Garrett Duke

Thanks MaryAnne, I never know when I've said too much or not. When it comes to NASCAR, Dukes, or the Cubs, I can talk forever. LOL;)

Thanks for the reply MaryAnne, the cat is now satisfied . LOL. I cant' remember seeing that, but I can totally believe it coming from the one that shall not be named. LOL. Yeah I understand him being frustrated, but yeah, don't take it out on the people trying to help you. But then again, we are talking about the driver that has been known to throw a few punches around here and there when made upset.

Thanks for the reply. I do think he has mellowed out now that he has left his Home Depot ride, but am still not a fan of his. The story kinda reminded me of the race on the Fourth of July this year, except different driver and I don't know if he pushed the medical people, but he wasn't happy to go with them. LOL

Well I'll shut up now before you throw me out for boring you to death . Take care.

OK MaryAnn...you've got curiosity up again. I know, I know curiosity kills the cat. But as my mom says, satisfaction, brings it back. What did the ex-home depot do to an EMS person at Loudon? If it makes you feel any better, I was never a fan of his either. . .(I can stand him better than I had before since he no longer seems to have cooled off since he was a couple of years ago...now I have another driver that has taken his spot).

LOL I got my two cents worth in on it. You'll have to read the JR article at nascar.com if are interested...I felt bad for Jr. He's not normally the one to get upset at someone it dont' seem so it just kinda shows how frustrated he is.

OK I'll shut up now...now that I've bored you with things that make little to no matter at all. I hope you have a great week! And a GREAT Trip. Where you goign? I know you probably told me, but I can't think of it now...LOL. I hope it is a great trip where ever you go!

I also am kinda confused on something...nothing big. At the end of the race with Stewart's tire or axel thing that was loose. At first the announcers kept saying that it was no big deal and that it wouldn't effect his drivign and so forth. But when they took the time to change or fix the problem in pit, the announcers made it sound like it was a crucial fix and that they were lucky to get it fixed. Was it just me or were they counterdicting themselves? LOL. It could just be me and I wasn't understanind them properly.

I just thought of something that really doesn't mean anything much. I am surprised with how things have been in the pits the last few or a couple of races. Last weekend, Stewart hit that one crew member (though as my dad pointed out, the member was partially in the road) and then yesterday Denny Hamlin (I think) ran over another crew member's foot and had to be taken into the in care center. (I don't know how the member is or if it broke anything, they never said anything after it happened) and then later Kurt Busch left his pits and hit David Ragen to make Ragen pit backwards in his pit box. I don't know, but I would think that they would be bringing up to the drivers to pay more attention to other people's pit crew. That is two crew members hit in two weeks. Granted it is a busy place and it is all shoved in there as it is, but I don't think the pit crew guys get enough credit as they should. They are all at risk of getting hit out there while working on the car and so forth.

lol

I thought you liked Josh Turner

I am so glad you had a fun time at your concert! I bet they both were great...I like them both. Toby a little more, but Trace would be great too. I bet you were tired.

I was soooo frustrated for Jr when that accident happened, he had such an awesome day! He had a car that could win the race - for once! By the article at nascar.com, he was very frustrated too. Found it kinda funny him saying that Reutimann ran out of talent...it is not like him to get that upset at someone, but he's frustrated with the season and what happened. I felt so bad for him!

Was happy for Martin and was glad that he got the win. I was going for him to win over Montoya. I am not a Montoya fan. So taht part is good. Gordon finished 15th and is now tenth in points and like 102 or something like that behind Martin . He had such an awesome car at teh beginning of the race too...he even radioed in if he could get turns three and four figured out, then everyone to be ware. Then he got a little nudge from some one (I can't remember who any more) and then he struggled with his car from taht time out. He was moving up though and probably could have gotten a tenth place finish or what not if the race had a couple of more laps or if they didn't have to spend so much time under caution that they did. So frustrating! He started out so promising and then that. At least he finished fifteenth and I should be happy with that...ten laps or so to go he was 21st...

I don't know where Edwards was or finished up or actually anything about him. Sorry I cant' help you out there. Hopefully he had a good race. I guess I was too sidetracked with where Gordon was and how he'd finish out in points. ERRRR

Anyways, I guess I should go attempt to find something for dinner. I hope you have a good trip and I can't wait to hear from you when you get back.

Hola...I thought of you at the beginning of the race today. Josh Turner sang the National Anthem and did an awesome job at it

Hi Redneck Girl - you ignoring me? LOL. I hope all is going well with you. Hope you have a great week. Just thought I'd drop a note to say hi, so hi. *waves*

Thanks MaryAnne, I'll try not to give up on it. Thought it has been tempting.

Hi MaryAnne, Just a short note to say hi and that I am sorry that I haven't posted/sent any more chapters in to be posted. I don't think I have ever had a story give me such trouble as this one -errr it'd be almost easier to just give up on it! Anyways, enough of my complaining...sorry for the long wait. Hope you had a good weekend!

Now if only I lived closer. . .LOL. I'd say if only he'd come to where I live, but he was a month or so ago, didn't find out until afterwards though from someone at work who made a comment about my General Lee shirt I was wearing.

YAY Lori...I am sooo happy to see that John is going to be in your area. I hope you get to go and have a great time.
