Garrett Duke

That is a good question. There is a couple tracks that are road races where they do turn right as well as left, so maybe they learned something from them when they were on the circuit. Though I am not sure if they did them back then or if that's a newish type thing. But maybe there is more than just the turns that they took from the track as every track has it's own "personality" so to say so maybe they were adding them to their track. Or maybe it was just something to push the plot line along...LOL.

Chicago Cubs

Oh OK. I wasn't sure what you were referring to. It was cool that William Byron was able to win the Daytona 500 back to back. I heard Rick Hendrick took the winning car back to Charlotte. It's tradition to keeping the winning Daytona 500 at Daytona until the next Daytona 500.

No. 19 JGR team levied L2-level penalty after Daytona | NASCAR Chase Briscoe got L2-level penalty for his car. He got docked 100 points and 10 playoff points and his crew chief was suspended 4 weeks and car owner Joe Gibbs got fined $100,000 and 100 owner points.

Thanks Hoss. Hope it gets here soon for you. Baseball starts soon after that too! (Oh yeah and spring starts here too...I'm so over winter!)

Thank you Roger. I am always excited to see the 24 in victory lane. Chase Elliott is my favorite current driver, but William Byron is a very close second. I miss when Chase Elliott was in the 24 car, but the 9 car is definitely his car number as deserved to be.

What did I miss that was so horrible about it other than Joey Logano wrecking Chase Elliott at the end? I missed it due to being out and my antennae not working, but I think I fixed it. We will see next Sunday. But I think it's amazing that the 24 car is back in Victory Lane for the second year in a row. It was great to see Jeff Gordon celebrating at the end too. Though he wasn't too happy with Joey Logano's move that wrecked the 9 car. (Either am I...) Though I am excited with Jimmie Johnson's third place finish...

Am surprised and saddened not to see William Byron first. He is second by one point. LOL

Race

That would have been interesting to see, Spike! Today is the day I...I mean we have been waiting for the. The Super Bowl of NASCAR. The Daytona 500! Sadly I won't be able to watch it (even if my TV would pick it up), but I will be following it on my phone. The race will be at 1:30 ET on FOX. The race is set earlier than before as they are predicting rain (go figure. There's a race and there's a chance for rain).

I am glad you like your car. I'm all Hendrick which is Chevys.

That is such a hard question for Daytona. Daytona and Talladega are so unpredictable and anyone has a chance to win if you can avoid the big one. I really hope Chase Elliott will win, but I'll go with William Byron (he won last year) or Brad Keselowski.

The real Super Bowl is in one more week! Woo hoo!!!!

Yeah I saw that too. That is sad to see her pass away. Though she lived a long life. I hope the Cubs have an amazing year. Your Pirates can come in second. LOL

Yeah they are pretty sad. They got a new coach, so hopefully next season will be better.

Thank you for the smile, Roger. That would make for a PERFECT 2025! My NASCAR and baseball withdrawals are through the roof right now! Sunday night showed a little hope. The 16th will bring some light. But my true happiness won't settle until baseball starts back up. Then I'll have them both! I hope Sunday night's race is what NASCAR 2025 season will look like. . .I'd be excited for sure! (In other words, not be like my Chicago Bears where they can win every pre season game that doesn't matter but once the season starts, forget how to play as a team and lose majority of the games. So sad and yet so true!) I just hope I can watch some of it...but I am not holding my breath. But Chase seemed to do good without me, so maybe that'll be on his side. Now to get my fantasy NASCAR and baseball into shape!
