Did I Get Fired By FOX Sports?

[@TracksideViews]

Speed Channel in the middle of the NASCAR boom was in my opinion an important part of what helped things take off like it did.

[@Countrybananas]

Especially internationally

[@JarodARed]

I miss SPEED channel

[@johnboer5479]

Inside Winston Cup was great. Kenny, Michael, Johnny, and Allen Bestwick trying to keep the show in the lane.

[@clarenceghammjr1326]

Dave and speed channel was cool

[@VapinBachelor]

​@@johnboer5479 that was actually Alan Bestwick, ken Schrader, Johnny Benson and woke Mikey Waltrip w/ some time special guest Herm.

Kenny Wallace is the real reason the Fox show worked! Kenny is a genius, he’s the real gem in all of NASCAR

[@zippymistletoe1272]

Don't forget Jimmy Spencer

[@clarenceghammjr1326]

Yes I believe your right, I would pay attention to a racer doing a interview before I’d listen to some stiff in a suit🤣

Amen. Well said.

Kenny, Your my man ! Out of all the pundits in motor sport you are my #1 by a mile. To all the viewers your a breath of fresh air and reality like never seen before. We here in Australia relate to your style and honesty forever looking forward to what's going on around the tracks. God bless you brother, Stay strong , happy and healthy. Regards to your family also my friend .

[@Sceneyour]

You're basically calling him an Australian. Makes sense, though, because yall are a country of wild men.

[@ronniesealy7931]

Kenny, you are the man!!! You are such an inspiration. You & I are the same age & listening to & watching you just makes me more determined to continue setting goals & working towards them. You are such a blessing to me. God bless you Brother!!!

[@brianfoster2981]

I know I miss the speed channel and it's shows. When you and ol Jimmy Spencer was on the Speed Channel it was awesome!! I have always respected you as a driver and a person. Your personality is what made those shows interesting; people just enjoy hearing you give your prospective on any topic. Thank you for being you and never changing!!

[@dianeh.3327]

They are the two that made the show!

[@ErminTra]

Kenny Wallace. Was one of the best things for NASCAR on Fox. One time I showed up to Daytona International Speedway as they were filming live. The energy and entertainment was amazing. Kenny you did great for them and I hope they paid you a lot of money

[@jimmygallahair2011]

Thanks for keeping it real Kenny Wallace! Love your content, especially your yesteryear stories. You and Schrader will always be the example of what racing is all about to me. I saw Schrader changing a tire on James Ince’s IMCA modified at Talladega Short Track one time!! Much love and respect to you Kenny!!

[@kevinbecker4760]

Kenny has always been one of my favorites and not just because he went to the same high school and not because he lives 5 minutes from where I grew up at!!! I love how he is true to his roots!!!

[@TravisHargiss]

Man you belong in the garage and on pit road, you are a former driver, that is a unique experience and point of view! It gives the viewers something different, PLUS YOUR PERSONALITY IS GOLD! Which is why I love that you post on youtube.

[@darrellsmith2658]

You Mr Kenny Wallace are absolutely one of a kind! Don’t EVER stop being you!

[@2fish_tacos814]

Not a nascar fan anymore but will always be a Winston Cup fan and Wallace brothers fan! I can watch the old races all day here but the politicized sports of today has turned me off unfortunately . Love you Kenny!

[@KevinW8BRY]

Hermon, you didn't owe any of us that explanation. Thanks for sharing your struggle and I can't imagine living on the road like that. Love your content on here.

[@sjfarish]

Yeah I miss seeing you there Herman, you made the interviews worth watching!

[@rickchristianson3536]

Herman there are not a lot of true Patriots left in any position of Note-oriety these days. There is a good reason that your resume of real true friends over the years have included the people that you have let us peek in and watch. ie Dale Jr & Senior, Tony, the list is to long to start here, it would take more time then anyone reading this is going to allow. Great to watch as MAN w/ REAL BALLS!! Thanks for all the great moments & laughs Kenny.

[@delayp1965]

Kenny, thanks for keeping it real and letting us know family and happiness is more important. Men especially,sometimes falsely stay at a job for the wrong reasons and lose what’s most important to them.

Everyone loves talking to Herman!! Love ya Kenny! Hopefully someday, I will get the opportunity to chat with you, in person. Cheers.

[@buckeyefangirl1976]

Kenny is just plain Kenny. He cuts through the BS and tells it like it is which most fans appreciate even it's something not always positive about our favorite driver/team. I respect that and honesty and I really respect his love for his wife and family and his desire to have more time with them cause that's what really matters in life❤️👍. I'm so glad for him taking time to do this channel and show for us though and keep us up to date on what he and his brothers are up to as well. All of us love you Kenny. Keep up the great work 👍 Have fun Racin' again and be careful.

[@daleirish6682]

god bless you Kenny. you bring a smile to my face every time you speak. your honesty and humor is refreshing!! In my box of Nascar pictures I have a picture of you signing an autograph for me in the garages at the Coca - Cola 600 from many years ago. I actually caught you coming out of the shitter, but hey... It was Kenny Wallace!! 😀😂

Ok Kenny I e been away from racing as a fan for a few years. I must have been alone when I was thinking why the heck is Kenny Wallace no longer in a race car. You one of my favorite racer to see out on a track. I’m so glad you came back to what you loved most and it also included being with your family more. Great job.

[@Cinebar2]

All the years following Nascar I knew who you were, liked your way of making a point but never really knew much about you. After watching this video, like what you had to say about the racing, your TV work but most of all the fact that you did what was right for you. Go racing, be happy and take care of yourself! You'll live longer!!

Kenny Wallace is pure GOLD. He's the smart (ass) silly kid from down the street. Everyone likes the silly kid from down the street. I know I sure do. A Kenny video will brighten anyone's poor day. He makes us all smile with his angle on things. Years ago I got to briefly meet Kenny and his Lovely One. Genuine to the core. That was over 30 years ago. This is the man I met. Kenny Wallace will always matter us. That's who Kenny Wallace is to me. Keep on keepin' on mamma jamma...

I have always enjoyed listening to you on tv or xm radio. You have such knowledge of nascar and In and outs of the sport. Never will forget you helping Earnhardt win his last race at Talladega.

Great story Kenny. You attitude is awesome. I loved watching you interact with driver. You did you sir.

[@bnelson313braveheart]

You’re so right about life on the road. I flew across the country so much and often I forgot in mid-flight where I was going. I asked a fellow in the seat next to me after we had been talking through out the flight, “Where is this flight going?” The look on his face was pure shock. Fun times right?

[@k2rocksstl]

It's amazing how one occasion that seems incidental actually changes the course of our lives. A happenstance interview with Bob Pierce led to Me working with Mike Mittler and created other opportunities in NASCAR. 😊

Love ya Brother so glad you found your happiness Herm. Great story, its funny how people assume somthing happened that never actually did....It happens all the time in the media as you already surely know. Love all your input and i couldnt imagine fox or Nascar ever wanting to fire or demote you. Your passion of racing shines through you like the blinding sun and you help keep my passion for the sport and all racing honestly going strong for me. Earnhardt Sr also did the same for me, he loved racing and it was easy to see that in him, just like it is you keep up the great work.

[@chrisswanson7780]

I'll never forget you and big show in the stacker commercial your my favorite!

[@matthopcroft2535]

I have to say you was this generation’s of nascar fans Ned Jarrett. I liked the shows much better than the races itself. You was both funny but you was real. You made the “others” look bad. I call that genuine journalism. I miss it with you and John Roberts. Fox has never been the same and probably never will. Which is why I anticipate nbcs coverage later in the season. Respect the hell out of you for what you are continually accomplishing. Give ‘em hell Herm!!

[@user-cs3zs6jn1d]

Being depressed at your work life is hard. I worked a job that was just a daily grind that payed the bills. Then I got this opportunity to do something I love for a living. Yeah,at times I am broke as hell,but I get by and couldn't be happier. Bringing anything on wheels back to life is what makes me happy.

[@toddrunion2]

Even though there have been quite a few driver's who have worked in TV or Radio in various positions, IMHO only 3 of you have stood out to me as drivers with the Gift of Gab and know how to ask good questions. Kyle Petty, Dale Jr. and yourself. I think it doesn't matter if your interviewing drivers, owners or crew members, they all appear to be more comfortable and forthright when interviewed by a racer that knows what they are talking about. Typically, those answers are a lot more entertaining as well. How many times have we heard so called professional commentator's ask cringe worthy to outright stupid questions? And usually to drivers like Smoke, Happy and KB who many times have called out those reporters on live TV for doing so.

Kenny thank you for keeping it real because there was a person that I knew in Springfield Missouri that told me to speak up for the man the late Larry Phillips. I was honored to meet you several times the last time I met you was at the motor mile here in Virginia. I am very happy for you that you can do the things that you want in life and be around your family. On the road being gone for so long, is hard on a person no matter if you're in a motel room or driving down the road in a semi people do not understand it takes a toll on your emotions. Life is so valuable that you don't take it for granted because family means so much to the person that is behind the scenes. Keep winning races it is fun hearing your stories about life and the people yet that you met. It is an honor to say the time that I have met you you are as real as you can get and you tell it how it is thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We should not live life under the motivation of fear but under the motivation of moving forward. I see your life and Kasey Kahne and even Tony Stewart. Hell look at Jr. He is a broadcaster and Works for NBC yet he still likes to get out there and race in the Late Model Circuit(bought into it) and still does Xfinity Race. It is good you can do what you love.
