Wonderful video Don. Just wonderful. We need more Kennys! Ive followed his channel since Day 1. Up until 2 or 3 years ago Kenny was sponsored by UNOH in Lima. He was their spokesman and made several trips to the school to talk and mentor with the students. Again really nice video. Put me in such a great mood with all the positive vibes.
Kenny is always the same anywhere you see him. I've had the privilege of knowing his family for many years and they are all great people. Kenny has an awesome sense of humor and will always keep you laughing!
Herman is one true gentleman and a class act! If there were more folks like him the world would be a much better place!! Thank you History Mystery Man for taking the time to share your videos with us!
Grew up in St. Louis area with Pevely on Saturday night and St. Charles speedway on Sunday - love the picture at about 14:01 with Schrader and Kenny but it looks like Dandy Don Klein in the background with Schrader sitting in the #28 old Ford coupe that was a frequent feature winner along with Bo Smith, Kevin Gundaker and Mike Hammerle.
Gave me some pretty good advice there! Such a down to earth guy. Glad I got to meet him and talk to him before he stopped traveling outside of Missouri. I'm glad someone recorded all of that at the end there.
Fun interview, nice guy and heck of a modified driver!! Sprint, Midgets, Modifieds, and Motorcycles, on dirt; all my favorite!! You make great videos, HMM!!
What an interview Don!!! Great perspective of a really cool racer that is really got it together! You can't beat Kenny Wallace!!! He wins the human race!!!
Another awesome video from HMM!! Thank you for that interview with Kenny. I grew up near Tri City Speedway, and the Wallace family have always been a part of local racing. I used to go to I55 raceway and Saint Francois county raceway as a kid . Seeing these videos bring back memories for me. I always cheered for the Wallace boys in Nascar, as well as Ken Schrader. Thank you for another great video. I became a sprint car fan as a young kid, but learned to love all sorts of racing because I grew up around it. My dad and family have always been around racing, and I’m glad you bring these memories back through your videos. I appreciate you HMM!
Thanks again Wes. Tri-City was one of the first tracks I ever went to as a little boy...USAC sprints. I think we just called it Granite City back then. Never forget it. Thanks for all your support! HMM
Kenny seems to be a guy who will talk to anybody about whatever they need to talk about. He always appears to be upbeat & supportive of anybody needing a bit of positive energy to guide them. I love that he has fun racing, but it looks like he has the best time with people. Thank you, Kenny for keeping racing about people & their love of cars instead of focusing on the corporate side of it.
Love me some Kenny Wallace what a good positive man I grew up around stock cars and love listening to drivers like him tell old race track story's . I live here in Volusia county and would like to wish you good luck at Volusia speedway park this year go get that Gator Kenny . and always remember you got this. sign Tommy Shirley the airboat guy
Thanks HMM! You are an amazing journalist. You ask the right questions before I get a chance to think them. You got to have an amazing opportunity with an amazing figure in the racing sport. I now feel like I know Kenny. It might be our age, but I sure do appreciate your attention to history and the things that are sentimental. I repeat, thank you for your attention to racing history and everything sentimental.
Kenny Wallace is a super human being every time I listen to him I learn so much! Thanks HMM for a great video I bet you had a fun night hanging with the Hermanator.
Another great video. Always liked Kenny Wallace. Seems like he is a peace with himself and his career. Your videos are really unique and interesting of the pits and behind the scenes. Limaland is a neat track. Hatses Off to HMM.
@HistoryMysteryMan I wish kenny well both of them come up to the boone super nationls I know Schrader ran a few yours back .be nice to jump in 1 and race against them iam older than hermanator and a couple years behind Schrader.
You would be great in the booth on Sundays or on pit road . Every week during race season. Your energy is unreal. What a guy ! I pulled for you on Sundays in that square D. It was so darn! Close several times , you were a great! Talent...
Kenny is the reason they came up with the saying " He never met a stranger" he's the same in every video no matter who is asking the questions or filming it. By and large i'm a drag racing fan and a Kenny Wallace fan so whatever he drives or talks about I watch and he is a motivational speaker for sure.
Kenny Wallace,what a wonderful person,.Glad you got to spend time with Kenny,Frankie,and Ryan,that was time well spent.Kenny is a good story,he knows everybody from corporate leaders to the ticket taker,he loves life and he shares his time and wisdom with all.Great interview as always.thank you for the show.
You're welcome...good to hear from you again Hocking Hills Honey Farm. By the way, I love all three of those things: Hocking Hills, Honey and Farms...thanks. HMM
I actually been to the UNOH school when I was looking for a school to continue my automotive education. I remember parking my RV in the Pizza Hut parking lot and going over to take a tour. Then I was going to drive over to Limaland, and flat forgot. Yet I did make it by Eldora, and at least got to see that track. Now I agree start as low buck as you can in racing. My way was to just work on other people's cars. Because there is no way I could drive a car on some of these rough tracks, with the back injuries I got when I was younger.
