1.) If Tez wins, the Trophy is his.
2.) If Hanny wins, the Trophy is his by virtue of the perfect score tiebreaker.
3.) If CR wins, the Trophy is his by virtue of the perfect score tiebreaker.
4.) If Kristen wins AND gets a perfect score, the trophy is hers. If she wins and does not get a perfect score, then we will count 1st place picks (2nd and 3rd place picks, of necessary). If a tie remains after all of that, duplicate trophies will be awarded.
Now on to the races.
1.) The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Homestead, Friday November 19; green flag drops at 8:18pm ET (entry list)
2.) The NASCAR Nationwide Series race from Homestead. Saturday November 20; green flag drops at 4:45 pm ET (entry list)
3.) The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race from Homestead, Sunday November 21; green flag drops at 1:15pm ET (entry list)
Good luck, and let's go racing.
As Jim Morrison would sing, "this is the end..."

NNS---Carl Edwards
Cup---Kevin Harvick
Hey CR-
ReplyDeleteIn a totally off topic note to you, in the Class 2A state football playoffs, Godley will be playing Littlefield tonight(my dad graduated from Littlefield High)
Trucks--Elliott Sadler
ReplyDeleteNNW--Kevin Harvick
Cup--JJ
I need a win to finish strong!!
ReplyDeleteSpeedy, Godley must have grown since I've seen it. I remember going into town with my Grandaddy to fill up milk cans with drinking water for the farm house. My mother grew up around the Brazos country. If I could, I'd move to that part of the world!

you know, if Kyle screws up tonight, Jon and Dwindy are going to be rolling on the floor laughing at the rest of us, lol
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Athens. She's not on the Kyle bandwagon either.
ReplyDeleteIf Kyle screws up tonight, it will make the chase for the coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy that much more interesting :o).
CR- final score from last night: Littlefield 14, Godley 12. Godley had been ranked #2 in Class 2A until last night.
dang, I missed her post....sorry Athens!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Class 2A update SB!
ReplyDeleteWow! That was some driving from Kyle! Does anybody have him for the Cup race? I'm tempted to call for a Kylefecta... Not saying I am... just thinking out loud. LOL
Oh, I see the speedy Beagle picked Kyle for the Cup race. Good choice!

ReplyDeleteThrough turns one and two they're six wide! The open wheelers are scared spitless! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat this? tez has outfitted his rig with Ben Hur wheels!
CR's got his spiked ice racing tires on!
Watch out for that Southern boy from Hanahan South Carolina! He'll give you a punt you'll never forget!
Then there's that sneaky Californian! When you least expect it she'll find that other gear and BOOM! she's way out front!
They've entered the backstretch with the cherished golden Lug Nut on the line! How long can they run side by side? How can CR, Hanny and Klvalus avoid tez's chromed spinning knives? (Some people will do anything to win...)
As the pedal hits the metal we'll see who moves into the lead!
Ben Hur raced clean. It was Messela who had roid rage! lol
ReplyDeleteGeez you're quick CR! I misspelled Klvalus (left out the first "L"... So I'm fixing it and you're LMAO!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah but who remembers his name???
ReplyDeleteYou can silence my lmao, but you can never take my freedom! he he
ReplyDeleteYou're getting your movies mixed up... That was Braveheart... Right?
ReplyDeleteHad to make a pit stop under green for a tire going down! I'm a lap down now!
ReplyDeleteI resent that...as a diehard 'Top Gear' fan, I demand Boudica wheels instead :P
ReplyDeleteYea, Braveheart. William Wallace said in a thick Scottish/Aussie accent; "They can take our lmao's, but they can never take our freedom!" end quote.
ReplyDeleteJon, how can you be a lap down, when the leaders are on the backstretch of the 1st lap? ;)
***DRIVER CHANGE***
ReplyDeleteThought about this long enough. I'm going to deploy the Kylefecta bomb!
Dropping Edwards and Harvick for the remaining races. Kyle is on top of his game right now. Only worry a little about dropping Harvick. I feel kind of like Chad at Texas right now. LOL
hmm, was that a deliberate ploy by CR to switch drivers in the NW race for the sole purpose of covering off Gene and I? I think I'll scour the trifecta rulebook....
ReplyDeleteKiss of Death from CR...LOL
ReplyDeleteTez... I don't mind, I like my chances with Denny. Joe will order Kyle to finish behind Denny if need be.
tez, all I know is, after watching wild Thing last night, and seeing Harvick laying back in all the Cup practice sessions, I figured it was time to change a few parts.
ReplyDeleteSB, after your bazzar day, please note my driver changes. Also, tez is looking for a ruling. lol
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind a rule change for next year....
ReplyDelete***When you change a driver before a race starts, you get a one point penalty added to his finishing position.***
Who's with me?
Kyle himself shot down the Kylefecta after the NW race. He said he wishes he could win Sunday, but he has to play good teammate and help him win one.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he does have a future in F-1?
Trifecta leader tez and all three challengers remain in position to win as they enter turn four and sprint to the finish line! Can tez hold on with Carl in the Sprint Cup race? Will there be a second Kyle Trifecta this year handing the championship to CR? Will Hanny ride Denny Hamlin to a perfect score and the Trifecta championship? Will Klvalus throw a wrench in the works with Jimmie Johnson winning and force a recount to determine the victor?
ReplyDeleteThree wide into the turn with the mystery lady close just behind, the home stretch laid out in front of them, suddenly smoke is pouring out from the cars. They're running so close together it's hard to tell who's in trouble... The thousands of fans in the stands rise to their feet... A nationwide television audience sitting on the edge of their chairs holding the breath awaits the outcome...
The hammer's down with the Lug Nuts' Trifecta on the line!
sort of agree, Gene....though I was thinking along the lines of not switching to someone that's already been picked by more than one person (initial picks are ok), lol
ReplyDeleteAfter two-
ReplyDeleteCR 2
Hanny 2
Tez 2
KLV 4
SB 4
moseby 7
Athens 9
jon 15
Dwindy 16
CR- Craft show is tomorrow, still setting up tonight.
Tez- That's racing.
I thought we were on the second lap, lol. I'll LMAO if Kyle finishes 31st and Kevin finishes in the top 5 tomorrow, just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteYea jon, that would be typical. Are you saying I should go back to Harvick? Tez would throw a hissy fit if I did that! LOL... Just kidding tez! Nope, Kyle's job is to finish ahead of Johnson and Harvick. If they're ahead of Hamlin, that's his problem!
ReplyDelete...at least I hope that's Gibbs game plan!
ReplyDeleteWoo late to the party and teh chariot race - sorry guys! Been stuck at a conference for work for 2 full days...
ReplyDeleteLooks like JJ could win it all for me!! Go VADAR!! =)
Hope to watch some of the race live - gots to do all my thanksgiving grocery shopping tomorrow at some point...
Kristen, watch the race, and go to Marie Callendar's on T-day! Just a suggestion... lol
ReplyDelete=) I don't think my dad can live without his pepperidge farm stuffing CR! Good news bad news, gotta clean the house before grocery anyway so I'll be home for the bulk of the racing!
ReplyDeletePS - I used to be the strawberry pie baker at Marie Calendars when I was in high school! Good times...
not at all, CR....SB wouldn't either as that would allow her back in the race today, lol
ReplyDeleteYea tez... I agree. I think a one point penalty next year for driver changes would be fair. Or, something...
ReplyDeleteI hardly ever know who everybody picked for each race. I pick early most of the time, and don't really notice who picks who, afterward. If someone need's to change a driver, I think it would be kind of strange to penalize them more for picking a driver someone already has. But, a standard substitution penalty is fine with me.
ReplyDeleteWell, Tez wasn't content just to sit back and play it safe. He decided to go at the final Trifecta of the season full throttle. That effort paid off, earning him a perfect score(our 3rd of the season), and giving him outright possession of the inaugural coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Tez and everyone who played this year(everyone got at least one win).
The final standings:
tez 3
klv 6
hanny 16
jon 17
dwindy 21
moseby 21
athens 30
cr 34
sb 36
Thank you SB for putting this together for us!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to tez! My switching drivers cost me 24 points. Penalty enough... LOL
WTG tez... Someday I'll be able to tell people that I know you!
ReplyDeleteI was trying to make you feel guilty and throw you off your game, CR :P
ReplyDeleteand thanks to all for making the trifecta such fun during the year....and a pressure cooker when it's all on the line, lol
ReplyDeleteAthens sez "thank you to SB and Congrats to Tez".
ReplyDeletetez, mind games are part of the game! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks SB for putting this together!
ReplyDeleteTez, congratulations on the title!
CR, all in good fun! (I had an inkling that Kyle was going to pull a dumbass move at some point in the race and cost him a crapload of spots.)
In all seriousness, I was yelling at the TV, "GET OUT OF THE CAR!" when Kyle's car caught fire.
ReplyDeleteWTG TEZ!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least one champ today that we can be proud of!
Well, two champs, counting Speedy! Thanks for making it all happen, SB!
Woot! Congrats to TEZ!!
ReplyDeleteI'll just have to go back to the shop and work harder in the off season so I am able to come back better than ever in 2011...at jinxing!
Much thanks to SB for hosting and keeping all the data straight!
Yeah, I've got work to do, too!
