Kenny should be a re-occurring guest host on the channel. He's an excellent tour guide and first-hand historian. That, and he doesn't "make phone calls or haggle around--[he] just walks in and says 'hey, get outta my shop!'" 😂

Kenny just walking in out of nowhere into that shop introducing himself and talking.. reminds me so much of my dad and uncles when I was a kid who wherever they went or shops they went to or whatever would just walk in and start talking and introducing themselves "never met a stranger" type vibe..

I’ve never met Kenny, but I met his brother Rusty at a motor coach convention once, he was sponsored by Prevost car at the time, and he was at their booth. Nobody was even standing by him. I walked up introduced myself and we talked for a bit mostly about his ASA days and racing up in Minnesota at elko speedway and the state fair track. My wife was not with me at the time ( she was back at the hotel) she was a huge rusty fan, I asked rusty to call her and say hi. Which he was happy to do, she thought it was somebody else that was pulling a prank but quickly realized it was him it was hilariously funny. She still talks about it to this day. Great stuff, keep it up. Thank Kenny for his tour it was awesome

I grew up in St. Louis from '70 to '99 and have lived in Orlando since. Best decision I ever made, but I spent a lot of time on Old Sugar Creek Rd in Fenton. Kenny is a very good example of the old school St. Louisian I remember. Funny, "The Man" shirt means a lot to anyone from the area. There are no fans like Card's fans.

These videos are just killer!!! The Wallace’s were my favorite as a kid in the 90s! You’re lucky as hell to be able to this with all these greats from the time when they were hero’s !!!!

30 years later and Kenny remembers everything I lived in Kannapolis as a kid/teenager in the 90's yes these race shops were a big deal back then

The Hermanator did a Kodiak throwback before throwbacks were even a thing. And Bobby Labonte drove 44 like in Terry’s 1984 championship. It’s fitting this is being done with Darlington and the All Star weekend around the corner.

Great channel and video Mitch!! I’m old doctor who has always loved racing and your videos bring back a lot of great memories. Attended my first NASCAR race the Winston 500 at Talladega in 1972. David Pearson won. Cracked me up when Kenny almost dropped a F-bomb.

Hey Mitchell, this was another great video with the great Kenny Wallace. He really shines at moments like this it's nice to see the sincerity of the stories Love the mindset, history and emotions he shows. I have to say I always liked Kenney as race car driver, especially during his Cup years. All of his tv time, interviews and the announcing that he did back in the day. Much respect. With that said, I also have to say that I've tries but can't get into his KZread channel. But again, great job here. Thanks to you all.

Another awesome video of nascar history. Always was a Rusty fan. Good to see Kenny doing well and giving us a look into the past. Thanks to the body shop too, nice of them to let y'all in.

Another great trip down memory lane. Thanks Mitchell and Logan.

respect for gerber collision for also going along with the sudden video tour

I didn't know much about Kenny until you did the first video of him. I have grown to love him, he is truly a unique person and loves to share history of my favorite era of nascar. He spoke the absolute truth about nascar while standing there at the top of the driveway. I love what you are doing and I hope and pray that you and Logan keep doing what you do!

It's so cool to see Kenny's enthusiasm and energy for these videos. It's pretty darn cool to keep getting these background stories about his career in Nascar. You can hear the emotions just flowing out during his commentary. My family has always been Kenny Wallace fans. He actually called my son on his birthday years ago. I answered the phone and didn't believe it was really him. I hung up, he called right back and said No, no, no, I really am Kenny!! Anyways he spent probably 3 or 4 minutes on the phone with my son and wished him the best birthday ever. And it's a memory we keep to this day.

Another very interesting video. I laughed about your comment near the end of the video when you said that Kenny has made your job a lot easier to do the last two segments. He doesn't require much prompting to launch into more interesting stories. Visiting his old shops in the last two segments was fun to give him a chance to reminisce about his career in NASCAR. I'm still a fairly new subscriber but intend to look back at your old videos. (By the way, it added a lot to intersperse the video with the pictures of Kenny's cars from that time -- even to the extent of one with Kenny's toolbox in the background.)
