baseballfan44-Thanks for the review. Since it's supposed to be that Bo's nervous, that's the reason Luke isn't racing with him.

DixieDavenport- thanks for the review. Like I said to baseballfan44, I had to make it that Luke wouldn't be racing cause there had to be a reason Bo was nervous. So I thought of a reason as to why Luke wouldn't be there.

Bo didn't have a restful sleep that day. No matter how hard he tried, he kept having nightmares of what might happen on the track. Luke had waken up the next morning and saw that Bo was finally asleep. Thinking it would be best for him to sleep a little longer, Luke left him alone and went to go have breakfast with Uncle Jesse and Daisy.

"Luke, is Bo awake?"

"No Daisy. He was having trouble sleeping last night and it looks like he just finally fell asleep so I figured let him sleep in just a little bit longer. I'll wake him up when Breakfast is ready."

"Do you know why he was having a restless night?"

"Well I don't know for sure but I think he's nervous about the race. You know first time racing and I won't be in the car with him. But he's a great driver and he'll do great."

"You know Luke, maybe if the three of us talk to him, it'll calm his nerves and he'll have no problem driving today."

Don't you ever consider givin' up,

Bo finally woke up and came out for breakfast. After breakfast, Uncle Jesse, Daisy, and Luke thought it would be good if each of them talked to Bo separately, hoping that it would give him confidence before racing.

The first one to talk to him was Uncle Jesse. "So Bo what seems to be on your mind?"

"Uncle Jesse, I know I'm ready for this race, I've been waiting for a chance like this. But it just doesn't feel right racing without Luke."

"I know you would rather race with Luke, but it was his choice not to race this time. He knows that this is your chance at your dream and wants you to do this on your own."

"I know Uncle Jesse, I just think that….I don't know. What if I mess this up? Uncle Jesse I don't think I can do it."

"That's nonsense. You know you can do it and we all know you can do it."

Bo gave a little smile, "Thanks Uncle Jesse that helped a little."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daisy came in to talk to him after and while her talk helped as well, Bo still was a little nervous. If there was anyone who could get him out of this, it would be Luke.

"Bo, stop doing this to yourself, you'll be fine."

"But Luke you've always been with me in a race. Why don't you ride along with me again?"

"Not this time Bo. It's your dream to be a professional racer and this is your time. Now I want you to go out and there and give it all your best. We'll be right there cheering you on."

Bo smiled, "Thanks Luke, you know for always being there."

"Hey, anytime that's what family's for. Now come on we got a race to go to."

Alright you know what to do….review if you want to read the next chapter J
