Alright, so you wanna know who got that pole thingy in the NASCAR race today, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it’s like this… these fellas, they drive around in circles real fast, and the one who does it the fastest in the beginning gets that pole. It’s kinda like… you know, when you’re plantin’ corn, and the fastest one gets to pick the best spot to start. Somethin’ like that.
Now, I heard on the radio, them fellas talkin’ ‘bout some fella named… Alex Bowman. Yep, that’s the name. He got that pole at the Bristol place. Night race, they said. Bass Pro Shops somethin’ or other. Sounded fancy. They was sayin’ he was real quick. Faster than a chicken hawk after a field mouse, I tell ya.
Then there was another race, down in Martinsville. A fella named Martin Truex Jr., yeah, that’s him. He got the pole there. They said he went around real fast, like 96 miles an hour or somethin’. That’s faster than old man Jenkins drivin’ his tractor on the highway, that’s for sure.
And wouldn’t you know it, this Martin fella, he’s gonna stop racin’ all the time after this year. Said he’s retirin’ or somethin’. But before he goes, he got himself another pole, down in Phoenix. Championship race, they called it. So he’ll be startin’ first, right up front, like the rooster in the hen house.
So, to make it simple for ya, it depends on which race you’re talkin’ about. Bristol? That was Alex Bowman. Martinsville and Phoenix? That was Martin Truex Jr. He got two poles! Good for him, I say. He’s probably got a whole mess of kids and grandkids to feed, needin’ all that winnin’ money.
- Bristol: Alex Bowman got the pole.
- Martinsville: Martin Truex Jr. got the pole.
- Phoenix: Martin Truex Jr. got the pole.
These fellas, they drive in circles, and folks cheer ’em on. I don’t get it half the time, but it’s their job, I guess. Just like my job was milkin’ cows and tendin’ to the chickens. Everybody’s gotta do somethin’ to put food on the table, right?
Anyway, that’s the story as I heard it. Fast cars, fast fellas, and that pole thingy. It’s all a bit much for an old lady like me, but I try to keep up. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my biscuits in the oven. Don’t want them burnin’ up like rubber on a hot racetrack. Hope that answered your question, now go on, get outta here, you’re botherin’ me.
And remember, things change faster than a blink of an eye in them races, so who knows who’ll get the pole next time. It’s anybody’s guess, like tryin’ to predict the weather around these parts. One minute it’s sunny, the next it’s rainin’ cats and dogs.
So, if you wanna know for sure, you gotta listen to that radio or watch that there TV. They’ll tell you all about it. Them fellas with the microphones and the fancy suits. They know everything, or at least they act like they do. Just like that know-it-all preacher down at the church. Always talkin’, talkin’, talkin’.
Well, that’s all I got for ya. Go on now, and have yourself a good day. And don’t forget to say your prayers. You never know what might happen out there on the road, whether you’re racin’ cars or just drivin’ to the store for a loaf of bread.
