Garrett Duke

Um what did Martin Truex Jr say and why? This is the first time I am hearing that he has said anything...see out of the loop I am. Work and school has me preoccupied and missing out. Thank you for the information.

Thank you for the update, Hoss. I hope your driver will have a great race today and that it'll be a fun race to watch.

Thank you Spike for covering NASCAR. Sounds like an exciting finish. Though Blaney might think otherwise.

That surprises me about Jr feeling that way. I'd understand if Monday wasn't a holiday calling it after so many laps, but Monday was a holiday. All those people spent a lot of money to see the whole race. Heck the teams spent a lot of money to race the whole race. I'd think NASCAR would want to make it all count. I feel like this is some way to get at Larson for attempting to race the double. IDK. I get it is a business, but it's also about the racing. The teams. The drivers. The fans. NASCAR won't go very far without the fans. Talking about business and money, I had a friend send me this link that is really breaks it down how much it cost to put a car on the track. Stewart-Haas Racing getting out should be a red-flag warning to NASCAR - Augusta Free Press All that seems crazy to me. They didn't mention Hendrick, but I'd love to see how much he puts out for his equipment and all his cars. Hendrick has the best of the best in their cars and teams. I'd also like to know if they get as much money with these younger drivers than with Gordon and Johnson and Jr himself.

I was thinking about that today that they should have just finished the race today. I really don't understand why they didn't. And the fact that it affects Kyle Larson's championship chances due to their choice just to end it, is rather upsetting to me. They better waiver it. Yeah he stayed for the rain delated Indy race, but he's been working and practicing for that for some time now. If they are upset, they should make it a rule that they can't run in both races beforehand. IDK. He made the effort to make the race...NASCAR canceled it.

Well they haven't gotten any of my money so that should tell them something. Oh wait...maybe that's because I don't have any to give them. LOL. I understand all that, but if that's what people want to see then they should watch the demolition derby and wrestling. My opinion of course. HA. They just better keep all the drama away from Elliott and his Hendrick team mates. Thanks for the recap Hoss. That sounds like an exciting race.

All eyes will be on Stenhouse Jr and Kyle Busch tomorrow night. Kyle is probably loving the attention. I mean he starts it and nothing happens to him. Same song, different verse. I hate that NASCAR has become about the fights and wrecks and less about the racing. Even the racing, NASCAR has to have control and their hand in it. It's definitely heading in the wrong direction. Talking about the wrong direction, big change may be coming to teams in NASCAR with charters and all that. It sounds like from what I read earlier (I tried finding the article I read on my phone earlier, but couldn't find them, I think these two are similar to it) is that NASCAR wants to limit charters to teams. Right now each team can have 4 cars if they want or can afford it, but they are looking to downsize that to three cars. Of what I read, is that Joe Gibbs Racing and Rick Hendrick Racing (Chase Elliott's team) may be grandfathered in since they already have four cars. And...Tony Stewart is selling all his charters and leaving NASCAR all together. NASCAR Rumor: Rick Hendrick & Joe Gibbs Bypassing NASCAR’s Wrath Amidst Tony Stewart’s Split Shocks Racing Fandom - EssentiallySports NASCAR Rumor: With SHR's Implosion Imminent, Where Do their Charters Head in the Silly Season? - EssentiallySports Y'all want my two cents worth in all this? Well it's a cold day in you know where when Tony Stewart wants out of the sport all together. I can't imagine NASCAR without Smoke in it. I was never a fan of his when he was racing the 20 car, but did grow to like him better when he drove the 14 and wasn't wrecking everyone and cussing everyone out all the time. But even if he didn't cool his jets, it'd still be hard to imagine NASCAR without him. I am sad to see him go and hope he finds success. And for the charters...they better let Hendrick get grandfathered in. I can't imagine Hendrick without four cars. Well he use to be three car team, until Jeff Gordon talked him into getting Jimmie Johnson to race for them. In turn, Rick Hendrick told Jeff Gordon to put his money where his mouth is. So...Gordon owned half of Jimmie Johnson's car. HA! Well there's my two cents worth whether you wanted it or not...don't go spend it all at the same place. HA! Talking about Hendrick Motorsports...Hendrick driver Kyle Larson will be driving the double tomorrow at the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600. Hope he sleeps well tonight and races great tomorrow! Garage eager to watch Larson attempt Indy, Charlotte double | NASCAR

That's a dumb move to say out loud like that. Everyone will be watching. Though I believe it was Darrell Waltrip who once said it's the drivers who don't say anything about coming back at the other driver after getting wrecked out that are the ones that you should worry about. He probably worded it way different, but that was the gist of it. We will see if he is right. HA! Kyle Busch has always been the aggressor in NASCAR. I was so glad when he left Hendrick...I was equally glad Dale Jr was taking his spot. HA. He has calmed down a lot recently, but obviously not completely. Ricky should never have said that out loud as NASCAR will be watching. Though I guess they'd add one and one together even if he didn't say anything. NASCAR will park him if he does go through with it. Ask Chase Elliott...

I am sorry I failed y'all again. I've been busy and now I have a cold. I missed the race and the challenge...and the fight. Though did see a video of the fight after the race. I found it sad that while they were celebrating Joey Logano's win, the camera was too busy showing the fight. Or at least that is what the video I saw was, hopefully it wasn't like that during the race. I'm definitely not a Joey Logano fan, but at the same time, the race should be about the racing and the winning. Not about the fight. Though did find it funny during the video one of the commentors said that Ricky Stenhouse Jr didn't touch Kyle Busch during the race. Then the other one said that he did and the other guy said yeah he punched him. HA. I'm not a Stenhouse Jr or Kyle Busch fan, but it all shows one thing...Kyle Busch doesn't change much. HA. Talking of which. Stenhouse Jr got fined $75,000 while two of his crew members got suspended. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. fined $75K for All-Star brawl | NASCAR

DEI is Dale Earnhardt Inc. It is the company Dale Earnhardt created and intended to hand down to Dale Earnhardt Jr who raced the #8 for DEI. Then Dale Sr died in a racing accident before he could do that. Teresa is Dale Sr's wife and Dale Jr's step mom who refused to give Dale Jr the money and treated him poorly. She refused for him to race with the number 8 when he left the company and raced for Hendrick so he raced with the number 88. She has ruined DEI...I am sure Dale Sr is rolling in his grave how she handled his company and his son... Sorry for the repeat answer. I didn't see it was answered.

Sadly Teresa is killing it or has killed it.

Garrett and Roy silently make their way down along side the cave on opposite sides. As Garrett reaches the bottom he watches as Roy skids down and quietly yells at him to be quiet. As Roy finds his place he waves the recorder in the air before placing it on the side of the cave and shows Garrett that there is a blank tape in it before closing it and pressing record. Garrett rolls his eyes at him before voices in the cave catches their attention and Garrett gives Roy a thumbs up. "What are we doing in these here caves, Boss?" Rosco is heard saying as movement within echos off the walls. "What you think, numbskull?" Boss' recognizable voice thunders in the cave. "We are hiding out until Cousin Cletus and Deputy Enos arrest Bill, his crooked crew chief, and the entire Duke clan!" Boss laughs smugly. "I can see it now, Rosco. The headlines will read: NASCAR legend Bill Elliot and his crew chief are behind bars for stealing money from a small local town that was already struggling to survive!" More laughter erupts. "Meanwhile, they will get locked up in Atlanta with the Dukes. Bill and his crew chief will probably get bailed out, but their names will be mud after this. No one will pay to see crooks like them race until they are sentenced for twenty years. The Dukes will be in jail from here on out until they are released in twenty years." More laughter, "Life will be magical, Rosco!" "That sounds lovely, Boss," Rosco laughs in return, "but one question, Boss." "You and your stupid questions. Sure would be nice if for once you'd keep up along with my plans and follow through with them," Hogg protests, "What's your stupid question?" "I don't have a stupid question, Boss. I have a question," Rosco argues. "Just say it, already," Boss yells and the aroma of cigar smoke fills the air. "What money did Bill and his friend steal?" Rosco naively asks, "And what did the Dukes do to play part of it? I mean Bill came to race in your race. He brought you the crowd, the money. Why would you want him in jail for?" "Boy Rosco. You do get dumber and dumber by the day," Boss snorts out, "this money, you numbskull! But we are going to say we found it in his car and that he stole it. The Dukes are hiding and helping the fugitive out. Heck, they probably helped him get the money. This whole thing is going to erupt and we will come out smelling like roses and looking like the good guys. Meanwhile they'll be in jail and out of our hair!" "But Boss," Rosco speaks up, "but you ain't got much hair." "Shut up already, Rosco. We've been through this already. I want Bill and the Dukes in jail. I'll get their farm and make it into a car dealership of Hazzard. And no more pesky Dukes getting into my business. Or no more of Garrett's rotten attitude," Boss states in the cave and Garrett gives Roy a smile and a thumbs up, "he should have been arrested before all this started." "I tried, Boss. You wouldn't let me, remember?" Rosco innocently asks. "You hush!" Boss yells before his CB starts to crackle. "Cousin Boss. You there?" comes Cletus' familiar voice. "This is he. Watch your tongue and tell me what you have," Hogg hisses into the CB of the car that he has parked in the cave. "Please tell me you are on your way with the criminals to the jail." "Um," Cletus stutters on the CB, "not exactly." "Not exactly?!" Boss' voice thunders against the walls of the cave, "What's that mean?" "Well the one with dark hair says we can't arrest them when they have evidence that they didn't steal the money," Cletus shly responds on the CB. "Evidence? What evidence?" Boss yells into the CB, "There is no evidence, you numbskull! They stole the money. Go and arrest them and I will deal with them!" "Um yes sir Cousin Boss," Cletus hangs up with uncertainty in his voice. "What is he talking about, Boss?" Rosco questions. "Well I assume the dark hair one being Luke. But there is no evidence. He's bluffing," Boss snorts, "but he is throwing a curve ball. Your deputies may need help. I'mma stay here with our evidence. You will need to go help Cletus and Enos to arrest the Dukes and Elliott." Garrett eyes Roy with wide eyes and motions for Roy to go up and into the woods. Roy and Garrett then quietly move from their area and climb up the hill and into the woods where they meet up with each other above the cave and behind some big bushes and trees just as Rosco backs out of the cave and drives away. "Dang it," Roy cusses, "he's gonna see our truck." Garrett nods as he watches the patrol car go up and past their truck and on the direction to where the Dukes are with Bill and a moment later they see Hogg urgently leave the cave and glance around the area. "Rosco must have called him over the CB when he saw our truck," Garrett whispers as Hogg disappears within the cave after a couple of minutes, "OK we need to run up to your truck and make to them to give the tape to Luke." Roy stares at Garrett in disbelief. "You really want to go to jail, don't you?" he finally hisses, "I rather you wouldn't take me with you." "Kinda too late to chicken out now, Roy. But if you wish I can do it myself," Garrett begins to rush towards the truck, making sure to stay covered. As they get into the truck, Roy turns it on and yanks the steering wheel to turn around and to follow the same direction as where Rosco had went. "I'm here. I'm just not as bold as you want to be," Roy reluctantly says handing Garrett the tape recorder. "I appreciate your help. Rosco will probably park where we were earlier. We can park up the hill and climb down the other side to get to the Dukes to give them the tape recorder and tape." "Ten four my crazy friend," Roy says.
