I appreciate you updating the standings Garret but could you please put Dale at #1 and Jeff at #2 the next time you do it.

There's good news, bad news and good news in the baseball world. The good news is that the Pirates are in first place. The bad news is that I'm struggling in my fantasy baseball league. The good news is that a certain Cubs fan (namely Garrett Duke) is in first place in our division in our fantasy league. This is an impressive accomplishment considering the league is comprised mostly of folks who make their living in the sports world, including knowledgable sports reporters. Congratulations Garrett!

It's always tough for me to see the country and western singers that I grew up listening to pass on. He sang the saddest song in history (He Stopped Loving Her Today) and now the world just got even sadder. Thanks for this nice tribute Garrett.

Thanks for the update Garrett. I picked Kevin Harvick to win so this is my first victory in fantasy NASCAR. I guess you'd call it a hysterical day.....Um, I mean historical day. It's too bad my other drivers didn't do so good. I didn't even move up in the rankings on Garrett's fantasy league even though I picked the winner. I did have a lot of fun Friday night at the local dirt track though!

I agree completely with the last two posts. There should be punishment but this sounds excessive. I just hope that the Commissioner of my fantasy NASCAR league (a certain Jeff Gordon fan) doesn't fine me for being the worst fantasy NASCAR player on yahoo....and if she does, a hockey fantasy Commissioner who I know personally (a certain Jesse Duke fan) will fine her for having too many Chicago Blackhawks players on her team.

Wow! I didn't know about the Matt Kenseth problem. I'm not a Kenseth fan so it didn't upset me too much but it is shocking. I wonder how the crew chief fine works. Does that 200,000 really come out of his pocket or is it more involved than that? If NASCAR determines that lower level mechanics messed up can they be fined too? I would think that would be really complicated. Everybody would want to point fingers at everybody else but they can't because they have to show team unity. There's usually someone in these cases who "takes one for the team". I agree Garrett. I love night races! Thanks for the updates.

Congratulations to Matt Kenseth for his victory. After a bunch of cautions it was nice to see the last 48 laps be caution flag free.

I'm surprised you're even paying attention to NASCAR Garrett. It looks like you're going to be battling for a first place trophy in fantasy hockey starting tomorrow so I thought you'd be working all day researching players and stats to see what kind of trades you'll be making. LOL just kidding (well, I'm not kidding about you making it to the hockey championship....but I am joking about you liking hockey more than NASCAR) Good luck in both.

K-Duke, I wouldn't mind if you did describe my Pirates as "bad". LOL They've had a losing record for 20 straight years, the longest, not just in baseball, but in all of the big league American sports. They've certainly earned the description "bad". I've followed them since the late 60s and will be a fan as long as I'm alive but I'm also realistic. It's fun that you, Garrett and I have favorite teams that are in the same division. It will give us a lot to talk about here on the bb thread.

You're right Garrett. The season is young. I'd be shocked if the Reds don't have a great year. Right now they're having some injury problems but it's better to have those early in the season than late.

If you double check you'll find that it wasn't the position of "County Commissioner" that Boss lost. It was a different title. I can't remember exactly what it was called but since it's never mentioned again in the series we can assume Boss either got it back or abolished it and just took over the duties that the position entailed.

You're absolutely right Garrett. Hopefully what they'll learn from this guy will help prevent future tragedies. If lives are saved from it, it will be worth the financial cost. Paying for his incarceration is one thing but I hope he pleads guilty because if there's dozens of appeals over the decades, the security costs alone will be astronomical. And I should remind myself, he is innocent until proven guilty.

It's going to be interesting to see how well Clint does. There's always a lot of pressure when you're trying to please the home crowd. I was looking forward to going to the dirt track and watch the local NASCAR wannabees tonight but it rained too much earlier in the day and it was canceled due to track conditions.

What I don't understand is why the 19 year old who was just arrested is entitled to 80+ years of better food and health care than people get who have never even had a speeding ticket. (and can't afford to pay speeding tickets anyways because their taxes keep going up to support guys like him) Oh well, I'd better be careful. The moderators don't like political talk here. Now, that's a policy I DO understand.

Happy birthday Coy. We'll all meet at the Boar's Nest this weekend to celebrate. Better late than never!

Welcome to the HazzardNet Adam! It's always nice to see a genuine resident of the great state of Georgia ride into town. You're gonna love it here!

I have to agree. My second grandson is four and will play his first year of T-ball starting in early May. I'd much rather watch that than the major leagues, even if it was a game where my Pirates beat Garrett's Cubs.

Thanks as always for the summary. I watched a lot of the race and felt terrible for you Garrett when Jeff had his problem after doing so well. Hang in there buddy. The season's just getting started. There sure was a lot of lead changes. I'm not sure what the average is for total number of lap leaders in a race but I bet this was way above average. Do you remember how many different drivers led at least one lap? It sounds like the crew chiefs are going to have quite a challenge in Kansas.
