    Kenny, 76 races in one year is amazing, also a ton of work. Most we’ve ever done is 43 in 2016. We won two track championships at Bubba Raceway Park & Putnam County Speedway in Palatka, finished 3rd in points at All-Tech and 4th in points at North Florida Speedway. We’re points racing again this year. Hope to see you at a track eventually.

    Alright,Jughead and Austin in the house.A man that understands tires whether dirt or asphalt,is a very valuable asset to a racer,Austin does a very good job on dirt tires.He knows what Kenny needs for grip.He explains and executes like a veteran.Jughead is a loyal teamate,who knows how to work with Kenny,and keep that #36 in the hunt.

Couldn't you sharpen the edges by using the grinder kind of vertical to get at the edge. Thanks Kenny. 3 feet of snow on the ground up here in Superior Wi. Snowing like crazy right now.

    Cool. When you groove is it completely perpendicular to the tire always or do you sometimes angle the tool? Looking forward to the siping video if you're going to talk about that. Assuming you could do one on chemicals too, but why let all the cats out of the bag. . .

    Well, I’m gonna just let you know if you’re racing on asphalt OK people may not always know if you’re prepping the tire to make it softer. You’re gonna wanna put use solvent but those ones are illegal for the race tire as certain track did you not want to soften them so it’s like gradually you do it overtime like you’re gonna soften tires. You gonna see it a lot of times at the race tracks the confiscate the tires so you can’t put any stuff on them but if you do that you can get caught cheating cheating but if you had your tires that you’re gonna prep and make ready Within a year or two years then you’re gonna have to have them stenciled all around and those tires are probably last almost 300 laps but after three laps, they blow if they get caught in crash so no you have to know if you’re slick or your dirt car tires are gonna be really good or soft enough to do that. They only put. I think they only put 18 pounds of air in them to blow them up and then knock it down to like 10 pounds or 8 pounds. It depends on, your preparations shock springs but you don’t use tire softeners whatsoever cause they they know they know at the tech barn in the dirt and asphalt they know
