Garrett Duke

I can't remember what Gordon said exactly... didn't say it was his fault tho. As it wasn't his fault. You probably won't agree with me.. but I'm with Smoke.

Well they are back to racing only for a wreck to involve half the field...including most of my drivers. Perhaps it should've kept raining...

Well they raced five good laps...before getting red flagged for more RAIN! Am so NOT happy right now. they just showed the Nationwide qualifying wreck due to rain....very scary and sad. Hope not to see that today. anyway... rain rain go away!!!!

Well it looks Hoss beat me to my post. Hate that it is postponed til tomorrow but it is what it is. I am on my phone so will do my write up tomorrow with my laptop. Just wanted to put die that it got rained out...but I am too late with that. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Thanks Hoss for covering for me.

"Achy Breaky Heart" Billy Ray Cyrus Posting this song and watching this video almost makes me want to cry. Well maybe not litterally but still makes me a bit sad. I was the biggest Billy Ray Cyrus fan. For the longest time, I had all of his albums. Had posters/pictures of him on my wall. Saw him seven times in concert...the last time I got pushed on stages with him to get his autograph. I was a huge fan...and a part of me still am. But find it really sad the path or road that he has taken the past couple of years. It is not for me to judge or criticize his life style or choices he or his daughter has made/making because I am far from perfect, I just miss the old Billy Ray. If that makes any sense... Anyway here is the big hit that introduced the name Billy Ray Cyrus to Country Music...and probably the world. To me, this song never gets old... "ACHY BREAKY HEART" BILLY RAY CYRUS

Thanks forgot who it was. Brian Vickers had problems in the first lap...of which I didn't see. I turned it on on the second lap or so. So I don't know if Stenhouse Jr. was in that or not. Either way no need to retaliate...especially since Vickers was able to overcome whatever it was that had happened. Well we will be back to left turns only next week so no more right turns til August.

Well the race at Sonoma has just gotten over...the first half of the race, not a whole lot had happened. I think they said they had one caution in the first sixty - laps...and five cautions in the last sixty one laps. Drivers are more cautious and generous in the first half of the race than the last I guess. The major wreck that comes to mind happened when Dale Earnhardt Jr. hit a bump and it forced his car into Matt Kenseth who hit the wall hard...hard enough to cause the front bumper to fly off of his car on impact and the radiator hose to go under his car. Luckily Matt was OK. Was a scary wreck. AJ Allmendinger who had a strong car up until the end when he got in a late race accident and came home 37th. Jamie McMurray started on the pole and stayed in the top five for most of the race, if not all...he came home fourth today. Sorry Hoss, but Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was doing pretty good but someone got into him to cause a caution...the announcers made a statement that it looked like a payback hit but they weren't sure because of why. Tony Stewart fought his way up to the top ten...and just like last week, got caught speeding in pit road. One would think that someone who has won three championships, has been in NASCAR as long as he has been, that he would learn not to speed on pit road. Well at least not twice in two weeks...and especially when I have him on my fantasy team. Thanks a lot Smoke! Tony got upset at Kyle Larson for blocking him last week...also got mad at Jimmie Johnson for blocking him today. Made it known and got into the back of JJ and who in turn got into Gordon. Gordon got mad at JJ and let his team mate know he was upset by tapping him a couple of times. I apologize to any Smoke fans out there...but I don't see how Stewart has any room to get upset at other drivers for blocking him when he does the same thing. Just like Keselowski got mad at Hamlin for blocking him at the start of the race the other race and got into him. It is the name of racing. They all do it. Perhaps if they don't want it done to them, perhaps they shouldn't do it to everyone else on the track. Guess it is OK for one to do it, just not everyone else. ? Though it does seem like the old temperamental Stewart is back...lol. Marcos Ambrose who is known to be good on road races had a good car and was hard to pass, but kinda went the wrong way at the end to get a top ten instead of the win he was going for. Another driver I had on my team today had problems as well (they always have problems. I am sure I jinx them. Which is why I don't use Gordon any more...lol.) Clint Bowyer was in the top five when he was getting into the back of Jimmie Johnson (or it looked like to me...) when Jamie McMurray got into the back of him to spin him around and he got into an already mad Kevin Harvick. (Harvick had been strong the first half of the race but he had a bad pit stop that put him down a couple of spots that had him upset at his crew...again.) Denny Hamlin had issues as well that sent him to the back. Though at the end, Carl Edwards was too ahead of anyone to be slowed down or passed by anyone. Jr proved that fresh tires were a must on the road course as he got his first top ten, top five finish at a road course. Jeff Gordon, who has won five times at Sonoma, and has been labeled as the road course king proved he is worthy of his title today. He started fifteenth and at first fell back, but both him and Johnson fought their way up the field (Passing at road courses are harder than regular races) and if there was a couple more laps on the race, I know Gordon would have came away with the win. Though as it is, Jeff Gordon gave it all he had and came home second...while Carl Edwards went on to win the race. His first road race win of his Sprint Cup career. Congrats Carl on a great win today! Official results: 1. Carl Edwards 2. Jeff Gordon 3. Dale Earnhardt Jr. 4. Jamie McMurray 5. Paul Menard 6. Kasey Kahne 7. Jimmie Johnson 8. Marcos Ambrose 9. Greg Biffle 10. Clint Bowyer 11. Ryan Newman 12. Kurt Busch 13. Casey Mears 14. Brian Vickers 15. Martin Truex Jr. 16. Joey Logano 17. Austin Dillion 18. Danica Patrick 19. Tony Stewart 20.

Thanks for the smile Hoss...I really needed that today. I am sorry that Ricky is having such a hard time this season. He has had such rotten luck...him and Kahne both. It is odd, but it always seems that the second year is the hardest for the new guys/gal. Hard to beat a good first season when he had the attention on him. Now the attention has fallen on Dillion and Larson. (Larson by the way just bought a new big house last week and he just came out that his girlfriend is expecting. Will have their baby near Christmas.) As for the win...I think Gordon needs a second win. I mean JJ has three, Jr has two, and Gordon has one. Yep, Gordon needs another one to show who is boss at HMS. Perhaps Stenhouse Jr can finish second at Sonoma?

Sorry y'all that I failed to meet job qualification last week. I watched the race and then had to leave right afterwards. Hoss probably did a better job than I did. I was super happy that Jr won last week...but the TNT announcers irritated me when JJ spun out in pits (luckily he was able to over come that) and the announcers seemed to laugh about it. I really didn't think it was a laughing matter...especially at the time. Thanks Hoss for covering for me...again. Well I did watch today's race and lookie here...I am writing my review. Though it had started off with a bang with Brian Vickers wrecking out on the fifth lap and then Kasey Kahne wrecking out on the next restart, not a whole lot really happened. Kevin Harvick had a strong car and led a lot of laps...as did Jeff Gordon. But Gordon fell behind due to pit strategy and had to fight his way back at the end to finish sixth. Kyle Busch had something break on his car to send his car to the garage twice in today's race. Jimmie Johnson, who has won two races already, thanks to pit strategy and a good car, ended up getting his very first win at Michigan today. First driver to reach three wins...and is now seated high and proud in the CHASE standings. Have to admit...today was a good day for my team Hendrick boys. JJ won, Gordon came in sixth with Jr coming in seventh. Kasey Kahne was able to overcome the wreck he was involved in and all four guys came home in the top ten. Official standings: 1. Jimmie Johnson 2. Kevin Harvick 3. Brad Keselowski 4. Paul Menard 5. Kasey Kahne 6. Jeff Gordon 7. Dale Earnhardt Jr. 8. Kyle Larson 9. Joey Logano 10. Clint Bowyer 11. Tony Stewart 12. Jamie McMurray 13. Kurt Busch 14. Matt Kenseth 15. Ryan Newman 16. Justin Allgaier 17. Danica Patrick 18. Juan Pablo Montoya 19. Trevor Bayne 20. Greg Biffle 21. Michael Annett 22. AJ Allmendinger 23. Carl Edwards 24. Casey Mears 25. Marcos Ambrose 26. David Gilliland 27. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 28. Cole Whitt 29. Denny Hamlin 30. Austin Dillion 31. Aric Almirola 32. Reed Sorenson 33. Josh Wise 34. Brett Moffitt 35. Landon Cassill 36. JJ Yeley 37. Martin Truex Jr. 38. David Regan 39. David Stremme 40. Alex Bowman 41. Kyle Busch 42. Brian Vickers 43. Travis Kvapil We are going back to California to do a little road racing at Sonoma next Sunday...not an extreme fan of road races due to the fact that it is so hard to pass people and it isn't really known as a fast race. . . but Jeff Gordon was once known as the road race king. So if Gordon's good at it, I like it. Hoping for win number 2 of the season for team 24 next week.

Welcome back Daisy! I have missed you and seeing your post. This post brought a smile to my face. So glad to see you back and hope to see you around. Congrats on Kasey Lee...what a beautiful name. Of course, me being a NASCAR fan...thought of Kasey Kahne who is a driver for my favorite team. Sorry...that is just how my mind works. HA. I bet she is just a bundle of joy. I work with two year olds at the local day care and that is a fun stage. It can be challenging at times, but it is worth it. Enjoy every minute of it...they are only little for such a small time. Congrats again! Glad to see you back!

The FedEx Autism Speaks race at Dover has just finished...which means that that the regular season is now half over. Als means that the races will no longer be on FOX as this was the last race on Fox for the season. Next week's race at Pocono will be on TNT for the summer series. For the last time as TNT's contract ends and next year will move to NBC. Personally...I really wish they would keep the race on FOX. I know a lot of people feel differently...but that is OK. I like DW and the announcers on FOX and am sad to see them go also like it not being on cable. I watch the races at my parents' house who do have cable...where as I don't. With it on FOX I know I can watch it at my apartment if for some reason I don't make it out. But then again, that all is my opinion. I will watch the races no matter what channel it is on as long as it is on a channel my parents' cable has...but just like FOX better. Kyle Busch was on a pretty good streak going as he won the Truck race and the Nationwide Series race at Dover and was going for the three race sweep. He was doing pretty good until he got into Clint Bowyer who sent him into the wall and to the garage. Bowyer's spotter had told him he was clear when he wasn't...so it was the spotter's deal...but also feel that Bowyer should've saw it happen. But Bowyer did apologize after the race and did seem to feel bad for it. Kyle Busch had gotten mad at him after the accident and had went past his pit stop to go after Bowyer but ended up listening to his crew who told him to stop it and get back. Then AJ Allmendinger got into Greg Biffle or Ricky Stenhous Jr. and caused a pretty bad accident...especially for Stenhouse Jr. Luckily everyone was OK, but had red flagged the race. Then later Ryan Newman hit something and kicked it back for it to hit Jamie McMurray into his front bumper. It turned out to be part of the track that was falling apart...which red flagged the race. AGAIN. Red flagged the race for the crew members to fix the track. I was kinda disappointed in NASCAR that they wouldn't let Jamie Mac fix his car under red. I understand they have the rule that they can't fix their cars under red, but really? It was the track that damaged his car...their track. They did the same thing to Gordon in 2010 at Martinsville that costed him the win. I guess t hey did that to Gordon they should do it to everyone, but it would be nice that they would learn from their mistake back then and to fix it now. But I guess a rule is a rule. Gordon started the race really good and stuck to Jimmie Johnson through out the whole race...but when it mattered most, his crew fixed his car for the worse or something broke and he finished a disappointing 15th. Jimmie Johnson led the most laps and went on to win the race...his second in a row and it pretty much guarantees him a spot in the Chase. Which will make him the only driver to make it into all ten Chases. This also makes his nineth Dover race...think he has that monster tamed. LOL. Here is the official results: 1. Jimmie Johnson 2. Brad Keselowski 3. Matt Kenseth 4. Clint Bowyer 5. Denny Hamlin 6. Martin Truex Jr. 7. Tony Stewart 8. Joey Logano 9. Dale Earnhardt Jr. 10. Paul Menard 11. Kyle Larson 12. Aric Almirola 13. Jamie McMurray 14. Carl Edwards 15. Jeff Gordon 16. Marcos Ambrose 17. Kevin Harvick 18. Kurt Busch 19. Kasey Kahne 20. Austin Dillon 21. AJ Allmendinger 22. Brett Moffitt 23. Danica Patrick 24. Reed Sorenson 25. Casey Mears 26. Justin Allgaier 27. Cole Whitt 28. Josh Wise 29. David Gilliland 30. Blake Koch 31. Ryan Newman 32. Ryan Truex 33. Dave Blaney 34. Landon Cassill 35. Michael Annett 36. David Regen 37. David Stremme 38. Greg Biffle 39. JJ Yeley 40. Alex Bowman 41. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 42. Kyle Busch 43. Brian Vickers Well with Gordon's poor finish he is no longer the points leader as well...I believe he is two points behind Matt Kenseth. Onto Pocono next week...the triangle track. On TNT.

Well Roger...don't feel bad, so did I. Wanna guess who I had on my bench for the A group???? JIMMIE JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was wanting to change them before the race, but never got the computer turned on to do so...guess second place isn't too bad with Harvick, but I sure coulda used that win! Well y'all I apologize for my lack of a race summary this week...my sister just had to have my niece's birthday party Sunday afternoon despite the fact that I tol' her the race was on at that time. The nerve of some people...I tell you! LOL. So, sadly, I missed the race. Well not all of the race...I got home to watch the last three laps of the race...in time to watch Jimmie Johnson win the race. Bet y'all can't guess who was happy and excited??? ME!!!! LOL. Jeff Gordon finished seventh but I feel like that is a win considering how they didn't know if he would be able to even finish the race. He suffered through a back spasm that started during qualifying...he endured to get his 27th starting spot. But then had a worse spasm during practice where they just parked the car because of it. Gordon had Regan Smith on his pit stall as a back up driver in case he would have to get out of the car and by the looks of it, he didn't have to. So for Gordon to run six hundred laps in one of the hardest races to run at, the longest race to run at, with all of that going on, looks pretty good. Plus we are a third way through the season and he is standing tall and proud at the number one driver in the standings... And Hoss...that may not mean much come Chase time, it looks pretty good right now. And to top it off, my top three drivers are pretty much counted for in the Chase now...just have to wait for Kasey Kahne to get his win and it'll be perfect for me! Sorry I failed y'all for my race summary...I will do better for Dover this upcoming race. I am already going through race withdrawals...three laps is surely not enough for me!

Thanks i1976 for showing interest in my story. Can't wait to hear what you think of it if you do read it. Yeah it is in first person...that is just how I normally write. But I really hope it isn't too confusing. I put a small note about it at the beginning but may have to do more. Garrett isn't in this story...though he would be interesting to see how he and the Blue Blood characters get along. I doubt they would. LOL. I jump from character to character from chapter to chapter. Perhaps I should put their name above the chapter to make it more clear. I didn't even't think of that...guess I got too excited to actually be writing. Oops. Thanks for pointing that out or with your question that led me to think of that... Thanks again. You should watch Blue Bloods...great cop show. Kinda odd shows to write together, but hopefully can make it work.

Well, y'all, it has been a long time since I have been able to post a story to share with you all of any kind thanks to the lack of time and stubborn muses. But I am hoping that I am back and that all will change. I may not have wrote much but there hasn't been a day that gone by that I don't think of writing or of my DOH fan fic. I really miss writing and posting my stories...but I am back. Several months ago I got this idea that since my DOH muses weren't cooperating with me that I should try to do something different. Something I haven't done in the past. Which led to the idea of writing a crossover. At first I fought against it, but in the end the idea won and am excited about it. My new story is a cross over between my two favorite TV shows The Dukes of Hazzard (of course ) and Blue Bloods and is titled "When Worlds Collide". I am going to be posting the chapters as I go along on fanfiction.net but also wanted to share it with you so I am going to share you links of my updates on this thread and also thought you could send me your feedback either on this thread or you can PM them with me. WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE NYPD Detectives Reagan and Baez are working a case of three families who were murdered with little to no reason by a couple of known gang leaders. With the help of a key witness and a note, it takes Detective Danny Reagan, Detective Maria Baez, and Officer Jamie Reagan to the small hick town of Hazzard, Georgia. Once in Hazzard, they are quick to discover that things aren’t always as they appear. Where the law is the bad guys and the two men wanted for bank robbery are the good guys. Will Danny, Maria, and Jamie be able to find and capture the two murderers before they cause havoc to the Dukes and the rest of Hazzard county or will they be too late? https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10359737/1/When-Worlds-Collide As I said, feel free to leave your comments and questions on this thread to my story or to PM your comments or questions to me. Also don't forget to check back here for updates. I am busy, but am going to try my best to keep up with the story and post as often as I can.

Well Hoss...I'll let you walk your dinosaurs. As for me, I'll walk the dogs. They're much easier. "Who Let the Dogs Out" Baha Men I don't know why, but do find this song amusing. LOL.

I think it is about time that we awaken this thread.... Walk the Line - Johnny Cash

Well the 2014 NASCAR All Star Race is now done and over...where is the time going? Why the off season go by so slow and the season go by so fast...seems so unfair if you ask me! Anyway... The race was separated into five different segments. Four twenty lap segments and a ten lap shootout. Carl Edwards started the race on pole and led the first ten laps before being passed by Kyle Busch who went on to win the first segment. Second segment started with Denny Hamlin out front since he decided to stay out and everyone else pitted. Kyle Busch was racing pretty hard against Clint Bowyer when he passed him they kinda bumped and it sent Kyle Busch spinning only to collect Joey Logano hard against Kyle Busch. Luckily Kyle was OK...though he wasn't too happy with having to take the truck to the in field care center which is required when they wreck and can't drive the car back. AJ Allmendinger who raced his way in also had issues as he got loose and hit the wall. All three cars had to leave the track. Kasey Kahne went onto win the second segment. Third segment had some pretty fast and competitive racing for the lead but no big wrecks. Kasey Kahne once again won the segment as he had a fast car...and a good car. And then the four segment...which was the worst one if you ask me. LOL. Something went wrong or something broke in Gordon's car and it sent him up the track where he collected Greg Biffle and Martin Truex Jr and brought all three drivers to the garage and end their night early. Gordon had a fast car up until then and he was still unsure what went wrong when they interviewed him. Was guessing a left tire went out...but said the car just went up the track and that he hated it for the other two drivers that he took out. Kasey Kahne also hit the wall...not once, but twice which ended all hopes for him to win the race. .Though was able to stay out. Ryan Newman also hit the wall hard. Segment leader was Kevin Harvick. Last segment was a ten lap shootout. Edwards started the segment out front due to pit selection and followed by Jamie McMurray. McMurray fought for the lead with Edwards before he got it on the first lap of the last ten laps. Harvick managed to pass Edwards as well and gave McMurray chase as he did Gordon last week...and got outran by Jamie McMurray. Jamie McMurray won the 2014 All Star Race...and a million dollars. Jamie Mac may not race for my Hendrick team, but he is one of my favorite drivers. One of the good guys if you ask me and am happy that he won it. Just wish he would share some of that million dollars with me! 1. Jamie McMurray 2. Kevin Harvick 3. Matt Kenseth 4. Dale Earnhardt Jr. 5. Carl Edwards 6. Jimmie Johnson 7. Clint Bowyer 8. Brian Vickers 9. Denny Hamlin 10. Brad Keselowski 11. Kurt Busch 12. Tony Stewart 13. David Ragen 14. Kasey Kahne 15. Josh Wise 16. Ryan Newman 17. Jeff Gordon 18. Martin Truex Jr. 19. Greg Biffle 20. Kyle Busch 21. Joey Logano Well the Coca-Cola 600 will be next Sunday at Charlotte for some more night racing...and the longest race of the season! Gotta love that! Well I do at least. HA! Hope Gordon will rebound next week and am glad tonight's race isn't for points.

Thanks Hoss for covering for me...been busy this week. All Star Race is about to start...Carl Edwards has won the pole...as he did last year. JJ has the most All Star Race with four...but I am hoping Gordon will tie him with that tonight.

I thought of you when I saw the video while putting it on my post and saw how close Ricky was to getting tagged in that "horrendous" crash. I didn't see it or notice it at the time, but am surprised that he didn't get anything from that wreck. What talent and what luck. Glad everyone was Ok from that accident. Can really live without cars catching on fire like that... Thanks so much!!! I was so excited about Gordon's win last night...and still am. Think my Facebook page shows that with my Gordon posts. LOL. He is now in the Chase and he is still number one in points right now...though would be third in the Chase since Harvick and Logano both have two wins. But the regular season isn't over yet...

Well Roger...here it is one in the morning and I was thinking I was going to be the first one to wish Denver a happy birthday...only to see that you beat me to it by ten days. I guess it pays not to wait to the last minute to do so. LOL. Happy birthday Denver!!!!!!!!!!!

Well y'all I apologize for my last post...I wrote this whole review up. Tried editing it only for my dang computer top decide not to have any internet connection...as it has been doing off and on all night. Am beyond frustrated with my computer right now...it has decided to put an end to a good night. Think I will just throw it out the window and end all my frustration...sounds fair enough to me. Right? Anyway....the race got over an hour or so ago. I missed the beginning of the race tonight but did hear it started out in a rain delay and that I did miss a few wrecks. One of which was of Bowyer spinning out. Sorry I don't have much more details than that... Kevin Harvick started out on the pole and led the most laps tonight and had a fast race car and was clearly the car to beat. Joey Logano led some laps to make it his six race this season to have led some laps. Jamie McMurray was doing pretty good (think the announcers jinxed him...they kept talking about how good he is doing. I think mainly because he is from Missouri...) until his front right tire went out and threw his car into the wall hard. His night ended in flames as his car caught on fire. Poor Jamie...just can't catch a break it seems. So glad that he was able to climb out and be OK after that horrible wreck. http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/videos/2014/5/10/sprint-cup-series-kansas-jamie-mcmurray-crash-car-catches-fire.html Then later on in the race, AJ Allmendinger bumped into Justin Allgaier who then ran into David Gilliland. Gilliland's car was smashed up and then also caught on fire. So glad AJ and David are OK. Both took a pretty big hit tonight. The announcers were talking about if that had happened back when they were racing, that it would have had a different outcome. Just too scary. Don't understand why cars are catching on fire so much this year, can't remember it happening like this...know Goodyear has made a new tire...don't know if that could be it or not. But it is super scary to watch! http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/videos/2014/5/10/sprint-cup-series-kansas-wild-crash-for-gilliland-and-allgaier.html Kurt Busch (who is on my fantasy team this week...as I said, I jinx all my drivers I pick!) spun out twice tonight. Will give a shout out to Danica Patrick (who is also in my fantasy team and somehow missed being jinxed) who had a super good race tonight and finished in the top ten! May not be a huge Patrick fan, but am happy for her that she had a fast car and was able to capture a top ten. It is good for her and good for the sport. Well, as I said, Kevin Harvick had a fast car tonight and earned the extra point for leading the most laps. It was his race to lose...which he did (by a half a second) due to pit stop strategy. Gordon was one of the first drivers to pit in the last pit stop (Gordon was running second behind Harvick at the time.) and had a good pit stop. Where as Harvick was one of the four last drivers to pit and had ran out of gas on his way to his pit stall. When the field cycled around after everyone pitted with eight laps to go...Jeff Gordon was leading the race! (Bet y'all can't guess was excited and nervous at the same time???!!!!) Harvick had a fast car and with slower cars on track, was almost to Gordon, but ran out of time as Gordon crossed the checkered flag a half a second before Harvick! A few days ago Gordon reached his twenty year anniversary of his very first NASCAR Sprint (was Winston Cup back then) Win at Charlotte in 1994...and now has won his 89th career win! (89 wins in 20 years is just amazing to me...) Not only that...Jeff Gordon is now in the 2014 Chase...and I can breathe a little bit easier. LOL. I am super excited for this win and super proud of Jeff Gordon and his entire team in all the effort they put into today's race and every race...love their never give up attitude. Not only did my man win tonight...but my entire Hendrick team has finished in the top ten tonight! Just the perfect late birthday gift to me...or maybe an early birthday gift to Denver Pyle whose birthday would have been today (May 11th) since it is now past midnight. LOL. Either way, I am beyond excited and on cloud nine with his win tonight and with how all my drivers did. Here is the best laps of the race...OK that is of my opinion...but it is the last couple of laps of the Kansas race: http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2014/5/10/nascar-sprint-cup-kansas-results-recap-standings.html Final results: 1.

Ryan Truex Well we are off to Charlotte next Saturday night for some non-points racing at the All Star Race. Where it is all for fun...and all for the money. Probably all for the money for the drivers...but since us fans won't be getting any money, it'll be all for the fun. Though I do believe it would be fair if they would share some of that million dollars with me...I mean after all the time I spend watching the races and reading up on it and after all the NASCAR goodies I have bought, I think they should share some of it with me. Seems only fair, right? LOL

Well y'all I apologize for my last post...I wrote this whole review up. Tried editing it only for my dang computer top decide not to have any internet connection...as it has been doing off and on all night. Am beyond frustrated with my computer right now...it has decided to put an end to a good night. Think I will just throw it out the window and end all my frustration...sounds fair enough to me. Right? Anyway....the race got over an hour or so ago. I missed the beginning of the race tonight but did hear it started out in a rain delay and that I did miss a few wrecks. One of which was of Bowyer spinning out. Sorry I don't have much more details than that... Kevin Harvick started out on the pole and led the most laps tonight and had a fast race car and was clearly the car to beat. Joey Logano led some laps to make it his six race this season to have led some laps. Jamie McMurray was doing pretty good (think the announcers jinxed him...they kept talking about how good he is doing. I think mainly because he is from Missouri...) until his front right tire went out and threw his car into the wall hard. His night ended in flames as his car caught on fire. Poor Jamie...just can't catch a break it seems. So glad that he was able to climb out and be OK after that horrible wreck. Then later on in the race, AJ Allmendinger bumped into Justin Allgaier who then ran into David Gilliland. Gilliland's car was smashed up and then also caught on fire. So glad AJ and David are OK. Both took a pretty big hit tonight. The announcers were talking about if that had happened back when they were racing, that it would have had a different outcome. Just too scary. Don't understand why cars are catching on fire so much this year, can't remember it happening like this...know Goodyear has made a new tire...don't know if that could be it or not. But it is super scary to watch! Kurt Busch (who is on my fantasy team this week...as I said, I jinx all my drivers I pick!) spun out twice tonight. Will give a shout out to Danica Patrick (who is also in my fantasy team and somehow missed being jinxed) who had a super good race tonight and finished in the top ten! May not be a huge Patrick fan, but am happy for her that she had a fast car and was able to capture a top ten. It is good for her and good for the sport. Well, as I said, Kevin Harvick had a fast car tonight and earned the extra point for leading the most laps. It was his race to lose...which he did (by a half a second) due to pit stop strategy. Gordon was one of the first drivers to pit in the last pit stop (Gordon was running second behind Harvick at the time.) and had a good pit stop. Where as Harvick was one of the four last drivers to pit and had ran out of gas on his way to his pit stall. When the field cycled around after everyone pitted with eight laps to go...Jeff Gordon was leading the race! (Bet y'all can't guess was excited and nervous at the same time???!!!!) Harvick had a fast car and with slower cars on track, was almost to Gordon, but ran out of time as Gordon crossed the checkered flag a half a second before Harvick! A few days ago Gordon reached his twenty year anniversary of his very first NASCAR Sprint (was Winston Cup back then) Win at Charlotte in 1994...and now has won his 89th career win! (89 wins in 20 years is just amazing to me...) Not only that...Jeff Gordon is now in the 2014 Chase...and I can breathe a little bit easier. LOL. I am super excited for this win and super proud of Jeff Gordon and his entire team in all the effort they put into today's race and every race...love their never give up attitude. Not only did my man win tonight...but my entire Hendrick team has finished in the top ten tonight! Just the perfect late birthday gift to me...or maybe an early birthday gift to Denver Pyle whose birthday would have been today (May 11th) since it is now past midnight. LOL. Either way, I am beyond excited and on cloud nine with his win tonight and with how all my drivers did. Here is the best laps of the race...OK that is of my opinion...but it is the last couple of laps of the Kansas race: http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2014/5/10/nascar-sprint-cup-kansas-results-recap-standings.html

Well y'all the first Kansas City night race has just ended and well...it was a great race to watch. I missed the beginning of the race b

Congrats Hoss...glad Stenhouse Jr got a top ten. For you and for me...means I actually had a driver finish in the top on my free fantasy teams that I am in. This season has been an embarrassment so far seeing as most of my drivers (a few weeks all...) have some problem or another. In all three leagues...I am dead last. Sad...I know. But am sure Roger loves it!

Well Hoss...twelfth place right now seems like a win. Gordon led a lap...and finished 38th or so. So...it could be worse. Though despite all that...Gordon still holds the point lead by three points. So there is a positive end to it at least. Not that it will matter much if he don't have a win...well I guess if he has the most points he will get in, but still...he needs that win! I thought that was funny / cute too when they said that about Jamie McMurray.
