Greetings, race fans!! The NASCAR season is winding down with 3 races left on the schedule. That means three more opportunities for Hanny to capture another Kylefecta. The F1 season is also coming to its conclusion with 2 races left.

In the chase for the coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy, CR, Tez, and Kristen are tied with 5 wins each. Hanny is hot on their heels with 4 wins, and Moseby still has a shot at the title with 3 wins.

1.) The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Texas, Friday November 5; green flag drops at 9:19pm ET (entry list)

2. The NASCAR Nationwide Series race from Texas, Saturday November 6; green flag drops at 1:11pm ET (entry list)

  7. You guys didn't hear? Denny is giving up the Chase for the Cup, and going to drive for the new Toyota F-1 team.

    No? Okay, give me Denny in the Cup race then.

    To those of you who offered opinions on Talladega picks, we stuck with our original choices of McMurray, Stewart, and Harvick with Kevin as the bonus pick. Katie has now moved up to 8th in the standings. Thank you everyone for your input.

  13. Ms. SB...

    I'm gonna jump ship on the Golden Jack Ass sponsored by a Duck (Carl Edwards) in the NWS race and jump into the KYLEFECTA. I'll take Kyle across the board. I know it's darned improbable for once in a season... but twice??

    Thank you very much!

  14. Dwindy-

    Change noted (likewise, CR)

    I guess you missed the discussion on Hanny's Talladega RSO blog. Just in time for Christmas, AVON introduces Turn 4XT, the new fragrance from Carl Edwards.

    (Oh, and Hanny, AVON will also be offering NASCAR watches featuring drivers Jimmie Johnson, Dale Earnhart Jr, and Tony Stewart. Maybe that second cousin or great aunt will opt for the watch instead of the cologne.)

  21. After two oomplete-

    dwindy 3
    klv 4
    sb 5
    moseby 7
    tez 8
    athens 12

    Looks like CR is working on another perfect score,

    Tez has finished his race card for the weekend and will be anxiously awaiting the outcome of the Cup race.

    Athens has had to cut back on expenses, so she has no internet. She can still get Facebook through her cell phone.

  22. Athens is smarter than our leadership in DC. At least she knows when it's time to cut back spending!

  23. Well, well, well. You think the Cup race is close? We have a four way tie in the Trifecta standings as Hanny captures his 5th win of the season.

  24. Should it become necessary, the tie breaker for the championship will go as follows.

    1.) perfect scores
    2.) number of 1st place drivers picked
    3.) number of 2nd place drivers picked
    4.) number of 3rd place drivers picked

    If there is still a tie after all that, duplicate trophies will be awarded.

  25. 4 way tie, with 2 to go... Wow! Good job Gene. Thanks SB!

  28. Thanks to the man on the pit box, the crew just did a super job, and thanks to the boys back at the shop. Thanks to all my sponsors (chug Coke here), and my team owner just for giving me a chance.

    And, thanks to Speedy for doing all the work!
