    I checked in once in awhile to see the places but didn't see a lot of it. Feeling pretty decent today so I worked outside most of the day....at a slow pace. Thanks Garrett. 

    I am glad that you are starting to feel better. I hope you continue to do so. So hard to stay inside when it's nice out. You are welcome. :)

  2. Well Sunday seems to be my new grocery shopping day for some reason. So I missed the race. Again. What a failure I am. Michael McDowell won the pole. Kyle Larson got penalized for an qualification inspection infraction. His car chief got ejected as well. He had to start the race with a drive through penalty. He did get his lap back due to being the only car a lap down.  In the end, Tyler Riddick won the race.

    Chase Elliott finished 15th...

    Sadly, probably will be. Which is why I don't like the restrictor plate racing. I'd rather watch racing the wrecks. 

    I say that, but one year NASCAR made changes to the restrictor plates and it was a pretty boring race. Tony Stewart even was pretending to sleep through it. Hopefully there is a happy medium. LOL.

    Just a warning: Occasionally I have predictions that don't come true. Adjust your expectations accordingly. 

    LOL . . . well this better not be one of those times. You now got my hopes higher than the sky!

    Though we are racing at Talladega this weekend. He'll have to avoid "the big one"  in order to win. ;) But you said, he's going to win the rest of the year. By golly...he has to win the rest of the year. LOL.

    With NBC losing 10 NASCAR cup series races for 2025 they are dropping the final 8 Xfinity races this year and CW will air them instead 

    https://sports.yahoo.com/cw-network-exclusively-broadcast-final-143216337.html

    The 2025 TV deal will make it harder to watch some of the races. Fox will get the first 14 races the next 5 will only be on Amazon Prime streaming, the other 5 will be on TNT or Max streaming service but only if you subscribe to the premium sports package on Max. The final 14 races will be on NBC.

    Well that sounds pretty bogus. I have Prime so I guess I have five races I can watch. Fox is iffy. SO some of them. Then again, I haven't done the best at watching them this year. But still...

    You definitely would have, they did 3 or 4 gwc's and Chase's team were telling him to shut the engine off as much as possible as they didn't think he'd have enough to get around the track for one more gwc. It ended under caution so he coasted the last half lap. 

    That gives me a heart attack just reading it...it would drive me crazy watching it. So nerve wracking. At least he pulled it off, but that's cutting it too close for me.

    Garrett your boy Chase finally put it in victory lane today in Texas :tup:

    I've never liked Denny, heck his first season he about ran thru Kyle Petty in practice. 

    You beat me to it, Spike! I am so excited that Chase finally found himself in Victory Lane. He has been getting closer and closer this year. And here we are. I hope that this means that more is to come. Ironic enough, an online NASCAR fan was telling me the other day that I should switch to William Byron since the reason I went with Elliott was because he went to the 24 car first (Jeff Gordon's original number). Have to say it was tempting because Byron is the 24 driver, drives for Hendrick, and has been doing great last year and this year. But being the Cubs fan that I am...am loyal to the end. So Byron will be my second favorite. Sadly I missed his win as I went grocery shopping instead because I was too lazy to go yesterday. Though if I did watch it today, I'd probably have an heart attack up to the white flag! LOL. I am just so excited...must mean it's going to be a great week. LOL.

    I was never a Denny Hamlin fan either, because he did show aggressive driving even in his first season in NASCAR and it hasn't changed. Then him wrecking Elliott all that he did, carved it in stone. LOL.

    No better today. I hope it's only a 3 day thing like most of my colds. Congrats on paying it off Garrett. Be careful jumping over those creeks though. Most mechanics aren't as cheap as Cooter.

    Let me know if Doc Appleby is in need of a butt kicking! Maybe you should try some of my finest after all...lol! 

     And yes, Garrett....congratulations on your success!! You just keep on keepin' on! :) 

    Thank you for the congratulations, but I still have a year of car payments left unless I find money laying around. I wish I could just pay it off and be done with it (the payments. Not the car.. I love my car. LOL) .

    Congratulations Hobie on being able to do that with your house. That is a lot of work and it had paid off. Great planning and that had to have felt good.

    Get feeling better, Roger. Colds are not fun!
