I'm from Australia, we don't follow NASCAR, as we have the V8 Supercars and our own hero's. But, I could listen to Kenny all day long, racing and beer stories from the deep south, I love it !!!!! Kenny is such a humble person, yet extremely quick witted and very funny. He is quietly hilarious 🍻🍺👍🙏

V8’s are badass! Used to get them here but not anymore. For several years I followed the whole season. Loved Bathurst of course, but one of my faves was Winton. Also enjoyed Ipswich quite a bit. Larko bit a a favorite especially when he’d get technical and show us strategy, or setups. Not a fan of Skaife.

@@cl604driver I agree, Mark Skaife was a whiney girl. Russell Ingall in a Ford used to just say things in the media to wind Skaifey, and Skaifey took it hook, line and sinker, made himself look like a dick. It's all about the racing and the personalities. Not much room to do that stuff anymore, unfortunately 😕

Ken Schrader is by far my favorite and has my respect. Had it been any other driver that was first to arrive on the 3 car in Daytona I think what Kenny witnessed would have been told to the public. To this day he would only say he knew it was bad. The image in his head will never go away but yet he will not say exactly what he saw. He is a true friend to Dale and Dale Jr and those type friends are hard to come by.

I still have a T-shirt with "Ken" Shrader in the Budweiser Chevy w,/ Bud Clydesdales on the back from like 1995 - this will always have a place in my Donny & Marie Footlocker- (i get it out every 10yrs or so) All kidding aside, this guy is one reason why people like me never missed a race- whether it's on the radio with Eli and Barney or with Gentleman Ned and Bennie Parsons and Bob Jenkins, Shrader was a Guy I could never root against-1st time i saw Kenny he was kickin Rick Mears' brother's rear end all over Pike's Peak in a off road race on the Calvacade on TNN - Schrader Nation C'mon!

Here is a funny story about Ken Schrader. A good friend of mine and mechanic was close friends with Ken Schrader back in his days of racing throughout the midwest. He told me a story of them all being in a van driving down the road to a track when Kenny literally got up from the driver seat and said, "I need a break." My friend grabbed the wheel from the passenger seat and had to keep it on the road. He seems like a great guy and someone who would be a blast to drink a beer with.

So i'd venture to guess most of you guys are longtime Nascar fans, but I'm a total noob. Grew up with my dad watching, but never payed attention (adhd sucks, just saying) so now i'm 37 and I'm going TOTALLY backwards with all this. Watching all these driver interviews and stories, and then I'm having to go back and watch races I can find to make sense of it all. Just wanted to throw that out there. Thanks for all the effort making these podcasts! Yall are probably doing more for the sport currently than you could ever realize. And to think my mom lived in Troutman and I had no idea how close i was to all of this!! (clarify: I, myself, did not live in troutman) but yeah, had no idea i was in the middle of nascar country out there haha!

Man, Kenny is one awesome dude. He's awesome not because he's awesome, but because he's like a family member. I don't get into celebrity worship or get awestruck, but I measure people in how much I would enjoy having a beer with and shooting the shit. Kenny seems like the kind of guy you can just hang out with, and have a good time. Drink a few beers, listen to some stories and talk cars and racing. He's living the American dream. Go Kenny!

As friends with the Fortune family (Rose Bros. Sprint Car) I met him years ago. Nice feller, and a true racer. His interview on the Dale Jr. podcast is a must see ! Probably the best segment I have seen. BTW - A good friend of mine ran in the IMCA Modified division several years ago with some success. He told me racing against Schrader, that it was though he was on pavement and the others were on dirt because he was so smooth it was scary ! 😨
