Ben shelton next please Herman....he's got a great story! Dude has absolutely made it for his love of dirt racing
Great chat... Michael has been a visionary for a long time and it's great to see the wider exposure for grassroots racing because of the execution of that vision.
Absolutely great interview Kenny and Michael these dirt interviews are the absolute best interviews in my opinion keep it Kenny absolutely love this show
Best interview ever thank you Michael Rigsby and Kenny nailed my sentiment with nascar. They truly forgot the people that started it.
you do good stuff on here herm! thanks!! always interesting!
outstanding interview...Bloomquist sometime soon !!!
Nice interview. Always great to hear Michael's perspectives on topics.
yea man!! i'm diggin' it all!!
Thank you for the interview, Rigsby IS one of the most influential people in dirt racing. #fals
My channel has 1.1k videos made - your name is listed in 5 of them. All of them responding to your comments on a topic, that I view can be detrimental to the sport of dirt track racing. Telling the truth can come with a level of disrespect, this is normal in the normal world. (Similar to the money over talent clip, in which you reference dirt fans being upset at NASCAR because it started to charge too much to get in - funny, NASCAR is on tv for free, and dirt fans tune out of it, and would rather pay $150 to Flo and $350 to Dirtvision to watch dirt instead - basically money isn't the issue, it's the product) Additionally, I simply do not care to sell my mouth shut - and am very proud of that. Told them before, and will tell them again - take your money, pit passes, gas money, hotels, and narrative, and shove it up your yeah. People being paid off and/or supplemented to turn a blind eye to things, is the ROOT of all of our problems in modern society. It isn't money that's the problem, it's the choices being made by the influences of it. To add, I hope you NEVER critique those in politics, who have sold our country out, by doing similar things that you are advocating for. In politics, it's just simply for more money, and gigantic corporations flipping the bill in exchange for ignoration (be nice and eat out of my hand). In closing, Kyle Steffens never sat me down and "had a talk" - maybe he thought that he did, but obviously, it went one ear out the other & I never said I talk bad about you to boost my numbers. If that was the case, I would have done it in more than 0.45% of my content... geez.. and you mentioned the word "respect"...
Why don't you just kiss the ring and recognize Kenny is here to stay.
I’ve seen a lot of videos talking about Bobby’s tires but I haven’t seen any that mention they’ve seen Jason fegers perspective on how a trade in tire could have gotten into the mix as a reason why Bobby had an issue
Would like to hear kenny and Michael talk about how late models top series allow there drivers to run other events when said series is off, but with sprint cars the world racing group only allows contracted drivers 4 events outside schedule, high limit does not have a limitation to do outside racing
I just watched Lap of Legends and I would love to see NASCAR do something like this I miss the old days
Good show 👍
Enjoyed the show. Kenny , I how you bring your in-site on both dirt ,Nascar and other forms of racing. I look forward to your great content. However, you do need to stand corrected. Ben was not the first to put Bloomer, Moyer on TV. A man, the late Trace Allee was the first. Trace aired and brought on a regular basis the Have-A-Tampa series prior to his untimely passing and prior to the internet technology. How quickly we forget the pioneers after they pass way. I met Trace at the SEMA show in Vegas in the early 90's. He said hey Russell, FOX is creating their own Sports Network, called Fox Sports (South) (North) (SouthWest) etc. He asked "Do you know of a series I can sell a package to and air dirt racing"? I said, I think and feel the Have-A-Tampa series, which at that time was the top late model series, would be your best fit for now. So it was myself, Russell Landrum of Landrum Springs & American MotorSports, 104 years old Living Legend Ed Iskenderian of Isky Cams and Mike Swims and the late Jimmy Mosteller President of Have-A-Tampa who financed the first years on TV - but it was Trace Alle who FIRST put it on TV. This was not a internet base service but aired through cable / satellite. So yes, Rigsby was probably the first on the webcast side (if I'm describing it right), but Trace Allee was the first to air Bloomquist, Moyer, Bill Fry, Wendal Wallace and the late model greats of the 90's - on a regular basis -over a decade prior to Rigsby Dirt on Dirt.. Enjoy this race aired in 1995. ( ua-cam.com/video/JGm38NPTnCY/v-deo.html ) With that said, Rigsby has done a phenomenal job on bringing it to the next level and bringing their personalities to the forefront. Great job Kenny on your shows and by the way your brother won the inaugural - first ever truck race at Daytona on my springs that I designed - Landrum Springs (Gold Series). Have pics if you need to see.
I was with Mike 100% until the tire segment. Great interview.
I was with him 100% and with him 200% during the tire segment
Kenny you've been very fortunate Earnhardt Sr. liked you enough to make you. It wasn't your fault.
Yes get ben
i git ya herm. to a t. yer a good man.
My local track here in Middletown ny. Dont race every week anymore super dirt week at Syracuse ny no longer
Did you say “ put Billy Moyer and Scott Bloomquist on the map” ? Are you kidding me Kenny? Those names where legends before 2007! I mean the original dirty dozen was traveling with the outlaws prior to that selling out tickets! What’s wrong with you man.
Kenny doesn’t like Chaz because he calls out Kenny’s bullshit… Bring the truth to the surface isn’t being mean.
He’s a crook and is threatened by the small competition.
nascar is not best of the best drivers. nascar has to engineer passing & racing thru rules. nascar has hours & hours of commercials. nascar is for rich spoiled kids. NO THANKS. I was the biggest nascar fan my whole life up until about 2015. I only watch dirt track racing now. nascar is dead to me. I dont care what anybody says to me or says about nascar or dirt racing or whatever. nascar is disgusting to me these days & I will never ever go back. Dirt track racing is the only racing I want to watch these days & maybeeeee a CARS Tour race or a Silver Crown race on pavement or a Stadium Truck race.
