Janet and I stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Gainesville, FL. when our son had his surgery - what a BLESSING they were to us ! Thanks for the GREAT interview, Kenny and Ed !! Take care and God bless !!!
One of the best Kenny conversations! BTW, My wife and I enjoyed seeing and hearing you at the church service this past February at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. My wife still comments about some of the things you said in a great way!
Been a NASCAR fan forever. Never heard of Ed Rensi until now and feel like I’ve missed out. WOW. Love this guy and the way he talks. He thinks like me for sure. Awesome guest. He speaketh the truth and most people don’t like that nowadays. They like what they’ve been spoon fed by the media and enjoy being controlled. Ed is my kindred spirit.
Great interview I had lunch with Ed in the late 80s His brother Sam was superintendent of Consol 4 a coal mine in southern Illinois and customer of mine Was an experience I will always remember
Great to see Ed looking so healthy. We used to land the airplane for ice cream. He loved them. ER is one smart cookie. KW cannot wait till the next one with ER.
Kenny,all I can say this hit home with Ed Rensi..I'm 59 huge fan of Motorsports.. believe have ur autograph..my sister had Leukemia, diagnosed when 2..I was few yrs older ..mom was member of RMH ,and Leukemia Society..my sis was a trooper..delt with it for 14 yrs ..I was a Sr. She was freshman,on cheerleading squad ...but loss the battle...my 1st funeral...but I do remember the support, with Ronald McDonald hse it's still there I drive by it almost daily...rite here in Jegs county.. Columbus, OH...love u man! Just FYI great friends with the Carpenters Fast Freddie and Tyler.. super late models which I'm sure u know bet I can get them on ur show,? Be well my friend...BG .. Columbus, OH...
Incredible Story about sponsorship and marketing!!! Thanks Mr Rensi! BTW: I worked the counter and grill in 1966 at McDonald’s and that’s where the similarities end …
Ask crew members / vets, who happen to be black,... if the service was bigoted, and if it was to a greater extent that civilian life! == Since 2016, NASCAR & Brian France have been TOO political ❗ ==
One of my greatest conspiracies about BO, is that he made it okay for white women to date black men. I'm not trying to be prejudice or nothing, I love all walks of life, and I certainly hope I don't get in a lot of trouble for saying this, but lets face it, women in the world today don't want guys like me anymore, unless they have a large bank account, and are whatever qualifies as sexy by the standards and norms in society today, and have big sausages, LOL. I need to wake up and face facts, that I don't fit the mold for any of those things, LOL. I'll be much happier, once I stop living the lies, and indulging the ways I try to cope and rationalize, with situations I face personally in everyday life. I mean interracial relationships have been around for decades, they are just more largely accepted in society today than they have ever been before, and seeing the direction that the problems in the world today in general are headed for, I believe I am perfectly fine, if I go on living the rest of my life as a confirmed bachelor. There have been great men that have lived damn good lives as lifelong bachelors, the late Robin Miller comes to mind for me, he had a damn good time covering the heroes of American Motorsports past and present, until the day he left this earth. For the record, I am a Millennial that was born in the early 90's, and I have had an unwavering love for NASCAR most of my life, there is no other way I'd rather spend my weekends than tuning into the TV and taking in a race, the greatest sport in the world, much love and respect to Kenny Wallace for having this podcast, and telling some of the great stories of the sport, such as that of Mr. Rensi. This story was worth an hour of my time.
Well just proves what we all have been thinking on that side Great interview KW . PS. shows how shady things are around us . More people need to see this ya dig.
I am a drag racer who loves all forms of racing, never heard of Ed until now, what a great man, I like his tell it like it is personality, can’t wait to hear parts 2 3 4
GREAT interview. Growing up in Chicago area, I remember Santa Fe, Lasalle Speedway, Illini Speedway. I had season tickets for Chicagoland when they opened.
I can't believe this man is who he is. He's a real human being. Such a great man and interview. This speaks highly of you as well Herman. Not everyone can get a man of his caliber on a show... Also, something about Ed reminds me of Mark Martin.
57:00 I think in two years at the top series NASCAR could fix the issues that the other players have not been able to do. If you could swap batteries you could go see your brother without wasting an extra day. NASCAR would bring that to light in the first week.
Loved hearing that Ed has and Loves his SSR Truck! PLEASE let him know to check out the SSR Fanatic web site, event section. Next year will host the SSR International Rally in Michigan. As its an anniversary for this iconic truck, GM is participating. They will be bringing out several SSR's from there private collection including original prototypes.. From one gear head to another.... its an event he may be interested in. If your interviewing Joey logano.... ask him about his SSR! Great episode, it was a very easy watch. Thanks
Ok...he had me at the Drive-Thru, he kept me at the Ronald McDonald House.....incredible. He's who is meant when saying 'starting from the bottom now we're here' ✌️🤟
A mixture of fact-based good stories and some opinions that have another side. Ed seemed to be confused about Formula 1 needing 2 cars because they run out of battery power. I think he was referring to Formula E, not Formula 1. In fact, the 10 teams in F1 have 2 cars, 1 for each of their 2 drivers. The current rules do not allow backup cars as they did years ago. I've been a motorsports fan for over 70 years. True motorsports fans enjoy all racing series, perhaps not equally, but refrain from tearing down some series over others.
Most revealing interview on NASCAR ever. Period. I always thought tv money killed it. America may not survive Obama. But to be fair, Slick Willie and GWB are no different. Thanks for this info.
I didn’t support or vote for Clinton. But he was much better a president than anyone after Billy Willy, and better president than anyone between Reagan and JFK. I don’t like how he did it but at least he had budget awareness.
I stood in the lobby during our lunch rush and handed out the new chicken nuggets and for some reason they were a lot better than they are now. Bait and switch or growing up either way Mac’s steak house does not appeal to me anymore. 🤮
Every show at the end I say that’s the best one yet! And AGAIN I say this is the best one yet! Loved it! Suggestion… PJ Jones as a guest, he has done it all, nascar cup,truck,imsa,score off road, dirt cars,midgets super trucks and Indy, he would be a great addition. Just a thought. Thanks for a great show,watching from the Deep South, Cape Town South Africa.
Damn Kenny , that guy was awesome. Ive never heard what he had to say. His Dale Earnhardt story showed the humanity in us all. One of your best i must say. Stay loud , i love ya.
At the end your guest was about revel a conversation with Kelly Earnhardt regarding starting a cup team. Too bad you cut him off as this would have been really interesting.
You guys mentioned that everything at Jr. Motorsports belongs to Hendrick.. Is the same thing true with everything that is the Wood Bros. belong to Penske ?
That's exactly when I stopped watching nascar as much as I had. The NFL followed the same template. I had the privilege of holding a flag on the field for veterans day after returning home from Afghanistan. But when the NFL started kneeling I quit watching games. I've watched three games in 8 years. Sad chapter's in our history.
Wow What a great guy who loves cars, racing and a very very intelligent man! I hope he gets back into NASCAR just so he can have a larger voice to "right the ship"!
Imagine living in a country where it's the largest food producer in the world yet the citizens can't eat any of it because all the food is being controlled be China and sent there. 🤔
KENNY, Better watch your 6 buddy.. Those People don't take criticism too well. Dear old Barry's man Big Mike may pay you a visit when you least expect it..
Though I do appreciate this episode, I gotta say that unless he’s a been bullshiting us, Dale Jr lives and breaths this sport. He’s been vocal about how nascar is not a place to make money. If Hendrick Motorsports hasn’t made a profit in 10 years, I can’t even begin to fathom how much money Dale and Kelly are possibly losing with JRM. Look I’m just a schmuck from buttfuck Wisconsin, but from all the time I’ve listened to DJD, various interviews, and so on, Dale jr seems like a ride or die nascar guy. He would have packed up and dipped after the 2017 season if he didn’t want to be here anymore.
@@deliriouswhome1 my bad, I kinda suck at commenting anything that isn’t a shit post. Since I posted my comment I’ve seen past clips of Dale Jr discussing how JRM barely breaks even on the xfinity side. If your not to interested in motorsports, and you had the money Dale Jr has from whatever else he invests money in, why would you stay around and make essentially make little to no money? It just doesn’t make sense to me.
@@tipsywizard7865 junior has talked about why he doesn't cup cars.. and that's there money at next level.. He wouldn't have multiple cars, in Xfinity, if there was no profit involved..
Herman. Super EXCEPTIONAL, OUTSTANDING! In addition, To the Narrow Minded, this was not a Political ADD for anyone. It was not intended, Directed, or squeezed into a political narrative. If someone or group viewed it that way I feel so very sorry for your Perverted Democrat shortcomings. Great interview Kenny with one of the most interesting persons possible for American 🇺🇸 Business, Racing,and Patriotic Association.
Hands down best interview I've seen in a long time. I knew the lesbian in thief hated anything America. But I think Nascar, for me died with Dale Sr. Man what a run. I'm same age as Kenny. Always been a fan and come from that era. All the time changes and advertising just don't sit well. Don't understand it anymore. Get in, sit down, shut up hang on! was our way. When men were men. Y'all had to be there!
Not only this fine gentleman but most of the fans feel exactly like he does . I love Nascar but the powers that be there owe a huge apology to the fans especially those who attended talladega and Bubba lying a$$ rope wallace bull shxt !
Janet and I stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Gainesville, FL. when our son had his surgery - what a BLESSING they were to us ! Thanks for the GREAT interview, Kenny and Ed !! Take care and God bless !!!
Very legit. My nephew stayed there while his daughter was at Shands.
So glad he came to his senses so many years ago. There's a lot of people today that need to follow his lead!!
Obama did this country no favors on many levels. What he started when he took the presidency we are seeing the byproduct of it now.
Ed is the man. This is probably my favorite guest you have had
thx Mitch, yours is coming up soon!
One of the best Kenny conversations! BTW, My wife and I enjoyed seeing and hearing you at the church service this past February at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. My wife still comments about some of the things you said in a great way!

Meet him many years ago at Dover when Mike McLaughlin was driving for him, a very standup good guy.
As opposed to yourself who just spits out the same tired media controlled garbage. You're a real free thinker. Sure.
Great interview I had lunch with Ed in the late 80s His brother Sam was superintendent of Consol 4 a coal mine in southern Illinois and customer of mine Was an experience I will always remember
Great to see Ed looking so healthy. We used to land the airplane for ice cream. He loved them. ER is one smart cookie. KW cannot wait till the next one with ER.
Amazing Herminator. This was another awesome interview. Down to earth folks just talking, loved it. Thank you, cheers

BO created alot of problems in this country, not just NASCAR

Yes because the war criminal before him was just an angel.
Still waiting for those weapons of mass destruction…
@@skaterboy708 i wonder why all the war criminals love him and Biden and hate trump and us...
Thank you Kenny! Best conversation you’ve ever done!! I could have listened for hours. I’d love to know see you to talk with Randy Tolsma someday.
All I can say is WOW, Kenny Wallace if there is a Grand Slam in Podcasts you just hit one with this episode! Cant wait for part 2 and 3! Thanks..
Well just proves what we all have been thinking on that side Great interview KW . PS. shows how shady things are around us . More people need to see this ya dig.

That was an exceptional interview Kenny. I can't wait to see the next one, that hour went very fast.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND AMERICA AND RACING have him back on!!!! Awesome!
US Marine veteran 100% ed the man! Gotta keep this conversation going.
Love hearing the business side of NASCAR, I didn't realize all this time Rensi was a former CEO of McDonald's
What a great conversation. I learned so much and loved every minute of it.
GREAT interview. Growing up in Chicago area, I remember Santa Fe, Lasalle Speedway, Illini Speedway. I had season tickets for Chicagoland when they opened.
Hi Ed -
I passed this on to Mr. S Stein. Jason! Hope your family is doing well!
What an interesting interview, Kenny u keep cranking them out, Thank You.
I can't believe this man is who he is. He's a real human being. Such a great man and interview. This speaks highly of you as well Herman. Not everyone can get a man of his caliber on a show... Also, something about Ed reminds me of Mark Martin.

A man after my own heart! Tells it like it is. Bring him on as your co-host.
Thank you Kenny I knew nothing about Ed before this conversation and it was very interesting. Thank you for doing what you do and being so genuine!
NASCAR goes electric I will not watch.
We spent a few weeks the Ronald McDonald house in Chicago over 20 years ago after one of out twins had major issues at birth. I agree it is Legit.
The first Ronald MacDonald House was in south Jersey spear headed by Fred Hill and the Philadelphia Eagles. Thankfully, Ed Rensi liked the idea.
Ronald McDonald foundation is his greatest achievement if he had anything to do with it because it is a great charity.
One of the most insightful interview you have done yet. Captivating. Well done
Most revealing interview on NASCAR ever. Period.
I always thought tv money killed it.
America may not survive Obama. But to be fair, Slick Willie and GWB are no different.
Thanks for this info.
I didn’t support or vote for Clinton. But he was much better a president than anyone after Billy Willy, and better president than anyone between Reagan and JFK. I don’t like how he did it but at least he had budget awareness.
Loved the conversation about McDonald's. Had no idea that was his background. As a kid I always thought Bobby Hamilton Jr's McDonald's car was slick.
I stood in the lobby during our lunch rush and handed out the new chicken nuggets and for some reason they were a lot better than they are now. Bait and switch or growing up either way Mac’s steak house does not appeal to me anymore. 🤮
Thanks for the great interview Kenny!

wow, South Africa!
BoyHowdy !Southside of Milwaukee loved this !!!
Now they wonder why recruitment is down. I remember no fly overs and all the anti American pride gone.
This guy is awesome never knew about him. Can’t wait for the next segments.
I want more of Ed
Maybe you should study up .they own most the graineries in America and hold most the farmers hostage .
Great interview, thanks guys!
Damn Kenny , that guy was awesome. Ive never heard what he had to say. His Dale Earnhardt story showed the humanity in us all. One of your best i must say. Stay loud , i love ya.
Liking this video already! Great start
At the end your guest was about revel a conversation with Kelly Earnhardt regarding starting a cup team. Too bad you cut him off as this would have been really interesting.
Excellent video! One of your best 👍
Love this guy!! Hope he comes on again. Seems you steered the ship away from the Jr conversation? Would have liked to hear the rest of his comments.
Great conversation - Thanks Kenny!!
You guys mentioned that everything at Jr. Motorsports belongs to Hendrick.. Is the same thing true with everything that is the Wood Bros. belong to Penske ?
Now look what America is today
Wonderful guest Kenny, thank you.
Herman, Great interview and should be part of a Netflix special. It has me making too many comments 😂😂😂
I definitely want to hear more from Ed.
Fireball is the man. Good friends with my grandpa. See him every year at the Illinois Stock Car Hall of Fame
Columbus oh? Whitehall oh? Holy cow. I grew up in Whitehall and graduated from Whitehall yearling high school.
That's exactly when I stopped watching nascar as much as I had. The NFL followed the same template. I had the privilege of holding a flag on the field for veterans day after returning home from Afghanistan. But when the NFL started kneeling I quit watching games. I've watched three games in 8 years. Sad chapter's in our history.
The Neflux documtary on the McDonald brothers, The Founder, is great.
One reason why I pass by smitthfield products
Great interview!!!
Good stuff Herm!
Wow What a great guy who loves cars, racing and a very very intelligent man! I hope he gets back into NASCAR just so he can have a larger voice to "right the ship"!
I agree with the below comments...and I leaned quite a bit. Ed is a gem!
Imagine living in a country where it's the largest food producer in the world yet the citizens can't eat any of it because all the food is being controlled be China and sent there. 🤔
Man that was fantastic Kenny 😁
What a Great interview KW!
Cost to even go to a race is staggering. And personally nascar has become IROC not racing barff
Love the history lesson about McDonald’s. Well spoken and great story.
KENNY, Better watch your 6 buddy.. Those People don't take criticism too well. Dear old Barry's man Big Mike may pay you a visit when you least expect it..
"More money than God" and "Im winning every day"
Wow the confidence in this guy. What a life.
Looking forward to part 2

Why is RUclips not allowing ne to share this ?
THANKS FOR THE CONTENT> GOOD JOB
Keep the politics out of Nascar and stop the racist bullshit, i love black women ❤❤❤❤. I have black niece's and nephews and black friends.
You probably have a pair of black shoes too.
Overall a great interview
Great conversation. Speaking the truth takes bravery. 🇺🇸🏁
Great video
Ed sounds like he'd be a cool neighbor. But too bad he was CEO of a restaurant that sells flavorless, way overpriced, no nutritional crap.
Thank you Kenny and Ed.
They need to get back to the Speedy concept#facts
He spoke the truth
Its not what you eat, its how much of what you eat that is the problem.
Hands down best interview I've seen in a long time. I knew the lesbian in thief hated anything America. But I think Nascar, for me died with Dale Sr.
Man what a run. I'm same age as Kenny. Always been a fan and come from that era. All the time changes and advertising just don't sit well. Don't understand it anymore. Get in, sit down, shut up hang on! was our way. When men were men. Y'all had to be there!
EDs awesome
i would go racing again with ED and Ronnie for sure
Kenny, that picture you posted of your wife on Facebook is hilarious. She looks like Kenny Schrader in drag. 🤣
Don't.
they said the Francis scott key bridge builder was racist 😂 i’m like wtf does that have to do with the bridge being hit 😅
Imagine how great this guy would be if McDonald's employee's wanted to unionize???🤣
That was awesome. He is a great Guy.
Not only this fine gentleman but most of the fans feel exactly like he does . I love Nascar but the powers that be there owe a huge apology to the fans especially those who attended talladega and Bubba lying a$$ rope wallace bull shxt !
Why drag McDonald's into your politics i dont get it.
This man is a leader and smart as hell.
