It's been done before? In NASCAR? Found this article this morning. I love how the drivers and teams support one another in times like this. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-23/nascar-champions-stand-with-bubba-wallace/12383798

I agree. Life would be perfect if it were like Hazzard County. I so hope they find this person and can press charges. Its horrible...I just can't understand why anyone would even think of doing this, not alone to do it. It saddens me. As I said, I would think they could charge whoever with a hate crime for this. Or something like that. There has to be something. There's no reason anyone should get away with this in my opinion.

I would think they could charge it as a hate crime. Idk.

I saw that. I also just read an article that Bubba Wallace, NASCAR only African American, found a noose in his garage area. It just breaks my heart to see things turn to this. I can't even imagine how he must feel. Things like this is why people assume the flag stands for hate. I really hope they find whoever is responsible for this...

Me too! It'll make it more fun.

They just can't figure out restrictor plate races. Either irs follow the leader or its covered in a lot of huge accidents. I remember years ago. it may have been after the Carl Edwards accident at Talladega, they slowed the cars down a lot. It was follow the leader from start to finish...and Tony Stewart was acting like he was so bored he was sleeping. NASCAR then changed it up some. There has to be some in between state they can find... No baseball, no football, very short NASCAR season...my heart is seriously breaking. As much as I love my Chicago Bears football , I could possibly live without a season (especially if its going to be like last season...) but baseball and NASCAR? Its horrible!

Nothing beats NASCAR ... except baseball. Sadly they are not playing...the withdrawal is real y'all. So in other words, skip the bikes, go cheer on Chase Elliott!

LOL Roger. I saw it and assumed you were being sarcastic. And when I read about the numbers the first thing I thought about was the General! I get the sponsors and the money...but still think its wrong. LOL Talladega tomorrow. Hopefully it will have a better ending to it than Daytona.

Well NASCAR's All Star Race moved to Bristol in July. Which I'm happy about. But they are moving the car numbers from the doors to the back of the car to add more room for sponsors. Supposedly that's what the drivers want and they are doing it to experiment with it. I vote to stick with doors...but they don't ask me. So I guess it is what it is...

Thank you Hobie, Roger, Hoss for the warm welcome back. I've missed chatting with you all! Thank you for the smiles too. I can't wait to watch those races Hobie. They sound dangerous and entertaining! LOL Hoss at what Fangio said. I bet it's hard for them to drive and not speed on the normal roads. I remember Jeff Gordon saying he got pulled over for speeding while he was on the phone with Dale Earnhardt Jr. He said he could tell the cop wasn't impressed that he was Jeff Gordon so he asked him if he wanted to talk to Jr. And Jr got him out of a ticket. It cracked me up...don't know why. LOL. Anyway, it's good to be back.

Thank you Hobie. Its great seeing you too...and yes! It is like old times. I love it.

Thank you Roger. I will try to do that. Sorry to worry you. Just been busy.

Thank you Roger. It's great seeing you too. Sorry I haven't been on lately. You had me on Fantasy baseball for a bit. Someone sent me a picture a while back saying it's been a great season so far. The Cubs have yet to lose a game and the Cardinals have yet to win a game! Gotta think positive, right?

On NASCAR news Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Ryan Blaney, and Bubba Wallace have all dropped Beam (they design their helmets) for Beams tweet criticism of NASCAR banning the Confederate Flag at their races.

Yeah I don't wear my shirts anymore nor talk about it. I really don't know how to feel about it. I never thought of them being a racist show nor thought the flag on the car stood with racism. But I do see where people would cone to the conclusion that it does since slavery and all that was fought for by the people carrying the same flag.

I'm just really down that they are casting a big shadow over the Dukes by making them look racist or anyone who likes the show. I'm not racist and hate the thought of someone thinking I am just because of a show. But I do see where people are coming from by associating the flag with it...even if that's not what it was intended to mean. If all that makes sense...

LOL...thank you for the laugh!

I just saw where Amazon Prime is talking about taking The Dukes of Hazzard off of its streaming as well. . .

Yes I am. I joined yours. I was wondering about my own league...

Yeah it's in the NASCAR app. Yahoo was easier. Talking of which. How did you renew your fantasy baseball league? Yahoo normally sends me an email to do it and they haven't and I can't find out how to renew my league...

Hey Roger...I pmed you about my fantasy NASCAR league. The app included everyone who was in my league last year, into the league this year. Are you interested in playing? I hope so...

Well thanks to the rain delay, I missed the race but have seen video of the wreck. So scary. Glad to see Ryan home and alive! As for Denny Hamlin, him and Joe Gibbs said they didn't know until the accident or the severity of it until after their celebrating and felt bad. Fun fact...James Best helped or supported Ryan Newman's dog rescue. I saw James Best years ago after he did something with Jeff Gordon (I can't remember) I asked James who his favorite driver was. He said Ryan Newman.

I've been a Chase Elliott fan since before he was in NASCAR just because I knew he was going to replace Jeff Gordon when he retired...he just has been my main driver as he will be when Johnson retires. I am so ready for Daytona y'all. It's not even funny!

Well y'all I am still here. I just haven't been on the computer or HNet for awhile. I hope all is well with you all. I just dropped by to have a look around... And well...this 48 fan is heart broken to hear that Jimmie Johnson is stepping away from racing FULL time after 2020. First Jeff Gordon and now Jimmie Johnson. I can't say I am too surprised...the writing was on the wall that the end was near (whether or not he wanted to admit it), but still sad all the same. I am grateful for another season with Jimmie Johnson...hope it is a great year for him. Roger - you'll be glad to hear that, Chase Elliott is next in line on my favorite list of drivers. So he will be my solo driver that I will be following come 2021. I've always had a couple of drivers to follow. . .Gordon and Johnson. Then Johnson and Elliott. Now just Elliott...he better not retire for another thirty years or so. As my normal NASCAR offseason...I'm counting down to Daytona. I'm so ready for NASCAR to be back...and baseball.
