Great guest and interview! Danica is an amazing person! Thanks for getting her on your show!
Kenny, I've seen you interview a lot of people. And I've seen Danica interviewed a lot of times. But your interview was far and away the best, most open, objective and enjoyable interview (discussion) between two people I've seen yet. Congratulations to you both. Danica for her open, honest spirit and you for your thoughtful, deep and revealing questions. I learned a lot about both of you. Keep up the good work.
This was GREAT INTERVIEW!!!!!!
I have always been a Danica Patrick fan
Danica, keep it REAL
☮️☯️
Thanks for this interview. Learning so much about Danica that I didn’t know. I have so much respect for her now.
Thanks Kenny, always a pleasure with Danica…
Great Job, I enjoy listening to Danica. Now we see a side of her we never got to see during racing interviews. Nothing but respect for both of you.
Hey Kenny am an avid female racer fan. I remember watching her at Martinsville when towards the end of the race she was faster than anyone else drove up to fifth passing on the outside and was taking 4th from Hamlin and he took her out. He cost her a win that day I believe. Great Interview 😊👍😎
I went to Best Buy for a meet and greet years ago and just fell in love with her. She had shorts and flip flops and was like a regular person, zero pretense. Afterward, she asked us about a lunch place and hopped in her rental car and drove away with her sister. Just a humble sweet girl and her sister, too.
Met her in Charlotte signing autographs she acted very down to earth gorgeous athletic girl I was pleasantly surprised
What is Danica drinking in that big bottle?
About F1: I stopped watching years ago. But now I watch sometimes when Danica is in there. Rock on!
Great Interview Kenny! I love how you ask the tough questions with tact and respect, to get your guests to open up.
At 42 Danica is more beautiful than she ever been. She has really come into her being. I feel sorry for anyone having to only listen because they will not see the beauty of this amazing woman. But maybe you can in her wonderful personality, Thank you Kenny for an amazing fun interview. PS. 60 isn't old. I am almost 70 and just getting started. lol.
70 is 50! Iff that....
My racing experience was limited to drag racing and a few laps around Fontana with a pro NASCAR racer and then driving a stock car a few of my own. So "very little" - but you guys "took me there" - well done!
Another great interview Kenny. I was an avid NASCAR fan when Danica came on the scene and I witnessed the shit she was handed on the track pretty much on a weekly basis, and I'd be yelling at my tv telling her to catch them and take them out !! The other thing I thought sucked was most every interviewer would ask the same stupid question---" what's it like to be a female in NASCAR" !! Plus I always felt all the attention was a distraction to her when she really needed to be focusing on honing her skill instead of talking about stupid shit. And just to finish---I think Danica is gorgeous--a natural beauty, and personally I think she's moreso now than before !!!
I couldn’t agree more with you. She is a very beautiful, successful, take-life-by-the-horns type of person. This was a great interview and I learned a lot about who she is as a non-racer. Mad respect for her. And… on a more ‘organic’ note… I’m pretty sure she would eat a handful of shrooms once in a while and debate reality with you. My kind of lady 😂
Well said Brad.
@@TenDegrees Oh I'd love to debate anything with her, shrooms or not ! The fact that she attends "Burning Man" says a lot ! Yeah she's the real deal for sure.
This will go down as one of your top "conversations"!! This was a good one!!
Our family started in open wheel racing in 1955 and still going. My two oldest sisters started racing Karts and quarter midgets in 1955 so, I grew up in a family of girls in racing. I’ve always supported women in racing. And for me, that’s just one reason why I support Danika Patrick in anything she wants to race.
That title alone sucked me right in. She is lovely. This is a great interview Kenny, you need to give it a year and watch this one back, seriously. You are good at this.
It’s a very bold statement for Danica to say a lot of people (and drivers) texted her when she made the comments about MTJ and Sherry Pollex several months ago on her Instagram…stating that she was right and they all felt the same way…but then refuses to mention names. If you can’t mention names, you should probably just keep your lips zipped because it’s all just hearsay at that point. Was she involved in their relationship? Does she know everything that was said, done, etc? She should just mind her own business.
I agree Danica should have kept her mouth shut regarding Sherry Pollex. She lost my respect when she is saying all this nasty stuff about MTJ when she knows nothing about what really happened.
It's not a bold statement. Either you believe her words or not, and I have the feeling you would never believe whatever she says because it's just the way you see her. Besides, it looks like she obviously knows more on the subject than most others, so it's bold for you as well to doubt her. Not mentioning names it's something almost everyone would do in her place, it's just a common thing to do in these cases, it doesn't mean it's not true. Like I said, she doesn't have to give anybody any proof, you either believe her or not.
My gosh.Wonderful conversation. Kenny you are such a breath of fresh air in this podcast space. Genuine and energetic. Danica is the Real Deal! She is living her best life! Well done.
So true Danica is so much fun to hang out with!!! I remember hanging out after the race with her, Bobby Rahal, my sister(Martina) and Michelle Jordain after his win at Milwaukee. (Danica had a great race in the Indy light car) We took over the bar at the Hilton that night. I remember Danica trying to explain to the bartender in her sarcastic sense of humor how to make the drink. He didn’t get it. She jumps behind the bar and makes us a drink. What a classic night too much fun.
I agree, I'm a happy person, I'm multi-talented, and love helping people. I'm 77, did drag racing, engine building, water & snow skiing, carpentry, restoring everything from old houses to old cars. But I like being in a happy mood when I'm working or helping others. That's why Clint Boyer is my favorite happy guy in Nascar. Watched Kenny in the 70's, like at Valley Park, and was pit crew for a buddy at Bellclair Raceway (only Kenny will probably know) - but loved this conversation.
Danica was a ferocious competitor and athlete. A racer should never be labeled (gender) as anything other than a race car driver. She did very well for herself and should be proud of her accomplishments. Shes a spot on rock star in my book. Much respect!
She was given good equipment to drive, she had little talent to wheel the cars. She consistently ran 20th to 30th. All she brought to Nascar was her ability to cause cautions to bunch up the field for restarts.
@@andrecharron8070I have to agree… not trying to down her, but the stats/numbers do not lie. She had great equipment at the time, and a great team and she just never could get results.
SO love her!!!! Thank you for the interview 💪
Thanks So much both of you...and Tucker of course
wow.... I have come to realise a couple of things in my old age, I am a man of few words, I am not as articulate now as I once was but I have always appreciated listening to articulate people... your interview with Danica was truly amazing, wonderful and.... well, it was very very good... your questions, Danica's answers, comments and opinions... WOW... just saying...
This was my first time on your channel. I thought OMG how will I get through this long video? Well, it was easy. What a pleasure to get to know both of you!
thx!
Kenny, great interview, Danica was and still special to motor sports!
Enjoyed You both very much, Kenny! Got to know Danica a lot more. Youu even got Danica to smile 😃 more! She has a beautiful smile.
I for one wish she was still racing.
Excellent interview Kenny. Glad to catch up with Danica.
I think she is spot on. I am quite competitive and have the most fun with open competitive people. She is a amazing person. Because she is real...nowadays that's rare.
And I am a dirt racer. I'm am the nicest person you will ever meet but when I'm in that car I am the devil himself.
Oh My Gosh I LOVE This!! Followed her most of her Racing Career!! Thank You Both for doing this Herm!!! ❤❤❤
I like Danika. I think she should be proud of her accomplishments. Great job Danika!
Hermon, this was the best damn interview I’ve seen you do. I have never seen this side of Danica. Let me tell you, I love it. She is a truly amazing person. She was great for the sport when she was here, I miss her here now that I see this interview. Love the Kenny Wallace Show!
Blatantly honest and candid. Great stuff. Glad y’all brought up the Danica / Haillie Deegan parallels.
Thanks to Kenny and Danica for the great interview!
Great conversation Kenny.
They are oblviously very fond of each other. She was a trailblazer for women in auto racing. Definitely a confident and driven lady. Knew very little about her. May come across as cocky and over confident but that is how she succeeded in life.
I am a long time fan of Danica since her open wheel days
Fan of yours to sir. What a fantastic video
Great Interview Kenny! Loved the interview with Danica, I have always been a Danica Patrick fan.
I have never been a Danica Patrick race fan but her personally, I am!
She speaks her truth and it is nice to hear! She does not care to be politically correct!
I always liked MTJ until the last year and a half. I don't know what happened with himself and Sherry but the statement he made after she passed was not from someone that was in a relationship for 15 years! He did seem to find someone very quickly too, just saying! Great Interview Kenny!!!
If Danica stayed in Indycar, she'd probably have been remembered as a solid race car driver. I don't know if she'd have won more races, but I think she'd be a reliable source of getting solid points finishes for whatever team she was driving for.
How refreshing it is to see someone ask the questions we always want answered and someone without a filter willing to answer them. Its okay we're all adults -- we can handle the truth. Great back and forth!
Kenny and Danica I enjoyed this conversation immensely. Danica in most of the interviews with you mostly came off as a bit of a hard ass I’m glad I watched this one. This interview showed while maybe wound somewhat tight it’s only a part of you, congratulations on your hard work making you successful and may your continued successes bring you joy and happiness.
Always been a big fn of Danica and Kenny of course. thanks for a great interview.
Hi Kenney, I normally don't comment on podcasts, but I wanted to let you know I enjoy your interviews. It's like talking to the guy next door. It seems the people you interview open up and speak freely.
Thank you I enjoy the conversation and not an intervew.
Wow Herm, what an interview, probably your best, mega respect to Danica for being so honest and I've come to really like her through her podcasts as well.
Danica is into Spirituality, Go Daddy was good for Her, it didn't work out for her, Racing NASCAR, she did Win an Indy Race, but she has Evolved to Other Aspects of her Life, Have the Utmost Respect for her, 'Namaste Danica '❤
Wow I really enjoyed the video I was never a fan of Danica’s but I am now she is great she really opened up to you Kenny
One of the best Kenny Convos to date! Huge shoutout to Danica for being so generous with her time! Love ya Herm!
Hi Danica, don't worry about being 42 years old. You are one of the fortunates who get better looking as years go by!!
I know that sounds shalllow, but I mean it as a compliment.
❤
Kenny I just found ur show today and watched John Force and now watching Danica Patrick. I love ur show! I grew up watching u and Rusty and Dale and Davey and man I wish we could roll back time for 1 more Sunday! I was listening to Danica talk about the Eury’s. Quite a few years ago I was their neighbor and just great people I would love to c Pops again. Any ways Thank U for the Great Show!
Im a huge Danica Patrick fan and i still collect her old vintage merchandise please more danica content thanks Kenny wallace im still whatching this.
Holy smokes! She is high AF! Lol! I like this version of Danica MUCH better! Funny, goofy, figuring things out about life! She'll figure "it" out. It's actually pretty simple. Thank you KW, and Danica, and God bless!
Another awesome conversation! Thanks Danica.
Great interview ! Thank you Danica and Kenny I learned a lot about Danica.
Loved it, she is a badass! People give her too much shit for being honest, and telling you what she thinks. In my opinion, we need more like her, folks that aren't afraid to tell you what's on their mind, and keep it real. Great show, Kenny!
Wish she had an interview like this one years ago. Shes very open, very well spoken for just having a 'good enough diploma'. lol. Wish her the best. Great interview Kenny!!!!!!!
One of your BEST yet KW must admit new respect for DP. Greetings from the GR8 White North.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU 🎉🎉🎉🎉
❤❤❤❤
Loved the GED! My nephew is a lab tech at a major hospital, could have been a doctor. He was so smart he was bored at school. Dropped out, later got a GED, then went to the university at nights, where he met his wife. She always bitched, she got C's, he got straight A's and hardly opened a book. As a central Illinois boy, I agree, some subjects I've never used. Graduated 🎓 from trade school, at 50 Graduated from college, and at 70 just finished a geology course. Hurray for Danica's dad, sounds like my kind of guy.
I think I raced against her in karts at BKS in Norway il. Great interview. Nice job
Thank you Kenny Wallace! I am so glad to hear the comparison of Danica and Hailie in the sense that they both were and are being wrecked intentionally. I hope Hailie doesn't get discouraged. I love Danica. It would have been awesome to have seen what she could have done if everyone would have just saw her as another driver. I was hoping that things would have changed by the time Hailie got to xfinity series, but sadly it doesn't appear that it has. Again thanks for such a great interview with a great racer!
Another conversation! Thanks danica
Great interview. Much respect for you both.
What I think is kinda funny, is that Denny's set for his podcast has the photo of Danica chewing out Denny on pit road.
The problem with F1, is that a great driver can't make up for a less than top tier car.
Very cool interview, enjoyed listening obviously to a couple of intelligent people on life and racing or whatever you do in life.
Great interview Kenny. There is a lot to Danica.
Good interview. I have a new found respect for her.
I was always confused how Danica and Ricky Stenhouse dated for a while. Ricky is a devoted Baptist and Danica has some interesting beliefs. I don't see how that relationship ever started.
sex appeal maybe
This was a awesome interview and one of the best from two intelligent and interesting individuals!
A great interview with a world class athlete!
“About the real world we’re living in” She gets it, awesome interview y’all
Great discussion. I have always respected Danica. The honest things she says have made me like her. This discussion has improved my opinion of her immensely. You go girl! I have enjoyed her participation in the Sky coverage and DTS. Keep it up!!!
I loved Danica for many years and think she's somehow multifunctional and have started to understand there's no limit in universe. And she's still seeking all answers! Soulmates.
We who are open minded can travel everywhere in our minds to experience universe and that journey has no end.
Losing friends to politics depends on how diverse you can be. I really admire her now. Diversity can also avoid conflict in politics because the competition spectrum is widened, keep going girl, loved the interview. 🙃😉
I met and got to race against Kenny about the most down to earth guy to talk to telling race stories and drinking beer afterwards! Great guy
Sometimes people get a bad image about who they are from just a bad moment, I think Danica got that alot but when when you dig deeper and just be real and not so judgemental from one circumstance you find a person in them you didn't think was there.. I think we're seeing that in Danica here
Great episode Kenny!
You could argue that Danica as a good open wheel racer did better in NASCAR than Mr. Seven Time did in open wheel. She never would have been a top talent, but to me her major downfall in NASCAR was being rushed to the Cup series. I have nothing but respect for her.
Great interview. Thanks Kenny. 🙂
I'll never understand the negativity and backlash she gets, even recently. I absolutely respect and admire her. She's extremely smart and deep. Love listening to her podcast
The negativity is because she's not a good driver, she wrecked alot and never really proved her ability
I’m sure you are much better. lol
@@robertmann7277 okay buddy.. lol She placed 4th in her first Indy 500 and led 19 laps. Your sexism is showing. Now go ahead and tell me how EASY it is to run 500 miles at IMS. I'll wait
I lived near her hometown and worked in racing .she was disrespectful to the volunteers ,officials and other drivers and disowned many of the people who got her there.
@@dhsRacing0620She was terrible in NASCAR, facts are facts. You know what's sexist? The fact that she was paid in top four earners at the time. Not because of her "driving talent" but because of her sex appeal. That's the epitome of sexist.
I lived in Rockford Illinois for 44 years, I remember watching her come up as a little kid. It was pretty cool.
Great video. One of the best yet.
I see so many bad opinions about Danica but although she did some not so good things, she put her heart and soul into it. In the end I have so much respect for her I have no other words. She is one tough woman! I wish her nothing but happiness in life. She will be in the hearts of NASCAR fans forever.
Kenny loved this episode! Tell Danica she was amazing!
Awesome interview!
Great interview Kenny!!
Danica us Aries girls are the honest people and we love to lift people with positively. This interview was very inspiring
Listening to you on marks show, you rock man.! I’ll be on with him at 5:45 in a few mins. Tune in. It’ll be great 😊
I never was a Danica fan to the extreme of never having anything good to say about her. My reasoning for this was I thought she was constantly playing the female card and she's simply PR thing for advertisers and not competitive. Thanx to this interview I've done a 180 turn in my thinking. Thank you
Kenny I like your personality . I had drivers ,drive for me back in the years. Some were a pain .But, you have the personality that if there is a issue you make the best of the situation.
Great Interview loved it
Well...This interview changed the way I thought about Danica. Thank you Kenny and Danica.
Not to many people can drive Indy and do good. What i seen with Danica in Nascar racing a lot of drivers with egos taking her out
not all the time but many. She is one of the most talented woman driver ever.
How many Indy and F1 drivers have come into NASCAR and failed. She's not the only one. I still laugh. Look at Kimi Raikkonen, F1 Champ, hardly did anything
@@dhsRacing0620 Ok you try it
@@randymente80 think you misunderstood me. I was agreeing with you. A lot of people have tried Nascar and struggled, even other IndyCar drivers. She's extremely talented
@@dhsRacing0620 Ok Sorry
A movie should be made about Danika
I've always liked her but I like her even more now!.. Thank you Kenny!. I've always liked you too!
Great conversation
Watched it last night. One of the best ones yet. Love how she rips on MTJ
Awesome interview ❤
Thanks for pointing out all of Danica's career bests. Pretty amazing young lady!
This was great! Nice job!
