Two of the greatest guys in the sport! Honest, high integrity, excellent character, and not afraid to tell it like it is. NASCAR is so much better having you guys involved.

[@tvann]

I could listen to both these guys talk all day

[@CSDonohue11]

Man… I’ve really enjoyed this 1 OG Kyle Petty

[@MrHamAndPrepper]

The importance of these two and DJ and Jr can not be overstated ...they are the bridge between the NASCAR us old guys know all the way back to Greenville Pickens -dirt track and todays NASCAR that many of us don't like so much ....they talk directly to us and keep our interest ... Treasures !

[@briantaylor6562]

These two are the best when it comes to NASCAR!!!! Plus, they're funny, entertaining, and smart.

[@TheCarter239]

Man Kyle Petty hit the nail on the head from 18 minutes to about 25 minutes. I've always rooted for Kyle and remember when we lost Adam. You keep picking some of the best interviews possible.

[@keithspillman]

GREAT conversation!!! You guys lived history with the greats, and to hear you talk about it is truly amazing!!! Kyle talking about the "Petty junkyard" would make a video all to itself!! I'm about the same age as you guys and recently retired....and yes....we are in a good place!!!! Take care!!!

[@Mike-og3xb]

Kyle Petty is a national treasure.

[@davids5006]

I love Kyle's unapologetic opinions, great personality!

[@luke3757]

Kenny and Kyle are the best of the best they speak their mind and stand up for what they believe in right along with Schrader. 🏁🏁👍👍👏👏

[@racerdad6455]

Why a time limit?!?! I could listen to stories from legends like Kyle for hours🏁

[@hoochgiese4735]

I've always thought of some racers in Northeast Wisconsin as Nascar worthy but never had the funding or platform to be seen. With the exception, I'm so happy for Ty Majeski getting to where he is, that man worked his but off all while going to engineering college too. Mark my words, he will be in a cup car in the near future! Great show guys!

[@markwitkowski6418]

Kenny once again you have outdone yourself again.Kyle Petty is a wonderful person,from a wonderful family.The 3rd generation racer who had a great career,and has stories of 60 years of Racing with the Pettys.Kyle is so nice,and chill.God Bless The Pettys.

[@user-cu2on6mt9w]

THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST INTERVIEW I'VE SEEN ON HERE YET, WELL DONE!!!

[@brianinglis2199]

Great interview with Kyle Petty! That xfinity race was incredible and the cup race was awesome too. Glad the rain held off. Man I hope you keep interviewing these guys. They won’t be here forever

[@mikecarter5034]

Another Great Kenny conversation! Just brought me closer to Kyle, so much I didn’t realize! Thanks buddy!!!

[@longjohn526]

[@scotthall756]

Love hearing Kyle stories. One of the best interviews there are.

[@htalbott1899]

Great job Herm, never get enough of kp or Kenny thanks Herm

[@timferguson8654]

Kyle you're always happy and that's a good thing

[@kblack861]

I've just finished listening to this for the 3rd time!! While I've enjoyed all the Kenny Conversations, this is hands down my favorite! Kenny and Kyle, listening to you guys swapping memories and stories was awesome...can we get a Part 2?

[@buddyherrington2132]

I met kyle in south ga when adam was racing for sprint. Kyle was at a meet n greet for sprint. He was the nicest most down to earth driver ive met. He took time and talked to me. Even asked me questions bout my own racing. Always been a huge fan.

[@robertgaddis8947]

Great job Herm and K.P. - start printing the " Hey Wallace " T-shirts

[@mr.michigan9289]

Wow great interview, I've been a Kyle Petty fan since day one! When my son was little I took him to Adam Pettys ASA race shop in Marne, every once in a while he says "Dad we sure had fun that day"!

[@Strelok762]

That kid dreaming to get behind the wheel was me, then I found Rally racing when I was 13 and did all I could to get there.. so far just autoX and time trials, but I think that's the best I'll ever have and I'm grateful to have the ability to do that!

[@nascarexperiencesbywilliam9488]

I love both you guys, 2 of my very favorite Nascar people

[@5150zig]

Thank you for this interview!! Awesome people

[@neilholschbach6704]

Thank You!! It wasn't even about racing!!! this was about life!! I didn't drive race cars, but felt totally connected to the conversation when I was a child, growing up!!

[@briandunsmore26]

Have always loved listening to the both of you. Great convo!

[@grego925]

[@americanpatriotbill]

[@JSkunk3223]

Great episode!!! Love story telling and real racers

[@papasmodelcarroom8450]

Thank you very much 😊. It really means ALOT. Love you guys two of my all time favorite, I could listen to you guys for hours.

[@bobabooey285]

This is fantastic, thank you for this. Learn more in an hour than I can watching racing for years

[@jasonswindle4793]

Need him back on for more

[@urban_89]

I love how real kyle petty always is. A real genuine person that is honest and understands so much of the world were in and where it was 30yrs ago

[@TheJTTaylor000]

If you are a race fan. This is the channel for us

[@supercinemascope]

In 1980 Kyle raced a Camaro at Pender County Speedway that was purchased from Hoss Ellington. It was number 42, blue and red like the cup car, I have a picture of he and my father racing side by side. Kyle has made the statement that he was no good on dirt. This was back in the days of open trailers pulling the cars. I think Kyle ran about 8 or so races at Pender.

[@suedemays9046]

Throw in benny, ned, and brewer and you have the top five nascar storytellers, kyle can tell a story. Very good podcast guys. Keep on truckin brother

[@poss4757]

This is your best Kenny Conversation

[@KennyWallace36]

thx!

[@cats362]

one person who works on their cars and got his time in the sun taken away was brandon brown. Nascar never made up for it. Kid works on their cars, finally won one and it was taken away over a chant that he had nothing to do with

[@user-nl2tx7hj2r]

I met that young fella on the right in 93 he's genuine to the core. Great man

[@camerondennis8565]

Two great guys in the sport!

[@davidburchfield2720]

Kenny I just wish it would have lasted longer loved it us fans get to lurn more about the old days of Nascar thank Kenny great show !!!!

[@GregorySovine-bt9hj]

I love both of these guys..such a great podcast

[@shanehall6567]

I love the story about hauling Coors beer back

[@KyleVaughn678]

Absolute pleasure building with yall, keep up these great podcasts! 🏁

[@KennyWallace36]

thanks Kyle!

[@chadmears136]

Awesome interview. Love the Pettys ❤

[@chrisgrimes707]

Kyle is awesome! I met him and Adam at Texas several years ago! A true legend! I love listening to this podcast Kenny does a great job w fan’s questions and really digging down to the topics!

[@sheilawillis490]

Best interview EVER!!

[@alanpierschalla4296]

luv that Herman guy. watching from slinger, wi.

[@johnnysechrist6313]

I never thought I would see the end of Petty racing .

[@bryandavis9731]

Thank you, gentlemen, for your insight and wisdom , Kenny look for more great input and more inspiring legends of the sport

[@marauder600]

Great to see you here Kyle!

[@berniej.rucker4252]

KYLE PETTY!!!! WOW!!!! What a guy!!!!! Rebel from day one!!!!! From running the "Hot Wheels" (when Matchbox was so famous) or "Mello Yellow" (instead of Mountain Dew.) Long-haired; hippie-type who NEVER used "Daddy's Millions" to help him along the way or "Granddad's Influence" to pave his path but did it HIS WAY!!!! He's right about the "guy up in the stands" who could do a MUCH BETTER job than a Ty Gibbs just because the "racer's blood" is flowing STRONGER in HIM than in the guy who sits in the seat, but will never get the chance because he's dirt poor. I was like that @15. I think my BEST FINISHING race was my most COSTLY one too because even though I had mechanical issues/crashes. It was EASIER to put in points and condensers then it was to overhaul the engine; cheaper to reshape sheet metal then to rework the whole transmission!!!! Even though the "racer's blood" and the "rebel" in ME is still there, I'm not more calculated; dignified and refined to do it any more. I even down-graded my hog.

[@rodneyharouff5739]

i knew this'd be a good'n, & it was! thanks!

[@mikeperkins1990]

Found my 1994 tracks premium race card. Man has the hair changed.

[@jeffyoder8105]

Yeah you can learn a lot of Nascar history and racing history in general listening to people like Kyle and Kenny and others who have been involved at any of the levels going upward towards the Cup series 😊😅😮😢😂❤😂😊❤😊❤😊❤😊

[@robh.7699]

Awesome job guys

[@JackDown-mf5ob]

one of my favarite drivers got to met him and adam at the stp shoot out and met the king ther 2 times

[@joshuataylor672]

Kyle Petty is an entertainer point blank

[@robertconreux8079]

What a great great interview soooo much info so so much history WOW WOW WOW!!! Soooo much fun!!!

[@gmoneytrader85]

KYLE so incredibly intelligent, great stories.

[@mickeysm64]

I will say, all of the dirt track cars on your local Saturday night race track still run carburetors except for the typically tuner divisions

[@aszilagyi100]

Love your stories about placeholders in a seat!!! Here in the Midwest, we have some late model drivers that really know their way around. And they struggle having to work a day job and stay up all night building race cars. That are not getting a chance to move up!!! The few young guys out of the Midwest in recent years in NASCAR are not the best we have to offer! Kazlausky is the last guy in from the Midwest that can drive. The rest are also rounds who get to the top by running over their competition. And have access to big money !

[@Rocklyn1]

Great conversation!! I love these !

[@TravisHargiss]

I met Kyle when I was about 13 in a Toys R Us when he was driving the Hotwheels 44 car, He signed my No Doubt shirt I was wearing and a Hero Card! Forever a Petty Family fan, I grew up a Richard fan in the 90s, born in 86.

[@TravisHargiss]

I did a little more research, and I was 11 in 1997 when he drove that car. It was a Toys R Us in the west Phoenix Arizona area.

[@drumracing83]

The Bomber class at New River All-American Speedway in Jacksonville, NC still all help each other! A racing family!

[@user-rm9wx1bf7i]

[@hemichargerrt01]

There NEEDS to be a Kyle 2.0 Conversation!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@larrylarry739]

Good guys!

[@macsmith-cg6wg]

Great job 👍

[@ignaziopassalacqua7795]

You guys failed to mention the amount of money these guys make. That allows them to retire at a younger age. Great show kenny,keep up the good work, thanks.... Iggy p

[@XCaliKev]

👍🤠 Really enjoyed that Kenny. Never got around to the Petty Blue story 😢

[@donniehunter309]

Best one yet Kenny.

[@markburns5147]

Great Show!!!

[@TheFOHMan]

Kyle tells it like it is like listening to him, you too Kenny!

[@DougJosephDMJ]

One of your best shows

[@dennischapman9801]

Good conversation with Kyle enjoyed it.

[@tallone09]

[@MikeDuryea32]

Great interview!!

[@ErminT746]

Great stuff Kenny!

[@jamespinch5132]

Kyle Patty is good I like the way he talks for

[@bradthomas2742]

I pulled for Kenny And Kyle,they both seemed to be always trying to outrun a shadow,Kyle won a race,I think DOVER,got out of the car and said something to the effect of it dont make a carrier, kinda broke my heart a bit.

[@dgyoutube2405]

Two guys i grew up watching and now we old and man yall have perfected old age using your advantages while your advantages were large mountains to climb.

[@luke3757]

I wish these two had a show everyday..

[@shanehall6567]

Mama met Kyle petty at the fern bank in Douglas Georgia

[@andrewcoleman5657]

Kyle petty is the only person that I like, that I absolutely hate the opinions of 😂

[@kenanderson3211]

Agree or disagree sure do enjoy learning about them. One quick question for both of them. When you pass away will you be spending eternity in the smoking or nonsmoking section? Respectfully submitted. Thank you.

[@jimmyjolly4184]

Brexton already has a contract with RCR

[@gjveWi.]

Pure Petty traditional old school values

[@oldermusiclover]

still hoping you will have Bobby and Donny on and Dave Despain

[@shanehall6567]

I love fords

[@158shm]

Good old news 🏁🏁🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@fishhuntadventure]

51:53 I think Kyle might be wrong here. Guys like Kurt Busch and a few others barring health issues or injuries aren’t just going to walk away. My opinion.

[@ExploreAmerica]

Very interesting

[@kenanderson3211]

When is part two being released.😁😂👍
