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.

Hopefully there is a happy medium. LOL. RogerDuke, Skipper Duke and Hobie Hartkins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 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. Skipper Duke, Garrett Duke and RogerDuke 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Duke Posted April 21 Author Report Share Posted April 21 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...

RogerDuke Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 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.

Spike Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 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.

That would have been cool but they didn't have any. 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.

I am sorry to let y'all down, but Cale Yarborough was before my time and way before I got into NASCAR. 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 . RogerDuke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Spike Posted Monday at 12:05 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 12:05 PM 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.

Spike Posted Tuesday at 11:38 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:38 AM 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/ RogerDuke and Garrett Duke 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
