LOL . . . well this better not be one of those times. You now got my hopes higher than the sky! Though we are racing at Talladega this weekend. He'll have to avoid "the big one" in order to win. But you said, he's going to win the rest of the year. By golly...he has to win the rest of the year. LOL.

I say that, but one year NASCAR made changes to the restrictor plates and it was a pretty boring race. Tony Stewart even was pretending to sleep through it. Hopefully there is a happy medium. LOL.
April 21, 20242 yr In F1, it was the Chinese Grand Prix this weekend. I'll start writing reports again when someone other than Max Verstappen wins a race! The next one is in Miami in two weeks' time.
April 21, 20242 yr Author Well Sunday seems to be my new grocery shopping day for some reason. So I missed the race. Again. What a failure I am. Michael McDowell won the pole. Kyle Larson got penalized for an qualification inspection infraction. His car chief got ejected as well. He had to start the race with a drive through penalty. He did get his lap back due to being the only car a lap down. In the end, Tyler Riddick won the race. Chase Elliott finished 15th...

April 22, 20242 yr I checked in once in awhile to see the places but didn't see a lot of it. Feeling pretty decent today so I worked outside most of the day....at a slow pace. Thanks Garrett.

So hard to stay inside when it's nice out. You are welcome.
April 22, 20242 yr I had plans to watch both Talladega races this weekend but watched about 5 minutes of each of them . Saturday I was busy mowing lawns till about 6 and when I got out of the shower caught the last gwc start and end of the Xfinity race. Sunday celebrated a friend's birthday so just caught a few laps here and there. NASCAR related news....I stopped at a garage sale over the weekend and scored some NASCAR cars, Bill Elliott's 94 McDonald's Mac Tonight, Kyle Petty Coors 42 and a Richard Petty car and hauler collector's set. Lady gave me a great deal on the Bill Elliott car and Kyle Petty car but I paid almost full price for the Richard Petty set.

They had a 70's Torino one, I forget the name of the driver but recognized is was a Junie Dunlavey owner car but I didn't want to pay that much for it. Someone came by after I did Saturday and cleaned out most of the NASCAR cars they had as I went back Sunday for the Richard Petty set. Her husband was a fan of the Petty's, Earnhardt's and Jeff Gordon. Most of the Petty and Earnhardt stuff is gone, they still had plenty of Jeff Gordon diecasts though lol.

She had Jeff Gordon and you didn't get any? What's wrong with you? LOL. (I say that jokingly. . .I guess we can't all have great NASCAR taste ) I'd have bought all Jeff Gordon stuff. LOL. Though Petty and Earnhardt (Jr) is great too.
April 27, 20242 yr Wait what? You like Jeff Gordon more than Cale Yarborough? What is wrong with you? LOL. (I say that jokingly...we can't all have great NASCAR taste.) Sorry Garrett. Couldn't resist!

I didn't get into NASCAR until the Dukes were on TNN and it was Jeff Gordon who roped me in. So yeah...he will always be my all time favorite. HA .

Since you are rooting for Chase Elliott now I guess you can't be all bad.

I appreciate that, Roger :). I missed the race. Had a birthday lunch. But I did hear that Denny Hamlin held off Kyle Larson to win the race. So whoever it was who said they liked Hamlin (Sorry) you should be happy. Chase Elliott finished fifth...

April 29, 20242 yr Yeah it was another snooze fest between the leader and 2nd place that couldn't pass due to the lousy aero of this generation of car. Kyle Larson got within a car length of Denny then got stalled out. Mike, Kevin and Clint tried to make it exciting and seem like Kyle could pass Denny but I knew what the outcome would be. Like many of the driver's have said lately if you're the leader with 5 - 10 laps to go you'll most likely win if there's no cautions because no one will be able to pass you unless by some chance they have tires with way less laps on them.
April 30, 20242 yr Kevin Harvick will be getting behind the wheel of a Cup car again to qualify Kyle Larson's car for the All Star race since Kyle Larson will be qualifying for the Indy 500. Kyle Larson will be able to make the all star race from Indy qualifying though. https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2024/04/28/cup-series-2024-all-star-kevin-harvick-standby-kyle-larson/
May 3, 20242 yr Unfortunately Shane VanGisbergen will not be taking part in the All Star Race in a few weeks https://www.jayski.com/2024/05/01/shane-van-gisbergen-will-not-compete-in-all-star-race/ unless another team steps up with a spare car or a sponsor steps up.
