Kenny Wallace

Ptown your post is garbage....He's not fake. He's probably the most honest guy in the pits. You don't like him because he doesn't dog NASCAR (THE PEOPLE WHO SIGN HIS (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) CHECKS)....he races 3-5x a week when he's not commentating NASCAR. He's a positive guy with a great attitude unlike the "woe is me""everything sucks" posters on here. Does he get corny...sure...but that doesn't make him fake or a bad person

Don't worry about ptown, he don't like anyone

Kenny is about as good a guy u can meet. He used to come into MN to run some USMTS shows at least 15 or 20 years ago. Was always great with the fans.

Consider the source.

Apparently you have never seen sprint car racing in which a few "well known" NASCAR guys drive? I'll tell you this much, when the all star sprints come to Attica raceway in April so do Stewart, kahne, blaney (now), etc and the CASUAL dirt fan knows. They, the fan, show because it's the all stars and more importantly NASCAR guys will be there. Look how many putting money back into dirt racing! Guess you'd say Mark Martin is bad for dirt too? His money seems to be spending just fine in dirt and he's putting stuff together in Arkansas at a DIRT track. Remember a guy by name of Schrader? He'd show at a dirt track and race and promoters paid him to do so, promoted his name to be there, and yep the fans flocked! Be happy with what your seeing cause it can only help. What's the truck guys name that has his own dirt mod team and said it's tough as hell competition?

Mentioning 3 places isnt promoting anything.

LOL ... you are brilliant.

I don't post here often but read almost everyday. I can overlook most of the garbage talk on here but this is just sad. If you have ever talked to Kenny or watched him interact with the fans or most importantly HIS COMPETITORS you will see how wrong you are. When Kenny shows up he is a modified racer; nothing more, nothing less. It is not his fault costs are out of control and he is definitely not supported or funded that much more than any other top modified guys. He also can't do anything about the costs; he is just another guy racing. The dude is a racer. Dirt mod, dirt late model, just won a big asphalt race in Canada (after tech issues with winner). There are Nascar and big money guys that do come in and stink up the show for the the everyday grassroots racers race but Kenny Wallace is not one of them. The dude loves to wheel and he is definitely not hurting anything by racing a dirt mod or anything else at this point in his career.

Thank you for the excellent post.

Although I felt the Taylor Cook comments were not necessary, I can tell you Kenny has always been about helping while having a good time. Early 90's we raced karts in his backyard, would have everyone from the kid on a yard kart to cup drivers -everyone treated equal (even met James Brady-congressman who took the bullet with Reagan there). He may be over the top at times but I can't agree he is bad for the sport. Glad Taylor beat him though!

Kenny doesn't even have a toter or stacker trailer.

You people who think Kenny is a perfect angel are deaf and dumb. Kenny should be in late models anyways. Why would someone who has raced in the NASCAR CUP SERIES race in modifieds?...... Easy pickens. He's got sponsors, money and nascar connections and friends to get an easy upper hand. This is why the technology should be rolled back in the modifieds. If mods were cheaper and very restricted with suspension rules, he'd have a lot harder time picking on the working guys. He might even lose interest and leave. To that I say go race late models and good riddance.

He's not the only guy that has NASCAR connections. What about Allgaier, Crafton, Schrader, and Stremme? I've seen all of them guys get their butt kicked by locals. What exactly is easy pickens?

[TUTY]

If he was running USRA or USMTS which he did around 2000 he would have trouble competing. He's a really good guy period. I saw him get a provisional to start a A-Main at a USMTS show. I don't think he ever won a USMTS Show?

[MI Dirt Fan]

Someone said on here a few weeks ago Stremme had no reason whatsoever to be around a dirt track. Some of the pics I've seen of him he uses up all the sheet metal each race.

[EvelB7]

Bottom line is they do bring attention to the sport. I remember how excited I was racing with Schrader back in the late 80's when he would come to Iowa (I was in my teens). I will say I have witnessed a couple try to use their popularity to gain an edge, but in the end the good dirt racers come out on top.

Is that all you know how to do, is call people names? Because he cannot afford to run Cup or XFinity or whatever. He runs what he can afford and there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s not like he is waxing the field every night taking these guys money. He just a pretty good wheelman and a good spokesperson for racing.

He is not responsible for the technology in late models and modifieds, the sanctions are who let things get to this point. They don’t stick to the rule book, and also relaxed some rules. Especially in modifieds.
