Garrett Duke got a reaction from RogerDuke in NASCAR news
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...

And after that is the infamous Buttermilk 4.00. I wonder if anybody will make it around the barn all 4 laps this year.

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.

The daylight scheduled Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead turned into a night race after several weather delays. Denny Hamlin dominated the race winning both stages and of course the race. Tyler Reddick though is the one that stole the show in my opinion. He fought for the lead several times once he made his way from 24th and ended up finishing 4th. Chase Elliot finished 2nd, Ryan Blaney 3rd and Aric Almirola rounded out the top 5. Tyler's RCR teammate Austin Dillon finished 7th. Jimmie Johnson did not have a good race, started 9th and quickly dropped to the 20's and ended up finishing 16th.
Dale Earnhardt jr in what may be his final race finished 5th in Saturday's Xfinity race. He would have finished 2nd behind his teammate but a late caution and lousy restart killed his team's luck.
Forgot to mention Nascar gave 1000 tickets to military for the Homestead race and will have 5000 fans in attendance at Talladega next weekend.

I'm just now putting the finishing touches on my specially designed Moonshine Mopar! I'm going to give the boys on the track a run for their money! :)

Garrett Duke reacted to HossC in NASCAR news
We've mentioned a couple of historically famous non-NASCAR drivers recently, so I thought I'd share a quote from another that I heard last night. Juan Manuel Fangio dominated the early years of F1, winning the World Drivers' Championship five times in the first decade. Here's his quote:
"Driving fast on the track does not scare me. What scares me is when I drive on the highway I get passed by some idiot who thinks he is Fangio."

Hey Garrett, you know how i am ( how Hobie the town drunk is...not really me) ....you've come back at just the right time. I've built a race track behind my Car lot and I'm going to be holding races this season all leading up to the 1st annual MoonShine 400! It's a little more dangerous than regular car races. We only drive with one hand. The other hand stays on our Mason Jars!

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.

Garrett Duke got a reaction from Roth Potter in NASCAR news
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...

You can make up for it by stopping by and saying hi at least a couple times a week. LOL. I was getting a little worried about you!

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?

I still wear my Dukes stuff in public and have never had any problems or comments. If I ever do I've already thought of what I'll say. I love to confuse people with logic.....great to hear from you Garrett. I see we're tied for first in your fantasy baseball league....along with everybody else...we're also tied for last.

I've taken my DoH shirts out of rotation for a while cause I just don't want to deal with the questions or accusations while I'm out running errands at stores even though neither shirt has a confederate flag. There's an african american guy that works at one of the local stores I go to that grew up on the dukes too, we had a chat about the show one time when he seen me wearing one of my shirts. He still wants a 68-70 Charger in orange .
