“Find a Sugar Daddy” – Kenny Wallace Puts Small-Time Driver in His Place for Cribbing About Money

NASCAR veteran driver Kenny Wallace recently dropped a truth bomb. In a candid YouTube video titled “Money Is The Root Of All Evil,” Wallace took a no-holds-barred approach. He addressed the issue of small-time racers using financial constraints as a convenient excuse.

Wallace didn’t mince words as he tackled head-on the prevalent issue of aspiring racers blaming their financial limitations for not pursuing their racing dreams. In a direct address to Treb Jacoby, a dirt-modified racer from Missouri, Wallace posed a straightforward question: “How bad do you want it, Treb?”

Wallace’s YouTube video served as a platform to dismantle the mindset that money is the sole barrier to entry into the world of racing. The video kicks off with Wallace’s characteristic candor, calling out Jacoby for being more of a talker than a doer. Wallace, who knows the ins and outs of the racing world, emphasized that the issue at hand goes beyond financial constraints; it’s about mindset.

“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.”

Wallace didn’t shy away from sharing his own choices. He admitted that he doesn’t run a super late model because it’s simply too expensive for him. The blunt reality check came with his advice to those aspiring to race at the highest level. “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,” he concluded.

Kenny Wallace shares a cautionary anecdote

The crux of his argument lies in the cautionary tale of Drew Dudash. A driver who, like many, faced challenges after transitioning to a higher division. Eventually, Dudash returned to a more affordable division, the Sportsman.

“I watch that happen to Drew Dudash. Drew Dudash, king of compacts,” Wallace noted. “He was the king of compacts. He was a little Jeff Gordon. Won all [of] them races and then he tried to run up to the B-mods, and you know, it didn’t work out so he stopped, and then he went back down and found Sportsman.”
