The Lajoie family is a generational NASCAR family, just like the Allison’s, the Petty’s, the Woods, the Elliot’s, and the Earnhardt’s, and many others. To me, greatness is established by your accomplishments, your character, and the legacy you leave behind. Kenny, I think that everyone knew what you meant when you said it. I appreciate that you stand by your words.
Randy was and Corey is a very good stock car driver, but neither of them have ever achieved "greatness" at the highest level of stock car racing. I like and respect them both as men and race drivers, but greatness is rare by definition.
Old time Randy Lajoie fan, but you are spot on!
What NASCAR desperately needs is Dale Jr and JRM Competing at the top level I hope Junior motorsports gets a NASCAR franchise sooner than later right now the Xfinity series is way more exciting to watch
Not yet convinced that the ‘new’ imsa Nascar Cup car is ‘the top level.’
What’s making xfinity fun to watch? It’s a stock car.
NASCAR needs to be its own trend- the cup car ain’t a stock car anymore imho
You are out of your mind. No way in hell you & me are watching the same thing.
When your grandfather, your dad, you and your son race, that’s generations
Did Bill Elliot's father and grandfather race?
No need to defend yourself Kenny!! What you said makes perfect sense!👍Appreciate your down to earth attitude! Herm rocks!
You're spot on Kenny. I knew what you meant when you posted the video about the last blood lines weeks ago. Randy was never good, and Corey isn't either. Doesn't make them bad people or bad drivers (Randy raced in the cup series and so does Corey), but just cause you race in cup doesn’t mean you are great. You’re good no doubt; have to be to get a chance in that series. But there is a BIG difference between good and great.
Kenny you did pretty good in that number 1 Pennzoil car in cup.
I honestly didn’t know Randy raced in the cup series until you just told me
In 44 Cup races, Randy has one single top 5. Give me a break when comparing himself to the likes of Bill Elliott. In 249 Cup races, Corey has 4 top 5's. Chase Elliott has 98 Top 5's in 299 races. Silly to think the word "great" be applied to their performance when we are discussing the big league Cup results.
I honestly never knew his father raced and never heard of him. The point rusty is making Elliott name is in the history books and shaped nascar for an Era. Just participating and having a son drive now does not make you a history making bloodline.
@CaptainBerz, FALSE. Try again, because you're WRONG.
@@sergeantmasson3669 Would you mind giving us the right stats? I would love to see them
@@COFloorman147-ko7im Why, are you too ignorant to do research on your own?
Kenny I believe there's 2 young boys coming up and that's Keelan Harvick and Braxton Busch are coming from a strong bloodline of race car drivers. IMO
Great point Kenny. Thank you. I totally understand you.
Until others PROVE themselves, you are correct.
Have yet to see anyone disprove you.
Corey is the Son of a Driver, Randy made his Mark in NASCAR
Absolutely correct!
I totally agree with you, Kenny
Get what you’re saying. ✅💯
When it's all said and done, the only thing that matters is how you treated people and what your family and friends think of you as a human being.
Thanks for always telling it straight Kenny even when it's hard to do sometimes.
Kenny, you and I both raced with Randy long ago. We both personally know Randy as a nice guy and a good racecar driver.
Well said Kenny!
Happy Monday, Herman love having my coffee with you every day🤙 I was a huge Dale Earnhardt fan stop watching the sport for a while. Just started watching again starting to get good again
You're absolutely right in one aspect. Most people don't have the self-awareness and honesty to admit who and/or what they really are. The Lajoie's aren't on the same level as the Pettys, Earnhardt's, Elliott's, Wallace's, Labonte's, Allison's, Flock's, Parsons. They are on the level of the Bodines, Green's and Sauter's. I'm not going to say that Chase is the "last" of the great bloodlines, because he could have a kid. Also, Kelly Earnhardt Miller has a son coming up. Not to mention Kyle Busch, Kyle Larson, Kevin Harvick have started a new generation of great bloodlines and have kids that are well on their way to keeping the great bloodlines going.
@shawnfrey4757, you're a NASCAR expert, how?
@@sergeantmasson3669Do you need to be an expert mechanic to know you have a flat tire? 😂 So you need to be an expert doctor to know that smoking is bad for you? Do you need to be an expert electrician to know you have a blown light bulb?
Herm you put it the " subject " in perspective. When the bloodline came up I knew exactly what was meant. And really most did also. Family racing is great for the sport but not every family is in the same class, not being mean just being real.
I agree with you and where you are coming from and that should be known as a no brainer for a long time cup fan
At a certian age (after 50 or so..) junky looking matters less an less...at least that's what I tell folks...great video Herman
Best time of your life…. On your brothers bike!Heck Yea
I like Chase and I love these programs. Keep them coming.
We got what you meant. Love you Kenny!
Keep digging Kenny, sometimes it's better just to say nothing, because when you do you can make it worse.
You clearly said Great Blood line of NASCAR Cup.
I agree with you 100% Kenny. I understood how you felt when Randy Lajoie expressed his hurt feeling to you, but it was NOT appropriate to include Corey in a listing of great the greatest of all times in generations of NASCAR drivers. I wish Corey nothing but the best & hope we see him with a win . . eventually.
There is a reason you were a most popular driver. It's not all about most wins.
The late Dale Earnhardt Sr said it better than I've ever heard anyone else describe being successful as a NASCAR driver. When an after-race reported congratulated Dale on his :strong 2nd place finish", Dale stated . . "second place is simply the first loser". I would consider being voted "most popular driver" an honor. but to be great, . . you're on the top-25 all-time win list in the Cup division.
100% agree with you Kenny. Randy Lajoie was good race car driver, but in not in the class of the greats. Not even close.
And u might have the record for apologies to one man in human history in a short span of time, I get what ur saying Herm and hopefully Randy and Cory does also.
I like the early morning hair Herm. Looks 👍 great
As a third year newbie to NASCAR, everything you said Kenny makes sense. Even when I wasn’t a fan, I knew who the sharks were, and I just learned today that Corey Lajoy has a father that was a really good racer, but not a shark.
Your right herm
You don’t have to explain Kenny people should know
I remember Jeff Gordon giving you your lap back.. You were respected. Yes Randy was excellent. I like Corey good personallity .
No disrespect to Randy but Kenny I think you got it right. Randy was great to watch but no big boy championship. Wild Bill Coors #9 was unstoppable! I am a Trusty Rusty Fan first then I met you at Darlington driving the Square D car. We had tickets to your hospitality tent; you came out and met us and we had a great time with you, and I have been a fan of yours ever since.
There are Levels to everything. Digesting a pecking order is like politics. Stats are Stats, Effort is Effort and Presence is Presence.
You’re exactly right Petty,Wallace,Waltrip,Earnhardt,Elliot and don’t forget Jeff Gordon all were great drivers
I don't know how you can say bloodline and not mention Dale Jarrett.. But I get your point and agree with ya!
You said it right Kenny
You are correct, kenny. Randy was a bad ass but not an "Elliott "
Herm, im on the Lajoie side on this one. All drivers that make it to cup are superstars. Some have superstar teams to go with stellar careers. Some show results and some dont. Case in point are we saying Jimmie Johnson is just a good driver because he is running like he has of late? You should know better than anyone that if you were in super team equipment your whole career you'd have much better stats. Just my two cents. Still love ya bro!
You are not a "bottom feeder", Kenny. Just sayin' and we get what you are sayin'.
he wasnt far from it. he was pretty much a field filler with a descent run here and there to get a top 10. any gains or success was quickly overshadowed by his brother Rusty
@@BobL84 Did he ever have the car or team behind him? Or was he driving for teams that never gave him a chance to win?
@@happyjohn8256 all teams give you a chance to win. its up to the driver to take a 20th place car and run top 5 though
@@BobL84 If it’s not setup correctly nor the pit stops adequate, they will not win.
@@BobL84 When Larson drove for RFK, where were his wins?
Corey is good, he’ll get a win one day I think
"Hall of fame type bloodlines" fixed it for you, Herman **
Spot on
Boy, Kenny. You've really stepped in it now. Good luck with that. 🙂 These days, Randy is better known for seats.
Hey kenny. When you see Bill Elliott again ask him he he remebers Bill Forest from New Bern NC? He was a sales manager at the HVAC company i work for and knew Bill pretty good. Sadly he passed away 4 years ago
I understood what you said. You didn't say the last of former racers bloodline. Many good and nearly great racers have younger family members that are now racing, but they aren't from the GREAT cup drivers. Nuff said.
Absolutely correct
Kenny, I know where you were coming from. There are great drivers and good drivers. Dale Jr to me was a good driver and I think he is a great person for the sport. The drivers today that are great are the ones in the top ten most weeks. Just look at the win list. That speaks for itself.
I see your point
you crack me up Herm.
I've never thought of Blaney or LaJoie as "greats" even if they won Busch championships
I understand Kenny♥️😘
You know you are only as good as the car you are in.
I know what you meant Kenny, and I agree. It's not to degrade or insult anyone, but it's just commenting on the obvious. There's levels to this, not everyone can be or deserves to be on Mt. Rushmore.
Championships!
I agree, I pull for Corey, I’ve got some #7 gear that I’ve showed off in my own videos, but I see the difference in the names in the Cup Series, Lajoie is not there yet
Ryan Blaney may have put the Blaney name into the great bloodlines with his championship. It may take a decade or so to sink in it but I think Blaney will now be in that category. All he’s gotta do is remain relevant in the upcoming years.
that is the one thing I often wonder about is how drivers and ex drivers feel about those in the booth who criticize one another
Kinda reminds me of the famous line "Don't you know who I am"?
Dave Blaney would have been a top 5 , 10 sprint car driver ever if he stayed on dirt. Cup career was long , but lackluster. Wish he would have stayed on dirt but the money is in nascar. His son is doing the things he hoped he would do . And I know what you meant when you were talking bloodlines, you meant the all time greats.
Randy Lajoie has always had a very high opinion of himself in my opinion...higher than he should,Sorry,the name Lajoie does not make me think great...Good/decent,but not great,Corey had a shot in the 9 I believe? and laid an egg...Earnhardt,Petty,and Allisson,are the only three GREAT bloodlines in NASCAR..You were not wrong in what you said Herm,you was real,and some folks can not handle real..Thats why I listen to you and KP,both are very honest and real,not popular opinions,real and honest..world needs more of that
Things are different today. Randy was a great racer and a real man back in the day. That was before the sport let toddlers into the sport. The same happened to the truck series. Men like Ron Hornaday were the real deal. No 12 year old go cart racer named Tyler/Brandon/Joshua etc. Was a boss.
If John Hunter Nemechek gets promoted to the 11 or the 19 car in the next few years, he could be the next big second-generation star. If the playoffs are put aside, he is a champion in Trucks and Xfinity. He has the goods.
Last is a little extreme. Give some time to Kyle And Brexton Busch and Kevin and Keelan Harvick. I understand where you’re coming from Herm. One thing I’d you to splane is why Chase Elliot is the most popular driver. I guess you don’t need a personality to be popular
Randy was an awesome driver and he probably had some of the best equipment also in his day in the Busch series, Corey should be proud
Hay Wollice! Wont you come out of retirement then we will still have 2 of the great bloodlines in nascar!
I was #400 to like this video 🏁
You nailed Herm
Look im a fan ive never heard of randy before now but i have heard of bill Elliott from growing up from other fans also What's with father's projecting themselves into their sons motorsports career in 2024. Max verstapins and Cory need to speak for themselves with results not have their father pick fights for them
Randy dominated the busch series for a few years , had a look in cup and didn't do much. Top 75 ? I don't know. Maybe.
Well Randy's Name hasn't came up until now because he was just ok but Bill was an all time Great so no need to apologize Kenny.
@garyhumphries348, ignorant much?
Maybe not near as much as you.
Yer awesome, Herm. That's not legendary, it's unforgettable.
Brexton Busch may have something to say about this.
“stacking with pennies” has me geeked 😂
He’s about to stack unemployment if the 77 keeps beating him
Randy makes the best seats and a great man
Mkay, what about Harrison Burton?
Well 1 of starting field is pretty dang good then and now
Agree 💯
And that's the truth friends.
Of the three 7 times Cup Series champions, only Dale Sr never cheated.
That we know of
@@hankhenninger3601 ZERO evidence.
Considering the fact that Ryan Blaney has actually won a Championship, Dave would have more weight in this argument...but he doesn't seem to feel the need.
You have nothing to apologize for. I've been watching Motorsports since the 70's and the big guns from the 80's and 90's only had a few offspring put on a suit and helmet. Hell,even Mark Martin's son gave it a shot and realized it wasn't for him. And not casting shade on Adam Petty cause he was the FIRST and ONLY 4th generation NASCAR driver. Always be you you Herm.
Randy needs to pipe it down….Corey isn’t half of what Randy was….
If a person is selected as one of NASCARS 75 Best Drivers,I would think that bloodline is pretty strong.No it isn't Bill ,Rusty,Dale ,Bobby etc. but given the right equipment,sponsorship and crewchief,I would say Randy would have had a better run in Cup,as you would have Kenny.Randy also as a Dad has to put his wing up and protect his son.
Lol to funny there are a few more but you stepped on toes but made it right can't make everyone happy there have been only a few Dynasty families in Racing like you said but a bunch of awesome families in racing not Dynastys tho so you were right in your view I got what u ment the LA Joie family is awesome but not Dynasty !!! K ty Herman we love yah from NH. 603 baby Loudon my tag for years was Reddog yah baby !!!
I dunno Herm I think maybe Kyle Busch and B-Rex might have a case of the bloodline or Harvick and Keelan
In the future yes because both of those drivers in their Era won races and championships. Just because you drove in nascar doesn't give you a claim to a royal nascar bloodline
My brother and I always say "hashtag Randy's boy" every time Corey Lajoie is mentioned. 🤷 #randysboy
💯
Randy didn’t like his ego getting checked.
I'm sure if Corey could driver for Hendrick or Gibbs he would have better results your only as good as your equipment.
@@user-ml8tw5cc8x explain to me Kyle Busch then once dominate at Gibbs now can't do anything at RCR same equipment?
Kyle bush and his kid, harvick and his. Time will tell
Chase has won a championship in cup and xfinity giving him greatness that’s what you all are missing here
You have to win at least 25 races to be a great driver!
I think if you put Corey in that Hendricks #9 car from the moment he got into cup he would of done just as well or BETTER then Chase. Corey is over achieving with so so equipment and Chase has been Underacheviving in top notch equipment. But I see your point . If Randy would of won a a few cup Championships then he would be in the BLOOD LINE CLUB. He was good but not great. HEY WALLACE!!!
You didn't say it to insult anyone so If he took it to heart it's his problem. It's that simple. All you can do is say sorry If I hurt your feelings.
First of all, no one in NASCAR had “beef” with someone back then, unless you shared a steak.
Had issues or a problem possibly…
🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I agree with you. I like Corey, but he is not a top driver. We need the field fillers, but hard to compate them with people competing for a championship. My favorite drivers in the day were you and Schrader. Still, I would not say either of you were the at the driver level of Rusty or Dale. Although I would place both of you above Corey at this point. His rookie teammate stays a few places above him. Bloodlines like Elliot or Earnhardt are rare and special, Even Blaney's championship is not like the days when a champion was the best driver that year. Maybe Busch or Harvick will have another driver carry on their bloodlines one day.
