Kenny Wallace does not mince his words as he lashes out at budding racers

There has been an ongoing narrative, that children born with silver spoons are the ones only eligible for racing and make a headway in the cut-throat world of racing. However, there are numerous instances where drivers without the backing of any stalwarts have been able to carve their own niche, at their own expense. One such exemplar being Kenny Wallace himself. 

Wallace before donning his firesuit and getting recognized by the legendary Dale Earnhardt, was a mechanic in his father’s and brother’s car. The former driver did not have the backing of millions of dollars from his family. However, he was able to materialize his dreams through sheer hard work and faith in himself. Owing to this the veteran driver lashed out at the budding drivers, who fail to overcome their adversity and state it as an obstacle in achieving their success.

In the latest episode of his YouTube show, tilted, ‘Money Is the Root of All Evil’ Wallace expressed, “The reason I am a race car driver and I grew up poor with no money is because Treb Jacobe hit a nerve and Shrader says it best, “I have one bad nerve and you just stepped on it.” I am so tired of people using money as an excuse that they can’t race. Well first of all, if you won’t talk and all you do is grunt- ‘Hi, how are you doing?’ (Makes grunting noises with his noises). If you don’t talk and you are not different and you don’t stand out, you are most likely not going to be a race car driver.”

“Now if you don’t talk, you better make it happen somehow. I got a couple of guys around here, Michael Long and Dean Hoffman, they wouldn’t say anything if they had a mouthful of sh*t, but buddy they make it happen. They are good racers and they work hard, they do it all on their own, they are workers, they do everything. They make it happen, it really is how bad do you want it Treb.”

In a cautionary advice, Wallace stated, “I think a lot of it’s a mindset,” Wallace said. “I told you what a lot of it is. It’s like the construction worker, boy, I want to work but it’s raining, right? I’m a worker but it’s raining, same thing in racing. People that want to race, I could move up, but I don’t have any money. Listen, number one, stay in your lane. If you run a compact car, run a compact car, don’t move up to B-mods and get your a** in trouble.”

“If you’re going to run a super late model, you better find a sugar daddy. Somebody that’s got a business, I don’t have a business, it’s just too expensive.”
