It’s was fun chatting with you Kenny! See you at the SRX race!
Hailey, don't pay attention to the haters. You did awesome at Eldora.I was waiting for you to get a little closer to Tony on the last couple of laps, but he stayed just out of reach. Approach every race with the confidence that it's yours to win.
Go get some girl!!!! Love following the Deegan’s. They’re winners.
I stopped watching NASCAR about 10 years ago you are the the reason I started watching it again. Keep moving them truck don't cut them any slack 😂
Hailie you need to move up to Xfinity next year, or you could become a bust
Go get them Hailey! I haven’t been this interested in NASCAR since Dale SR because of you. When you win your first race in the one of the big three series, it will set the sports world on fire!
She's just 22 years old and learning everything as she goes. Fans put entirely too much unrealistic expectations on her. Just let the girl drive and enjoy watching her improve race after race!
AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT PATRICK CHICKS CAN DRIVE THEY JUST CANT RACE HARD PERIOD
@CORNDODGER lol what car are you driving?
This is so true... literally no drivers are scrutinized and hated as much at her age. It's sad.. but she's getting better and will be around a long time.
@@CORNDODGER TYPING IN ALL CAPS DOESNT MAKE YOUR POINT ANY MORE VALID!
And it's a sexist hypothesis
The fans see a lot of great things in her, where are you trying to take this conversation.? ? ? Go play a video game.
Kenny, thank you giving Hailie a place and time for her to let folks know more about who she is, why she's doing what she's doing. This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a really long time.
I was very impressed when she deftly turned the expected answer around from blaming other drivers for the wrecks that she has been in. Immediately she took charge of the answer and showed that everyone who was involved in the wrecks has a measure of responsibility in what happened. It was her way of quietly saying, "Look guys, here I come." Hailie is very respectful, her K&N days show that. When she sees that you are holding her up, not giving her respect for racing you super clean, here comes the bump and run that she didn't really want to use. When Hailie gives you the spot cleanly, she will remember if you gave her a spot cleanly, and she does remember. She reminds me a lot of Mark Martin, their style of racing is a lot alike.
Herman, Kenny, I once again thank you for giving Hailie the respect that she gives and should receive more of, and the opportunity for folks to learn more about her. She is subtle coating a sledgehammer. Drivers are better off being on her good side, otherwise her bumper is going to get bigger.
Best Hailie interview I've ever seen or heard❤
Somewhere on CZcams a guy has a podcast where they sit around a campfire and she answers all questions about NASCAR racing,how çontracts are worded and paid. I can't remember what the hell the name is though
This is what makes sports fun. Big personalities sharing stories and honest thoughts. What a great conversation. Thank you Kenny and Hailie for sharing.
This wouldn't be The Kenny Conversation if we didn't stray off track every now & then Hailie.
🏁💯 Thank you for this episode Herman.
Hailie always shares a smile and that laugh absolutely brightens any day.
Mark Demaline, thx so much, as always!
So brutally honest about everything. I’m a fan !
She’s personable and articulate, no doubt she wants her shot and seems willing to pay her dues. Great interview Kenny. Hailie has a new fan!
It sure is nice to see two racers just talk. Thank you. An enjoyable hour spent.
Great interview Kenny! Wish Hallie nothing but the best!
Great Conversation
Go Hailey!! Here is some Good Vibe MOJO!! Push it! Good Luck on your Journey
Super fun!!
Hailie, that was a great interview with Kenny and you two hit it off very well together, I learned a little more about you and the real struggles that you have gone through in all the different racing events, and that says a lot about what's going to be coming in your future racing, it was great hearing about all the support your entire family is giving you and your brothers, sounds like mom and dad has been there from the get-go for all of you and your brothers, God bless you and your whole family and have a great time racing.
I just learned a lot about Hailie Deegan and she is the "Real Deal". Thanks Kenny!
I had two girls, youngest almost 28 now… my older was interested in what women in sports and auto racing were doing, how they were doing, what kind of businesses they had. That sorta spurred me to pay attention to young NHRA and stock car women. Of course I always knew about Shirley Muldowney the drag racing twins, the Force girls, Shawna Robinson.
So I’ve been seeing Hailee Deegan work her way through. Totally different person than Danica. I think she’s going to find a way: she has perseverance and we can see what that did for Michael McDowell, Kulwicki, Mark Martin.
@larryeber, Real Deal? ROFLMAO.
@@fishhuntadventure Drag racing and auto rallying are NOT typical auto racing, PUTZ.
This girl is a sponsor’s dream representative! Great personality, looks, speaks well and is comfortable behind a microphone. Business reps had better jump on board early! Tim in northern TN
Best interview racer V racer I have ever watched!
Kenny you have a gift thanks for doing these interviews what an incredible young lady.
Love this.... 65 years old and I love following the Deegans!! Oh Yeah!!! you too Kenny!!! Hahaha!!
Fantastic conversation with Hailie. Love the true honesty from you both...... 😊
Longtime Hailee fan. She continues to show her maturity in this sport. Good luck HD!
I don’t think “maturity” specifically, but rather professionalism. Not that she’s immature, she’s just not a young brat; she’s in motion on a plan.
@brianoconnor8525, ROFLMAO.
Omg Kenny. I just watched the you and Halie. What an amazing conversation. And ya i want you to pass it to her too. The topics, the honesty and well at the end i had a few tears. 10+
Awesome insite interview with all that actually is involved..
Jeggs, I think you're really lucky to have Kenny. He's real. Great show Kenny.
Good for Kenny on walking up to her, but her work and attitude has made me a fan of Hailie. GG
Big shouts to you both, loved this hour with you two.
Thanks Herm for doing this conversation with Hailie .I think she's awesome and I wish her well I would love to see her get that win
@hailiedeegan1 is a superstar badass that’s a fact!! Can’t wait to see you in cup
Good job Kenny! I’m glad you mentioned the difference between trucks and xfin. A lot of fans that have never raced they give drivers hell when Honestly in trucks the last 10yrs they run each other over and it’s not racing as I knew it. Anybody can take someone out. I was taught Your #1 goal is “FINISH THE RACE”. Then after you finish damage free. Your next goal is get a top 10 or 20. -- then progress. Today the kids don’t get spoon fed. I’ve heard countless owners with a new driver. Expecting them to win race 1. When we both know circle track or road racing is all experienced based. It’s not like drag racing where defense isn’t a factor. -- In stock cars/dirt cars. You have offensive moves / defensive moves. Everytime someone puts a new move on you, it gets burned into your brain. It takes years to build that tool box up and fans don’t seem to understand that. I won a ton of races simply by shoveling air under back bumpers. I put them on ice skates 10 times in the last 5 laps. So by the last lap I wore them down mentally. But that took me 3-5yrs to figure out exactly how to do it incognito.
I want to see Hailie driving backwards with the checkered flag !!!
I learned a lot from this interview. It's nice to see you talk with someone working to reach their potential instead of reflecting on their illustrious career. I would like to know more from her if she plans to do any more dirt racing on a regular basis...
Awesome interview. You're right Kenny she needs to be in a car.. Hallie can drive. She and her her dad went and drove a dirt late model and she turned faster times than her legendary dad did. Jake brake Kenny! 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry that I double typed her. I got hurt on a job and hit my head. I'm lucky to even be alive
Hunt the front Tv now too, and that it packed full of late modal racing , thanks BigAl California
Herman Hallie is gonna Zoom in Infinity Series. She has a great personality when it comes to competing on the track. I have always believed that the truck was a bit to much for her style of driving.A great talk fueled by some timely questions and insight. Thanks for sharing Kenny.
Great interview, that girl is wise beyond her years.
I have been following her on CZcams for the last 2 years. She is a incredible young lady with a great future in front of her I look forward to watching her career go to the heights that she wants it to get to. She has the ability to go all the way to the top
Kenny, you do a phenomenal job interviewing. Thank you.
I didn't realize Hailie was so well spoken. Great interview
She is what I call deceptively smart ..... She has that little giggle and doesn't come off as all that smart at first glance until you start listening to her when she gets serious and you can see the wheels turning as she is speaking ....... I didn't really become aware of her until she did a Coffee with Kyle (Petty) and the funny thing is that it ended up being more about Hallie interviewing Kyle than Kyle interviewing Hallie. She was more or less picking his brain about how to deal with being an up and coming driver with a famous father who is a legend. Just type "Hallie Deegan Coffee with Kyle" into the search bar above and it should be the first hit. This was 3 1/2 years ago and you could see then how smart she really is just by the questions she was asking Kyle.
great interview. and i support all the girls in nascar. let's go Hailie in the 13
@HailieDeegan1 LOVE this interview! @Kenny Wallace thank you! She is far beyond her years.
Awesome talk with Hailie, she is one of my new favorite drivers
I got to watch Hailie race at the SRX race at Berlin in Michigan, and was amazed at how well she did on our local track. My dad is not a huge race fan, but was pulling for Hailie! She has had a great last few weeks in SRX, and hopefully, she keeps this rolling! Great job Hailie!
She will do fine, applies herself to what ever she does in life ! You GO GIRL !!!!
Great interview! Best wishes to the young lady!!
Thanks Kenny
Hailey is the real deal and will win a lot of races. Great interview Kenny!!!
Hailie ,is awesome…….great interview Kenny!
I loved this interview so much...2 of my favorite people in Nascar.
They're personalities are a lot alike.
Watched it All Thanks Kenny! I like You!
Kenny great interview with Hailie! Just saw her race trucks at Milwaukee Mile 😁
The Tony Stewart cred comments was awesome at the end of the SRX race
Kenny Wallace is a national treasure
I have been watching her for a few years, and she is definitely being judged harshly. She would be doing much better in the cars. Great interview
Thanks for bringing Hailie on for a very good conversation!
thx so much!
Good watch 👍
Erik Jones put it best when he said : 'You go to the racetrack to win, not socialize'. That's where the mentality started
This was an excellent conversation. One of the most enjoyable podcasts I've heard in a longtime!
thx!
Herman !!! I have listened since you started this deal. Your interviews have gotten so much better and today I believe you just deserve a compliment . You're starting to sound like Earnhardt riding in the pickup talking to a friend while taking care of the ranch. Try some Bonneville racing next. Lol !😂
Great interview as always Kenny, like your style. Hailie, keep getting after it! Have been a fan for years. Great interview, wishing you continued success. Would have been really cool to talk with both of you while at Stafford for SRX, maybe next year?
What an awesome interview 👍 keep diggin Hailie 😎 im a loyal fan from Florida 🇺🇸 🙏🏁
Love this I noticed her in the K&N series then I became a fan of her for sure with her interview on the dale jr download
All the right people respect Hallie, she'll do fine as long as she keeps learning, turning laps and keeping the haters out of her head. Great interview Kenny!
can i say something? a year ago i never watched nascar but since i discovered hailie, it brought me interest and all of a sudden i’m learning a lot about racing. i’m sure i’m not alone but at some level, that’s helpful to the sport!
Great conversation Kenny. I like this format. This is one of my favorites. Good luck to both of you Thursday
Ive been a fan of hailie deegan since her K&N West and im excited for hailie to race full-time in xfinity and i look at in 2022 on her first xfinity start she started 17th and got 13th which is really good for a first time start especially at a track that is tough like Las Vegas that probably looks like Kansas but races way different than Kansas
That was hands-down the best Kenny conversation I have watch to date. awesome job!!
Really enjoyed this video! This is the most inside information I've had from NASCAR. Just found out that Hailie is going to the Xfinity series. That seems like a good move for her. She's young, but has a good background, good experience, and a solid foundation. She should do well in Xfinity. Thanks for this good, insightful, and fun interview! 😊
We're excited to see both of you tomorrow night in Wheatland! Last week was a great race and we're expecting this week to be as well! See you there!
Great interview with Hallie , She's a Great Driver, want to see Her Move up, She better than a Truck driver, She is Awesome in the SRX series, Continued Success in whatever she Does, Big Fan and her You Tube and yours Too Kenny J. Rose Daytona Beach
good conversation
Great video Kenny your channel is awesome. Amazing interview 👏👏👍
You rock girl!!! You too Herm !!!
Kenny, Hailie, is my favortie race car driver, the only reason I follow any racing ,watch her and family videos.
Wow...Halie is one package. She is going to do well. Kick some boys asses and she will do great😊
Kenny, this is one of the best you have had! Your honesty and open mind about the racing world ROCKS. God Bless you, and prayers to Hailie to suceed~
Great interview. Thank you for being yourself and sharing.
Awesome interview. I adore her and wish her success. Thank you Kenny.
Seriously a great interview you gained another sub!
thx so much!
Hailie you definitely have the talent and a wonderful attitude. You are a winner
Great interview. I love Hailie because she is so transparent. Here passion for the sport is refreshing. The boys could learn a lot from her on how to make the sport fun again.
I can't believe how they've turned the truck series into a development series for Xfinity. Completely different vehicles, different engines, different racing styles.
They crash you because your really good and your in the best spot on the track at that moment. Your doing perfect.. don’t change for anyone. Good job ..
Great interview, Hallie was great. She is the real deal. Hope the very best for her and her journey.
Been watching her for a while now she is definitely a great driver. Grew up watching her dad and loved all of his accomplishments.
Great Interview Herman!
Kenny thank you
Would be awesome to get her in a good small local sprint car race event.
Might as well wreck some sprint cars too, right? 👍
Great job both of y’all. Kenny and Hailie . It’s great to see her comfortable and being able to be herself. ❤️. That’s says a lot about you also Kenny . I’m big fan of hers . Love the lady racers from Jo Jo Wilkinson in late models and kody brusso that run locally .
I enjoyed this. She's definitely a dirt racer. Nascar is pretty cut throat racing. I try to keep up with her mini sprint stuff when it's on dirtvision.
Great job Kenny
I loved this conversation you had with Hailie. I truly hope she can succeed in racing.
She will.. succeed
@rodneycaupp5962 she just needs time.
What a well spoken woman! Smart & articulate will make people set up and take notice and want her as the spokeswoman for their product. Xfinity can't be too far off.
I've been following Hailie for a few years and I knew she would be a great interview at Kenny conversation thank Kenny arranging this interview very intriguing
I have watched this on 4-different occasions, and each time I have taken something new from it that I can really appreciate. I want to thank you Kenny for pointing out The great Jeff Gordon did not really perform that well in low horse power cars like IROC, Jeff had that awesome ability to drive his car with the throttle. Also, for pointing out, that Jimmy Johnson barely won 1-Exfinity race, but when moved to Cup, his ability to drive the car with the throttle really propelled him to greatness. I don't think the Craftsman truck series was a good fit for her, based on exactly how her first 2-years went, with limited practice, and sometimes no practice. I started following Hailie after watching Kevin Harvick talk about racing beside her for several laps battling for position and how she demonstrated a natural talent for racing but not only that racing the right way. This young lady is like no other that has come before her and I am excited to watch her progress. She continues to push her self into new environments and types of racing, like running in the marathon events of the Chili Bowl. I commented to my wife so many times, that I had wished that Tony Stewart had encouraged Danica Patrick into once again visiting sprint cars on dirt tracks. I think of the recent example of Kyle Larson winning the Cup series championship the year of his return after racing all over the country any anything sprint car related. I think it is invaluable the experience of learning how to drive the car with throttle and continuously search where you can make speed on a dirt track. My apologies, I did not intend to make this post so long.
It was like that when I raced Jetskis. I raced offshore/endurance and our shortest race was52 miles (Long Beach to Catalina Island and back) and the longest was 300 miles( Multi-lap 16 mile course). We were like family and you would even help someone in your class if needed. When the closed-coursed factory teams would come race with us,they were cut throat.
Great conversation As a motorcycle guy I love her family and her dad is a legend
Oh yeah!!....It's just like North vs. South!! Same thing, I'm sure!!
After this interview Hailie impressed me alot, I wishing her the bestin her career.
Kenny , you had me at Deegan, what a awesome interview, Now go get her Dad for a interview
Great Interview Thank you Kenny.
Long time Deegan Fan, w2go Kenny. Let the rest of the world see what a class act she is ( the whole family). Hope she gets a ride in Xfinity.
I love Hailie! So glad she is being herself and I enjoy her CZcams content. Hope she goes further than the truck series.
