Garrett Duke

Joey Lagono was very lucky to be able to walk out from that horrible accident he was in! He had me scared adn holding onto my breath while waiting for him to climb out of the car! It gave me goosebumps. The drivers and everyone is soooo very lucky that NASCAR has all the safety equipment that they do to protect everyone like that.

It was a good race. Am happy for Johnson that he got the win, but I still think it is time for Gordon to get another win. He's got two wins at Kansas where they are racing at next week (the only driver with multiple wins there) so maybe he'll get a third. I can only hope, huh?

Well there was my two cents worth on the race, am looking forward to see what you thought of the race.

Guess who? LOL. Well the race has just gotten over. What ya think? Good ol' Jimmie won the race with your Martin right behind him...dang ten points still head of Jimmie. LOL. Though I was really wishin' that when Gordon was in second that Jimmie would at least let him pass for a lap to get an extra five points and all. ERRR Where's the teamship in that that they were talking about before the race? LOL Anyway. Gordon finished sixth which is better than what I thought he was going to get after Newman bumped him like he did. I know it wasn't on purpose, but still...this is the third week in a row that Gordon has been bumped like that! Very frustrating. Oh well, Gordon seemed to rebound to get a decent finish - even though I was wishing for at least a top five. He missed it by one position so I guess I won't complain too much. He is now eigthth in points overall though still over a hundred points behind Martin.

That is the basic information. I figured I'd give you that first and see if you have any questions and so forth. It would be easier if I could show and explain the race to you, so I am hoping I am making at least a little bit sense to you. Know it took me a long time to really understand it (Don't let that slow you down though, it takes me awhile sometimes to really understand anything).

You are very welcome. I am glad that you joined!

Well Texas Daisy NASCAR is something I actually feel like I know...but where to start? LOL. There is 43 drivers at the start of the race, but generally by the end there are drivers that are in the garage area and out of the race. They qualify (go by time and speed) to see which driver starts where and the higher position (One being the highest) the more points you get at the end of the day of which they add and who has the most points at the end of the year wins the championship. 36 races in a year with the last ten being the post season format I had explained earlier where the top twelve drivers start anew with points plus ten points per race they win during the season. (Hope that makes sense). They have a pit crew that helps fix the car during the race plus change tires and refuel the car with a crew cheif that leads them.

LOL Lori...getting smart are we? Well at least it is at Garrett's expense (Don't tell him I said that;) ) Well I had thought I would just warn Lori or you of what may happen is all.

Don't worry...it happens to the best of us.

Smart thinking...he does seem to have a hearing...uh I mean listening problem.

I wouldn't tell him I told you that...he'll never admit to saying or thinking that. In fact it would only insult him and make him angry and I doubt you want to see how ugly his temper gets.

Ahhh thanks, but if I'm not boring, then neither are you

Gee can't Lori talk to Garrett without tying him to a tree? LOL. Tell her he says he missed her and she need to come back to Hazzard and stay in Hazzard where she belongs. It's scary there without her .

As for I...who am not the slacker I claimed to be, am doing fine. LOL. And you?

Been hearing things about she's in tears? Who's in tears and why? And hey...what you doing calling me lazy and a slacker? It's different when I say it than you! LOL. Perhaps if I wasn't so busy or actually had any worthwhile thing to say, I'd have more posts...hmmmm. Who knows. Oh well. . .

You tied Garrett up to a tree? How you catch him? Thanks for helping me out...now all I have to do is go from tree to tree to tree and I might actually find my muse! YAY...there may be hope after all...thanks to you!
