Garrett Duke

I missed that, but that is chilling.  Probably something everyone should consider about life. 

Watching the vehicles behind begin to edge and fight one another, Garrett eyes the open road ahead of him. Though knows anything can happen at any time...

Keeping his attention on the race, Garrett refuses to fall into everyone's competitive talk and pushes the pedal down farther and a hint of a smile crosses his face at feeling the great power of the engine. Passing Jesse, he gives him a slight respectful nod, before speeding up front.

Kyle Busch, two time Cup champ, dies at age 41 | NASCAR
OK y'all...I'll be real honest here, but I have never been a Kyle Busch fan. But this really stinks and hurts. So hard to believe that he's gone.  I've been in disbelief since I heard about his passing. Despite how I or anyone felt about him, he did have a personality that seemed like he'd be here forever. I know I saw a couple of weeks ago that he had called for medical assistance after the May 10th race. I read last night it was for sinus problems. Didn't think much of it until I saw of his passing yesterday.
I really don't know what to say about all of this. Just that it's hard to believe and to accept. So sad for his family, fans, NASCAR...

Definitely a shocker. So sad to hear that his wife, kids and family have lost him and that millions of his fans will never see him race again. 
ABC News showed a snippet of his interview after his last race where he said each win was special because you never know when it will be your last. Chilling.

That's awesome!  I am glad your Chase had a better race.

I forgot to tell you it was a good Saturday for my favorite racer named Chase too. Chase Sexton of Team Green Kawasaki won the last Supercross (inside footall stadiums) race of the season. They now move on to motocross (outdoors). 

I sure hope so! Though Sunday's race doesn't give me much hope for my own. HA (Elliott finished 24th this past Sunday...)

I’m over a month late to this but I just made my second visit to cooters in Luray on May 1st. I was passing through anyway so it was a perfect stop to eat and rest. It was my first time trying the restaurant but it was amazing. Unfortunately all the events were happening at the Nashville location but it’s always an awesome visit. I’m exhausted as well we did 3,000 miles.

Hobie already got a kiss from her as he took off from the starting line! ( That's in case his kiss with Daisy doesn't happen!  ) I gave her a Moonshine Kiss......she likes my Moon recipe, says I make THE best shine! NOW!! A little more prep on my machine and on with the race! Maybe I shouldn't have given Emma a Moonshine kiss.....1.  NOW I'll need to concentrate on winning the race and... 2. watching my back for Cousin  Roger's Revenge ........Cousin Roger's Revenge.....sounds like one of those Sat. evening shows down at the movies!!   3. Emma might like my shine so much she becomes an alcoholic!    

Jesse is really excited about this race. He has never been one to embrace technology but is making an exception. After Rosco caught Elon Musk in the celebrity speed trap, Jesse and the boys broke him out of jail and in order to return the favor, Elon agreed to fix up Emma's dirt bike and convert it into a technologically superior racing machine that is only programmed to dominate races. It simply cannot lose. 
Unlucky for Emma though she broke her collar bone jumping a 60 foot wide creek two days earlier so asked Jesse to take her place. Filled with confidence that technology and AI simply cannot fail, Jesse was already daydreaming about that kiss Emma was going to give him in the winners circle. 

Maybe his win will bring you luck in the Moonshine 400. There is a lot of pressure on the returning champion. 

you got that right! Me and the Moonshine Mauler mean business!! We're gonna mop up the road with you guys and then party on Hobie's shine after, at the Boar's Nest!

I missed it...but my Chase Elliott did win it and I was and still am excited about it. He's a great road racer so I am hoping he'll go for two in a row!

Garrett shakes his head behind the wheel as he hears of everyone's plans and bragging. He had spent all year bettering Spittin' Cobra and while everyone is planning on ways of cheating to win, he knows he will win by his expert mechanical and driving skills. He is happy with everyone's false sense of confidence as he already feels win number two in his steady hands.

Sorry, I'm a little late with my Miami Grand Prix summary, but the result changed slightly after the race, so it worked out in the end.

As before this season, Kimi Antonelli didn't get the best start, and was passed by Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, although Max almost immediately had a spin which lost him several places. In the opening laps, Kimi briefly retook the lead before Charles got it back, and then Lando Norris took second from Kimi. As that was happening, Isack Hadjar hit the barrier and Pierre Gasly flipped over before landing the right way up. Both drivers were fine, but it brought out the safety car.

When the pit stops came around, Charles had a slow stop which slipped him back a little. By about the mid-race point, Kimi got past Lando and Max (who'd pitted earlier). In almost a mirror of Max's first lap, Charles had a spin on the last lap and lost a couple of places.

At the checkered flag it was Kimi in the Mercedes in first for his third win in a row. Behind him were the McLarens of Lando and Oscar Piastri ahead of the other Mercedes of George Russell. Max fought back to fifth, and the video linked below shows Charles ending up in sixth, but a post-race penalty dropped him to eighth behind Lewis Hamilton and Franco Colapinto.

The race highlights are here. There's now a 3-week gap until the Canadian Grand Prix from the Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal.

Did you watch the WURTH 400 in Texas? That was ok but neither one of  my drivers won!
