When you are a NASCAR driver, and you try to go race these guys on a local level, they do not like it.
Kenny Wallace said via ‘Herm & Schrader” show via YouTube.
Seeing animosity, after being one of the favorite drivers in the regional level for many years in his junior years really hurt him. He admitted that he felt really bad about the hate he received over the years.
When I came back here, they hated me. And it was a shocking blow to me. It hurt me. It really did.
Kenny Wallace added.
Kenny Wallace is loved more than ever by the local racing community
But nowadays after his retirement, things have changed. He is getting more love and respect than he ever did from the community. He earned his way up, working on his car by himself building everything and making connections. Wallace is enjoying the special moments now more than ever.
Now, I’m not crying. I’m telling you why I work on my stuff myself. And now, all of a sudden, when I show up at the racetrack by myself, they finally see that I am a racecar driver.
Kenny Wallace said.
The comments from Kenny Wallace shows how much he has changed over the years as a person and how much the people around him have changed as well. He has a lot left to offer for the local racing community in the coming years and it would be interesting to see how everything would playout.
