Garrett Duke

Hope everything is OK with you. . .Also hope I didn't bore you to death with all my other posts! As I told you, once I start talking NASCAR, I can't stop.

Just read an article on NASCR.com about Dega's race...NASCAR didn't appreciate the ESPN's announcers criticizing their decisions before the race and what not - about bump drafting not being aloud and will be punished. Found it ironic that they just posting that now, about a month later. LOL. I think what they had a problem with was how much the complained about the single file racing and their choice.

You forget about me? Or are you just ignoring me? LOL. (Just joking) How are you?

Hi Roger...I had a question about an episode and instantly thought of you. It is probably one that I could look up myself by watching the episode, but feel too lazy to do it at the moment (plus would interrupt my writing for my xmas story) so I thought I'd ask you. Swamp Molly...how is she related to Jesse and the rest of the Dukes? As well as Alice...I know they call her Cousin ALice so I assume she is a cousin. Also how is Alice related to Molly?

Maybe they don't really say in the episode and if not, you probably wouldn't know, but thought I'd at least ask and see what you know about them. Thanks!

Enjoyed Gorodon's speech, of course and seeing him. Found it also funny that Jeff Hammond was stating the kind of dresses the wives were wearing before the show kicked off. I think it was either Steve Byrnes or Mike Meyers that made the statement on h ow Jeff usually states car parts not the kinds of dresses and so forth. (It was great seeing Hammond!) Seeing Hendrick in tears made me feel for him - he is such a great man and highly adored by all, but has gone through some rough times along the way. Jimmie did a great job on his speech as well. Now the official countdown has began...they stated I think nine or eight weeks until Daytona. That is a long time without a race or anything Gordon and Johnson to follow.

Did you watch the award show? If so, what you think of it? I thought it was interesting. Mark Martin was nervous you could tell but he gave a nice and long speech. LOL. I think t hey all gave good speeches and all that. I think they could have done better without the comedian that they had, but my opinion of course. Disliked his segment as Dr. Phil the most. Felt bad for Michael Waltrip for what he said as Dr. Phil as well as others. Found it funny that three or so of the drivers commented that Jimmie should retire after this year. I think Hamlin started it by stating him good luck on his retirement. LOL.

Well I semi-lied to you...sorry. LOL. After posting that last message Friday night I had only one minute to the awards to start my time. I had other stuff that still needed to be done. So I watched the first hour a little interrupted. Then I switched over to Numb3rs and then after that was over, switched back to the award show. I still have the awards on tape since I had continued running it because I was uncertian if I would watch to the end, which luckily, I did. I say luckily, I went by what Tvguide.com had said it would end, added a few minutes afterwards and t hen had it stop recording. When the recording buzzed off, Jimmie Johnson was just getting up to talk at the end of the show. I missed B & D so I will have to rewind the tape to see them...don't know what else I missed in that hour, but they were getting to the drivers when I turned it back on. I think they were at the number 9 placed driver.

Hi Roger...thanks for dropping by and leaving me a message. I am sorry that I missed you. I had a pretty good Thanksgiving, ate too much, but what else is new? How about you? I hope you had a good Thanksgiving and that you'll have a GREAT Christmas season.
