The Trifecta- We're Off to See the Wizard Edition

"As mayor of the Munchkin City, in the county of the land of Oz, I welcome you most regally..." to this week's Trifecta.


That's right race fans. NASCAR clicks its heels three times and returns to Kansas for two of this week's featured races.

Before we get to this week's races, however, I'd like your honest thoughts on last week's "Build Your Own" format. There are a few more weekends this season where there will be at least four races, and sometimes it's not easy trying to decide which races to choose.


Now on to this week's races:

First up is the NASCAR Nationwide race from Kansas Speedway; the green flag drops Saturday 10/3 at 3:46pm ET. You may not pick the same driver for both the Nationwide and the Cup races.

The second race is the F1 Japanese Grand Prix; the green flag drops Sunday 10/4 at 1:00am ET.

The last race is the NASCAR Sprint Cup race from Kansas Speedway; the green flag drops Sunday 10/4 at 2:16pm ET.


Good luck, and let's go racing.

  7. Thanks for the input, CR. I liked it, too. Some weeks(like this one), we don't have a choice, but I think for weeks that there are more than 3 races on the schedule, it's the way to go. That way,everyone can follow the races they are interested in.

  18. Well, I'm looking good for the F1 race. Vettel grabbed the pole.

  19. SB... When you post the results, could you include the Cup picks. I'll need to change my driver for a chance to win, and it'll help to see who picked who in your post. Thanks...

    Congrats to Vettel. Strong performance!

    2. Jon464 - 7 - Vickers
    3. CR Racing - 10 - Tony - 1 win

  21. Thanks, F2.

    CR- You are safe with Tony as the tie breaker will go to you because you posted before Beverly.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thanks F2 & SB! Mark Martin "Super Turtle" is probably going to win. I should drop Smoke for him, but I refuse to! Go Tony, Go Ryan!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Looks like Jbroomy's going to win--Vickers is 32nd. Vickers has been fighting an ill-handling car.

    Kristen- I know you're leaving for Oz for the next two weeks, but if you want to leave picks for the next two races, just leave a post or send me an e-mail. And don't forget to say "hi" to the wizard for me. What do you mean, she's not going to THAT Oz??? Nevermind.
