- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Back in 1988 Rusty Wallace fired up a Busch Series team with his brother @KennyWallace36 as the driver. Kenny raced out of THIS building at the very beginning of his NASCAR career. He has not been back inside since '93! Rusty sold the team to Felix Sabates of SABCO racing who ran Kenny in the cup series for one year before letting him go to FILMAR Racing, where the former shop can be found in part two below!

This video was completely impromptu... These people were caught off guard with a rolling camera when we walked in 😂After this we went to the former FILMAR Racing shop where the famous Red Dog and Square D cars came from! Find that video here: ua-cam.com/video/WsNhIE9xfoA/v-deo.html
That video was incredible too, I love watching these videos about former shops
You guys were really lucky that they were fans of the channel, him just barging into that working shop with rolling cameras and starting a shop tour without really asking for permission and such, icluding stopping all work activity was hilarious!
I'll never understand how anyone could not like/love Hermin. Thank You Mitchell, Miss Logan and Kenny for taking us along down memory lane
Thanks man 💪🏻
He's just #goodpeople. But he'll always be known for pushing Sr to his final win. That was a GREAT last 4 laps at D£GA
Kenny seems like a really nice genuine guy, wish nothin but the best for him
He really is. I have met him multiple times and he treats everyone like family.
He's maybe the best ambassador for the sport there is
@@harrygaydosz73 Totally Agree
Hands down one of the greatest human beings around! Kenny Schrader is another one but Herman has that personality
Kenny just walking in out of nowhere into that shop introducing himself and talking.. reminds me so much of my dad and uncles when I was a kid who wherever they went or shops they went to or whatever would just walk in and start talking and introducing themselves "never met a stranger" type vibe.. I love it and glad you keep that stuff in these videos
Thanks Jason. It was fun!
Kenny should be a re-occurring guest host on the channel. He's an excellent tour guide and first-hand historian. That, and he doesn't "make phone calls or haggle around--[he] just walks in and says 'hey, get outta my shop!'" 😂
I am down for that. Story time with herm is always fun. Wish he still lived in NC 😂
Walking in with a live camera - classic. Big shout out to Gerber Collision for going along and being welcoming to letting you guys do this impromptu tour like this. And Kenny's such a personality, I can't get tired of listening to him talk about racing history.
With Kenny all you have to do is start the camera and he just goes! Ya can’t help but like him. Good job again. I’m lovin this stuff!
I agree 😂 thanks man
Kenny sure did listen to Rusty, he never stopped being nice. How can you not love the Hermanator!
Kenny is a class act. He always includes a name to his driving days. He's so humble and appreciative. Hes also a funny guy that no one could refuse to let in a shop. Thanks guys great series.
Thank you Dennis!
That guys energy level is unbelievable, I'm not sure it would be possible to meet a happier more energetic guy than Kenny
There's no way you could! He's exactly like this all the time!
A guy like Kenny Wallace is one that draws a lot of people to him.
Imagine being a Body guy, workin away like any other day
You've been doing it for 20 + years, you know a bit of history about the building but not much
Then one day, out of NOWHERE, Kenny fucking Wallace walks in the door and starts tellin stories......
Fuckin AMAZING.
Another BANGER Mitch and Logan
Big Love From Australia
Great explanation 😂 thanks David
That would be a day at work you wont ever forget.
Lol it say COX !!!
COX and lumber in same sentence now that funny!
Nascar has not recovered since Earnhardt was killed. Truer words never spoken. Thanks for the great content.
Thank you Bryan
Lol I can't imagine anyone could ever be upset Herman shows up at their place of business and just let's himself in and starts telling stories
Right 😂
The Hermanator did a Kodiak throwback before throwbacks were even a thing.
And Bobby Labonte drove 44 like in Terry’s 1984 championship.
It’s fitting this is being done with Darlington and the All Star weekend around the corner.
I grew up in St. Louis from '70 to '99 and have lived in Orlando since. Best decision I ever made, but I spent a lot of time on Old Sugar Creek Rd in Fenton. Kenny is a very good example of the old school St. Louisian I remember. Funny, "The Man" shirt means a lot to anyone from the area. There are no fans like Card's fans.
think its cool that kenny pushed dale to his first 500.. Nobody else can say that
I agree. His last win
You guys are doing a great job, love this stuff. Really glad you were able to make a connection with Kenny. Makes me live my childhood at lake hill speedway all over again.
The connections, and rapport you’re building with everyone has to be an absolutely amazing adventure.
It really is! Learning so much
I was impressed with how clean Gerber Collision and Glass was. Kudos to them,Kenny, Mitchell,and of course Logan.
Pretty clean for not being prepared for filming I agree!
I love listening to Kenny's stories. Also, Shout out to Gerber Collision & Glass for being so nice and letting you take a tour of the old shop.
Mitch and Kenny this was an awesome video. Appreciate all you do as 2 great story tellers.
Thank you Chris
Always excited for Kenny
i just can not get enough of this kinda stuff! cant wait to see who you have on next, Kenny is a riot haha
Can’t go wrong with Kenny
Love how Kenny just walked in like he owned the place, haha
Wow! What an unscripted tour/ride in racing history. Keep up the good work, guys. You two are a team that is making it happen.
Thank you Michael!
I love in imperial mo myself iv been to 1-55 raceway to watch the legend drive. He is not only like that on camera he loves his fans he'll talk your war off though😅
I Like Buick Stage 2 V6 Engine NASCAR Busch Grand National Series From The 80s And Early 90s Thanks For Uploading
I never knew how much I liked Kenny Wallace until u introduced me to him. He has one of the best personalities!
30 years later and Kenny remembers everything I lived in Kannapolis as a kid/teenager in the 90's yes these race shops were a big deal back then
Great job Kenny , memories of the past can be great thing ... love the story how it all started You have a great brother >> always was a Rusty fan ...
Love how Kenny just walks in and is like "I built this place, I'll just show myself around." Killer video !
Thank you Robert!
So glad you are documenting all these NASCAR stories that otherwise would be lost to time. So much of this covers what I'll always consider the Golden Age of stock car racing. Like Kenny said Dale's death immediately changed the whole world of American stock car racing.
It really did! Everybody knows it too!
Kenny speaks truth when he says Nascar never recovered after losing Dale Sr. sad 😞
Kenny rocks 🤘👽🤘also really dig all the old nascar shops u got to keep up the good work ya”ll
Thanks man!!
When it was Winston it was really a big deal. Prior to Winston it was guys running modified street cars out of household garages pulling them to the track in their own pickup trucks on a flatbed trailer. Once Winston got in the money seemed to really kick up and the more dedicated racing shops seemed to start by the time kenny was getting in it seems the dedication was pretty heavy and the drivers were no longer the main guy making the race. By the end of Winston it was pretty well as big and elaborate as it ever got.
Lmao Kenny started walking around like he still owned the place🤣
Kenny is such a joy to listen to!
respect for gerber collision for also going along with the sudden video tour
What a great video ! Kenny Wallace is a very nice man. Love your channel !
Ok Mitchell and Logan go back a few years and tell us did you 2 ever think that you'd be doing this today. You're literally breathing life back into this history that we are losing more and more of every year. Thanks to you 2 for doing the leg work that it takes. Its crazy how talking to one person leads to this door/shop opening and then so on and so forth. Went from awesome rv's and badass booooom tubes to interviewing and taking tours with yesteryears superstars. That is so cool! Be proud of yourselves cuz what you're doing is so freaking awesome! And getting to show off Midnight with the man himself. Thats bucket list type stuff right there lol. Came along way since checking out Dale sr coach years ago, huh lol
Hit the nail on the head sir. I love what we are doing
@@Stapleton42 It's noticeable on camera that ya both do. We appreciate the hard work and traveling and all that tuff that goes along with this kind of content creation.
Hell yeah. Kenny just shows up and the star power takes over. I love how organic these videos are. Keep it up
“Dating back to biblical times” Brother, we’re in biblical times. Most just don’t realize it ❤ much love guys. Keep up the great videos 👏🤙
Thanks man 💪🏻
The blue green color inside the shop reminds of Dick Trickle's Heilig Meyers #90 car. But that was along time ago. I am sure that has nothing to do the color of the walls inside. Thank you for another great show!
Thank you Brad! That 90 car came from Donlaveys shop in Richmond VA
Kenny walking in impromptu then your videos being recognised. Legendary. The balls.....top work dude
Thank you Tom 😂
i'm still glad to see herm is herm on tv or wherever. he don't put on a personality. he is the personality. as for the sabco thing, did felix run a busch team he sold to the dick fella, totally separate from the cup team he then merged into ganassi and now is trackhouse? and, i'm sure you of all people are aware, but the last remaining vestige of DEI being on track in cup in any function was the font on the 1 car of kurt busch for ganassi.
The Wallace team became the 40 car in cup with the dirt devil deal. Sabates kept it going eventually becoming the coors car by numerical lineage
Great channel and video Mitch!! I’m old doctor who has always loved racing and your videos bring back a lot of great memories. Attended my first NASCAR race the Winston 500 at Talladega in 1972. David Pearson won. Cracked me up when Kenny almost dropped a F-bomb.
Thanks George me too. It was funny he caught himself lol
Another great trip down memory lane. Thanks Mitchell and Logan.
Great video. I have always liked Kenny.
The first scene gave me a great memory. I remember standing right there and looking down at that shop. And one of Kenny's Dirt Devil cars is sitting right in front of the first bay door. As I get the courage to walk down to that office. And hand them my Resume'. Trying to get my NASCAR career going. But that's another story.
Thanks for doing these great videos. I'm so glad it's getting big for you guys. You do such a great job, keeping the NASCAR history up of what is my favorite and closest to my heart, era.
Thanks man we are glad you’re here!
2:49 he’s talking about Dick Brooks. He owned the 40 team for awhile and sold it back to Felix.
Lmfao!!! Seeing Alan Kulwicki wearing a 80’s Cross Colors shirt takes me back. 😂
Losing Alan was a great loss. He was special. Great guy and great racer.
All the stories with Kenny are amazing keep up the great history, finding quest for future generations to know about
That’s the goal! Thanks man
You said it Kenny ❤️🍁🥲, The music did definitely STOP !
Always loved your energy Kenny Wallace!
Thanks for sharing you two, another great vidio! 👍🏻.
✌🏻🧡🤘🇨🇦. 🍁 Ontario.
Love it!! Kenny Wallace is the man! Thanks for another great video! Keep it coming!!Thanks !
Thanks man we will
Mitchell, thank you for the quick response. Please consider in the future doing some CARS Tour shop tours. As you know that tour is growing by leaps and bounds. I don't know if they even allow cameras in their shop, but the one I would really like to see is Dale Jr's late model shop. Carson Kvapil is winning everything. I think he is there every day. It is on Performance Road in Mooresville. Last I heard, there is supposed to be 5 cup drivers running at Wilkesboro next week in CARS.
They most likely wouldn’t want people to see what they were doing. I would like to drive a cars tour race someday though 😂
Hey Mitchell, this was another great video with the great Kenny Wallace. He really shines at moments like this it's nice to see the sincerity of the stories Love the mindset, history and emotions he shows. I have to say I always liked Kenney as race car driver, especially during his Cup years. All of his tv time, interviews and the announcing that he did back in the day. Much respect.
With that said, I also have to say that I've tries but can't get into his UA-cam channel. But again, great job here. Thanks to you all.
Nice.
Kenny is the man. Sure he made their day getting that visit.
Thanks Kenny and Stapleton.
I don't mean this in a bad way....... Kenny is everybody's 2nd place. No one knows who finished 2nd........ except for Dale's last win. And I think all of us Kenny AND Nascar fans are glad it was him. Jr. and Mikey would have been the only other acceptable other places that day.......In my opinion
Kenny is DA man for doing this! How great is this!?!?!? Going down memory lane is ALWAYS therapeutic!!
Congrats! Another gem of NASCAR history! NASCAR powers that be really should watch these. They can see what made NASCAR so good.
You guys gotta keep this partnership with Kenny going, its so good! And hats off to these folks at Gerber collision for just dropping everything to host you guys!
Thanks man!
Love watching the herminator! You guys should let him design a shirt of one of his cars id buy that in a heartbeat!
That’d be awesome lol
I am from Belgium, we don't have Nascar here but i was in Daytona in 1996 and i fell in love with Nascar. You also seem to have really nice weather in South Carolina.
You hit a home run with Kenny. The history you are bring to light is great.
These videos are just killer!!! The Wallace’s were my favorite as a kid in the 90s! You’re lucky as hell to be able to this with all these greats from the time when they were hero’s !!!!
Kenny is a great human. He is down to earth,humble and never tries to be above anyone else in life.
Great video. Kenny is a legend. So cool to document all of this for future generations. I started as a fan in the mid 80’s and really lost interest in mid 2000’s. I wasn’t a huge Dale Earnhardt fan but Kenny sure is right - things have not been the same since he’s been gone. Keep up the great work with these videos!
Great!! Only Kenny Wallace could walk in cold into a business accompanied by cameras, and immediately garner everyone's attention. Wow!
Right 😂
That was a pretty cool video. I actually saw Kenny Wallace last week when he was an Apple blossom parade. It was on top of a fire truck. He was the fire fighter's Marshal for the parade. I have a small video on my channel. Of him.
My favorite Nascar personality/driver is Herman. Thanks again you two...❤
Kenny could probably talk his way into literally any building, not just one he has history with and they know who he is. 🤣
Right? He could talk his way into a speakeasy wearing a cop uniform.
Anything and anyone involved in NASCAR history would be of interest - even the decorator. I bet she has "some stories" to tell. wink wink
"Leave the truck there. Lets just walk in live. We'll ask for forgiveness". Ive always found it easier to ask forgiveness rather than permission in some situations.
How awesome it would be to get Dale Jr, Mike Davis, Kenny Wallace, Darrell Waltrip, Jimmy Spencer and a few other great Nascar members together to sit and tell stories from the past
That would be a loud room 😂
Kenny: Screw making phone calls, I'm just going walk in there because I'm Kenny Wallace, love that man
We do too 😂
Yes! I think it would be quite interesting to have Ms Legare show us around her work.
Kenny is awesome!
Another awesome video of nascar history. Always was a Rusty fan. Good to see Kenny doing well and giving us a look into the past. Thanks to the body shop too, nice of them to let y'all in.
Man , I cld drive up to St Louis & hang out w/ #KennyWallace Great racecar driver & awesome person ! 🤘🏼🏁
Kenny Wallace the legend. Thank you for sharing and educating us.
Herman is a national treasure. Great show.
Love all your videos. The minute i see a new video pop up i am like got to drop what i am doing and watch. Great work must be awsome hanging with Herm one of my favorite drivers i cant get enough of him telling stories.
Thank you Mitchell, Logan, and Herman for taking us on another interesting piece of racing history.
Good morning Logan and Mitchell 😁
kenny may come off crazy but that advice rusty gave is probably the best pieces of advice anyone could give you
Great video I remember that team well, I was also at the race when Rusty wrecked Waltrip and got booed really bad so much fun 😊
That is Dope AF
Kenny is Legit 🏁
Kenny is the best! Great job guys!
Ol Herman I did love that Pink and Black 40 Dirt Devil.Cup car and somewhere I still have a 36 Cox's greatest lumber diecast car.. I am rambling on but keep up the great work
The Herminator. Herm and I met at Speedweeks sometime around 1990 at an establishment that remain unnamed. 🤔
Finally a insider tells the truth when Dale Sr died the Music Stopped great job nice video thanks
Those folks totally enjoyed you popping in. Made their day . Guaranteed
Freestyle history! Great content!
Thank you Kenny, thank you S.A.W. for making these happen 🙏
Thank you John!
Kenny was born for this gig IMO. He like DW all over again but for youtube lolo
Kenny Wallace has to be my favorite driver you have had on! He has such great energy and is so entertaining to watch.
Yea some men might have wanted to be Earnhardt, yet this man here did not. Because all I want is motorsports to invest in me as I most certainly have done for the majority of my 47 years. (Plainly put, I need to get paid to work as hard as I've worked for freefthy over that time frame.)
Mitchell, you do so much more behind the scenes for these videos. There are intros to make with the people currently in the buildings, and you have to get permission to video not only the interior but also the people. Awesome job!
Thank you Wayne!
