The Bears can now say that they won every game this year . . . and the Packers have lost every game this year. HA. Gotta look on the bright side. Seriously though, that game was very dramatic how the Bears were ahead for most of the game only for that ugly green team to come out to lead with a minute left and then the Bears end it with a 51 yard field goal at the last second to win the game. So glad they won. At least they end on a good note and something to reflect back on. RogerDuke 1 Quote
Spike Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Dale Earnhardt Jr's JR Motorsports is going cup racing. They will be entering the #40 Chevy in the Daytona 500 with Justin Allgaier driving. Helio Castroneves is also entering the Daytona 500 in the Project 91 Chevy. Mike Wallace on the other hand will not be entering the Daytona 500. In fact they banned him from competing in any NASCAR division series. Reasons unknown but few speculate that he ticked off the NASCAR brass and this is their way of getting back. RogerDuke 1 Quote

Garrett Duke Posted February 5 Author Report Posted February 5 Well y'all I was excited for the NASCAR Clash Race this past Sunday night at the Bowman Gray Stadium...especially since Chase Elliott got the pole. I was all set that this is the year that I get back into actually WATCHING the races and not just following it on my phone as the past few years. Well. . .my TV (or my antennae) ruined all that as it kept kicking me out until I finally gave up on watching it after 30 laps. So I can't really go into detail on all that had happened other than that Chase Elliott started there race on the pole. Chase Elliott dominated the race. Chase Elliott won the race. The race is a pre season race so there was no points on the line and only certain drivers were able to enter. Bowman Gray Stadium is only a quarter mile race track, so you blink, you missed a lap. LOL Cook Out Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium Race Results, Lineup | Official Site Of NASCAR This upcoming weekend may be the NFL Super Bowl game, but the real Super Bowl is the Sunday after that in twelve days...the Daytona 500!!!!

RogerDuke Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 Garrett's 4 steps to a happy 2025 1) NASCAR starts back up 2) The Cubs start playing 3) Chase Elliott wins every race 4) The Cubs win the World Series Garrett Duke and Hobie Hartkins 2 Quote

That would make for a PERFECT 2025! My NASCAR and baseball withdrawals are through the roof right now! Sunday night showed a little hope. The 16th will bring some light. But my true happiness won't settle until baseball starts back up. Then I'll have them both! I hope Sunday night's race is what NASCAR 2025 season will look like. . .I'd be excited for sure! (In other words, not be like my Chicago Bears where they can win every pre season game that doesn't matter but once the season starts, forget how to play as a team and lose majority of the games. So sad and yet so true!) I just hope I can watch some of it...but I am not holding my breath. But Chase seemed to do good without me, so maybe that'll be on his side. Now to get my fantasy NASCAR and baseball into shape! RogerDuke and Hobie Hartkins 2 Quote

Your Pirates can come in second. LOL Hobie Hartkins and RogerDuke 1 1 Quote

Garrett Duke Posted February 12 Author Report Posted February 12 1 hour ago, Hobie Hartkins said: Who do you think will win? That is such a hard question for Daytona. Daytona and Talladega are so unpredictable and anyone has a chance to win if you can avoid the big one. I really hope Chase Elliott will win, but I'll go with William Byron (he won last year) or Brad Keselowski. Hobie Hartkins and RogerDuke 2 Quote
Spike Posted February 12 Report Posted February 12 Could be Kyle Busch's year, similar stats to Dale Earnhardt when he won his only Daytona 500. Winless season last year, 20th Daytona 500, RCR team. I'll be happy as long as it isn't a Toyota though lol. Hobie Hartkins and RogerDuke 1 1 Quote

Spike Posted Sunday at 11:58 AM Report Posted Sunday at 11:58 AM If anyone wants to get their NASCAR fix in before the Daytona 500, @1:30pm eastern today, there's a free NASCAR channel on the free TUBi app. Race on now is the 1976 Daytona 500. Quote
Spike Posted Sunday at 12:16 PM Report Posted Sunday at 12:16 PM At 8:20am the 1959 Daytona 500 highlight reel will be on, at 8:30 1964 Daytona 500 highlight reel. Interesting to see how far safety advancements have come. They just did a safety bit on Richard Petty's Dodge Charger. Back of his seat is just a steel hoop with no foam padding. Quote
Spike Posted Sunday at 12:24 PM Report Posted Sunday at 12:24 PM Interesting to see some teams pit crews in plaid shirts and jeans lol. Quote
Spike Posted Sunday at 01:33 PM Report Posted Sunday at 01:33 PM Wow that Smokey Yunick prepared Fireball Roberts Pontiac had a very distinctive exhaust note. If he didn't have engine issues he would have won that inaugural 1959 Daytona 500, he was a lap ahead of Beauchamp and Lee Petty. Quote
Garrett Duke Posted Sunday at 05:03 PM Author Report Posted Sunday at 05:03 PM That would have been interesting to see, Spike! Today is the day I...I mean we have been waiting for the. The Super Bowl of NASCAR. The Daytona 500! Sadly I won't be able to watch it (even if my TV would pick it up), but I will be following it on my phone. The race will be at 1:30 ET on FOX. The race is set earlier than before as they are predicting rain (go figure. There's a race and there's a chance for rain). The Action Network: Daytona 500 odds, expert picks for Sunday’s ‘Great American Race’ Here is the result from the Duel races that helped set the qualifying order for today's race (the Duels were on Thursday) Results from Duels, official lineup for Daytona 500 | NASCAR Starting lineup for the Daytona 500. Chase Briscoe will lead the field to green this afternoon. Quote
Spike Posted Sunday at 07:01 PM Report Posted Sunday at 07:01 PM What a joke. I turned it off for now, got sick of all the pandering and *** kissing. Was supposed to start early but now they'll be lucky to even beat the incoming rain on the radar. Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote
