After all the corn dogs were quickly wolfed down and Jesse started to walk away, Bill called him over, talking loudly over the engine noise. Bill still didn't have his helmet on but he knew the race wouldn't start until he was ready.
"I just want to thank you Mr. Duke for your hospitality....and for your friendship. You and your family are a classic example of Southern hospitality and I'm honored to meet you all."
They smiled at each other and shook hands. Then Jesse's face turned serious, even a bit angry looking, even though he was faking it. "Don't get too used to it because in a few minutes we won't be friends. I will be cheering for the General Lee to beat you by a country mile." They both then smiled.
"Mr. Duke, I know this is a strange time to ask but why did you never have kids of your own?"
Jesse laughed "Well, Lavinia and I just decided that chasing those 3 around was more than enough. All 3 were a handful, especially Bo. Lavinia even nicknamed him Chase since she spent so much time chasing him around and watching him chase stuff around."
Bill laughed "Chase? Strange nickname but I kinda like it! Now if you excuse me sir I have a race to win."
Jesse laughed. "Ha! I should call you Chase since you are going to be the one chasing the General all race and eating his dust."
Bill returned the laugh and as he was putting his helmet on responded "We shall see sir. We shall see."
