Dam straight! This is America, you got a car, you got the money! You pass tech. You qualify. You in! Just about every boys dream in America to be able to race the Daytona 500! Faith is all you need Mike. The talent and family have your back. I will be praying for you!
I saw the headline that 65 year old racer was entertaining the Daytona 500 and my first guess was Derrick Cope. Ha its brother Mike! Just heard one of Dave Moody's shows last week and it was with Mike Wallace at age 61 at the time of the interview. He was defiantly not retired. Rock on you master of real life draftycar racing!❤
My dad died on december 19th 2023 from a heart attack, he was 59. Through that dark time your videos helped me a lot. I wish to you,your entire family,brother Rusty, and brother Mike all the best for this year. I will be cheering for Mike at Daytona 500. He deserves this opportunity. Best wishes from Croatia.
Sorry to hear that. It's been a while but my dad also died of a heart attack April 7th 2003. He was too young as well. He was 46. Racing got me through it as well. Wish you the best.
Wishing Mike the Best and a great finish Herm! I'd bet money Rusty could do it also! Age means nothing! Talent is Damn Talent and those Wallace Boys have it! 👍💯
I’m 59 and I know age is NOT “nothin’l But I believe Mike will do fine. It’s possible that he could do really well. I’m not sure I’d take that risk (crazy speeds for old bones to take a sudden deceleration) but I applaud him for choosing to.
GO MIKE!!! Age is only a number for some people. There are folks decades younger that become "old" because they stop doing things, and all too often die younger than they should. Then there are folks that stay active and live to some impressive ages vital all the way. I say again, GO MIKE! I'm a fan.
Hey Kenny. I am from Ontario Canada and have 4 Day Trioval Daytona 500 Passes. For over 10 years now. I am 67. I will be cheering for Mike to have a great safe 500 race. I will be in the stands the night of qualifying so I sure hope he can make the show. Happy for Mike Wallace.
Here's another Mike fan!!! I sincerely hope Mike gets it done. Get some diecasts out there on the market. I can't wait. All you Wallace guys were (are!) always favorites of my Dad and me (and Shrader too!!).
Kenny, great news, good for Mike! I saw his last NASCAR win, It was so good to see! Please do me a favor - please hold down on the language. My boy came in while I was watching and looked at me like daddy, why are you watching that.😮
If laughter is the best meditation we need to rename you "Dr. Herman" you make me laugh and is a feel good moment bitchen at your dog. Listening to you has become a addiction. Keep it coming.
I'm hoping Mike makes the field, age is just a number. Kenny at age 65, I ran the Winchester 400 and did quite well, not going to say no more because you will know what my true identity is......
Why not,I'm 65 and I still do the things I have always done.I will be pulling for you.when I heard this I thought,heck yes I'm with you on that.Have a great time and enjoy! No pressure!
Go Mike, Go! Wishing you the best and make sure you are in good shape. I am 62 and work hard to maintain good conditioning. Do your best and finish well!
Great to here that Mike will give it a shot. Saw him race at the Milwaukee Mile in the USAC races back in the day in the #66 Ventura. It would be great to see him race some ARCA races like Springfield and Du Quoin.
Herm. Glad your brother is going to grace Daytona with his presence and hopefully qualify. I’ll be rooting for him. I’d volunteer to be the coffee runner girl or whatever else they need in the pits if they’d have me! Maybe I’d get to meet you too ❤️🥰 Don’t worry Kim - Kenny’s heart belongs to you obviously. But I sure as hell would love to get a side by side with him and his smiling face.
I wish Mike the best. It's almost like the good ole days when 60 cars would show up for 43 starting positions. Dreams were thearted and dreams came true. That added to the drama of the show. It was Speedweek! Making the show was part of the show. I say more power to him and to Derricke Cope also.
Kenny when I first heard this, I thought Mike was crazy. After hearing the backstory, I totally understand. I hope Mike has a great race and enjoys himself. My condolences to Mike and the entire family.
Takes me back to hearing Mark Martin explain why he doesn’t get back in the car…. HIS CHOICE… paraphrasing……”””it’s no fun if I’m not going out there to win…and if I race part time, I will never be at my best mentally or physically…. I wouldn’t have the edge needed to win and I’d be wasting my time and the time of the crew that puts the deal together””” I think we all know that is Marks personality… Now, the choice is for each individual to make on their own, no judgement from any of us…
2004 Winn-dixie 250 twentyfive year's ago was the greatest win at Daytona in Mike wallaces career if he could win that race and win a Daytona 500 in 2025 that will be the best back to back wins in the greatest show on the planet
Kenny, Rusty was my driver of choice back in the day, all my RC cars were painted in the Miller 2, but you were a close second. Your vid’s are great. Best of luck to Mike!
Thank you for bringing this up Kenny because I didn’t really like some of these other RUclipsrs what they were saying yesterday one of them Eric estepp. I told him to show some respect to this guy is a goat when it comes to Daytona.
Love you Kenny!!! I will be rooting brother Mike on he deserves it. I would like to see you and Schrader run a dirt late model. I know it cost money but I think it would be great for y’all and the sport🏁
I'm 69 years old and don't lie to myself. I'm not 49, not 59 but 69 years old. I quit riding motorcycles after 50 years because I no longer have the reactions necessary to avoid red light running drunks. His reactions are simply not up to driving 190mph in a draft...NO 65 year old's reactions are. Paul Newman raced at that age and later said he was endangering other drivers......... I just hope Mike doesn't hurt someone.
Hey Herman I was in the local flea market here in Muncie Indiana this morning and I picked up an old Racing Champions 1991 Dry Cox treatment lumber #36 1:64 dicast with a collectors card inside. Would love to show you buddy!
At 65 if Mike thinks he can handle the physical stress of the Daytona 500, go for it. I'll be cheering him on.
Its more mental than physical at Daytona. 500 miles at Bristol is way more demanding.
@@brianlecorchick Yep. Like Kenny said. Still, Daytona is no easy task.
I'm 66 , Darn tooting Skippy. I'm rooting for him.😊😊😊
Dam straight! This is America, you got a car, you got the money! You pass tech. You qualify. You in! Just about every boys dream in America to be able to race the Daytona 500! Faith is all you need Mike. The talent and family have your back. I will be praying for you!
This is awesome news. I really hope Mike qualifies for the 500.
Congrats Mike! Nice to see a Wallace back at Daytona.
I twll you what, this Daytona 500 just got way more interesting for me. I definitely know who I am rooting for.
Let’s go Mike! Wish you the best at Daytona. Happy New Year!
Mike has race in NASCAR cup before and has two wonderful brothers and friends that will be there for him.
TGIF Herman. The best of luck to Mike. You got to be in it, to win it 👍
From one 65 year old to another you already succeeded, wish you all the luck God bless you 💪🏁

Nothing wrong with that. I wish him all the best and hope he qualifies well. Looking forward to watching him race again.
Totally agree 👍. Hope Mike wins 🎉
Rode with him in a rental car to the airport after a race in Phoenix once. Got there pretty quick.
Hey Kenny. I am from Ontario Canada and have 4 Day Trioval Daytona 500 Passes. For over 10 years now. I am 67. I will be cheering for Mike to have a great safe 500 race. I will be in the stands the night of qualifying so I sure hope he can make the show. Happy for Mike Wallace.
I worked for James Finch when Mike drove that car . Looking forward to seeing him behind the wheel again.
Here's another Mike fan!!! I sincerely hope Mike gets it done. Get some diecasts out there on the market. I can't wait. All you Wallace guys were (are!) always favorites of my Dad and me (and Shrader too!!).
I’ll be rooting for brother Mike! I’m expecting him to get top five if not first! I’m excited for him n hope he does well! I love the show Kenny!
Great for him, live life!
Hope he wins and God bless him.
Kenny, great news, good for Mike! I saw his last NASCAR win, It was so good to see! Please do me a favor - please hold down on the language. My boy came in while I was watching and looked at me like daddy, why are you watching that.😮
Use earbuds. Obviously the child ain't in school yet. Sorry but just damn.
That’s awesome news, I hope Kenny will run the Daytona 500 with Mike
Herman, you and Mike have given me a reason to watch Daytona. God speed, Mike. I'll be rooting for you.
Haven't been much interested in cup lately but this news has me wanting to tune in for 500 .. Go Mike!
Good for Mike! I'm happy for him and wish him the best!
If laughter is the best meditation we need to rename you "Dr. Herman" you make me laugh and is a feel good moment bitchen at your dog. Listening to you has become a addiction. Keep it coming.

Ken Schrader and Kenny Wallace’s word is good enough for me. Kenny is a funny man. Thanks Brother!
Ive been a big mike wallace fan for years, i hope he and carl long make the show and do good
Why not,I'm 65 and I still do the things I have always done.I will be pulling for you.when I heard this I thought,heck yes I'm with you on that.Have a great time and enjoy! No pressure!
I like how you do that crazy eye thing! It made me laugh 😂! I'll be pulling for Mike!
Now I have a reason to watch the race! Go Mike!
Go Mike, Go! Wishing you the best and make sure you are in good shape. I am 62 and work hard to maintain good conditioning. Do your best and finish well!
You only got one life live it! I'll be rooting for your brother to make the show!!!
mike im 68 years old and i will be in your corner dawg, wish i could be there and be in your pit cheering you on buddy
Well look at how long Morgan shepherd kept racing 🤔. So awesome Mike 🙋♀️
Great to here that Mike will give it a shot. Saw him race at the Milwaukee Mile in the USAC races back in the day in the #66 Ventura. It would be great to see him race some ARCA races like Springfield and Du Quoin.
Make that the #16 car. Rusty was in the #66 car.
❤ Go Mike!!! Go have the time of your life. Enjoy the event .
Herm. Glad your brother is going to grace Daytona with his presence and hopefully qualify. I’ll be rooting for him.

I’m so excited for brother Mike to attempt this; now I can’t wait for the quals!!! He’ll be in our prayers!!!
Best of luck to Mike. He will do great because he is a racer
He will make the race, i bet he qualifies and prob run decent. Awesome story here. I will be rooting for him
Remember Morgan Shepard? Go Mike Go! I think now I just found a reason to pay attention to NASCAR this February.
I love it. I’ll be pulling for Mike!!
Sorry to hear about your brother’s wife. I know you’re all behind him go for it Mike and be safe.
Go Mike Go!
Takes me back to hearing Mark Martin explain why he doesn’t get back in the car….

100% rootin for Mike! Never seen him race, but I’m excited that he’s going for it
I hope Mike has a great run. To have a Wallace back in a race is pure history
Thank you for bringing this up Kenny because I didn’t really like some of these other RUclipsrs what they were saying yesterday one of them Eric estepp. I told him to show some respect to this guy is a goat when it comes to Daytona.
I support Mike all the way if he wants to do it he should you better be there so we can get updates from your coffee with Kenny
I'll be cheering for Mike once again!
Go get them, I can't wait for the 2025 Speedweek at Daytona!
Mark Thompson was 66 in 2018...btw
It may get me to watch the race
The last time I checked this is still a free country and if you can do it just do it good luck Mike Wallace 🏁🏁🏁
Would love to see Mike win that one
Love you Kenny!!! I will be rooting brother Mike on he deserves it. I would like to see you and Schrader run a dirt late model. I know it cost money but I think it would be great for y’all and the sport🏁
We adore you, Herman !
Oh my gosh, your interactions with your dogs iare hilarious!! Mike Wallace, carpe diem...seize the day! Go chase that dream and Rock on!
Good for Mike Awesome
I'm pulling for Mike he can do it once he gets used to the new gearbox it'll all come back to him Good luck Mike. 💪🇺🇸💪
If Mike thinks he can still compete, I say good for him.
I love it. If he wants to do it more power to him. I’ll watch and enjoy every minute of it while he’s doing it.
Your MUG with the Sunoco MUG would look good on the Hood of your brother’s car.
Coffee with Kenny!
I would buy that die cast.
Good luck to Mike hope he qualifies for the race. I think it will be cool to see him running a Cup Series race again.
I'm 69 years old and don't lie to myself. I'm not 49, not 59 but 69 years old. I quit riding motorcycles after 50 years because I no longer have the reactions necessary to avoid red light running drunks. His reactions are simply not up to driving 190mph in a draft...NO 65 year old's reactions are. Paul Newman raced at that age and later said he was endangering other drivers......... I just hope Mike doesn't hurt someone.
I think it's awesome I hope he makes the field. still remember his first start back in 91 with Jimmy means pontiac
Well put Kenny
I don't even watch NASCAR and I hope he makes the race and runs well.
Go Mike Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go for it!! He can do it 👍
I like the way you tell it like it is and Glad Mike is doing well and Sorry about his wife.🙏👍😀
good luck to your brother mike hope to see him in the front for the duels at daytona
Lets go Mike!!!
Great to see him back racing!
Good get the win mike
👍🤠 when you said you exaggerate shit to make a point . Rush Limbaugh used to say “he demonstrates obserdy by being obsered”
Once a racer, always a racer. Best of luck Mike !!
Oh, I would love to see Mike & Carl Long quality and put together a great finish @ Daytona 👍
Hope brothers Mile has some fun
I think that’s awesome I’ma be pulling for your brother Mike let’s go
Props to you Mike, have good run and best of luck
This isgood for mike. Im all for it. It encourages me to continue racing at 48
I head Kenny is running full time next season in the Spire Motorsports trucks with crew chief jeff "hollywood" Hammond
😂😂😂😂
Miss you Kenny
How about seeing the 61 year old brother in the pit changing tires ?? Kenny I think you can still do it. Great channel Sir
Hey Herman I was in the local flea market here in Muncie Indiana this morning and I picked up an old Racing Champions 1991 Dry Cox treatment lumber #36 1:64 dicast with a collectors card inside. Would love to show you buddy!
Love you Herman. Your my therapy buddy. You make me laugh !!!!
I think Mike can run well. He’s going to have a Yates motor. If he hangs in there, misses the crashes, he could win. I love that!
