    Im Going To Keep Asking Until You Tell me THIS.. Hey Kenny. So My guy Harvick is leaving us on the track at year's end. I have only ever cheered for Harvick since 2001. So Harvick is Moving ON. I'll ask this. As a Fan of Harvicks (ME) and other Fans, HOW DO WE MOVE ON AS FANS?????? No one ever asks THIS QUESTION. I watch others but I can't seem to find another driver that even compares. I'm afraid I may lose interest. WHAT YOU SAY????

    In Ontario Canada we used to Siphon the gas out of our truck to race our car and hope we won enough for gas to get home. LOL. Or we would crash cars to win for the gas money. Alot of fights though. LOL

    Liked it. I loved it. What an awesome story from an awesome storyteller!!
    The way you tell a story let’s the reader use his or her imagination as though they were there.
    Can’t wait to hear more!!

    Let me know when you race in MN would love to have a beer and a chat with you Kenny would love to get my die cast signed as well! Do you have an address where we can send stuff? I mean I’m certainly willing to make a small donation to the charity of your choice

    I love hearing these old stories because I was not, a Dale fan in those early days. I love knowing that I was so wrong about the guy I ended up rooting for there in the later years.
    So many people had these bits and pieces of "I met him here and he was this, or he was that" and it taught me more about believing bullshit from people who specialized in it.

    Tell ya what, I did get to meet Mr Childress at a charity auction function down in Charlotte one time and actually had a little while with him away from the crowds (my company was involved in the charity) as he had brought pieces of one of Dales cars he donated to the auction. He really is no different in person than the man you see on TV and I was just mesmerized and cherished every second in his presence. I knew that this is a moment when you shut the f' up and listen because chances like that don't happen often in life. It's times like those that made me realize these folks are just people like anyone else and oh so very real.

    Great story Kenny…I'll never forget you pushing Dale to his last win and how appreciative he was in victory lane for staying with him. I was glad he finally won Daytona, but that was his finest win in my opinion. keep em' coming Kenny!

    I was always a race fan. But i live in Canada so I didn't watch a lot of Nascar. First full race I ever watched start to finish was 2001 Daytona 500. Ending seemed not too much but Dales crash. Next race I watched was 2001 Atlanta when Kevin Harvick won. That's when I became a huge fan of Nascar and Kevin Harvick. All the Patriotism the emotions the beer the people losing their minds in EMOTION. WOW, I felt American that day and still do. Thankyou to all the drivers even if I yell at ya on tv. LOL. Weirdest thing. I hated Kyle Bush until Harvick stopped fighting with him. Now I'm excited to watch him with RCR. Nascar feelings come and go like crazy in this Sport. I love it. Thanks for listening Kenny. You rock. Keep the content coming

    I think Neil Bonnet was one of the very very few people who Dale left into his inner circle of trust of best friends. He was right up there on his friends list with Richard childless.

    Neil walks in the shop bloody and says Dale gimme a gun we gotta shoot apple he attacked me. Dales like aight here is a rifle have at it

    Some one else walk in the shop all bloody and says hey Dale, apple attacked me: He would’ve been like man wth that’s your fault for not paying attention……did you learn your lesson? 😂

    Hello Mr. Wallace, How did it feel pushing Dale Earnhardt Sr. to his Final Winston cup win and why didn't you back up to Joe Nemechek to try and get a run to pass at Talladega?

  32. Jimmy Slim

    Think about it Herman, dale sr. invited you and your boys over his place to tell you in his way that he was proud of you. Keep that close to your heart Herman.

  33. Chad Mears

    How bout Dale Sr putting sardines under the seat of your brother Rusty's race car…Rusty said he was puking up n got Dale back by stealing Dale's steering wheel off his race car. Good story Kenny. Miss Big E.

    Always enjoyed watching you run, especially on the days you had a car that could run up front. I never missed watching or listening to a race from 98 up until they started the playoff crap. I couldn't watch it anymore after that. I look back at drivers like you as a part of my youth and I thank you for the enjoyment you gave me during my 20s. Keep doing the show it's great. 👍

  43. J.R. Chance

    Keep bringing us your stories Herm, racing and otherwise. You give great insight on what the good days were like!
