Ron Capps is such a great ambassador for NHRA. Extremely friendly and has a deep passion for his fans. Bought a cameo for my Dad for his birthday from Capps, in the video he told us to swing by the pit area at the next race we went to for a tour of his pit and trailer. I walked up and started talking to him about it and he said "that's right, I did that cameo for your Dad while I was in my garage. I hope you enjoyed it." He then proceeded to give us a tour of his trailer and pit area just like he said in the video. It was a busy day for him and he was being pulled in all directions but he took the time to stand by his word. Was glad to see him win that race in Charlotte too. You don't get that from most who are at the top of their sport unless you are some huge sponsor or donor. I'll be a Capps fan for life
Ron Capps is the epitome of a professional in his sport.
Always positive always sets a great example of grace.
Please do another 30 minutes with Ron. Would love to hear more.
I've been a fan of Ron's forever. I was so excited when he won that first title. He's an awesome racer and a really nice guy!
I met Ron Capps this year at the Gator Nationals in March this year. What a professional and gentleman. I can appreciate analysis of driving a top fuel Nitro burning funny car coming from a professional like Ron Capps. From a little racing I've done these guys are REAL WARRIORS! From a 150 " wheelbase to a 300" wheelbase what a perfect hand imation of how to hang on two different top fuel cars , I love it thanks Ron ! And yes you can do it kenny Wallace love your show.
Ron Capps is a legend and a badass! Nicest guy u will meet!
Ron Capps is the man! A couple of years ago I ran into him on the strip in Las Vegas. He was very cordial and a great representative of NAPA. Because I was a NAPA AutoCare shop owner, I've had the pleasure of interacting with Ron on numerous occasions. Ron is the real deal! Thank you Ron!!!
This is a great, fun video. Thank you, Mr. Wallace, and Mr. Capps. I'm older than both of you (John Force and I are similar in age) so I call you both Mr. out of love and respect.
What an honor and Pleasure meeting Ron Capps at the Gator Nationals this spring. He took liberty for two pictures of my wife and i including autographs a really great man and Ambassador to the sport, and that goes for you too Kenny Wallace love you Americans.
I m a big fan of Ron Capps he’s an amazing man I met him on an off when the nhra came to Atlanta drag way for years I sure do miss it now cause they built a Kia plant on the property but he’s so humble so kind one amazing man l love the conversation here with him l love Ron an l love you to Kenny
I'm being honest here, watching this interview made me realize Ron is my favorite driver today, no bs.
awesome!
This might be the best one yet Kenny. Coming from a lifelong Harvick fan, this one drew me in all the way. Aside from Nascar I've always been an NHRA fan and love everything Capps has done in his career. Got to watch Capps and Force make qualifying runs at the Northwest Nationals this year and was so excited to see both of them make passes!
WOW WOW WOW!!!!!! Another awesome AWESOME episode. Love Ron Capps, he mentioned Spokane that's where I live, have gone to that track for years and yes it's a crappie track lol (and probably not the best track owner back then either) but thank all you big time drag racers for coming here over the years. Love your show Kenny it's just getting better and better....
thank you 😊
Ron Capps ,what a great role model. As long as Ron Capps is sponsored by NAPA I'll buy Napa auto parts. Thank you Ron. Great interview Kenny.
Capps and Kenny, 2 class acts
What a fun time listening to you two! Thanks for a great episode Kenny.
One of the All Time Greats 💪
I ran into Ron in Deadwood South Dakota about a month ago during Kool Deadwood Nites car show.. I can't believe he remembered me from 2001.. He has a remarkable memory
Love how he will try and race about anything” ain’t sceered”just imagine strapped too a ticking time bomb that’s going to propel you too 330 mph or blow up in your face controlled chaos.He’s so good for the sport.👍
You both are class acts
Absolutely love this Kenny! Took me back to my teenage days. Every summer we always had the Coca-cola cavalcade of stars come to our local drag strip. Don the Snake Prudhomme vs Tom the Mongoose Mcewen. Great times Great memories.
still remember Ron with my fav NAPA add and Mikey and the talking cans
If you go to one or a hundred drag races get to the pits get to Rons pit he is still this personable to everyone on finals sunday he loves people.
NHRA in person is the best bang for your buck with the pits setup the way they are.....Nascar could learn alot about how these guys put on a live show
I was at Us Nats when Ron got the "Tap" from Snake. He is a worthy example of World Champion. Anybody can mash a throttle. ....anybody. His conduct is refreshing , humility ,ethics and integrity in a world of inflated egos, cubic dollars and mostly average talent. Good to see him win in Yellow Snake Livery. NAPA ebracing idea shows level of respect for Ron and Snake.
He sets the bar.
A legend on board. Hi from Maple Grove
Another great show Kenny!!!
I have a snake story for yall... about 15 years ago I seen snake walking in the pits by himself and I approached him for an Autograph. I had a diecast transporter that all the drivers were signing with a my gold Sharpe. I went to hand him the Sharpe, and he pulled out his black one and signed it in black lol There were about 12 signatures on it all in gold but snake was the only one in black. At the time I was like wtf, now it feels like a classic moment in my life
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Awesome stuff guys
1961 first year the nationals were at indy i was 19 and was there just think there was nothing like a funny yet front engine dragsters and everyone ran a full quarter mile those were truly the good days
Ron helped make it what it is today. So many good guys in motorsports.
Great show, fun and interesting!
A fckn legend
Great show ❤
Big fan Ron
Wow learned a lot about what they actually do love NHRA
If I remember correctly, Ron is pretty good in a dirt car too.
