  2. KENNY , I'VE ENJOYED YOUR " CONVERSATIONS WITH KENNY". WITH KYLE PETTY'S INSIGHT AND GAINED WISDOM BY HIS LIFE'S EXPERIENCES , IT MADE FOR YOUR MOST INTERESTING CONVERSATION YET . I HAVE GAINED MORE RESPECT FOR HIS OPINIONS . IT'S ALWAYS ADMIRABLE TO HEAR OF BOTH OF YOUR LOVE AND COMMITMENT TO FAMILY . SINCERELY , DAVID B. LIKELY IRONTON,MO

  3. 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.

  4. 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"!

  5. 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!!

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

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

  9. 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. 🏁🏁👍👍👏👏

  10. 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

  11. 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.
