But...how did my NASCAR News thread go from NASCAR to Covid? Who is trying to politicize my beloved NASCAR?

There is 43 more LOOOONNNNNGGGGG days until the Daytona 500!!!!

When I had first heard of Dewey....many years ago, I already knew his cousin, ( Brother?) Hughie, I wondered if there was a Louie, that we'd hear from later if the show had survived longer? Remember Donald Duck's 3 nephews?

The American Andretti Global team have partnered with General Motors with the aim of joining Formula 1. If their bid is successful, they will race under the Cadillac name. With all the formal processes they'll have to go through, it won't be until at least 2026. That's the same year that Audi will start using their own engines, although their takeover of the Alfa Romeo/Sauber team is already under way. Full story here.

Getting the vaccine was a tough decision. I never got any of the shots. Ended up with covid in April 2020 and then again in Oct 2022. No symptoms that were very severe. I see a lot of conspiracy theories that people are dying from blood clots from the MRNA covid vaccine but I'm not buying any of those theories.....YET. I hope there is nothing to them. Most everybody I know got the jabs. Anybody ever see the movie "I Am Legend"? It's just a movie but has a pretty good message behind it. It's best to go slow with decisions if you have that luxury. 

Sounds like a perfect idea! LOL 

I really hope not...but I wouldn't be surprised either. 

I'll guarantee years from now, we'll find out about something bad  happens because of the vaccine...." Well, you see, we didn't know at the time, that....."

I know someone who died and a couple of others who almost died from it. I did get the first two shots because I thought where I worked at the time would prefer it ...but refuse to get any more shots for it. So maybe this is my ghost as well...LOL. Really hated how it affected my sports...

Sorry guys I missed this post.  Me and Lulu were celebrating on Wednesday and counting all the cash.  Roger and Hobie thank you so much for the kind words.  I'm still going to charge you double for watered down drinks at the Boars Nest. lol
Roger, Way back in the 80's when I found out I shared a birthday with Sorrell Booke(Boss Hogg) I was thrilled and I still am.  A few years ago my wife made me a birthday cake with 'Happy Birthday to me and Boss Hogg'.  

No no....I just think that Covid crap was blown way  out of proportion and everybody gleefully went for it!
 

Um...is that an insult to NASCAR or racing?  I might have to prepare to fight if so. HA HA. 

How about a story where Boss and Rosco frame the Dukes for a crime.  Oh, that's been done a zillion times. lol

If you change your mind I would be interested. But we could make a deal that there is no pressure. If someone doesn't respond right away the other person would be fine. In fact, a slow pace might be to the liking of us both. And there would also be no pressure to write long posts....but the person could If they wanted. I guess a slow relaxed no pressure fan fic is better than none. Think about it. No pressure to say yes!

It's Ok. I haven't had much time this week to even think about it so maybe it was a bad idea anyway. Thank you for responding, Roger.

There were only 22 races in 2022, so even if the Chinese Grand Prix isn't replaced, we still get one more race this year.

I stayed up until midnight but missed the ball drop because it happened at the very second that Ohio State missed the field goal. I'm rooting for Georgia in the championship game. I am a Georgia resident in my heart. Hazzard County that is. 

Skipper is pretty good at it. I'll give it some thought if he doesn't want to but for the moment I'm leaning against it. Still, I just might.

I haven't written anything in forever nor have I watched much Dukes (I am ashamed of this all) but really do miss them both. I don't have much time on my hands, especially once classes start up again, but was wondering if anyone would want to think of a story idea with me and write a little DOH fan-fic with me?  If not, that is OK too. Just thought I'd ask...  

Happy New Year! Did anyone do anything to celebrate? We had our Christmas today. It was pretty relaxing and went well. Sad to go back to work tomorrow. LOL

That would be awesome! They use to race something like that back in the day with a couple of races a week or so if I heard right. It was before I started to follow it...just my luck!

Well this is more like fake news, but I find NASCARcasm to be pretty funny.

I don't think racing would be the same racing in the snow...

I am sorry to hear that Hoss. That's got to be frustrating as a fan to be shortened a race like that. I experienced that with baseball this year or last year due to their contract talks and so forth. But it was more like three months shorter. LOL. I was not happy at all.
