Great interview, but dang Kenny, there doesn’t need to be a time cap on a podcast. Let the man tell the stories, they were gold. Loved it

@austinaschemann6080 12 дней назад

Couldn’t agree more. Bring us a part 2. So be it. Let the guys talk.

@kenjoseph-bw5bo 12 дней назад

Couldn't agree more. Too many stories cut short just when they were getting good.

@@bhuff4748 Basically, all you people telling me how to do my interviews need to shut the eff up!!! If you keep telling me how to do them I'll quit this sh*t and go back to dirt racing. That pretty much summarizes it lol.

@jaredlewellyn717 11 дней назад

We want more interviews with more dirt track legends! It would be especially cool to have some episodes of with their sons like Mark and Josh, Bob and Bobby Pierce, Donnie and Devin ect.

@burleynutbob6523 12 дней назад

Outstanding interview with one of the Greatest! I could set here all day and listen. Need a part 2. Thanks for keeping Dirt racing real.

Kenny this interview with Mark Richard’s was outstanding. When you can get a guest like Mark stow the clock under the desk. Keep up the great work.

@ronaldcoleman2326 12 дней назад

I have met many of the people talked about in this interview , Howe , Rayburn , Callahan , and Phillips included . I never would have believed you could carry a conversation with Mark Richards for an hour and a half . This was so interesting , I had to watch it twice . Please do it at least one more time . Bravo

@racerdad6455 12 дней назад

Kenny, I wish so badly you would just let these conversations run as long as needed and break them up into 2 parts if needed but let these stories come out! No disrespect to your talking head but let these guys talk till the cows come home as far as I’m concerned🏁

If I was mark I would not even answer Kenny!!!!!! He can’t take up peoples time and just cut them short and think they want to come back on there!!! Man wants to talk Kenny’s jumping all over the place like he’s got somthing else better to do. Kenny’s just like he said he a rude @$$

@jeffrichson7246 13 дней назад

Have a new found respect for Mark Richards! I am a huge fan of Hudson O'Neal and I was upset after what went down. Big time dirt racing today is a big deal. Lots of money,exposure,and pressure. Mark explained it all perfectly. Thanks Kenny!

@EW-zv2pk 12 дней назад

No doubt. I was a huge Brandon fan… but this shows mark in a whole new light for sure

@cjspencer1998 12 дней назад

@@baboracus I was referring to the fact that while everyone knows who Mark Richards is, very few of us have heard even a portion of those stories.

@JTB75 9 дней назад

I wish Kenny would have let this interview go longer because Mark Richard’s has so many amazing stories to tell and he was actually letting fly, you don’t see that side of him ever and it was really great to see.

@blakedarst9053 12 дней назад

I agree so much with the no local heroes anymore, I'm a huge fan of dirt late models but in our area of Southern Ohio, Eastern Kentucky, West Virginia, we've lost the Jack or Jackie Boggs, Eddie Carrier Sr. and Jr, Delmas Conley, Josh McGuire, Steve Casebolt, etc. I'm guilty of this myself because I've quit going to our local shows to follow the crown jewels. I used to never miss a local weekend but now I'll catch myself watching Flo instead.

@ToddsterSaw 12 дней назад

@danamcintyre3565 12 дней назад

Kenny I know Mark and Steve I raced at their track for over ten years, Mark always came across to me as different because I never had the chance to talk to Mark other then at the shop or track, Steve I have known for years also but in a different way, they both have great mentalities and have been very successful and I would say that they both would be willing to help you regardless if they known you or not if you needed it ! Can't wait to hear part two of this ?

@anthonyjohnson7870 12 дней назад

@chuckielepsch612 12 дней назад

PART 2 NEEDED ! Thank you, Kenny for such a wonderful, insightful interview. I have one of Mark’s cars, but I’ve never been able to speak with him yet. Steve Baker has been so nice to any of us who have ever done business there and those guys run a top notch operation. I gained a newfound respect for Mark from this interview ! THANK YOU

Best interview yet, I could have listened to Mark tell stories all night!!!! A part two would be awesome with no time limit in place. This is the history of the sport and one day when people like this are gone so are their stories so I’d love to hear as much of their story as possible.

Tap the brakes Kenny. We all follow you and enjoy your podcasts. But listening to Mark telling past stories were bringing tears to my eyes. I grew up 10 years before Mark and remember the names of his past buddies. I could listen to his stories for hours.

Great interview & excellent guest, I enjoyed the insight on what it takes to race at that level.

@jimparker7778 13 дней назад

I remember back when I got all my racing news from subscriptions to Circle Track magazine and a full color glossy called Open Wheel. There was almost no racing on TV unless you had satellite or cable TV. If you wanted to be more up to date than that, you heard it in the pits at your local race tracks. I grew up going to those St Louis-area race tracks like Lake Hill Speedway and Tri-City Speedway. Dirt track fun.

@billbolar9631 11 дней назад

Schrader used to come there back when he was in his nascar heyday and start in the back in a Rocket and win. lol

I was at the valley 8/15/2005 for Josh’s first win. It was awesome. Unfortunately for him, a WAY bigger first win came for local racer Mike King later that night. Getting his first big block modified win after 33 years of racing. It’s the only win the locals remember from that night

Kenny in reguards to streaming we live south of Tucson Az if not for the streaming I couldn't see any dirt racing it's 5-6 hrs to the closest dirt late model or modified track. Streaming works for us in our situation. I watch all of your podcast as well as Jason Fegars. Also the races on flo it's not the same as being there but it's the only option for us. Thanks for the podcast and all of the interviews

@BigWood3131 10 дней назад

Great interview it reminds me when Mark started selling chassis and looking for dealers in 1993-1994 when he was able to spend Alot of time with his dealers on educating driver's which Mark Bush from Afco came along and they started the Racewise suspension and driving school around 1995-1996. I would of like to hear about his and Bakers driving which a stuck throttle ended Mark's driving career

I'm 55 years old living Central Northern Ohio sprint cars have been my passion my dirt Sprint cars and I started watching these dirt late models and now they have just fascinating me I'm trying to figure them out I'm helping someone out locally and they are and attraction at these tracks now but the tracks aren't paying now like you said to go beat up a car for a thousand of win on a weekly show at your local track when you have a 100 plus $1,000 car doesn't make sense but I love being involved in trying to figure these beasts out and yes we do run a rocket chassis

@Mark-um7ey 10 дней назад

Lol yeah I remember a reporter asking Roger Penske how you win a million dollars in racing...he responded to make a million you must spend several more. Was an article in the 80's about winning a million dollars in Indy car racing and was a huge accomplishment for the time, now you can't buy a charter for 20x that 😢
