2026 Moonshine 400

[RogerDuke]

With Emma hanging on tightly Jesse seems happy to be settling for fourth. Considering what he has been through that is quite an accomplishment. 

Then he looks in the rear view mirror and to his horror, sees a challenger to his fourth place goal. It's an Indy car and it's Hoss at the wheel.

"What the -" Garrett lets his sentence drag off in surprise at seeing Hobie flash by him before he straightening up in his seat and aggressively forces Spittin Cobra to forward at somehow a faster pace. "So this is how ya wanna play?" he hisses as he charges alongside Hobie.

Skipper drives up on Garrett. "No way Garrett, you're not gonna beat me!" Decides to play Demolition Derby with Garrett's car.

Well I'm glad your well cousin! ( I was getting a little worried!)  

[Hobie Hartkins]

Right at the last straightaway  on the track and heading for home, Hobie slams his foot down on the gas and prays his engine doesn't explode and that he has enough shine to last and to get his engine to the Finish line and to get him  to the Boar's Nest!  

Hobie crosses the line first and waves at the crowd! When he got out of the Moonshine Mauler,  he went straight in to the Boar's Nest for a cold one and that's where he finally found Daisy and Meadow....sitting  at a table and waiting on HIM! This is when he felt like the race had REALLY been won! ( Although  winning the 2nd Annual Moon Shine 400, was nice too!   ) 

      IT WAS A GREAT RACE BUT THE TOWN DRUNK WON IT!! BETTER LUCK NEXT YEAR GUYS!!  LOL!

Thanks. Three days since the 2 tornadoes and some folks still don't have electric.

Jesse looks ahead and notices there is an intense battle going on for second place. 

He looks behind to see Hoss is serious about taking the fourth place position. He's coming on fast in that Formula 1 car.....or Indy car or whatever it's called. It doesn't look like Hoss can catch him but he is gaining quickly. 

Jesse's mind turns to something else....something that will happen after the race that will have all of Hazzard County talking. He smiles. 

[Garrett Duke]

After finishing the race in whatever position, he ended up in, Garrett watches everyone walking into the Boars Nest to celebrate either a race won or a race fought. Shaking his head he looks at his beaten-up Spittin' Cobra in anger. He raced that race hard and clean and yet still lost and his beloved car took the beaten on due to it all. Feeling his anger toward how he was raced and how his car was disrespected by others around him, he knows better than to step foot in the Boars Nest with everyone celebrating. He takes a long glare at the Boars Nest he shakes his head in disgust before climbing back into the Spittin' Cobra and sighs in relief as it starts right up with a powerful roar. "Good race," he pats the dashboard of his beloved car, "let's go get you fixed up."

With that he drives off towards home where he will work and fix on his beloved car to make it back to perfect once again.

Well cousin Roger, Cousin Garrett  and all the rest, need to meet at the Boar's Nest with Hobie and the others. ( I sure hope Daisy and Meadow are in there! )

It's always a good time at the Boar's Nest.

Oh yes Ma'am! It most definitely is!!  

[RogerDuke]

After finishing fourth Jesse flagged down Garrett and convinced him to change his mind and head into the Boar's Nest with everybody else. 

The three of them walked in together and clearly Emma was excited to be seen with Jesse. 

Right away Jesse silenced the room with his deep authoritative voice. "Now, listen up ya'll. I have an announcement to make but before I do, would somebody please tell me who finished second? Was it Skipper or Garrett?" 

[Hobie Hartkins]

I'm pretty sure it was Garrett because I passed him just as we got  to the finish line. He's a great raced and has an awesome car but  I  had determination on my side, from the butt kicking he gave me last year!!
