The Trifecta- Beginnings Edition

Greetings race fans! Welcome to the 2011 Trifecta and the chase for the coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy. Last season furnished us with lots of excitement- from Hanny finally capturing the elusive Kylefecta to Tez holding off a late charge by Kristen to take home the Triple Lug Nut. Who knows what this season will bring?

Let's get to the races:

1.) The Camping World Truck Series race, Friday February 18; green flag drops at 7:52pm ET (entry list)

2. The Nationwide Series race, Saturday February 19; green flag drops at 1:34pm ET (entry list)

3.) The Daytona 500, Sunday February 20; green flag drops at 1:30pm ET (entry list)

The starting line up for this week will be determined by posting order.

Let the fun begin!!!

    Welcome back everyone, and hello to our new player, JD.

    Yay! RA6AN's here! Hope to see you around more often this season.

    Bev(Athens) is still without internet, but is submitting her picks via Facebook.

    Her picks are:
    Trucks- Austin Dillon
    Nationwide- Joey
    Cup- Jamie Mc

    Looks like we're still missing Kristen and moseby.

    Nationwide - Tony Stewart
    Cup - Kevin Harvick
    Trucks - Don't know who is in the field cause the limk wasn't working. Too lazy to look it up myself - LOL! But I assume Kyle is in it cause Gene is going for another Trifecta. So I will lay some money down on Rowdy winning that one.

    I'm guessing Kristen would go Dale Jr and Kurt Busch for the NW and Cup respectively....but do not lock that in or she'll kill me, lol

    The 500's a BIG crapshoot this year. About a dozen drivers can easily win, or get punted out.

  26. tezgm99February 19, 2011 at 5:58 PM

    what a great finish! If the 500 is half as good as that, we're in for a cracking final 10 laps or so :D

  27. klvalusFebruary 19, 2011 at 6:02 PM

    Dwindy told me he wanted to change Smoke for Cousin Carl...hope thats okay!
