Garrett Duke

Go Chase!

I didn't get to watch the All Star race last night...but Chase Elliott won! Woo hoo!
Now only if he'd share some of that $1 million  to his most loyal fan. Me! LOL! 

Great news. The Dukes of Hazzard wouldn't be quite the same if the Duke boys weren't ahead of Rosco kicking dust on him. And NASCAR wouldn't be the same if Chase Elliott wasn't in front of Jimmie Johnson making him smell his exhaust.

Happy news! Jimmie Johnson has been cleared to race this weekend at Kentucky after two negative Covid tests this week.

Scarey stuff. I have lyme disease and a faulty heart valve so I have to be careful and do my best to avoid it. My wife works in a hospital so of course we are concerned and take precautions. Very few people around here are taking precautions though..

Yeah I'll be shocked if they don't cancel MLB and NFL seasons this year. 
My wife's cousin caught it, he's been in bed the better part if the week. His fever finally broke yesterday. He's a strong healthy guy in his mid 40's and he says it's like the worst cold/flu he's ever had. A couple of days he only got out of bed just to go to the bathroom. It's definitely not a virus to take lightly.

I bet you are right. The numbers are spiking (no fault of yours Spike). It's not looking good for any sport in 2020. 

On my way right now...oooo the fun I will have.

Jimmie Johnson has tested positive for Covid after his wife got it. He isn't showing symptoms,  but will be sitting out his first race since his career started 20 years ago. Justin Allgaier will be in the 48 car on Sunday. Tho Johnson won't be getting any points for it. 
Ugh. This 48 fan is just heart broken. Am glad he isn't showing any symptoms and is following the guidelines,  but still...
I'm just done.
Hopefully Elliott will win. That's all I will say...

Sounds like Roger is talking in his sleep again.  He's doing to be disappointed when he wakes up and has to face the reality of him losing to me and my amazing and powerful fantasy baseball team .
 

Hey, this is a fun game. How many ways is it possible to ruin a good NASCAR thread.....on second thought....I'd better be careful or Garrett will start messing with my episode review thread. 

I probably shouldn't ruin a good NASCAR thread by saying how bad I'm going to beat you in fantasy baseball so I'll be quiet now. 

I don't know...but this Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Hendrick Motorsports fan really hopes not. I'm not too big of a Keselowski fan...tho do have more patience for him the last couple of years.
Though I do find it ironic that if it does,  then the guy who he wrecked and got into a fight with a few years ago, would own a majority of his car.
Just my two cents on the topic...

I remember when people used to give the benefit of the doubt, forgive someone's mistakes, and gave second chances. I sometimes give 5 or 6 chances, against my better judgement. I am not a fan of cancel culture. I call it The Church of the Perpetually Outraged. That's a difficult way to go through life. I just don't have the energy for it.

Seen on the local news this morning an interview with some guy that organized a local 'juneteenth' celebration. He said celebrating July 4th is like celebrating slavery and racism. Looks like USA's Independence day is next on the Cancel Culture list.   Yet they have no problem 'celebrating' July 4th by setting off fireworks all night long. 

The world has really gone insane and I come to Hazzard County because it is the only sane place left on Earth....which is why I'm going to start making a better effort to stop posting about the insane world and keep my thoughts in Hazzard. 

I'm allergic to cats so according to politically correct rules that makes you an intolerant hateful person. Your insensitive shirt also doesn't consider the feelings of dog owners so I'm proposing that it be banned. Anybody who doesn't agree with me is evil. Anybody who think that I'm wrong for labeling those people as evil is evil. 

The FBI put out a statement today after investigating. From the evidence (photos/video) they've compiled, turns out, the "noose" has been there since at least October 2019 and was actually a garage door pull. https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/2020/06/noose-found-in-bubba-wallaces-garage-was-there-since-2019-feds-say.html

You'd think someone could have been able to tell the difference between a noose and a rope used as a handle for a garage door. But it sure put Nascar in the headlines this weekend and I'm sure some extra eyes on the race yesterday  .

That last lap sure was exciting especially at the finish line. Ryan Blaney won his 2nd Talladega race by inches. What's really surprising is there was no 'big one' wreck that takes out 1/4 of the cars or more. Ricky Stenhouse jr took 2nd, Aric Almirola 3rd and JGR teammates Denny Hamlin and Erik Jones 4th and 5th. Kevin Harvick's 10th place finish keeps him at the top of point's standings. Next week is a doubleheader at Pocono, Saturday's race will be on Fox and Sunday's on FS1. 
Was interesting to see all the drivers and teams push Bubba Wallace's car down pit road in a show of support and solidarity . 

It's been done before? In NASCAR? 
Found this article this morning.  I love how the drivers and teams support one another in times like this. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-06-23/nascar-champions-stand-with-bubba-wallace/12383798

I saw that. I also just read an article that Bubba Wallace,  NASCAR only African American,  found a noose in his garage area. It just breaks my heart to see things turn to this. I can't even imagine how he must feel.  Things like this is why people assume the flag stands for hate. I really hope they find whoever is responsible for this...

I would think so too because the individual state laws don't matter since that would be a federal crime. There are cameras everywhere so maybe they'll figure it out. It's so sad to see all this insanity going on in the world. Why can't every place be like Hazzard County?
