Nascar doesn't care what you or the fans think,they prove it every week
No truer statement could be made about NASCAR!!!
Seriously considering giving up even watching...
It's a dying sport...sad, really. Fans and sponsors are leaving in droves.
My best friend WAS a diehard fan for 50 years...today he told me...he's done.
He's even met Kenny in person in Texas...I think Kenny even knows deep down that NASCAR is on its last legs/ wheels.
Might be the most accurate comment yet
Finally, someone said something about this. You cannot be against fighting then show the fight on every opening pre-race show after to hype up the sport. Thank you, Kenny.
Sure you can. Drivers, families, and crew should know better. We’ve gotten too caught up that people deserve more chances mentality.
Agree, it's total chicken shit. "The punch" was the most entertaining moment of the whole show.
Boring race , it was the best part.
I don't understand this idea. It's NASCAR. If races bore you and you like punches there is boxing, UFC, hockey and so on.
@@chasejordan22 Because the race was Ho-Hum Chase. And NASCAR can't make up their damn minds whether they are OK with it or not. This fine is out of left field and Kyle (BB) is right that NASCAR actually loves it. This is just strong arm robbery of Ricky and nothing more.
It wasn’t for the punch it was the fact Ricky riled up his crew who got involved and his dad who also got involved. Ricky’s the face and repetitive of his crew, same as how Rick Hendrick can’t get Kyle Larson outside sponsorship.
@@zacharyradford5552 It's nothing new. The teams are almost always right there. You a new fan?
None of it has anything to do with Larsen, or Hendrick racing at all.
And no idea what this means: "repetitive of his crew"
NASCAR has a long history of promoting fights.
That’s obvious as most races now have plenty of unsold tickets. Been a fan for 55 yrs and been to many races. The talent is still there(Drivers) but their seems to be something wrong with their business plan. Management greed is ruining the sport. Teams have to pay something like 35 million $ to NASCAR.
@@williamgittins4770 Not at the Iowa Speedway (AKA The Track That Rusty Built) the Cup race was sold out by February 7 and Infinity sold out a few days later
and Helmut Tossing Too...
@@williamgittins4770 They've removed grandstands at many tracks and still sell half a house many races...
Saw it on their Instagram account.
Thank you, Kenny! We need this voice. I am one of those older fans you talk about, teetering on the fence with NASCAR, struggling to keep interested, and find their ruling so ridiculous, especially considering their promotion.
NASCAR enabled the fight when they ignored Busch intentionally wrecking Stenhouse.
1979 Daytona 500 was the first flag to flag telecast of a NASCAR race. The fight between Cale Yarborough and the Allison brothers put NASCAR on the map. Call Stenhouse and Busch to the trailer for a talking to and let it be.
That race got me watching NASCAR back on the day
Nascar says you can throw a bumper , but you can't throw a punch?? Nascar absolutely sucks .
100% Agree Kenny. Get well soon. Getting old is not for sissies.
Yeah, not the first mistake NASCAR has made this year. The worst being letting Hamlin jump a restart and not call it.
As a KB Fan should've let them fight if they're going to use it for Advertising. Seems like a double standard by NASCAR
I’m not a Kyle Busch hater at all but I do think the root of the problem that night is Busch’s talent for driving a race car, is being surpassed by his talent for being a jackass. I think it’s just the inevitable path his career was going to take when his skill level started to fade. The in car footage from whoever it was behind the two ( I forget who) showed Ricky never really even got that close to Busch, let alone run him into the wall.
That security guy that's in the middle of all of these fracases needs to back off. It's gotta be nice to be RSJ or Chastain and throw a haymaker knowing that guy is going to stop any rightful retaliation. Noah was going to send Ross into 3030 with Deltron Zero and Automator with that windup.
@@djmohab2 It's just like what Charles Barkley did with Shaquille O'Neal, he threw a couple punches knowing that they were going to separate them. Exactly what Stenhouse did, they need to do what Tony Stewart said. Let them fight and when one guy goes to the ground it's over.
Kb don't want to be fighting anybody! Kyle Busch is cocky but he'll mess around and get his ass whipped! He better stay out of the fighting game and stick to driving a race car
Kenny that’s a good point! Poor Ricky, fined $75,000! NASCAR + a few million $ from advertising that fight everywhere! It’s even on TV on Pluto!
Brilliant move by NASCAR
They should have penalized Kyle for intentionally wrecking Stenhouse
Why? Not too long ago all the drivers in NASCAR called him "Wrecky Stenhouse". Between Danika Patrick and Wrecky, they were a wreck-fest made in hell. I don't know who was the worst driver of this boyfriend, girlfriend disaster. He has NO leg to stand on bitching and complaining about getting wrecked. He did MORE than his share of putting drivers into the fence. He needs to grow a pair, put on his big-boy pants, shut up and take it like a man.
@@bobbywilhelm6670Stenhouse thinks he’s cool now cause he won a 500 Is all, kinda reminds me of bubba, except stenhouse has 3 wins compared to his 2 lol
Where is Busch's penalty for intentionally wrecking Stenhouse? Last year, that's all NASCAR was doing - Wallace, Byron, Hamlin. WTF is NASCAR doing, TRYING to wreck the sport more than they already have? Not good.
It was a bump on a short track and Ricky over-corrected. No fine is right.
Nascar doesn't know what they are doing. They are so confused 🤦♂️
NASCAR can't follow their own rules. Take off your blinders NASCAR, purposely putting a driver into the wall is far more dangerous than a little fist fight. Kyle Busch should be suspended and fired as well!
Yeah because guys like Dale Earnhardt would never do such a thing ..... Oh wait a minute ......
@@longjohn526 That's why nascar used to be good. Can't do anything now without getting a fine or penalty..
Agreed Herman. Nascar wants it both ways. The problem is, they can.
nah just turn the garbage racing off. Trans Am is better racing anyways.
If a fine was issued for Stenhouse then Busch should have received one for wrecking Stenhouse as that was intentional.
Ruined expensive equipment..
Yep. NASCAR bites it's own butt on this action. Hoping for good health for you, Kenny.
Sorry to say after 50 years of watching NASCAR im pretty much done with it! That’s bs! They promote the fight to get views and then turn around and do this! Wtf! NASCAR has went woke! The next thing is them going broke!
Exactly what I have been saying for years about NASCAR and Television network promoting the fighting and banging then fining and penalizing the drivers and crew . Don't glorify it for promotion, then turn around and find them. Stop the promotion of it.
We agree 110% with you. This is BS!
So confrontations are forbidden but putting a competitor into the wall is ok. Wonder what Ricky will do this weekend?
Yes this is such BS. Fighting isn’t that common but when it happens the fans get fired up and it’s money in the bank for nascar. NASCAR is clueless
Fellow vertigo sufferer here, was hospitalized past December, saw a doc who cracked my neck, about 90% of the issues went away. This is may now, still not stable on my feet, can't walk a straight line and I trip over a lot of things. Hope things get better for you
Kyle Busch should be suspended for 2 weeks for intentionally wrecking Stenhouse. How you suspended Chase Elliott for trying to wreck Denny last year but no suspension now for intentionally wrecking. Good job Nascar you finally drove away a lifetime fan. Nascar is not even across the board they pick and choose who they punish. Maybe Kyle Busch should have been pulled off track at lap 2 as well.
One race for Kyle at worst.
NASCAR couldn't find their ass with both hands. The action on the track by Kyle Busch was potentially far more damaging than anything Stenhouse did.
With both hands AND a flashlight.
as a KFB fan, agreed
At the 600, Ricky will receive a standing ovation and sell over $75k in merchandise, Busch will be greeted by thunderous boos.
Ricky needs to sell a special edition “Ricky Roundhouse” t-shirt, however AssCAR probably has a rule against that.
I can see that happening. like the T-shirt idea though
The NASCAR web page article about the fine is literally playing the video of the fight, NASCAR officials are clowns
Sadly this is why they have lost me as a fan. They lost me before this happened. But this just solidifies my actions. Been a fan for 50 yrs but enough is enough. Y’all enjoy!
Hope you get to feeling better Kenny
Sounds like the BS i had to deal with in middle school with bullies... I'd get the shit kicked out of me, verbally abused, the whole 9's, and be told to ignore the bully... When that doesn't work and I finally dotted him between the eyes, I get suspended... figure that BS out... Kyle costs a team man hours, money and resources over literally zero contact on track, and gets zero punishment, but the guy standing up for himself gets 75k taken away. I can understand Rick Sr being suspended. It should've stayed between the drivers... but NASCAR absolutely F U C K E D this up in ways I can't even comprehend.
Amen to that! My thought exactly.
He got crashed on purpose. Blatantly stuffed into the wall. In front of the whole field!!! What a joke!!
sten needs to learn how to not overcorrect. On a larger track it may have been understood, but that was a f up on his part. Kind of looked more like Busch did a bump just to wake him up and get by at the same time.
Nascar is wrong from that. Rickeys car costs a lot more than 75,000
Take a drink each time NASCAR replays footage of the 1979 Daytona 500 fight.
Glad drivers are finally coming out about this. Great to hear you, Suarez, Sadler among others
Kyle Busch intentionally dumping a driver that didn’t touch him is good to go(didn’t hold him a lap in race and no penalty after), but the driver delivering punishment after the race bc you won’t gets fined probably half his salary. Insane
If this fight was so bad, why did NASCAR send out a video clip promoting it on the official NASCAR CZcams channel? Also, why didn’t NASCAR have officials at Kyle Busch’s trailer - everyone watching knew what was coming after the race, the reporters and camera people were all gathered there!! I don’t like to see fighting, yelling is fine, but not fighting. However, it was the most exciting part of the All-Star race, since as Bill France, Jr. would say, Joey Logano “stunk up the race” by dominating it. NASCAR behaves in such a bi-polar way, celebrating the 1979 Daytona 500 may-lay, then penalizing drivers who stand up for themselves. Next time you ask drivers to do tire testing, don’t send a Cup Series champion to perform 800 laps of FREE practice on a racetrack that is coming up on the schedule. How about send 3rd tier drivers (20th or worse in points) who need the extra practice?! Not impressed NASCAR, are you listening?!
NOT SURE ABOUT PAYING HIM ANY MONEY, KENNY. YOU ARE RIGHT, THOUGH...MAYBE USE IT TO THERE ADVANTAGE AND NO FINE! LET IT GO AT THAT. ALSO, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND GET BETTER!!
NASCAR doesn’t know how to screw in a lightbulb with one hand. The only excitement since there was no passing for the lead last week was the Punch! Period!😮
We got Kenny saying "I don't like NASCAR" now. lol
I agree, Kenny. Hope you feel better
Hey Kenny, first as a 42 year RN there can be many causes of vertigo from neurological to viral to traumatic (repeated concussion etc.) you are unfortunately correct that it takes the right MD to work through the possible causes to find the correct solution.
Secondly you are 100% correct, NASCAR should be paying Stenhouse and his father not fining and penalizing them. And with the further evolution of the NASCAR clown act there should be a ring set up in the winners circle where the top 6 finishers, and their dads, square off in a tag team over the top rope battle royal to determine the final finishing order.
Nascar, I feel picks and chooses who they want to penalize. Bush took him out and he is not getting fined yet. Matt takes out Joey and gets parked, fined, penalized and nothing about bush yet. There are other drivers that get penalized and fined over the years and others drivers don’t get touched.
nascar has always had its favorites. to add to matt and joey, how about when jeff gordon wrecked out bowyer who was fighting for the championship that year. never parked or fined!
Correct! NASCAR ought to write Ricky a check for $75,000 for boosting the ratings and creating a buzz around the sport. Take it from the advertising budget if necessary.
I'm sorry to hear about your vertigo. Feel better soon.
Right on Kenny! Best thing I've seen in NASCAR for awhile. If I were a car owner I would want my driver to be that passionate about wrecking our car!
The fight was the only exciting part of the race. That race was boring as hell, they should pay Ricky and Kyle the million dollars that they gave Joey.
maybe they did before the race.....just saying
I would have called Ricky into the trailer and gave him a shot of shine! Thanks Kenny. Stay strong.
You are exactly right Kenny! A fight put NASCAR on the national map and now they give out this stupid ass fine
Kenny I am praying for you 🙏 buddy this is the problem with our health care system.
Busch must be their golden boy. Feel sorry for him because he's running like shit. Ridiculous nascar
Yep
What a bunch of BULLSHIT @NASCAR
You don’t have to wonder why the ratings and fans stop watching and coming to the races. SmH. I agree with you 100% Kenny
These fines were spot on, except the 75k to Ricky. It was premeditated, he had 2 hours to cool down, but involved his crew and his Dad. Ricky shouldn’t face any fine, punches have been thrown before. However the crew and Dad going hands on with Kyle, deserves everything they got.
WINSTON CUP RULES
let them settle it behind the garage.....
You are 100 % right.Ricky should be paid for making that race exciting.
He got fined because outside of racing or sports they arrest you for assault. We can take away the fines or have him arrested. Dealers choice.
Lmao!
If something would have happened and his punch killed him it be considered premeditated cause he waited 2 hours for him
@@tedneitzel Sebastian ain't wrong. This would be considered assault. It would cost Stenhouse more than $75K to defend himself in court.
AGREE
@@garyjackson3531Not anymore at all! Court would throw it out because of the sift on crime thing! Especially New York and California absolutely nothing would happen!
Nascar. SHAME ON YOU!!!!
NASCAR shouldn't be showing the fight on their social media if they are going to fine and suspend crew members
They had to fine Stenhouse to convince fans it wasn't another staged conflict for marketing. Kenny is that dude every guy wants to hang out and have a beer with.
Appeal appeal appeal no way it shoould be that bad
Just like touting “driver safety” and “fan safety” as their number one concern, yet every Talladega promo has footage of the “big one” or a car nearly going through the catch fence.
You hit the nail on the head, Kenny! Hope you get to feeling better!
I agree with you 100 percent. Hopefully you get to feeling better.
Well said Herman!!! Reasonable, logical, and excellent perspective! NASCAR should use the incident for promotion, and by not penalizing Bush, they’re condoning that drivers intentionally wreck one another…
Another beauty take by you Kenny!
100%, the whole thing is ridiculous. Kyle intentionally (as much as intentional can be intentional) wrecks Ricky on lap 2 after getting passed by him, puts himself in the wall. Ricky had to wait around the ENIRETY of the race as he could not leave the track. Probably so pissed and stewing the whole race so you better bet your butt when he's finally able to talk to Kyle he does. Kyle acts like his sarcastic self leading to get punched..
Since sunday night, there has been SO much social media coverage on the fight by even NASCAR itself, they should absolutely be ashamed for fining/penalizing over it..
Kyle getting away unscathed is boggling too, let's all ignore he once again purposely wrecked someone for merely not reason or repercussion.
If he had walked up to someone on the street and suckered punched them it would have cost more than 75k plus court cost.
Not in New York City.
3:30 Not even close anymore and there is no such thing as a sucker punch in fighting! What do you expect him to do announce it? 😅lmao!
You must be a Bush fan.
@@danwhitworth8648 LOL since 2005 when he drove the #5 never a shrub fan or his pointy eared brother. Stenhouse is just as whinny a bi#$5 as little shrub.
Said like a true Kyle Bush fan.
I absolutely agree! NASCAR is so corrupt now! I love that opinion! Yes, Pay RS, Jr for the promotion material!!!
Once again Nascar has proven they can't make the right call.You fine a guy for punching a guy that wreck him and do nothing to guy that wreck him.
NASCAR is seemingly doing everything they can to destroy themselves. Feel better Kenny.
Nascar has changed a lot
And NOT for the Good!
Politics, RCR has more “influence” than Stenhouse. Busch wrecks people (even under caution, remember Micheal Waltrips remarks back then when he has commentating, he should be kicked out indefinitely)year after year, race after race yet Busch continues to wreck I mean race year after year. He obviously retaliated on track when he perceived in his bad driving as someone else’s fault. You wonder why people say “ I hate nascar” well this politics and lack of fining drivers is Another reason to just watch local dirt races instead of nascar. At least when the local drivers fight you get to see it from the stands lol.
To me that feels like picking sides. They are not going to follow their precedent and suspend Kyle one race for hooking Stenhouse Jr? All Stenhouse's dad did was try and break it up. Sure he was on Kyle but he was just trying to break it up. The crewmember that was throwing people off the hauler should be suspended for the rest of the year. NASCAR being NASCAR.
Stenhouse Sr had NO business even being near Kyle Busch after the race knowing his son was going to be looking for a fight. He needs to be kept away from the drivers. Where was the NASCAR Officials who unless they are totally clueless , should have been on top of Ricky jr after the race , keeping him from arms reach of Busch. It’s not like this wasn’t known to Nascar what was about to go down.
NASCAR is just shit their way or the highway. They just want all the money they can get. Correct on promoting the fight.
"BOYS HAVE AT IT!" must be over...
I agree. I thought NASCAR had finally smartened up and return a little to their roots but nnnooooooo!
Hey Kenny, good analogy. I had a little bit of problem with vertigo several years ago. I felt like I wanted to hold onto the floor because I thought I was gonna fall off the end of the year so I sympathize with you buddy.
Well said Herm! Another example of how Nascar is off the rails!!
Hope you feel better Kenny, that doesn't sound fun.
Best Kenny Conversation yet my dude. Even feeling like shit.
I think what really happened was there was a guy who was calling Ricky "Spinhouse" and it just went from there
Speak the truth Kenny!!! Exactly what I believe. Hope you find answers to your vertigo. Health care more convoluted that nascar if you can imagine that.
Thank you Kenny. So true. NASCAR is spoiling it's own sport.😢😢
I agree with Kenny. No one should have got penalized it was racing and no one lost any points. If it was points racing both should have been fine. And if someone used a weapon they should be banned indefinitely with charges. But a good fight makes you stronger and it makes people think before acting. Actions have consequences. Kenny you are keeping it real and never change. If you piss off some people tell them better to be pissed off than pissed on.
PREACH! Say it louder for the people in the back! I said the SAME thing! I hope you feel better soon. Vertigo sucks!
You're absolutely right, Kenny.
Hope you start to feel better. Coincidentally, that's the way my vertigo started - laying on my side under my car changing the damn oil. Keep doing the Epley Maneuver. It'll take a few times to get normal again.
Sad…NASCAR will make millions on the replays of this fight….Kenny you are right on it!!!
Kenny, go to the clinic in Minnesota. They are the best in the world and treat you with respect and honesty. I agree with you 100% on that fine.
Keep on people...
nascar only sees this as a means to get more money. They didn’t fine Bobby and Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough for 1979 for their backstretch brawl at the end of the Daytona 500. That fight is still celebrated today by those who are old enough to remember it and had seen it on tv.
I'm with you Kenny. There are many words that describes how Nascar is handling the situation. Hypocrisy is one that comes to mind. Nascar needs to take a stance and stick with it. Fining drivers for fighting and then using it to promote the sport is wrong in many ways. But this isn't the first time and I bet it won't be the last.
Absolutely agree with paying Ricky for promoting Nascar......Boom.....Period.
On the vertigo. Had it about 3-4 years ago. Couldn't spank myself with both hands for a few days. That was definitely something I'd not wish on anyone. After all that was said and it finally went away. Found that my ears, one side had liquid on the inner. Since then I ended up with tinnitus. Been battling that. Had the ear specialist all that. Age they said. I called BS., but still have it. Ears, nose and throat Docs don't give much help, take your money but that's about it. Have certain allergies at different times of the year. Since they are all connected, then it basically backs up into the ear canals. If I take a allergy relief then it's not too bad but never really goes away. Kind of used to the ringing anymore. Though I can say my hearing can only stand certain pitches of noise.
Only thing I can say Kenny is......WE ain't what we used to be.......
I agree 100% that it’s hypocritical to fine him, then use the footage. NASCAR shouldn’t be allowed to show the fights on air, post about fights, or use any fight footage in promos.
When my friend texted me that this happened I thought he was full of crap. This is pathetic.
Sorry about the vertigo. I've had it for about 8 years now. It's like a time bomb. Can he good for 18 months and out of the blue, pow. I also work on cars for the past 37 years and you need to be really careful how you move to avoid it. I've luckily determined it's always looking down to the left that brings it on so I can usually avoid that but sometimes not paying attention I will look that way and then crap, a day for two before it calms down. I've find the Foster Maneuver works best for me.
Thank you for saying what needed to be said. Get well!
Nah this is a non points race , let it go
I love ya Kenny I watched you and Rusty when I was growing up me and my dad would watch all the races together. They don't have drivers like you legends anymore. Hope you get well so buddy
I agree Herm. Hope the vertigo eases up. Be a loud and assertive patient and get the answers. They will probably do goofy and uncomfortable tests, but get the answers about why it's happening. Good luck, Bud.
Kenny, I had the same symptoms years ago. Doctors couldn't figure out if it was vertigo or panic attacks. They tried everything, Finally a few years later a doctor told me to try "Buspirone". Cured it right up. Haven't had any issues since. Just a thought.
HERMAN telling like it is !!! I always enjoy your HONEST opinion !
NASCAR promoting controversial actions has nothing to do with penalties. The social media team just tries to do anything that will help attract attention. When Kenseth wrecked Logano they promoted it, when Chase wrecked Denny (last year) they promoted it. It literally has nothing to do with the penalties that come afterwards. Penalties come from the governing body and promotions are done by social team.
That’s the most expensive sucker punch in history.
Kenny Wallace how do you get to feeling better I've been watching your show for a long time keep up the good work stay strong 👍
