You’re thinking of Robin Hood Kenny, not Peter Pan 😂

the cost of dirt racing has got out of hand years ago all across the board, in every series an class

Kenny Wallace is the national treasure of racing 🏁

So the moral of the story is that Peter Pan needs to team up with Robin Hood to save dirt racing?

😂 Herm you are a priceless gift that just keeps on giving! Love it. Keep on keepin on!

Kenny, the only poor man late model teams are running your local track on Friday or Saturday night & they used to use either a tag along or small enclosed trailer being pulled by a pickup. But now even at your local dirt or asphalt tracks, teams are starting to show up with haulers that cost more than their houses! NO such thing as cheap late model racing anymore not when a set of tires cost more than the average local driver makes working a full week at his day job. That's why NASCAR is trying to cut costs, it's almost impossible for a Cup team to show a profit for the season even with 15 to 20 million in sponsorship $ & race winnings for the year.

Have to correct you Herman. Million dollar haulers been around for years. C.S. Fitzgerald 1996 Octoberfest races at Hagerstown speedway. Rodney Franklin. Nathan durbarough. Donnie Moran. Scott bloomquist. Mark Richards. Been around 25 years

SLM became like nascar back in the late 2000s when I had to buy $800 a piece shocks instead of the 100-150 afcos. Then came the bump stops, hold down setups, twisted noses and open rear roof panels along with that, became the aero game then.

Congrats on 100,000!!! I do believe u on knowing everything? It wasn’t Peter Pan your talkin about , Robin Hood! Love your wacky content Peace brother

Saw Ricky run a Black Diamond car at the 2016 Wild West Shootout and was impressed. Since the late 90’s I’ve looked at the haulers and the equipment in the pits at Eldora and said this isn’t a poor man’s sport.

Much love, youtube tip, Might wanna not show your address. When I get packages, I have to sharpie them out. But there are weirdos who stop and pause stuff. But much love, happy Wednesday

we still love our poor Modified and B-Modified drivers Kenny!! 🙂

Great stuff Kenny. But I think the big question was why they'd fire the guy who won over a million dollars last year and had a 200 plus pt lead. Now this yr he's leading 2 series with over 15 wins already... why?

Keep it coming loving the content.!!!!!

Congratulations on the yt trophy herm ,love the podcasts and videos

Hey Herm.... I know this is not relevant to this video....but I wonder if we could find a sponsor that would finance a challenge of the top 10 comment haters of Hailie on a track. Them against her... Think it would shut up alot of the noise. I say this because years ago there was an indoor Kart facility sponsored by MoMo in St. Pete. I went there one day with some buddies and lo and behold Danica was there training. She WHOOPED everyone there by seconds! Was a sight to behold. One guy got his feeling hurt and made an absolute ass of himself. Cussin' and screaming she was cheating...lol Was crazy.... got'm banned and rightfully so. Would love to see this play out again and think it would draw a LOT of eyeballs!

Kenny its just mind blowing that a guy dominates races wins a chamionship and still is the baddest MOFO on dirt kickin ass every night gets fired from his ride. BShepp put Ricky in the 5s monday night in Lincoln his first time to get in the car and went from 20th to 7th RTJ is a badass I've always been a Bloomquist fan and anyone from Central Ill. I hope Shepp can continue to give Ricky a seat that'll be a badass team for sure. Frickin greed car owners Ricky was going above and beyond what he was probably making and I guarantee Hud will never do anything in that ride he just can't run with the bigdogs.👍🏁🇺🇸🏁🙏

My take is there great drivers, and we hope they succeed in everything moving forward! Talan Willis , you the man as well! Good luck to all y’all ! Love these videos Kenny! Have a great evening y’all!

The big money will ruin it like every thing else

I remember him running in Iowa for two entire summers. He told me as an announcer, that he came to Iowa to get really good on dirt! He was young..... Pretty awesome

This was a "Herm After Dark" episode lol. Congrats on the 100K!!

As a fan, my understanding of racing is that the most important thing is winning. I pay money to see a competition. If a team owner tells me the guy who is the best driver in the world at his specific type of racing isn't good enough to keep his ride after winning a crapload of races, what that team owner is telling me is that the competition on the track doesn't matter. If Todd Burns doesn't want me to think the competitions his car is in are relevant, it is very, very easy for me to just watch something else. Related: Thank you Todd Burns, you've freed up some time for me moving forwards to do something else.

RTJ will be driving for Koehler Motorsports.

Kenny those people who think they know everything really annoy use people who do . lol keep up the good work.

I know everything, so stop it! 🤣 You rock, Herman!

Kenny "I am only speaking for my self" in one respect I agree there is more money out there prize money to start money and the T shirt sales are a a whole new level and that's a good thing im glad there is more money in it however its not enough for a whole field of gypsys to chase but there are several that are trying to formulate a plan to "Harvest" such to a hi degree. My draw to Dirt Track goes back to my child hood and living less that a mile from Raceway 7 in Northeast Ohio over time I got away from it and evolved into following other forms of racing but over time the other forms (NASCAR) evolved into something very different than when I initially had interest and has evolved into a form of racing (in my opinion) similar to what used to be the IROC series (everything the same, cars components, airguns in the pits) they have the rules and requirements so bolted down there is no room for innovation its everyone the same so it seams. Some folks call it "Cheating" when they think of things that give them a leg up on the competition I would rather refer to it as Inovation NASCAR has very little room for that today,, and you are correct enough money got in the sport and it needed controlled some how to prevent the creation of Super Monster Teams. To wrap it up I hope we are not headed in the same path with DT as NASCAR has went but just 10-15 years behind ? Just my 2 cents I never respond much and never have written such a big post.. Lets all stay safe and enjoy the summer racing and summer no matter what racing you all may follow,, and God be with John Force...

Anyone who thought Dirt Late Model racing has ever been cheap has had blinders on. It's always cost everything you had and then some.

It doesn’t have to be this way. There are millions of LS chevys in junkyards all over the land. Let us buy a mod chassis and throw a LS with a Holley system, and wrap it all up with solid claim rules.

Congratulations on 100k subscribers. 🎉

UPS Man.for.the win!!!!!

Kenny Wallace the only guy with wilder hair than me! Love your show Kenny.

You up to 103000 . Gotta get to 110000 by Labor Day 🙏🙏👍🏁

Hell I was just as happy to have a hundred subs 😂❤🎉🎉🎉 Congrats Herm!!

Dirt racing is $$$$ period ! I miss the days of the old coups. [ my favorite 8-ball on the side... RIP, God Bless Jimmy Shampine, Not to mention a genus in super mods in car fabrications... THE BEST EVER!!!!!] Seeing "Gentlemen Jim" have it high and wide on the cushion passing cars out of 4 against the wall at the old "has been track" Rolling Wheels! That olé "Green Machine" FORD! Then they went to cut off Gremlins and Pinto's to eventually they all look like "Hybrid" Gremlins these days at the dirt tracks.

UPS Man for the WIN!!!

Money always rules everything

Congrats

Congrats on the 100k subs!

Heather Debeaux is GOLD! She should be everywhere.

Peter pan. lol Robin hood. I'm hurting my arm now too. love you man

Kenny is the best and Herman is ok. But gotta ask. You have a youtube manager,?

how many drivers own their car or family backed in super late models? I know sponsors play a big part,but how many drivers finance with out pocket money? To stay competitive, you need to have deep pockets and the newest equipment plus travel to hit the big races.One day super late models will price themselves where nobody can afford to run or have to raise the gate price more. Is this becoming NASCAR?

corporate money ruined pavement now they are gonna ruin dirt. when your fav driver can t race anymore you will know why.

Congrats on the new trophy!

Congratulations on 100k

That would be Robin hood not Peter pan. Thought you knew everything. Congrats on the hundred k.😂😂

Congrats Herman on the 🏆 🎉

Best delivery

Your right Kenny. And they don't make enough money to pay the bills.

Congrats on the 100k

Everything is about money Herman, damn I spent $40 on 🌮 Bell the other day, you should get a taco bell sponsorship Kenny 😂

I've seen those expensive haulers at the dirt track for 20 plus years now. They aren't anything new but boy have they gotten nicer!!!

As the song goes it's all about the money especially when you're on top of your game you're going to get big sponsors and the cost is so high racing fuel 🤑 being on the road for months 🤑 parts and motors🤑 fuel for truck 4 dollars a gallon etc.

Im just curious what Oneals sales pitch is because it wasnt winning against RTJ.

Kenny, you can say Fuck. I was a sailor 20 years… I talk that way

Congrats on 100000 way to go Kenny 😅

Congrats on your 100k trophy!!

Same with Cars Tour. All about money!

Money Money Money MONEY 💰 🤑

Peter Pan be thuggin these days.. Gawt dam.

It was actually Robin Hood, not Peter Pan! 😂

well its an accomplishment for a channel it really is, but yea huddy oneal, one of the few really good late model drivers from indiana that was a shock as much as ricky thorton parting ways, sometimes you get those kind of years and silly season its like stuff just dont make sense, but yea they all start out as a good driver with little money, but the thing is big hauler or not most the tracks they come to are "local tracks" and many times the local or regional heros will be right there along the big dawgs, I mean really I could not belive how plain kyle larsons sprint car is you would expect a flashy paint job and signs, but naw his white number 57 looks kind of non discript, like just one of the many regional competitors, as well as the traveling series guys and girls, on dirt though the power distance is not as far as say indy car or if kyle or chase brisco in nascar when they are at the little mean bull ring like kokomo or the legendary bloomington, or the slightly larger burg with its highly banked though lowered banking on the 3/8s you get a pit pass and your right up there talking to the driver 3 feet away vs dont cross that line in nas or indycar pit pass or not. heck a few times I even held stuff or help pushed up cars with promission last year at the hoosier hundred in silver crown, or at kokomo this year someone needed a hand pushing their sprint car forward a little and I said need a hand and jumped in to help, and I am just a cat that likes to get a pit pass so I can get autographs and talk with favorite drivers and at the bigger tracks watch from the middle of the track where the pits are like winchester irp or eldora, really though I like to ask drivers and crew about things and get answers from the horses mouth that way I know, I know many like the silver crowns and many are not as up on it and its linnage going back to the dirt champ cars and large fairground track openwheel roadsters 100 years ago but the are for intents and purpose the leftovers of the front engine indy cars, and the very best winningest all time kody swanson is so kind and down to earth hes like someones neighbor down the street you might not see all the time but you see them several times a year and will chat with people, maybe not as much as kenny or tmez in the talkitive department but down to earth and loves the silver crowns and just the whole history the legendary drivers the iconic tracks you will not find a bigger cheerleader for the series, and seems to me every win means soo much to him if you watch his interviews at a race

What kind of beer do you and Schrader like to drink when you guys are having a cold one?

I just hope RT Jr doesn’t leave dirt. That’s what happens when they get so good somebody invites them to step up to NASCAR for more money.

did RTJ fired or did he quit?

I love that Kenny has his hands dirty, and not his silver hair 😂

interesting.

This might end up being huge for Ricky, he could end up landing sponsorship(s). Any media is good media.

So basically RTJ needs to have multi million dollar sponsor that is part of him. He needs to bring that to a team. He was an expense to the team, not an income. How'd I do on spelling that out Herm? 😊

I wish RT20 was in NASCAR 🙏

So please help me out here.. if its all about money, why did they fire RTj? Does the owner think Hudson is going to make them more money than RTj? What am i missing here? It sounds like RTj was blind sided by this?

"Peter Pan." 😅

Was thinking Chaz called you

I can't find two people that even know who he is!

f yeah herman tell it brother

Sometimes it’s personalities, not just money.

❤🎉

Yea the money is out of control, win 10 - 20 k at a race but costs 10 k just to be there

I always wonder when a driver “leaves” a team do they know it’s coming usually or did RTJ show up for work & get canned, it was shocking, I’m sure he’s already got something else in the works.

Robin Hood, not Peter Pan.....Wallace! 😅

Hey Kenny you dont have to cuss to look or be cool, just a pro tip lol

Dirt racing was one of the poorest not taking must to get into it, But Racing has always been a Rich Mans Sport... no matter if its a Go cart the one that spends the most goes the fastest provided he can drive... But anyone looking for a driver I'm here lol

So Huddy brought some money??

They wanted to go in a different direction sounds like there outta money. Rtj wins alot seems like devanport only wins the big races an runs top 10 everywhere else when rtj is consistently top 3

It's because the parts cost so dam much

I'm from Arizona, the racing sucks here, cars are too expensive and there's no good tracks after Manzanita closed. Get a boat it's cheaper.

Hasn’t auto racing always been about money, or lack thereof? When an individual invests more into the sport than they get out, that’s clearly a bad business model. People like yourself do it for the love of the sport… and very few make a living off their local dirt tracks. Not everyone can be a Jonathan Davenport…

More like Robin Hood! Lol!❤

Not Peter pqn

It is all about money I tried for years to run on a factory workers pay check it ant happening trust me. 3.5 million in equipment and 500,000 plus yearly to maintain your equipment .

Robin Hood!!!

Never heard of him

Peter Pan?

Let's cut through the BULLSHIT what Herman is saying Huddy is able to bring more money to the table SPONSORS it just as they say BUSINESS 🏁🏁🏁

Well crap, us poor folk can't have nothing.

Thought WALLACE knew it all, come found out he don't , Robin Hood took from rich and give to the poor, not Peter pan. 😂😂

Dirt Super Late racing needs to have the snivel session after every race. Then we can have the stupidity just like NASCAR. Racing never has been cheap. With the advent of the 2 big Late Model circuits it's gonna get "dummer and dummer". On purpose wrecking and snivel.

Came here to see what the big deal is

Who?

All racing now is about money
