Brad is always awesome to listen to on a podcast, now being an owner he is in the middle of everything in NASCAR, he’s smart he’s very analytical, and he knows the sport inside and out and he’s not afraid to talk about it, thanks Kenny for another great podcast and good luck to Brad and RFK
Listen to Brad talk, this is why I love to watch him race. He is well spoken, he is intelligent and he loves this sport! Kenny this without question is one of the best shows you have ever had. And Happy Birthday Kenny! I just turned 60 in June :)
The hardest thing about NASCAR from a farmer in Wisconsin is I don’t know when or where the races happen!!!
I use to just watch tv and see a commercial or a add somewhere. Now I have too look it all up
NFL they drill on your head when the game is
As a "business" guy, it is super cool to hear various drivers that 20 years ago I thought were just "drivers" really speak to the business side of NASCAR. Folks like Brad, Denny, KFB, Amy Earnhardt, and others all feel very close to the pulse of the business, and all speak very intelligently about the business. It's just cool to see the transformation happen.
Also, one of the first things you do in your first business class is to go make a SWOT analysis. Literally one of the first things you learn, and they can be very eye opening. Whats even cooler is that a lot of real SWOT analysis are available online and you can go see them for yourself.
I have been a fan of Brad ever since his first win and watched him mature into a true champion, thanks Brad for what you bring to NASCAR, and thank you Kenny for this interview .
Brad is One Smart Owner/Driver
Just as Dale Jr has an eye for talent, so does Brad with his old Truck team and now with RFK Racing..... I can't wait to see what he does with RFK Racing, and Brad is one smart guy for NASCAR.....
I'm 27 and have been a life long fan. I went through the late 2000's- mid 2010's lull when it was boring as all get out. NASCAR has done a very good job of earning fans back to the people that watch, understand, and have someone to root for. This is the best racing has been in a while and I willingly say that to people that "used to" be fans and haven't watched it because it was "soft". I am truthfully excited week in and week out.
I love NASCAR but I hate cable TV so I’ve missed a lot of racing since I cut the cord, I keep up with RUclips but I’d watch if it was available for livestream 👍
Wow, I'm shocked. I used to dislike Brad till right now that dude is smart. Brad, you just stand up fan in me. Wow! I'm impressed with a stud.. I haven't liked Brad because I'm a Kyle Busch fan since way back when they were beefing in the at the time nationwide series. All that's behind me now. I wish RFK the best and success. I'm shocked. Great interview Kenny
Been following Brad since he drove for Jr. I enjoyed watching his championships. I hope he gets one as a driver/own even though I never cared for Roush Racing .
Ive never liked Brad K... but this interview change my perspective of him some. Seems pretty legit. Good Conversation Kenny. Thanks for sharing.
Good conversation with two guys who know the business. Thank you!
Brad is my man and has been since the Penske years. He's got a great head on his shoulders and very savvy business mind. Always very well spoken, polite and respectful. Oh by the way Kenny tell Brad I still watch daily the Andy Griffith show, Green Acres, Gomer Pyle, Beverly Hillbillies and on and on. Got to have my daily dose of fantasy... LOL
my son started nascar with me when he was 2 he's 26 now and we still watch nascar every weekend together
Brad is one of the most intelligent comprehensive driver/owner in nascar. I has a view to the future.
Keselowski has really matured since his early days. My opinion is that his stint at Penske was a like attending an Ivy League university for racing and he graduated with honors.
Great chat fellers !!! Huge fan of both you dudes 👍👍🇨🇦✌️🇨🇦✌️🔧🔧
Great interview with Brad Keselowski really enjoyed it.
I really like where the ownership side of Nascar is going. We have the old guard, Hendrick, Childress,Penske and Gibbs. We have owners like Smoke and Brad who are cup champion drivers. Then there’s Justin Marks, think outside the box kind of guy. They all have a different perspective and I think the sport is better for it
Brad would make a fantastic sports management Professor at a college
With respect to streaming for NASCAR, check out how the IMSA folks do it. A lot of in-car cameras with NO BROADCASTERS yappin' in my ear.
Now that Shane van Gisbergen has exposed NASCAR-only fans (that doesn't sound right) to SuperCar guys ..... I LOVE the Super Cars - their sound, their agility, their speed. Sure would love for NASCAR cars to sound and perform like SuperCar.
Great interview, Kenny. I always like Brad (most of the time : exception was his battles with Carl Edwards taking each other out) and it was clear from the start he was a man on a mission.
Keselowski is a very tailored package..he is extremely articulate... and importantly.. 'Visionary' ... he clearly sees where Nascar needs to go relative to shoring up the fan base going forward.. I agree with you Kenny with Brad having the Aura of the .. ' Mayor of Nascar'... he presents as well as anyone I have seen in World motor racing. .. Brad needs to be the promotional voice of Nascar.
Great conversation Kenny! Brad is a smart guy, love all his perspectives on all the subjects.
Brad will win another championship and so will RFK as a team many times.
Great interview!
Brad is right about older fans dying off and trying to get the younger kids interested
Great interview
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I stream Flo. It's~ $150 a year. For me it's well worth it. This time of year there is something I want to watch at least four days a week. I like dirt Late Models, USAC open wheel, All Stars and High Limit sprinters and in the winter you get Chili Bowl and a bunch of stuff from Australia and NZ. The events available that I might be interested in watching number in the hundreds. It's been 30 or so years since I had a TV. Never wanted to watch anything bad enough to pay for cable. For NASCAR I watch the highlights on RUclips. Maybe I listen to PRN or MRN.
Fenway group was smart picking Brad to steer the ship.
Great interview Kenny !
Brad is talking sense I have know this since Justin TV.
I think it was back in the mid to late 1990's but could be off a few years. Bristol (mostly night) races were exciting and A LOT OF FUN to watch on TV - drivers were constantly wrecking (but not getting hurt), all the drivers were mad at each other, they could barely go a lap without wrecking - it was 'sitting on the edge of your chair' fun to watch wondering what was going to happen next. The seats at Bristol were so full of fans that not one more person would fit in there. Those Bristol races back then were what people watched Nascar racing for. Nascar needs to capture that 'excitement' to get more fans. And I compare that to the Nashville race a few weeks ago that was the MOST boring race I have ever seen, which Nascar needs to get away from.
Brad was 100% spot on with his comments about the newer Generations aren’t a car generation and our core fans are dying off.
I've always been a Brad K. fan. I don't like the idea of nascar going to a streaming service.
You should call this format / segment of the show, in the groove with Kenny Wallace
Kenny what do you think Dale SR would have thought of the Next Gen Car?
Im 19 and i love nascar im sure younger ppl will catch on soon in a few years with propper ads
I don’t think older fans are dying off, NASCAR is pushing us out! Hey, we know it’s all about the money. That’s life the question is, us older fans have been fans for decades, our kids and Grandkids, great grandchildren have grown up with it Nascar. NASCAR gained decades of fans this way. Take this out of the equation going forward, doesn’t seem great for NASCAR making new generational fans.
Let's ask Kenny .. Keenny Barry here and the race fans Like to know why !! ? and I ask why does NASCAR HAVE SUNDAY night races ? what happened to saturday night racing !! Saturday night racing was or is a Mile stone of NASCAR .. We the Fans want answers Since NASCAR has never replied to my question
in the early 1990's Nigel Mansell came from England and took AJ, Parnelli and Mario's lunch money. Ben Kennedy will bring in SVG, Ambrose and some others from down under and they will be taking the Nascar lunch money:)
After listening to Brad right now, I am finding it hard to remind myself that he is a Cup driver.
A huge chunk of people would watch internet racing and app deals.
BK aint no dummy thats for sure. Run for Office. 👌
my two favorite drivers kenny and brad
brad facts
All NASCAR races should be streamed but not exclusively at the expense of regular TV, as you want to have the maximum viewership possible for sponsors and to grow the sport. Similar to how the PGA Tour has all of its main regular season (Jan to Sept) tournaments on cable the first 2 days, on broadcast TV (CBS/NBC) on the weekends and ESPN+ for streaming (with different coverage than the TV networks). For NASCAR, there should be a regular TV option (even a tape delayed version, showing last half of races live similar to IMSA, simulcast on the CW since they're into sports and would get better ratings than LIV golf, etc.). Viewership will go down for sure compared to being on TV and sponsors would not pay as much if at all to have races viewed by only thousands of people. Recently NASCAR's been at the top of the ratings the past couple of weeks as Chicago was unique and close to prime time + Nashville & Atlanta were prime time Sunday night, with suggestions that more races that can be aired on Sunday night during the summer (looking at Richmond in particular since they have lights). So why ruin a good thing by excluding viewers, and would Chicago really be carved out for a hypothetical streaming only package despite its high ratings?? Also, broadcast TV/cable quality is better than streaming over the internet for live sports, and many still don't have high speed internet to stream and/or use satellite TV.
Streaming is not TV money. TV money is advertising not pay per view. I don't pay for TV. The races that I've seen on a streaming service the broadcasting is sub par compared to what Speedvision was or CBS used to be or even ABC. The cars need to change from dump trucks to race cars. That would help. So I can pay for Mav TV, I can pay for XR tv, I can pay for Hunt the Front TV and all the rest. In order to watch racing it'll cost thousands of dollars a year. Not doing it. P.S. Pushrod engines?
I beg NASCAR to never, ever, ever consider e-NASCAR. I heard one comment at Michigan once from a Gen-whatever fan say "the cars are too loud. I can't text".
I would have loved for you to ask Brad his take on whether fans follow the driver or fans follow the brand.
I wrote a survey many years ago to send out to track attendees that question (when Smoke was with Home Depot). The survey results was fans are loyal to the driver.
That "fan" was stupid, NASCAR is supposed to be LOUD! Who the hell texts at a race!?
Nascar died to me several years ago when we started putting rich kids in their late teens who never accomplished alot in motorsports straight to nascar. Most the drivers seem like spoiled brats to me. Just an old mans take. Money has always been a thing I know. But talent was more valued in my opinion.
In my opinion NASCAR for got who it’s fan base was. They got away from some of it’s small tracks and went to the cookie cutter tracks. The stage racing is terrible. NASCAR getting involved with politics “The Confederate flag” at Talladega. Pandering to minorities, Sponsors not being able to fund a team for a full year but now it may take multiple sponsors. All off this has taken a toll NASCAR viewership. One last point, my dad watched NASCAR, I watch NASCAR, my kids watch NASCAR. There is your loyal base. Great interview Herm👍👊🏁🇺🇸
I miss the direct feed channel that was on the OG satellites. I quit watching nascar because of a commercial break every 2 laps
And Ross hitting Noah was BS he gets a punch in and then he is saved by security! Noah should have met him at his hauler after that where security can’t step in!
They have got to get younger people to a race and see speed on track they do not really know.
Exactly right about cable! The prices that the cable companies are charging is rape of the consumer. They are putting themselves out of business! Where the get the bottom line of charging the consumer 200$ to 300$ a month is brutal! My wife is changing ours now! Brad is right, I only watch two or three channels and the rest is garbage.
Apparently Dale junior doesn't see or pay his Xfinity bill!
Agree a million percent. I pay 200 a month for cable and I onlyyyyy use it for half the sundays a year for nascar. Nothing else. I'm canceling after this season and if no streaming option next year then I'll make peace not watching.
The new car is too 'sports car' and not enough 'stock car'. Please tell me at what dealership I can buy a car with the single lug nut.
I'm sure there were some driver complaints about tire changers having too much influence on the overall outcome of a race (with 5 lugs to deal with)... but that's what made pit stops SOOoooo much fun to watch! TEAM EFFORT
Because of the cost of Motorsport and money becoming hard to find Guys wrecking other guys because there upset is just idiotic ... Can't belive Team owners stand by and let it continue ... SVG just showed what an Elite driver can do and was surprised someone didn't try and wreck him ...
NASCAR has lost its way. They have consistently alienated their core fan base trying to attract new fans. They so desperately want to be a stick and ball sport. The playoffs are a COMPLETE disaster and its a broken system. What they fail miserably to realize is the core fan base next generation will be fans. If you run off your core base you lose that next generation. I'm a fan because my dad was a fan and he was a fan because his dad was a fan. Shrink your core base and it's hard to grow the sport for generations to come.
I couldn’t agree more, well said!
No way on streaming.
Was impressed with Brad, smart guy almost as much as the Hermanator.
NASCAR has control of there image, If they had the balls to apologize to there fans they would be bigger then ever... but they wont
How about parity?
These vets are used to competitive close driving this much.
More street racing
Develope better Drivers
Brad is really squared away
Hay NASCAR!
Stream races for $5 a race!!!
I think he drinks his tea with his pinky finger up in the air. It’s the only way a fine gentleman shall drink his tea to let others know his status.
Been watching NASCAR since 1979 and i am not going to pay to watch it on tv.
Naskaa Fukkin Deddo
If you are not cheating, you're not trying hard enough.
Kenny thinks the popularity is rising 😅😅😅😅😅
Of all people, I can't believe brad is ok with fining drivers for wrecking each other... The physical racing, beating, banging, fighting, all of that is what sets us apart from all the other boring racing out there. Stoping that... Stops nascar. All these fines have to go.
I'm a racing fan but not gonna pay per view it.
He's an owner now, you aren't getting an honest answer out of brad.
I pay enough for cable I won’t pay for streaming. Most of nascar races are damn boring.
Keep living in that bubble Brad. I haven’t watched a minute in over 7 years ago, not even when it was just here in Chicago.
I’m going to call you on that one. I don’t believe your position at all.
@@ijk1783 fr, if he hasnt watched NASCAR in 7 years then wtf is he doing watching nascar content on yt
I don't have FS1. So I can't watch those races.
Nascar definitely is not good from stage racing to point system, lack of HP can’t pass racing has become very boring! The rules are ridiculous and the constant nit picking is so ridiculous! The continued punishments are ridiculous! This new car is not safe when drivers continue to get hurt with concussions and other injuries I hate to say it this car will kill someone! Fix the rules because This is why ratings and attendance is down! I never missed a race now I can barely watch. I always dvr races and would watch the whole race now I fast forward through the races. About 20 of my friends we would go to so many different races in RV’s now we don’t attend anymore because nascar has been ruined and continues to be ruined.
The current state of nascar.....too many young drivers that don't know how to race. The tracks and direction nascar is taking. "Politically Correct." That fan base won't last. Bubba needs to shut up and Jr. and Jeff Burton need to learn how to commentate. Jr. needs to remember he's not nascar. Too many commercials and terrible camera footage. Thats about it.
NASCAR Has Gone Woke and Will Eventually Go BROKE!
The 23 car driver has to go, Kenny, he’s harming NASCARs viewers. Sad story’s I’ve witnessed
Hate to tell you I'm done spending money on useless crap
Cable and streaming TV
I'm not putting money out for that
Good luck
Virtual Death will solve many NASCAR issues, stop the boring bumper-car kids from staying in a sport where all they do is crash other peoples money they don't understand, bring some responsible drivers up that can finish a race without a bunch of cautions. NASCAR racing has become boring and predictable just like the drivers. Take detailed record of accidents, have g-force meters and get rid of a few of the worst offenders through forced retirement. USE GT3 CARS! NO MORE TUBE FRAME WITH A BODY! PRE-'67 RULES WITH MODERN CARS WITH A SAFETY POD.
Funny Brad is commenting on Chastains driving. Remember Brad Bulldozing everyone for his 2012 championship. Brad is salty and thinks he knows everything 🤣
You realize people can change over the course of 11 years, right?
One thing they should not do is what they are doing now puching the blackness nascar is betraying the people that made nascar what it is today now even the nascar reporters are been replaced with blacks
I used to pull for Brad, until he won his championship and got a cocky attitude. He's not happy that nobody's talking about him. I wonder why that is, Brad? Maybe win more frequently? I have zero respect for Rousch because of the way he treated his drivers. So there's my strong thoughts. My opinion, don't care if you don't agree.
😂😂😂 Brad drove worse than Ross does now. Just ask Carl.
Hahaha cry Ross and Carl never had or will have the resume like brads !
The only way to expand and get new fans is to do way more road and street races ... That is what overseas fans understand....ovals are live entertainment for your higher population base...stop being so myopic and arrogant.
Be careful though, I'm an Aussie and V8 supercars left behind going to actual road courses to go to street courses and lost me as a fan. They are harder to pass on and to attend live is worse as you can only see one corner or straight away.
nascar needs to chase US fans before they chase overseas fans
What the hell is he talking about...he's no longer a driver...hes a politician...sad...
Gave up on cable.... tv.... and Nascar years ago.
Kes has wrecked way more people than Ross ever has or ever will. He needs to examine his past before running his head !
