    This is why we do these old race shop videos. You’d NEVER know this random building held any significance to anyone. Racecars end up in museums. The buildings they came from are often forgotten.

      Kenny is such a hoot to listen too, his mind is just going a 100mph remembering everything. His memory is pretty good as well.
      You should contact the guy that has the doors and SQD hood and get some photos of them. I'd be interesting to see how he's saved them.
      Thanks for sharing Kenny's world of NASCAR 👍🏻

      When he was in that post race show on Speed. I would literally watch it just to here him break down the race and listen to his opinions on the on/off track action. Those live shows were some fun times especially when fans were interacting havinv signs waving trying to get the camera's attention.

You and Logan are definitely some of the best content creators on RUclips!! Thank you both for your passion!!! I'm an "old school" NASCAR dude. I don't really like the "new" NASCAR! I like the days of when it took fuel mileage, tire wear, survival skill and driver/team skill and passion, to actually win races!! We love the fact that both of you explore the old days of the sport. The old stories, drivers, teams, cars and shops! Thank you both again for an awesome channel!! Keep up the great content!!! Best regards, Chris & Maria

    I love how your just hanging out with some of the biggest names of NASCAR from my favorite era of the mid-late 90's. Feels like you're buddies with them all and they are just down to hang out and talk about old memories of racing for those lesser known teams. When I'm down the RUclips rabbit hole of old races, very likely its from the late 90's. That Square D car, either the #81 or #55, is just one of those Iconic, yet simple paint schemes.

Taking Kenny back to some of his race shops brought out more interesting stories that I had never before heard.

    Wow what a flashback. I was in this building in 1994ish to hook up with a friend that worked for Filmar racing in an effort to get me hook up with Red Line oil. I was shown a few things about their oils and saw a butt load of 9" Ford rear end chunks sitting upside down in 5 gallon buckets with RedLine gear oil still stuck to some of them after years of sitting. I also remeber the nut and bolt bins Keeny mentioned.We ended up getting a sponsorship with Red Line and we recieved pallets of oils. Ahh, good times!!

    The story after Kenny left this race shop and went to Andy Petree racing is why (when I had all these people telling me that I had what it took to go to work in Nascar) is why I never listen to those people urging me to go to Nascar. Along with I already got plenty of time on a broom, and I most definitely wasn't going to be put on a broom there in Nascarland.
