    You guys represent the best years of NASCAR. Its no longer watchable for me. I've moved to IndyCar. Those years between 1985 and 2000 were incredibly entertaining. Much respect to you both!

    93 was absolutely my favorite year (especially since I really started watching in 91). He finished 2nd in the championship to Earnhardt, the 10 race wins, the recovery from the superspeedway flips, and the tribute at the end of the Atlanta race with Rusty (the race winner) and Earnhardt driving alongside, with the 7 and 28 flags doing a polish victory lap..that was 100% my favorite memory in all the years that I watched. Thank you, Rusty and Kenny

    93 Dale won his 6th cup with 6 races won plus The Busch Clash, The Winston and the 125 mile qualifier in Daytona. But, Rusty is yacking about his 93 season being so great.

    Rusty was really the only one that could go toe-to-toe with Dale Earnhardt in that era. It's wild that they were such good friends off the track, because the competition on the track was fierce.

      Dale gets credit for it...but the first time i remember hearing it was Rudd after Fall Dover in 93....maybe dale said it after the bristol flip in 88, or earlier in 93

I really wish he would run in the New SRX series. Please 🙏. Me and my Mother would absolutely love it. A black and yellow #2 car That would just be. “The Best Thing ever!!!!!

    My old man lost a pool of cash when the 17 tide ride slid through the grass. Sitting above a tunnel (32 row) in the Chrysler section E/F. It was a long ride home.
    He was sooo pissed and cussing Krusty's name..lol. He got over it decades later, but he was always a Jaws fan.
    I still have one of the Winston posters, where Tim Richmond had his Willie out behind the ear of another driver. Lol

    Kenny by far my favorite Rusty paint scheme is the black and yellow Miller Genuine Draft, that car was absolutely beautiful. I can think of some great looking cars from that era. Dale Sr. in the black/silver Goodwrench, Davey Allison in the black/orange Texaco/Havoline and Kyle's Mello Yello car. Those black cars make the other colors stand out.
    Probably 1992 into 1993 was the coolest era. The last race in 92 being Richard Petty's last race and Jeff Gordon's first. Alan Kulwicki winning the championship as a single car team. That was a great way to end that season.

    Hey Kenny, please ask your brother Rusty whatever happened to the Harley-Davidson car that he won with at Bristol in the 2000 night race..? I believe it was his last Bristol win, and I always loved the paint scheme on that car with the flames, blue paint and the Harley logo. Rusty Wallace still is my favorite driver & I think it’s really cool that he builds motorcycles now too! Keep up the good work! Your videos are awesome! Thank you! 🙏

If it wasn’t for the GO3T, Rusty would have a few more chips. And the wrecks he walked away from. Wooo. Feel like a kid again listening to these stories. Wish he ran a few more years, def left some wins out there. Good stuff Kenny.

      Drivers back then we're just built different man. I miss the early to mid 2000s when there was still guys like Earnhardt Sr, Terry Labonte, Kyle petty, Rudd, Martin, Rusty, Bill Elliott, and Sterling Marlin who have been racing since the late 70s early 80s and still good. Now everyone retires earlier. Harvick I think had some left too. Kurt Busch definitely did

I didn't want to go and stayed with grandparents a year. She convinced me with there being a racetrack a mile down the road and she would take me to every race. I still live in North Wilkesboro and My man Rusty Wallace won the first race I seen in person.

    My brother was a BIG Rusty fan. My Mother was a big Dale Sr fan. She bought a 1993 Beretta and we took a family trip to Texas. Overnight, my Mom's car had eggs thrown all over it due to the Earnhardt stickers and tags. My brother (who was around 17 at the time) thought it was funny because he didnt like Dale Sr. Man.....what an era. Im sure stories like this exist in millions of people's lives......but this one story is mine.
