don't they?
- [20:38]
Kenny Schrader
It's their company. It's their game, you know, so. And. And we make the decision whether we're going to play with them or not. And I do a lot of the same stuff they do.
- [20:49]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Right. Okay. Moving on. We talked about it last week, but just. We're still celebrating. Tony Stewart and Leah, they went all in. There is a picture out there. When I looked at the picture, I almost called you. Tony Stewart in bed with his shirt off. And there's Leah now. Listen, it's a beautiful picture. I'm not making fun of him.
- [21:14]
Kenny Schrader
I understand.
- [21:15]
Herman Schrader
I'm just like, whoa, Kenny, Kenny. Yeah.
- [21:19]
Kenny Schrader
When the baby's born. Yep. You're all in, you know.
- [21:24]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [21:25]
Kenny Schrader
You're in for a lot of years. So. I mean. Yeah, but it was big also at Tony's age. By no means is he old, but Tony's age. This. Yeah, this is a lot. This is. That's pretty cool. You talk about change.
- [21:41]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. So there it is, race fans. It's out there. Tony Stewart in bed with Leah and the baby.
- [21:47]
Kenny Schrader
That's how they got in this mess.
- [21:49]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [21:49]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah.
- [21:50]
Herman Schrader
I love it. Yeah. Hey, how'd you have that B. What happened? And then. And then. And then, of course, the dog is in the picture, too, so it is a. It is a feel good picture, but it caught me off guard just because Tony's such a tough guy and really neat to see. So for the second time, we'll. We'll end with that. As far as we then congratulating Tony and Leah for two weeks, but, yeah, pretty cool. All right. This one caught my eye because it was a little controversial, but not. But I'd never. I've never seen anything like this. Formula 1, Formula 1 racing. They're over there in Qatar. Not guitar, Qatar. Not that guitar hanging up behind you. So Max Verstappen qualifies second. He's on the front row, and that's a big deal. So on Max Verstappen's cooldown lap, he doesn't keep up pace and get back to the pit area. He qualifies second. He lets a couple cars go by, and then he gets in the way of another qualifier. He, because he's in. In the groove, gets called out, and Kenny, they move him from the Front row. The penalty. There it was, the penalty was there. It was written out and it is a real rule. They moved him back. What's your thoughts on that?
- [23:23]
Kenny Schrader
It's a written. I mean it's, it's a rule.
- [23:26]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, that's the way it is.
- [23:29]
Kenny Schrader
Come down pit road too fast, you got to come back and come in. I mean, you get out of line before the yellow, you pull out a line before the yellow line or the start finish line, you gotta, you gotta come in. It's just, it's a rule. You can't, you know, you can't hinder everybody else's qualifying lap. So it's just people seem to have problems with them rules and yeah, our sport would really have issues if we didn't have as many rules as we have.
- [24:04]
Herman Schrader
I really like Herman Schrader because you're so well respected that you, what you say has a little more weight than me.
- [24:12]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, I caught a lot of hell last week. I read, which I don't. I'm, I'm still iffy on all this stuff, you know, on the social media stuff. But I was like. Because I was reading about.
- [24:25]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [24:25]
Kenny Schrader
Oh yeah, he gets paid by NASCAR too. Because I thought it was good. Because I had good things to say. I don't care what anybody thinks this is, you know.
- [24:36]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. And I want to give my opinion for everybody that's listening. Kenny Schrader and myself. We're not paid by nascar. But, but they sure, they were sure good to us. And we're not going to bash them because you want us to bash them. And that's not a smart, that's not a smart ass question. Answer.
- [24:54]
Kenny Schrader
I'll disagree with stuff that I disagree with.
- [24:58]
Herman Schrader
Right.
- [24:59]
Kenny Schrader
But it's not many things because they're the only ones looking at the big, big, big picture. From the fans side, from the competitor side, from the owner side, from the track side, from the TV side. The only ones looking at up above, looking at all those different sides, uncover.

Glad Shrink Filling Pun so fresh. Glad Stretch, let's drink with sis to take you back. Grandma's place always smells like pine. She said, get out the chat room and clean my bad Stretch. Feeling pine. Soul Fresh.
- [26:09]
The Glad girl group coming at you with that throwback jam. That was Glad Force Flex Drawstring Trash bags featuring pine salt, original scent. And that's better than all good. It's all glad.
- [26:20]
Kenny Schrader
And it doesn't look the same at different sides. And you can't just look at it from one side.
- [26:26]
Herman Schrader
Right? And for us. And I'm talking to you race fans out there, we love you. But just because you're mad at something doesn't mean we jump on your bandwagon. Because you're not gonna beat my ass down into submission just because. So we're gonna say what we're gonna say because we believe in it. We're not martyrs, okay? We're not. We're not shells. We believe in what the hell we're saying. But, yeah, Max versus in a. Listen, you know, we're talking about Maxford. I've. I've accidentally messed up before. I mean, I think it was Phoenix, where I ran my mock qualifying run, and when I was done, I just kind of put my head down and got a plug check, and, hell, I was in the way of Kyle Petty, and, boy, he chewed my butt out. We've accidentally done that in nascar. Have you ever accidentally got in somebody's.
- [27:20]
Kenny Schrader
I don't remember one right off hand, but, yes, I know I have. You know. Yeah, most of them were accidents.
- [27:26]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Or. Or maybe they just. Maybe they deserved it.
- [27:30]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah.
- [27:31]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, maybe they deserved it. Okay, so here's the. Here's the end of Max Verstappen getting penalized. Move back to the second row. Max Verstappen won Qatar. His. He. He. And that's another story for another day, but there's a little bit of comedy going on out there right now in the sports world. Kenny. The Kansas City Chiefs, the Buffalo Bills, and Max Verstappen, they all wrapped their championships up months early, weeks early.
- [28:07]
Kenny Schrader
No, they didn't. Okay. I don't know what. I don't know anything about football, but I. I bet my wife last night.
- [28:16]
Herman Schrader
Oh, boy.
- [28:17]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, I just know the Kansas City, and I'm not a football guy. You know that. But Kansas City's won so many games this year, I've only lost one. I know that.
- [28:27]
Herman Schrader
Yep.
- [28:29]
Kenny Schrader
But some of them have been sloppy. Sloppy. You know, and she bet me 200 hours they'd be in the Super Bowl. And I said, they never make it. That was cool.
- [28:40]
Herman Schrader
Oh, wow. Oh, this is good. Well, because.
- [28:43]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, whatever. It doesn't make any difference. Yeah, she owes me enough that I wouldn't have to pay her anyway. I don't think.
- [28:51]
Herman Schrader
Boy, if I want to make my wife mad and she goes to buy. I'm looking at her right now, I'm like. She goes, well, I bought this for the kids. I said, where'd you get the money? No, don't. Don't ever go there. Yeah, don't ever. Don't ever go. It don't turn out real good. Oh, yeah. Okay. So anyway, that is a little bit of a comedy in reference to everybody mad at NASCAR that, you know, Max Verstappen won. He's won the championship, but he's still racing. You know, we're not running for a championship anymore in Formula 1. Verstappen wrapped it up, the Buffalo Bills in the snow game, which was pretty cool. They, you know, wrapped it up.
- [29:35]
Kenny Schrader
All they wrapped up was a chance to race for it. It's like they made. Okay. It's like they made the top 16 in cup. They haven't wrapped up nothing. They're just running the playoffs.
- [29:45]
Herman Schrader
Right, Right. Well, I'm acknowledging that. I. I see what everybody's saying out there. I see what everybody's saying, but. But, you know, it's. It's kind of in the same realm. Respond right here, everybody. Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills have already wrapped up a chance to get in the playoffs. So it's just funny is all it is. All right. We are going to move on because we beat that, and that was fun. Actually, Kenny, I had no idea we're gonna go to turkey racing all weekend long. I mean, you.
- [30:21]
Kenny Schrader
A lot of races. A lot of races Thanksgiving weekend.
- [30:26]
Herman Schrader
Were you a little. Were you a little bummed out? Did you feel a little sad? Because that's what you and Ann do. You go racing on Thanksgiving? Did you feel weird? Be honest.
- [30:36]
Kenny Schrader
I'm a little sad any day I don't race. You know, I'd rather race and. But no, we. I don't know. I'd have to go through my book. When I first. First time I went started, you know, racing on Thanksgiving weekend would have probably been Ascot, USAC midgets, you know, just like they were the other day would have been out there. And then we've been to down Mississippi a bunch for Thanksgiving weekend at the old Columbus track and at Magnolia, so. And I know they had good Dirt races in Georgia. So, yeah, there's still. I mean, it's not like every place I've been to Wall Stadium. That's where we're going for Thanksgiving weekend. It wasn't Thanksgiving Day, but Thanksgiving weekend.
- [31:34]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. And right there, we're going to start right there. I got this headlined turkey, turkey, turkey. As many times you can say they raced, they raced. If you went to my pass, it was just a Rolodex of turkey races. So let's start at. At Wall Stadium. You and I did talk about, well, let's paint the. As they say in radio, let's paint the picture. So that is a big race, right, Kenny?
- [32:02]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, it's a. It's one of. It's. It's a big race up there. I got to run it. One time we ran fourth. I don't remember. Daughter was in college, went up visit her Thanksgiving and then drove over there to run the race.
- [32:17]
Herman Schrader
So we're gonna, we're gonna talk about the race for a minute because it was controversially awesome at the end. How's something controversial awesome? We'll explain and then I do want to hear.
- [32:28]
Kenny Schrader
They all wreck one another.
- [32:30]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Right. So here we go. All right, first of all, congratulations to Timmy Salamito. Did I say it right? Solomidos. Sounds Italian. Congratulations. Timmy Solomido won the turkey derby at Wall Stadium. And it's important to say this is the NASCAR whan modifieds. Now, Matt Hirschman, he dominated. He led a hundred of 150, but boy, I would not want to be in his position. Caution comes out with like so many laps to go. Matt Hirschman has to come down pit road and this is where all hell breaks loose. Matt is coming. Matt Hirschman's coming through the pack like a torpedo. Caution with two to go. Are you kidding me? And. And the big one happened and then the C parted.
- [33:22]
Kenny Schrader
It's a shocker, isn't it? I mean, I mean, little quarter mile high bank bull ring and we have two to go for everything and there's an accident.
- [33:34]
Herman Schrader
And I mean, they, they called it even in short track racing. They called it the big one. How can you have the big one at Wall Stadium? And they did. And that Timmy Salamito, I guarantee you, when he got in the middle one and two, he went what? He was leading, I think from fifth or sixth. But he ran good. He ran good and he. And he won. What. What is your take? And I also want to hear that story about them. Those guys just beat the hell out of each other's Bumpers.
- [34:02]
Kenny Schrader
Well, I, I just saw the. So Andy J. Was leading there with a little bit to go. I just saw a few of the highlights and I saw that they were all wrecking at the end, but it was aggravating when I went there. And they had me a really good car to drive. And like I said, we wound up fourth. But every turn you just go down there and it's like Bowman Gray. Just go down there and hit the guy in front of you.
- [34:27]
Herman Schrader
All right.
- [34:28]
Kenny Schrader
You know, we just get hit in the back. It just like, why, Hell, if you're gonna hit somebody, hit them hard enough to move them, at least not just hit them just because you're supposed to hit them. But I understand that's. That's, that's the way it is up there. But boy, they. I mean, it's got a hell of a reputation. They've been going for a lot of years, but I've only had the opportunity to be at Wall Stadium. I think it was in trouble, in danger of closing a number of years ago. And it sure looked good and healthy the other day.
- [35:01]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Didn't they have wood walls and they had to replace the wood walls? It wasn't Walls Stadium famous for that. I don't know. But we went there for Bruce Patron race of champions. I was lucky enough to at least make some laps around there. And I'm calling out for Tommy Baldwin right now. If anybody's friends with Tommy Baldwin, as I always say, respond right here. Has anybody in the NASCAR whin series had neck damage from you guys beating the hell out of each other so much with those milk bumpers?
- [35:34]
Kenny Schrader
See those things? There's not a lot of given those cars.
- [35:37]
Herman Schrader
Zero.
- [35:38]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, there's zero given those cars.
- [35:40]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [35:41]
Kenny Schrader
You feel everything.
- [35:42]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, well, you would know. You ran good. You finished fourth. That's hard to do. Okay, so congratulations once again, Timmy Salamito on the barn burner finish. I. I think it's pretty simple to say. Walls did not disappoint. All right, let's move. Way south. The Billy Bigley senior Memorial at Freedom Factory. That track opened back up because of a YouTube superstar. Southern National Motorsports Park. Kenny. This race paid $35,000 to win and it was all Wisconsin finish. They had like almost 60 cars entered. TY Majeski won, but. But everybody was bragging. It was an all Wisconsin boys finish. Casey Johnson second, John DeAngelis third. That Ty Majeski, I mean, he just, he. It's his year. He. He won the truck championship and he just got done getting a little Bonus money. What do you know about that Billy Bigley race down there?
- [36:49]
Kenny Schrader
I. I don't know a lot about it. And Scott Hansen and some guys were going down the other day. They helped us last week in Tennessee and they were going down there. But I know it's. I know it's one of the bigger end of the year races and it's neat to see the track open back up and, and being able to host an event like that.
- [37:14]
Herman Schrader
And I can hear you from a.
- [37:15]
Kenny Schrader
YouTuber that's just says how much our stuff has changed. Here's a used racetrack that a YouTuber takes over and has got it rocking. So that's. That's neat.
- [37:27]
Herman Schrader
That's Cletus McFarland. I forgot his name, but I heard an incredible story about Cletus McFarland. He. He's not as redneck as you think. There's a backstory to his family. Super smart, obviously. So don't let Cletus fool you, everybody. He does come from money and changed his name to where y'all wouldn't pick on him. I'll tell you about it later, Kenny. Making sure the coast is clear. But if, if anybody's ever able to find out more, Cletus McFarland is a winner all around. And Ed Renzi told me a lot about that. So that is a very interesting story. Cletus is, Is a Kenny Scher. You know, he's smart and he. He entertains, and both of you got a lot in common. So Cleanus. Cletus not as dumb as everybody thinks he is. Okay, so we are going. I got this dirt racing, dirt racing and more dirt racing. But we're going to go out. Well, you know, let's start in south first. Let's start. Start here. And Kenny, you call. I called you last night and you said, don't forget about our boys down south. And you were right.
- [38:42]
Kenny Schrader
Swainsboro.
- [38:44]
Herman Schrader
Yep. You were right. The Turkey 100. Not an easy race to win 100 laps. Brandon Overton wins it. Michael Brown second. Will Harrington third. And you know, when you go to any of those tracks, I mean, you're the first one to tell anybody. You could be a local and be really fast.
- [39:06]
Kenny Schrader
Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's hard to drop into those guys. They're. They're on top of that red dirt stuff. They know what to do.
- [39:12]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, those.
- [39:13]
Kenny Schrader
It's hard to drop in anybody's backyard, you know.
- [39:17]
Herman Schrader
It really is, isn't it?
- [39:18]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, because everybody's got the same stuff now.
- [39:21]
Herman Schrader
It's like coming to Granite and saying, hey, outrun Mike Harrison. I don't care who you are, if there's a cushion, he's gonna kick your ass on it. Okay, so we're going to move out. So congratulations, Brandon Overton. He won the Turkey 100. Swain's borough. On to onto the west coast. We got two races out that we're going to talk about real quick. They went to Bakersfield and they ran two divisions. They ran the midget, USAC midgets and non wing sprint cars. Kenny, were the non wing sprint cars. Is that USAC too?
- [39:56]
Kenny Schrader
It might have been a division of usec, I do not know. But it, it's not like the USAC 410s that we see throughout the Midwest and well, three see throughout all over.
- [40:10]
Herman Schrader
Okay.
- [40:11]
Kenny Schrader
Parts of the country.
- [40:13]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. So we go to Bakersfield and Tanner Thorson wins. But it was, it was, it was a big win. It was his 30th USAC open wheel midget win. And I saved it because. Because I know, I know that's your home base. Midgets are where you started. So right here, career feature wins. Mel Kenyon at 111, Rich Vogler 95. Listen to this one. Kenny in third. This is your territory. Bob Winnie at 78. Now, it keeps on going all the way down. But Tanner Thorson, 30 USAC wins, tied with Johnny Parson. So congratulations to Tanner Thorson. He won. And I didn't realize, I mean, that's a lot. 30 wins, a lot of wins. But I thought it would have been more just because that's a lot.
- [41:18]
Kenny Schrader
Okay, That's a lot. He hasn't made a career out of running USAC midgets either.
- [41:26]
Herman Schrader
Good, good point.
- [41:27]
Kenny Schrader
You know, Good point.
- [41:31]
Herman Schrader
Brian Clawson at 38. Let me see. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14th. So he's 14th in career feature wins. USAC Midgets at 30. So yeah, that is a big deal.
- [41:51]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah.
- [41:53]
Herman Schrader
Okay. Thorson wins. Tim's the second. I love these names. McIntosh. Okay, shout out.
- [42:04]
Kenny Schrader
This is before turkey night. This is not turkey night. Right?
- [42:07]
Herman Schrader
You're right. Yes. This is about four days before turkey night. They went to Bakersfield first, had about three, four days off. But I think there's a couple different Bakersfield, California dirt tracks. Because this, this one, I, I never. I've been to a Bakersfield dirt track. This is not this one.
- [42:28]
Kenny Schrader
Ventura, right by the ocean where they were at turkey night.
- [42:32]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Let's finish up Bakersfield real quick because I want to have you comment on this. And in Bakersfield three, four nights before Turkey Night Kyle Busch is leading his heat at Bakersfield. Kyle Busch, the NASCAR cup driver, it looks good too. Leading his heat and broke.
- [42:56]
Kenny Schrader
I watched, I watched. I mean I was really anxious to see him and I think he might have started fifth.
- [43:06]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [43:06]
Kenny Schrader
And very impressively got the lead. Yep. I mean just, just being faster, you know, just drove up past them and was comfortably in the lead and it, it lost power.
- [43:25]
Herman Schrader
Battery broke.
- [43:26]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah. But yeah, fantastic. He looked great.
- [43:31]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, he, he, he got that thing down there sideways, climbed the banking, went low, pass him both. But Kyle Busch was leading his heat race and broke when a battery connector came loose. So we'll remember that. Congratulations, Kyle Bush. Kenny, what is the deal with these guys? When you go back a couple through two, three years ago, Chase Elliott did the same thing. You think it's just something that these cup guys, it's just in their crawl, they gotta try it.
- [43:58]
Kenny Schrader
Just wanted. I mean, you know, a lot. I mean, hell, most all drivers you, you know, if someone tells you you can drive something else, you want to, you want to drive. See what it's like now for them to go to races like that.
- [44:13]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [44:13]
Kenny Schrader
You know, that kind of, that kind of stage with that level of competitors that's, that's really sticking your neck out. I mean they're, you know, they're, they're putting themselves where it's, it's easy to setting themselves up for failure. But they didn't, you know.
- [44:29]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [44:30]
Kenny Schrader
Now they still only pay for the feature, you know.
- [44:33]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [44:33]
Kenny Schrader
And that's bottom line, makes a difference. But you, you can't say that he didn't get her done. He, I mean, he didn't get it done as far as the end result, but he showed that he could.
- [44:48]
Herman Schrader
Boy, it's easy for everybody, just talk crap about athletes or drivers. But buddy, they, they are good. I mean, you know, I remember that time in Eldora. I looked at you and it was Matt Kenseth and some of these cup. And I'm like, you know, I was kind of thinking that me and you, you know, we really knew how to run dirt. And you do, and you taught me. But I looked at you, I said, man, that Matt Kenseth can drive.
- [45:15]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah.
- [45:15]
Herman Schrader
And do you remember what you said to me?
- [45:17]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, there's so, there's a reason they're getting paid what they're getting paid to drive those cup cars. I mean, they're good. But Matt Kansas, which I'm a huge Matt Kansas fan. But at the pre prelude one year, he came up and gave me his uniform afterwards. But he. He ran all over me getting in turn three at Eldora.
- [45:40]
Herman Schrader
Oh, I think.
- [45:42]
Kenny Schrader
I mean, just ran all over me. And I went up to his car after the race. I mean, I'm mad. I mean, you know, you'd rather finish, but it's a play race, you know.
- [45:50]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [45:53]
Kenny Schrader
And he gets out of the car real quick. He said. I said, what. What. What the hell happened, Matt? He said, well, you messed up. And I said, okay, I'm listening, buddy. He said, they told me, like, if I'm on the inside of you, just drive down into three, and when you let up for me, just to stay on the throttle and go right by and come up in front of you. And I said, yeah. He said, well, you didn't let up. Damn. I'm sorry about that, Matt. Could have. Could have wrecked both of us, you know?
- [46:26]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [46:27]
Kenny Schrader
No, them guys are just. They got a lot of talent.
- [46:30]
Herman Schrader
They just really are good. And I think the point here is sometimes we try to, you know, I'm a dirt racer, he's an asphalt race, and, well, we got. We got to respect all disciplines because those guys are just. Yeah, they're good. You're right. When you make it to cup, I mean, you're okay. You don't.
- [46:49]
Kenny Schrader
Any one of those higher levels.
- [46:51]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [46:52]
Kenny Schrader
You know, and when you. When you're at the highest level in your category.
- [46:57]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [46:58]
Kenny Schrader
There's a reason.
- [46:59]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Steve Kinser, Sammy Swindell, you name it.
- [47:03]
Kenny Schrader
The Non Wing Sprint guys, the road race guys, they're just pair. They're good.
- [47:07]
Herman Schrader
Yep. Barefoot Bob McCready. We can go on and on. Okay, so that night at Bakersfield, Carson Maceda won the Non Wing sprint car race. Yeah. And he went. He went up against a lot of guys, but. Okay, now your favorite part. All that was at Bakersfield, everybody. Now, three, four days later, they do. They do test adventura and everything. Now it's the legendary A Turkey Night at Ventura presented by Agajanian. There's that name. Kenny Agajanian. God, they're famous, aren't they?
- [47:42]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, they've been around for a long time, Obviously, different generations, but a long time that they. They've been around. So I don't know. I got to go out there one time. I mean, I went to ascot probably in 79 or something and ran Turkey Night for the first time, but I got to go out there and run their house car one time, sprint car. And it was. That was an honor. But, yes. And they're still. Still promoting that race.

Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. Recently I asked Mint Mobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation. They said yes. And then when I asked if raising prices technically violates those onerous two year contracts, they said, what the are you talking about? You insane Hollywood. So to recap, we're cutting the price of mint unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month. Give it a try@mint mobile.com Switch 45.
- [49:08]
Upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month. New customers on first three month plan only. Taxes and fees. Extra Speed slower above 40 gigabytes.
- [49:12]
Kenny Schrader
Details. Pretty neat.
- [49:14]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. And that's a family that came from across the pond, landed I believe in New York. Just think about the name. And I think I've studied them. They are Armenia. They're from different country. What are they most famous for? Did they get the STP sponsor years ago or. No. Okay.
- [49:36]
Kenny Schrader
They've. They've won Indianapolis several times. I think they had a trash business and a pig farm or something. I think.
- [49:45]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, I think it was, it's pretty incredible.
- [49:48]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah.
- [49:49]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Okay, so we, we got a little bit to get to here, a little bit of controversy. Okay. So let's just do the sprint car race first because in the midget race is awesome. Okay. In the sprint car race, they, they could have. After the sprint car race, it could have been over and everybody would have went, damn, what a show. Ricky Lewis, he's a local, he wins. And it was a big deal. It was feel good. I mean, you know, very emotional win. But in the race, our NASCAR driver, JJ Y, this is where he comes from. Non wing. He gets destroyed. And I saw the replay this morning. J.J. lee, J.J. had every right to be pissed. He didn't even get slid. He got right rear in the nerf side nerf bar. And I mean it destroyed JJ's car. It pictures this morning. It's twisted. Flea's gonna have to fix it up there in Springfield, Illinois. So JJ gives the Jack Hewitt interview.
- [50:59]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, he.
- [51:01]
Herman Schrader
He. He. A lot of F bombs. A lot of F bombs. And he said, I will go over to David Casper's butt if I'm the first one, I'm gonna whip his butt. And did you watch it? Did you watch the interview?
- [51:16]
Kenny Schrader
I didn't. I didn't see it.
- [51:19]
Herman Schrader
So, jj.
- [51:20]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah. When you climb in that car, there's. There's a chance you're going to be aggravated when you get out, you know, and you're a lot more aggravated when it wasn't of your doing. But as Trickle taught us, it was 50 JJ's car, because he got in the car and went out there.
- [51:36]
Herman Schrader
You know, I'm thinking to myself, and I want you to respond. You know, in. In open wheel dirt racing, you just. You just expect sliders, and I guess it's up to you how to control. I mean, respond right here. Kenny, tell me. I mean, I. I run a lot. I run a lot of it just seems like you open wheel guys just kill each other sometimes, and it's like, you better let up. I'm coming.
- [52:03]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah. I mean, it's. It's part of the deal. But, you know, you. You have a slider where you're obviously coming in and they can see it.
- [52:16]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [52:17]
Kenny Schrader
So they have the option to react to it, check up, try to cross underneath you or something, and then you have sometimes where you just get destroyed.
- [52:30]
Herman Schrader
Yeah.
- [52:31]
Kenny Schrader
I didn't see this one, but it must have been one of the ones where it doesn't make any difference. I'm just getting destroyed here.
- [52:37]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Yeah. David Casper and David, if you're listening, I don't mean to be mean, but you destroyed jj. Y. It was right rear. Right in front of the left rear tire. JJ didn't see him coming whatsoever. And it.
- [52:52]
Kenny Schrader
It.
- [52:52]
Herman Schrader
What Was crazy. It did. It was one of those. Those thumps, like, bam. And I mean, it just. JJ's cars completely. You'd. It's destroyed. They need a new framing cage, but. Okay, let's move on to the midget race. The Mack Daddy mall, the one that everybody's there for.
- [53:12]
Kenny Schrader
Kenny, if you run, you know what annual race it was.
- [53:15]
Herman Schrader
Darn it.
- [53:17]
Kenny Schrader
Ah, it was big. It was big up there. I think it was in the 60s or something, maybe. Yeah, it was big.
- [53:25]
Herman Schrader
It was big. I wished I'd known. I'm sorry about that. Respond right here, everybody. Okay. Turkey night at Ventura. Once again, Ty Gibbs. He's the new NASCAR driver, and Kyle Busch show up now. Ty, he hardly races. I don't know what happened to his car, but Kyle Busch just does not make the show. He's. It seemed like the outside at Ventura was you had to really make time. The high side was never your friend unless you really, really made time. But anyway, they go a hundred laps. Corey Day, as he's coming to the front, I believe it's Corey Day gets into Kyle Larson and loops him. Okay.
- [54:14]
Kenny Schrader
Yeah, I saw Kyle, I, I saw a replay. I saw Corey got into him. Kyle did a 360, which, if you do a 360, you got to go to the back.
- [54:24]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. And what, what you're talking about, what he's talking about, everybody is, is Kyle Larson never stopped. So I guess they got that rule. If you do a 360, if you.
- [54:33]
Kenny Schrader
Stood on a gas and you do a 360, you know, I mean.
- [54:38]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, yeah.
- [54:40]
Kenny Schrader
I've been upside down from. Someone did a 360 before and wow. Well, they, well, they did a 270. They do a 360. Yeah. They wound up 90 degrees to the track instead of facing the right way. So, I mean, sometimes it works, sometimes not so much. It's got a better chance of working on the dirt than it does the asphalt because no smoke, at least you can kind of see.
- [55:07]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, yeah. It's funny because we, we race. The reason we're even bringing this up is most of the racing we do, they're like, if you stop, you're in it. So I guess that's why the 360 spin rule. If you stay in the gas, that's why that's in effect. Okay, so Corey Day is 19 years old. He's a phenomenon, your boss. I say that lighthearted. Rick Hendrick already has Corey Day, you know, ready in the wings over there at Hendrick. Ain't that kind of funny? Corey Day is going to be Kyle Larson's teammate one day. We're assuming. We're assuming.
- [55:47]
Kenny Schrader
So Corey, he's got his foot in the door.
- [55:50]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. Buddy Colfoyd runs second, Dyson personally third. But here's where the it lit, you know, people's opinions up. And Corey's 19 years old. He's young, driving like he's a veteran, winning everything. Corey Day says this in victory lane. He says, I didn't have Jesus in front of me to pass. So what that reference means is, Kyle Larson is Jesus. He's the greatest, and I didn't have to pass him. Everybody took that as a smart ass. I didn't have God in front of me. And so what is your opinion on that statement by Corey, Dave?
- [56:36]
Kenny Schrader
Well, it made, it made Corey's mission easier. Pass Kyle. I mean it's like any. I mean, yeah, he just was what he thought, you know, it was simpler that he passed Kyle once. But that's why Kyle was spinning because he hit him. But that stuff just happens sometimes, you know, I mean, it happens.
- [57:06]
Herman Schrader
Yeah. And it really does.
- [57:08]
Kenny Schrader
It's just what he said. He's 19 years old.
- [57:11]
Herman Schrader
I mean, give him a break.
- [57:13]
Kenny Schrader
Smart nothing smart ass about it. He just. I didn't have to pass him. Is that's a good thing?
- [57:19]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, I, I agree with you because when I think about the things that I said, oh God, back in the day, you know, and I didn't mean nothing bite, it just come out of my mouth and you know, I got that, I got that Wallace in me, that Rusty Wallace and we're smart asses. But okay, so I agree with you, Kenny. Give Corey Day a break, you know, and I will say Kyle Larson. Now this is my opinion and I mean, I mean this wholeheartedly cow was driving for Pete Silva and I don't know anything about that. I'm just saying Kyle did not look like Kyle. The whole west coast swing out there. He just didn't have the speed that I'm used to Kyle having. And Kyle did go into one driving it in like you taught me. Kyle went in on the right front. He went in straight. And I think it caught Corey Day off a little bit, you know, because.

Kenny Schrader
Richard Petty didn't win every race. I was watching an interview the other day where it was one of those round table deals. I always saw one part. But Wolfie Doug Wolfgang won 55 shots. Was asking, said you won 55 races in the one year. Yeah, Wolfie's like real, real nonchalant. I said, yeah, but I lost 70.

Kenny Schrader
And no it's not okay. So anyway. But went down there 6:00 and just drove right down. There's no problem. So it's amazing to be 20 miles away. Not even 15 miles away. Maybe the way the bird flies. Yeah, right. And the weather be that much different.
- [61:08]
Herman Schrader
Boy, it really is it. I know this sounds silly somebody like you just said. Okay. You don't, you don't have any snow out there. It's still snowing here. So current affairs is, is we. We finally got our first big snow. It did snow here about three to four inches.

Kenny Schrader
Big snow.

Herman Schrader
Big snow.

Kenny Schrader
Big snow. Three to four inches. Hey, if, see if you were really up on current affairs, that's not a big snow.

Herman Schrader
If it snowed 3 to 4 inches in Charlotte, North Carolina, that'd be.

I think I'll tell the story. I have it. I think it's a good one, or else I wouldn't waste the time, so. All right, Kenny, I'm about. I don't know if I'm 16 years old or not. Now, this is not very funny, but, boy, it. To this day, still. Still gets me. And I think. I think you'll go along with me because, you know, we're coming out of Valley park, your hometown. We're coming out of Valley park. Brother Rusty, Paul Andrews. We build this NASCAR cup car sponsored by Ramada Inn. We make it to daytona. Maybe I'm 16 years old. I don't. Let me see. I'm born in 63. 73. Yeah. I was 19 years old, so, you know, I was. I was a tire changer. We're in the twin 150s and brother Russell, 125, so. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah. Twin.
- [64:25]
Kenny Schrader
I was in the grandstands.
- [64:27]
Herman Schrader
Were you really? That's awesome. Okay, so, brother Rusty, with Paul Andrews myself, we make it somehow. We put this car together. We got sponsor Don. Don Miller got the sponsor RADA in number 72. We go to Daytona on. On A wing and a prayer. And Rusty's running good. He's in the top six. Seven comes off a turn two. And he's got Richard Petty and. And Rick Wilson. Rick Wilson is driving the number four Kodak car. And one of them gets into Rusty. It was Rick Wilson in the 4 Kodak car.
- [65:07]
Kenny Schrader
4 Kodak car back then. What year was this?
- [65:10]
Herman Schrader
The. The camera car? Yeah, I thought it was Rick Wilson.
- [65:16]
Kenny Schrader
Well, I don't think 82 now. Rick Wells wants it in the Kodak car, but go ahead.
- [65:22]
Herman Schrader
Okay.
- [65:22]
Kenny Schrader
It's your story. I don't mean to interrupt.
- [65:24]
Herman Schrader
Yeah, that's okay, though. Okay.
- [65:26]
Kenny Schrader
I remember off turn two and you guys were getting it done.
- [65:32]
Herman Schrader
All hell breaks loose. So Rusty comes off a term two twin 125. We're excited. We're in the pits, we're watching on the big screen. And one of them gets into Rusty. And Rusty goes barrel rolling. I mean, it is bad. He's flipping end over end over end. And at that time back then, it was all grass and the sand was like, you know, you had grass. It was black. It was. It wasn't. It wasn't brown sand. It was all black sand. And he's shaking his head yes, everybody. So the sand was mixed in with. With grass. So it was black sand. Now Rusty's wearing a red fire suit, okay? And it's bad. He's flipping end over in. Right away, you know, Rusty Wallace is in the ambulance. They're taking him to the infield care center. I'm devastated because I'm the kid brother. And you know what it was like, Kenny, to build a car out of Valley Park, Missouri. And we go down there and now our hopes of making the Daytona 500, they're over. And is Rusty alive? So I go running down there and I take my eyes and I peek in the ambulance and all I see is red and I think it's blood. What had happened is when Rusty went flipping end over end, he's upside down and all that black sand is scooping inside the car. Open face, helmet on. They have him back there. And finally somebody says, you know, you can come see your brother. I'm like, that's my brother. I'm panicking. You know, I really am crying, you know, because I think Rusty's dead because I saw all red. I get back there and this black sand, he is coated. Coated in black sand. And in Rusty's words, they got Q tips. They are digging even with his earplugs in, they're digging black sand out of his Eyes out of his ear molds. It. It was that wreck, everybody. Yeah, because Rusty was laid. He was. He wasn't saying a word. I said, you okay? He goes, yep, I'm fine. It was that wreck where Rusty gave me advice. He said, herman, it's little idiosyncrasies like this. He says, when you have a bad wreck and you know it's bad, just breathe and stay calm. Don't panic. And. And I would. I would say to this day, if. If things weren't bad, I might. I might have panicked. But it was my big brother that said, when things go bad, breathe. And Rusty taught me that.
- [68:23]
Kenny Schrader
I was at the grandstands. I remember I said, okay, I think we're okay here. Because they took him to the in field care center and Intel Care Center. Then was that little or place off turn four. You know, it's kind of more up turns towards turn four. And I never. I watched the rest of the race, but nothing. No ambulance ever left the infield care center.
