Garrett Duke

Y'all beat me again with reporting NASCAR news. But I did find this video:

Feeling the freedom of no one in view, Garrett allows his car to slow a bit to give the powerful engine a rest a bit while resting back into his leather seat. He finally glances into his rear view mirror and his heart skips a beat as he sees Jesse's vehicle come across the curve and into view. Sitting up in his seat he presses the accelerator down forcefully the car jolts forward with increase speed. "Eat my dirt, Jesse," he says aloud with a confident smile.

You really don't

Watching the vehicles behind begin to edge and fight one another, Garrett eyes the open road ahead of him. Though knows anything can happen at any time...

I missed that, but that is chilling. Probably something everyone should consider about life.

Keeping his attention on the race, Garrett refuses to fall into everyone's competitive talk and pushes the pedal down farther and a hint of a smile crosses his face at feeling the great power of the engine. Passing Jesse, he gives him a slight respectful nod, before speeding up front. (Sorry y'all I've been away from my computer a bit.)

Kyle Busch, two time Cup champ, dies at age 41 | NASCAR OK y'all...I'll be real honest here, but I have never been a Kyle Busch fan. But this really stinks and hurts. So hard to believe that he's gone. I've been in disbelief since I heard about his passing. Despite how I or anyone felt about him, he did have a personality that seemed like he'd be here forever. I know I saw a couple of weeks ago that he had called for medical assistance after the May 10th race. I read last night it was for sinus problems. Didn't think much of it until I saw of his passing yesterday. I really don't know what to say about all of this. Just that it's hard to believe and to accept. So sad for his family, fans, NASCAR...

That's awesome! I am glad your Chase had a better race.

I sure hope so! Though Sunday's race doesn't give me much hope for my own. HA (Elliott finished 24th this past Sunday...)

Garrett shakes his head behind the wheel as he hears of everyone's plans and bragging. He had spent all year bettering Spittin' Cobra and while everyone is planning on ways of cheating to win, he knows he will win by his expert mechanical and driving skills. He is happy with everyone's false sense of confidence as he already feels win number two in his steady hands.

I missed it...but my Chase Elliott did win it and I was and still am excited about it. He's a great road racer so I am hoping he'll go for two in a row!

This is why Daytona and Talladega isn't a favorite to me. It's all about the big one and all the accidents. I am glad no one got hurt in the accidents, though.

Thank you Hobie and Roger. That all means a lot to me.

I am sorry you missed the pro bike race. Glad you missed the rain though.
