When my son was around 4-5 years old in 94 and 95 Rick Mast was in the number 1car So when he counted to 10 in NASCAR he started with Rick Mast, Rusty Wallace, Dale Earnhardt ,Stirling Marlin, Terry Labonte, just a funny story I remember. Good to see Rick. Keep up the great work Kenny

I damn sure agree with Kenny, Rick Mast from Rock Bridge Baths Virginia. He's a blue collar country boy that worked hard for any success he had. People, especially blue collar race fans, really appreciate that

Kenny thank you so much for having Rick on. I was always a fan. He was always such a gentleman in his interviews. Made me think he was a good man away from the race track. Thank you Rick for sharing with us.

Kenny, That was, in my opinion, your best one yet! I got completely lost in y’all’s chatting and it was over before I even realized that it had been over an hour. Fantastic “Kenny Conversation” and I’m already looking forward to the next few hours to follow… THANKS KENNY!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻

There needs to be a part 2 with Rick. Best story I've heard about Rick was when he turned Mike skinner somewhere and Larry Mac went to confront him and Rick tells Larry 'I did get into the back of mike, but he's the one who elected to spin out'😂

Awesome to hear from Rick Mast and so much history to cover. Love to hear more about his carbon monoxide poisoning that took him out of racing. Always cheered for Rick and he is so likable just like you Herm! No wonder you are such great friends. Both of these guys have big hearts and a lot of common sense!

Rick was the first driver I got to meet way back in "96 when most of them showed up for autograph sessions at the Charlotte Convention Center. It was funny. I was 13 at the time and was star struck. I didn't know what to say. So the first thing I said to him was Jason...that's my name...Jason lol! So he could make the autograph out to me and I'm like he is going to think I'm an idiot. But, not at all. He was so nice and asked how I like racing and all that. So glad to hear is doing well these days!

Great episode Kenny, Rick is a prime example of the term “salt of the earth”, really enjoyed his stories and the conversation. Now we need an episode with Rick’s teammate Handsome Harry…..I have a feeling Harry would be a multiple episode conversation as well.

Rick's construction company put in a huge extension on to the company I work for. It was awesome meeting him and getting his autograph! I saw him race at Pocono for my first NASCAR race back in 2000. Yup and I also got to see the Intimidator run!... I had a calendar of NASCAR tracks and I asked Rick what his favorite track was. He said Dover, so I had him sign the picture of Dover Raceway that was the calendar picture. Very cool guy!

Damn Kenny,sure was a great interview.Looking forward to more Rick Mast. These stories must be done for the generations to come.Rick and Kenny are products of the Glory Days of NASCAR.The coolest story I thought Rick told,when he asked A.J. Foyt what could he do to go a little faster ,A.J. tells him 2 turns of wedge,Rick does that and he sits on the pole.I bet Big Tex let out a smile when he saw Ricks name on the scoreboard as #1 qualifier,at the inaugural Indy Cup Race.Thanks Kenny,Charlie and Rick,as always a great job.

Kenny I've always enjoyed Rick. He was great racer. Such a original character. Miss folks like Rick in Nascar. Remember him have those issues with the carbon monoxide. If not for that . He was on verge of big success in cup level. Doesn't mean he was such a great racer.

@RIVERLORD-bf7uc 8 ай бұрын

Remember when he drew his way in the BUSCH CLASS he said " I knocked 4 cars off the road on the way to the track this morning, Im in the right state of mind for this race." Great guy and a hell of a racecar driver. Good job Herm ! !

I remembered Rick driving a light blue number 22 Late Model Sportsman at South Boston and TRICO Speeday (Orange County Speedway) back in the 70’s. Man, that was good racing; Sam Ard, Sonny Hutchins, Bill Dennis, Ray and Roy Hendricks, Phil Morgan, Butch Lindley. I could go on and on. Man those guys could wheel those Nova’s while Rick ran a Dodge/Chrysler. Good memories….

The word GENUINE was used. That’s something we don’t hear or experience much anymore like COMMON SENSE. Don’t always agree with you sir but I can respect your opinion and look forward to your comments. If more folks understood it’s not the content but the delivery we could enjoy each other more. Thanks.

I’m enjoying Rick Mast talking about the timing loops, and the split reports. You get at Indy! I was also surprised the first time the SCCA ran there. If you’re the fast guy on track. You love seeing your, and all other teams split times! But everybody else on the other teams, hates it. Because it’s blatantly obvious where your deficits are at On track!

Wow, that's cool that Rick mentioned our (former) racetrack, Birmingham (Alabama), twice. I never knew he raced here. We called it BIR, Birmingham Interntional Raceway. If you do a "part two" with Rick, i'd like to know about the Chrysler Kit car and also the time "allegedly" Rick had an on track incident with Sr. Rick got wrecked & while they were fixing the car to go back out Rick said he's going back out to wreck Sr. (Earnhardt) but someone told Ricks crew to stop work, put down the tools because "He's running for the championship"(Earnhardt). Sponsors ? Bill France ?
