Garrett Duke

Well there's more tragedy to hit NASCAR or at least a NASCAR driver. Denny Hamlin's parents' house caught on fire. His dad died and his mom was injured in the fire. Dennis Hamlin, father of racer Denny Hamlin, dies in house fire | NASCAR

Thank you Hobie :). It's good to see you too.

Thank you, Hobie. it feels good to be back.

Thank you Hoss. Yeah I would too .

I heard and read about Greg Biffle the day it happened. I am still in disbelief and my heart breaks for him, his family involved, and their friends and family that is left behind. I can't imagine losing a whole family like that. It's sad no matter who is involved, but NASCAR did lose a good guy with Greg Biffle. He was one of my favorite non-Hendrick drivers at the time he was racing - back in the good ol' days of Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson. Plus, a dog lover... My Youtube has been pulling on the heart strings as they've been giving me Greg Biffle videos after it all happened. Including one where he was picking up his kids in his old Cadillac to pick up a Christmas tree and this video that I will share with you where he references Dukes of Hazzard: On a side note, Daytona is in 49 more days!!!!!

Hi y'all. Not much going on here lately. Sorry to have been silent for so long. I've been just hanging low lately. I started a new job at the end of August. It's going well, but it's been hard to go with change. I like the new job, though it has a financial drawback to it and I've been struggling a bit emotionally with it. I just wanted to drop a hi and a late Merry Christmas to y'all. Hope all is well with you all.

Garrett laughs and yells in excitement as he is carried into the Boar's Nest where they are greeted by Daisy with pitchers of beer and beer glasses where Garrett hops down and helps her pour the drinks and pass them around to everyone. Raising his glass, he says, "What an action packed and exciting race. Until next year!" he raises his glass, "Cheers to the best competition in the south!"

The farm vehicle or the musical group? LOL

Um...you can't be in Chicago and NOT see my Cubbies or Bears

I hope that your surgery will go well and that you will recover well afterwards.

That is no fun. I hope you are starting to feel better.

Garrett watches back from afar at everyone's emotions. "Well y'all," he finally says looking back at his car and back at them, "once I get this tire fixed, I'm off to The Boar's Nest. First round is on me if anyone wants to join." With that, he turns around and walks back to his car where he pulls out a spare tire and his equipment out from the trunk.
