The Trifecta- It All Comes Down To This Edition

Greetings, race fans and welcome to the final Trifecta of the 2011 season. NASCAR has finally gotten what it wanted when they came up with the Chase; unfortunately for the Trifecta, there's no such drama here. Dwindy seized control of the standings early in the season (despite his protestations that he didn't have a chance) and claimed the Coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy in mid October.

We still have a three way tie between Tez, Hanny, and Dwindy for the most pathetic score of the season- 68. Again, if you would like to go for that trophy, you may only use ONE start and park (or wreck) driver.

This week's line up: jon moseby Hanny Dwindy SB CR tez kristen

This weeks races:

1.) The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race, Friday November 18; green flag drops at 8:18pm ET (entry list)

2.) The NASCAR Nationwide Series Race, Saturday November 19; green flag drops at 4:45pm ET (entry list)

3.) The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Race, Sunday November 20; green flag drops at 3:15pm ET.

There you have it. Please check the entry lists for Trucks and Nationwide to make sure that your driver pick IS racing this weekend.

Good luck, and let's go racing!!!

    LOL @ Tez!

    How about this?

    The Denny-fecta!

    I'll take Denny Hamlin across the Homestead board for only the second driver to win all three in a weekend!

    Ok, the people in the brown, tan and white hauler have checked the race results for all three series. Both Norm Benning and Derrick Cope have been running at the end of the race in their respective series. Tez's driver picks constitute a legal entry.

    A note to Tez-

    You'll need to keep an eye on qualifying results to make sure your drivers make the race.

    Jon; I checked the last few races and both Cope and Benning have been between 3 and 10 laps down by the end of the race so I don't think that would class them as S&P :/

    SB is faster out of the hauler than me I see, lol

    will check quals for the grid in case I do need to pick again, no question about that :)

    Has the Beagle been chewing overtime???

  17. tezgm99November 19, 2011 at 6:08 PM

    I think I'll trade Bliss for McDowell since he's usually a good bet for a S&P, lol

  18. jon_464November 19, 2011 at 11:48 PM

    I think that might be the ONLY time we'll EVER see Norm Benning picked for ANYTHING! I knew Benning ran to the end, and I thought Derrike Cope was a start and park driver.

    Dwindy- of course the Beagle has been chewing overtime. Plus copious amounts of duck jerky and duck sauce from our favorite Chinese take-out poured over her beagle chow. And it's DUCK SEASON in the state of Texas.

    The final standings- congrats to jon on his 4th win of the season and congrats???? to tez for getting the most pathetic score of the season. That last minute switch to McDowell did the trick.

    Now Kristen :o)

    Thought for a while that I was going to have to dig Katie's stuffed scallop shell out of the bottom of the toy box when it was rumored that Kurt's debris caused the hole in Tony's grill.
