Garrett Duke

Though Jimmie Johnson is my second favorite driver, my all time favorite driver is Jeff Gordon and he needs to win more than Jimmie Johnson does!

Everyone better run for the mountains!

Darn rigt I'm depressed about having no race to watch this weekend. Without the race to watch, I'm bound to create some trouble since I now have nothing better to do.

Bo 37 Luke 42 Jesse 23

Exacly what I wanted to do. Be the first person in Hazzard history to cross both lines at the same time. Ain't I talented?

Ooooh good idea, Roger. Sadly, I haven't seen an Duke ep in a loooonnnnnnnnnggggggggg time. So I could get some racing in and the Dukes all at the same time. NOw if only I can remember to do it...lol.

Great. The radio is now broken. I know any logical and reasonable radio would never say such a rediculious thing as that! Though Roger, am confused. Did I cross over the line to stupidity or bravery?

David Reutimann drives the 00 car and he races for Michael Waltrip (Darrell Waltrip's younger brother.). If you seen that Toyota commercial with Denny Hamilin with the boy making a love car for NASCAR...David Reutimann at the end of the commercial is the one that says "I love love." Don't know if that helps you any...LOL This is his second win and he normally runs mid pack which is probably why you don't know who he is that well. I am going to be soooo lost this weekend without a race to watch, don't know what I'm going to do. I can't believe NASCAR would take a week off like this...that they would do this to me! What'm I suppose to do now? Oh well at least it is only a week (though it'll seem a lot longer than that, I assure you.) instead of three months like the off season. Hopefully I can find a Cubs game to watch to replace the race, but still not the same. You skipping out on the races until the chase, Roger? You're going to miss out on Indianappolis in two weeks? Think of all the excitement you are missing out. Guess that's only seven races your missing out on, but you know what they say? You miss a lap, you miss all the excitement. (Ok it goes something like that, can't think of it exactly.) Ah not to worry, I'll be more than glad to keep y'all up to date on the races. (Sorry to give you a hard time, Roger...had to do it. Please don't be mad at me. ) TXDaisy - I never noticed the initials before seeing the article heading that stated that. I wonder if Jimmie had that planned or if it is just coincidence. Guess the article states that Jimmie said it was coincidence...Thanks for letting me know about the photo! She is a cutie! I wonder if Jimmie will do what Jeff does with Ella (and hopefully his son when he is born...) where he keeps a photo album online on his site of pictures of Ella (his 3 year old daughter). Would be neat if Jimmie would do the same with Genevieve...though would understand why if he doesn't. Just would be neat if he did... You are welcome...thank you for allowing me to give my NASCAR reports. NASCAR is one of the very few things I know about so I enjoy talking/watching it and so forth.

Unless I want to be disrespected and kicked around I have to stick up for myself whether it be Roger or anyone else. Besides, Jami, by now, Roger has to know me well enough to know that I'm only giving him a hard time.

Well Jimmie Johnson and his wife, Chandra, have now given their baby girl another name, other than Baby J that they've been calling her. Their daughter's name is: Genevieve Marie Johnson. Which is a pretty name and unique. Am looking forward to see pictures...has to be a cute little girl. Wish Jimmie and Chandra congratulations on their little bundle of joy. Sure Jimmie is glad for a week off to catch up on sleep (hopefully, though unlikely. ) and to be with his girls as much as possible.

Yes, I do respect my elders, Roger...when the elders respect me. You see...I treat others the way they tret me. With that said, allow me to give you my condolences then, since I have now given them dang goats Uncle Jesse's freshly made stew to leave Roger to eat the rotten celery and carrots that were left out for the goats to eat.

Well the ChicagoLand race has just finished and have to say that it was kind of an up and down race for me. Up because Gordon scored his nineth top five finish of the season by finishing third and down because Johnson finished I think 25th after getting spun out earlier on in the race. Not a whole lot of excitement with wrecks or anything like that...think they only had three cautions and one was for debri (which was on the apron of the track, so don't know why they had to throw a caution for that...). Anyway, Johnson had the most dominant car out there at the beginning of the race, he took the lead of the race right away and led a lot of laps. Then, he missed pit road which slowed him down and gave the lead back to Jamie McMurray who won pole of the race. After a caution, Martin Truex Jr. got too close to Jimmie Johnson to spin Jimmie out. Jimmie got control and was able to stay on the lead lap only to run into the wall a couple of times and then later on had tire problems. Points leader Kevin Harvick had a rough race and had to go to the garage for sixteen laps as they attempted to fix something to deal with the gas. The other accident was when Bill Elliot spun to hit the wall, Robbie Gordon who was trying to avoid him, ended up locking his tires and running into Elliot, which got them both airborne for a second. A pretty hard hit to both of them. Gordon raced up to lead a few laps of the race, but was raced down by David Reutimann and later passed by Carl Edwards. David Reutimann...who drives for Michael Waltrip...won his second race of his career. His first win came last year at Charolette at a rain shortened race. Here is the top ten finishes: 1. David Reutimann 2. Carl Edwards 3. Jeff Gordon 4. Clint Bowyer 5. Jamie McMurray 6. Kasey Kahne 7. Jeff Burton 8. Denny Hamlin 9. Tony Stewart 10. Paul Menard Here is the unofficial standings: 1. Kevin Harvick 2. Jeff Gordon (-103) 3. Jimmie Johnson 4. Denny Hamlin 5. Kurt Busch 6. Kyle Busch 7. Jeff Burton 8. Matt Kenseth 9. Tony Stewart 10. Carl Edwards 11. Greg Biffle 12. Clint Bowyer 13. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (-15) Well, sadly to say, there is no race next week - they get next week off. Though I am sure they all are ready for a break (especially Johnson with his new daughter), but don't know if I'm ready for one. LOL. Guess I'll get one whether I like it or not. Indianapolis will be the next race which will NOT be on TNT...the races will now be broadcasted on ESPN until the start of the chase of which the races will be on ABC (so everyone w/out cable can start watching them again.) I like Kyle Petty and Larry McReynolds who are on TNT. The other broadcasters are OK (all that is my opinion.) But am glad to see the change in broadcasting. Perhaps I am just imagining things here, but to me, on TNT, it seems to be more commercials than there is the race. Which is very frustrating to me. On Fox, they had way less commercials than TNT and am hoping that ESPN will not have as many commericals as TNT seem to have. (Personally, I wish the races would just stay on FOX. I just like their coverage and announcers better than the others. Though doubt that will happen. Once more, all of my own sorry opinion. ) Anyone else get to watch the race tonight? If so, what you think? Good to see the under dogs win every once in awhile like David Reutimann. Carl Edwards got his highest finish at second tonight...his second top five of the season. Gordon gained on Harvick, though still remains winless of the season - wins he needs to win the championship. And Bowyer is looking strong so far as well. McMurray has gotten his fifth top five finish of the year (last year he only scored one top five!) which is great. Kyle Busch who won the Nationwide Series race last night finished seventeen and wasn't really mentioned at all during the race due to being towards the back as was his brother who was at least a lap down at the end of the race. Now we have seven races left until the chase starts. . .

Makes me wonder how legit your rules that you seem to go by, Roger. Not that they matter anyway, I play by my own rules, so don't expect me to follow that outragious rule you just stated.

Bo 34 Luke 37 Jesse 28 Cooter 1

Don't think I think badly of you Jami, as I said, you seem too nice to be as bad as your uncle. As far as Roger goes, I really hope he can handle a little teasing back in return.

Bo 32 Luke 36 Jesse 29 Cooter 3 (Well thanks for accepting me back! Roger - And yeah I did say that I was helping Bo out, but I didn't mean to give Cooter a point as well. Don't know how that happened, must have hit a wrong button or something. Anyway, sorry about that. Thanks for correcting me, Roger!

Total disrespect is what I seem to get on this thread. So I miss one little letter and I am instantly bad? But to answer your question, Jami, you seem too nice to be as bad as your uncle, but are you?

Thanks Roger! Well I actually do have some NASCAR news today...some may consider this good and others will consider it bad. LOL. Jimmie Johnson's wife, Chandra, gave birth to a baby girl on Wednesday (mom and baby are doing fine). She was due on Saturday when Jimmie is suppose to be driving at ChicagoLand and if she gave birth on Saturday he would have had Aric Amerilo (Sp? LOL) drive for him. But since she was born on Wednesday, Jimmie will be racing on Saturday. They have yet to either put out a name or pick out a name, don't know which. If they come out with it, I'll let y'all know. I am looking forward to seeing pictures as well as to learn her name! They are saying there is a baby boom in NASCAR this year. Elliot Sadler and Carl Edwards' wives gave births to their first child (Sadler - a boy, Wyatt. Edwards - a girl -Anne). Now Johnson's wife gave birth to their first child. Ingrid - Gordon's wife, and Montoya's wife is due in August (Gordon's second child - suppose to be a boy - and Montoya's third child), and Jamie McMurray's wife is expecting their first child later this year as well. I for one am glad and excited for Johnson...one that he is now a father. He will make a great dad I am sure. Plus glad to see that he will be racing on Saturday night. I am sure Aric would do a decent job in the 48 car, but it would just be wrong to see someone other than Johnson driving it. I am highly hoping that Ingrid will give birth during the week as well so that Gordon will be as lucky to be drive every race this year. Know in '07 he had Mark Martin on reserve for when Ella was born, but I think she was born on a wed or thursday as well and he weas able to race. So hopefully he can have the same luck twice - to have a healthy and happy child and be able to race. It would be even more wrong to see anyone other than Gordon drive his 24 car! Can't be more exciting than this...new babies and NASCAR! (Sorry, had to say it since I do work at a day care! LOL)
