Garrett Duke

Happy birthday, Roger. I hope it was the best one yet!

Happy birthday. I am glad you had a good day.

Thank you Roger. OOOooo great save there, Roger. I didn't even thought of that reference. HA. My Rosie is a shih tzu corgi mix. They are so cute and smart. I bet Lulu is cute and sweet too. Dogs are the best!

Well y'all. I got some news. I got a new to me dog on Friday. So far it is working out great, though my older dog is having a rough time adjusting to the new pup. She is slowly getting better and used to him. So I am hopeful it will work out. Last September my sisters and I got my parents two chihuahua and min pin mix pups after their boxer passed away a year and a half ago. They named them Dusty (after George Strait's Pure Country movie) and Dolly (Dolly Parton). Well, a couple of weeks I was talking to them in text about my worry about my Rosie dog (she will be 13 at the end of June) and my dad was quick was to say that I could have Dusty. Which I didn't take him serious at first and when I did felt bad, but he said two dogs were too much for them and the dogs being siblings would do better apart from one another. So last Friday I picked Dusty up to see how he will do at my apartment. So far, so good. My only challenge is my landlady. LOL. I am really hoping it works out. Otherwise, my parents said that he can go back home to them and Dolly. But hopefully it will work out with him at my apartment and my older dog will come around to having him around. I have renamed Dusty to Bandit after Smokey and the Bandit. I was thinking Dukes of Hazzard or Ryno after my favorite baseball player (yes he was a Cubs player...LOL) . My last dog that I lost two and a half years ago was named Rosco. And couldn't find another name I wanted to for him. And Bandit really seems to fit him. So here is Bandit .

Roger this made my entire week. Thank you . I have been lingering around here and there. I wish I was watching too many Cubs games but sadly don't have cable. Just been busy and tired and not sure I have much worthwhile stuff to post. LOL. Hopefully the Cubs continue to win...and hopefully Chase Elliott finds Victory Lane again. It's been too long. . . Thank you, Roger, for your post and the smile.

Denny Hamlin?

Thinking of you. That is hard.

Welcome to Hazzardnet! It's always great to meet a Dukes of Hazzard fan.

Awe sweet. My Rosie (I named her after Rose on the Golden Girls) is shih tzu and corgi mix but is white and black. My mom says I should have called her checkers. HA. I'd love to see Lulu but I understand. Give her a treat for me. (My last dog was Rosco. I miss him...)

I am sorry to hear that you were sick Roger. I hope that you are feeling better. I am not sure the race helped you with that. Talking about Lulu...when do we get to see a picture? Who doesn't like puppy pictures? LOL

Cut

Well they raced at the Duke Boys' home NASCAR track (as well as Chase Elliott's) in Atlanta. The first half was pretty uneventful, but the second half produced more accidents and shuffling of the field. I was able to watch it due to moving stuff away from my antennae, but that probably jinxed Chase Elliott as he got wrecked out as Ricky Stenhouse Jr went up the track and ran him into the wall and in turn took out Brad Keselowski. Elliott was able to stay in the race and finished in the back on the lead lap. Christopher Bell won in overtime after an accident halted the race. Just beating out Kyle Larson and Carson Hocevar.

Ballpark

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.
