Garrett Duke

pen

Bowyer said that to a reporter about Gordon in a post race interview.

As Garrett and Roy got to the top of the hill that looks down at still site number four, Garrett and Roy see the two deputies struggling their way down to the bottom where the Dukes and everyone stand. "We gotta hurry," Garrett states, holding the tape and tape player in his hands and motions Roy over by some large trees. "OK Bo and Luke, Ernie and Bill," Deputy Cletus states loudly before seeing Daisy, who is sitting on a log with Jesse hugging her. "What's wrong with her?" "She saw your ugly face and she fainted," Luke rolls his eyes at the deputy. "Now Luke," Deputy Enos states, "that's not too nice." "Well neither are either one of you!" Bo yells, pointing at them, "Bill and Ernie came to race in Hogg's race, to support this community, and this is the respect that you all give them?! It's one thing to be throwing false accusations at Luke and I. But now, y'all have come too far!" Enos and Cletus looks at them as they approach them. "I hear ya loud and clear, Bo," Deputy Enos states sympathetically, "but we are just following orders that we have to follow. The sheriff got evidence that y'all got the money. And. . .and I'm sorry -" "Stop apologizing to criminals," Cletus snaps at Enos. "Bo and Luke Duke. Ernie and Bill Elliott. You all are under arrest for stealing Commissioner Hogg's money and for hiding fugitives!" "You know we and them did no such thing!" Bo yells angrily and takes a step threatenly towards them for Luke to throw his arm in front of his chest to stop him. "We're just following orders," Enos reminds them. "You don't have no evidence any of us did such a thing," Luke chimes in. "Cousin Boss says that don't matter. He will deal with you all at the jail," Cletus responds, "now I need all four of you to turn around and put your hands behind your head. Nice and easy, now." Meanwhile Roy and Garrett quietly get to the bottom un noticed as everyone's attention is upon each other and all that is going on. "What?" Roy whispers as Garrett gives an evil grin and Garrett raises the tape recorder in his hands. Garrett turns the volume way high before pushing play. "What are we doing in these here caves, Boss?" Rosco says loudly through the player and everyone instantly stops and turns towards them. "What you think, numbskull?" Boss' responds over the tape "We are hiding out until Cousin Cletus and Deputy Enos arrest Bill, his crooked crew chief, and the entire Duke clan!" Boss laughs smugly. "I can see it now, Rosco. The headlines will read: NASCAR legend Bill Elliot and his crew chief are behind bars for stealing money from a small local town that was already struggling to survive!" More laughter erupts. "Meanwhile, they will get locked up in Atlanta with the Dukes. Bill and his crew chief will probably get bailed out, but their names will be mud after this. No one will pay to see crooks like them race until they are sentenced for twenty years. The Dukes will be in jail from here on out until they are released in twenty years." More laughter, "Life will be magical, Rosco!" With that Garrett turns the recorder off as they reach everyone at the still site. "Um. . .um Garrett. Roy, " Deputy Enos stutters, "what you got there?" "Rock hard evidence, Deputy, that Bill and Ernie stole no money and Hogg is being his greedy self," Garrett hisses at the deputy who attempts to take it from him only to yank it away from him, "I think you all need to reconsider what you are doing here." Enos and Cletus both look at each other and then at Garrett and Roy. "I . . .I think we need to call this in," Cletus responds walking to the car just as Rosco pulls up besides their patrol car. As Rosco stiffly steps out of the patrol car, Cletus states, "Garrett Duke has Boss and you recorded saying they didn't steal no money." "Does he, now he?" Rosco asks as they walk back to where they are at and Garrett rewinds the tape and replays that part for Rosco. "There's more, but we can save that for later," Garrett dryly responds as he stops the tape. "Bill and Ernie brought y'all money, competition, and a crowd for that race and y'all played them dirty. You can drop the charges now and apologize." "You hush Garrett!" Rosco yells as he eyes everyone suspiciously. "You are under arrest for spying on the sheriff and the commissioner!" "You do you, Rosco," Garrett dryly grins at him as he hands Roy the tape recorder and motions him towards Luke. Roy nods and quickly walks over and hands the tape and recorder to Luke who thanks him. "Turn around, put your hands above your head. You are going back to Atlanta where you belong," Rosco hisses and Garrett cooperates and Rosco tightly handcuffs Garrett's hands behind his back, "You're not getting out of it this time, Duke!" Rosco hisses in his ear before he reads him his rights and shoves him towards his patrol car. Garrett reminds silent as he allows Rosco to shove him in the back before he begins to drive off, sirens wailing.

Thank you for letting me know what happened. I need to get back to watching NASCAR. Perhaps once my class ends. Ugh.

Back when Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer was racing, Bowyer wrecked Gordon several times. He wrecked Gordon at Martinsville during the playoff race and Gordon came back and intentionally wrecked Bowyer. Bowyer ran after Gordon after the race, Bowyer's crew attacked Gordon, luckily Gordon's crew yanked him out in time. During the interview with Bowyer, Bowyer called Gordon that. Gordon got in trouble for it all. That was probably before the whole sensitivity training era.

FOOTBALL!

Um what did Martin Truex Jr say and why? This is the first time I am hearing that he has said anything...see out of the loop I am. Work and school has me preoccupied and missing out. Thank you for the information.

Thank you for the update, Hoss. I hope your driver will have a great race today and that it'll be a fun race to watch.

science (That's way beyond me and my understanding. LOL. I was just thinking of the TV show. HA)

Theory (The Big Bang Theory)

Thank you Spike for covering NASCAR. Sounds like an exciting finish. Though Blaney might think otherwise.

That surprises me about Jr feeling that way. I'd understand if Monday wasn't a holiday calling it after so many laps, but Monday was a holiday. All those people spent a lot of money to see the whole race. Heck the teams spent a lot of money to race the whole race. I'd think NASCAR would want to make it all count. I feel like this is some way to get at Larson for attempting to race the double. IDK. I get it is a business, but it's also about the racing. The teams. The drivers. The fans. NASCAR won't go very far without the fans. Talking about business and money, I had a friend send me this link that is really breaks it down how much it cost to put a car on the track. Stewart-Haas Racing getting out should be a red-flag warning to NASCAR - Augusta Free Press All that seems crazy to me. They didn't mention Hendrick, but I'd love to see how much he puts out for his equipment and all his cars. Hendrick has the best of the best in their cars and teams. I'd also like to know if they get as much money with these younger drivers than with Gordon and Johnson and Jr himself.

I was thinking about that today that they should have just finished the race today. I really don't understand why they didn't. And the fact that it affects Kyle Larson's championship chances due to their choice just to end it, is rather upsetting to me. They better waiver it. Yeah he stayed for the rain delated Indy race, but he's been working and practicing for that for some time now. If they are upset, they should make it a rule that they can't run in both races beforehand. IDK. He made the effort to make the race...NASCAR canceled it.

Well they haven't gotten any of my money so that should tell them something. Oh wait...maybe that's because I don't have any to give them. LOL. I understand all that, but if that's what people want to see then they should watch the demolition derby and wrestling. My opinion of course. HA. They just better keep all the drama away from Elliott and his Hendrick team mates. Thanks for the recap Hoss. That sounds like an exciting race.

All eyes will be on Stenhouse Jr and Kyle Busch tomorrow night. Kyle is probably loving the attention. I mean he starts it and nothing happens to him. Same song, different verse. I hate that NASCAR has become about the fights and wrecks and less about the racing. Even the racing, NASCAR has to have control and their hand in it. It's definitely heading in the wrong direction. Talking about the wrong direction, big change may be coming to teams in NASCAR with charters and all that. It sounds like from what I read earlier (I tried finding the article I read on my phone earlier, but couldn't find them, I think these two are similar to it) is that NASCAR wants to limit charters to teams. Right now each team can have 4 cars if they want or can afford it, but they are looking to downsize that to three cars. Of what I read, is that Joe Gibbs Racing and Rick Hendrick Racing (Chase Elliott's team) may be grandfathered in since they already have four cars. And...Tony Stewart is selling all his charters and leaving NASCAR all together. NASCAR Rumor: Rick Hendrick & Joe Gibbs Bypassing NASCAR’s Wrath Amidst Tony Stewart’s Split Shocks Racing Fandom - EssentiallySports NASCAR Rumor: With SHR's Implosion Imminent, Where Do their Charters Head in the Silly Season? - EssentiallySports Y'all want my two cents worth in all this? Well it's a cold day in you know where when Tony Stewart wants out of the sport all together. I can't imagine NASCAR without Smoke in it. I was never a fan of his when he was racing the 20 car, but did grow to like him better when he drove the 14 and wasn't wrecking everyone and cussing everyone out all the time. But even if he didn't cool his jets, it'd still be hard to imagine NASCAR without him. I am sad to see him go and hope he finds success. And for the charters...they better let Hendrick get grandfathered in. I can't imagine Hendrick without four cars. Well he use to be three car team, until Jeff Gordon talked him into getting Jimmie Johnson to race for them. In turn, Rick Hendrick told Jeff Gordon to put his money where his mouth is. So...Gordon owned half of Jimmie Johnson's car. HA! Well there's my two cents worth whether you wanted it or not...don't go spend it all at the same place. HA! Talking about Hendrick Motorsports...Hendrick driver Kyle Larson will be driving the double tomorrow at the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600. Hope he sleeps well tonight and races great tomorrow! Garage eager to watch Larson attempt Indy, Charlotte double | NASCAR
