The Trifecta- When Irish Eyes Are Smiling Edition

Greetings race fans. This week, the Trifecta takes us to the Irish Hills of Michigan for Nationwide and Sprint Cup action, while the IndyCar boys and girls are living it up on beer and brats in Milwaukee.

Before we get to the races, the Commissioner of the Trifecta has a message-

There is no truth to the rumor that Dwindy was assessed a secret fine. If that were true, then the Beagle would have had her contacts replaced by now. There is, however, buzz that a copy of Chad Knaus's book, How to Cheat and not Get Caught, is making rounds in the garage area. This is a prohibited book, and anyone caught with a copy will be dealt with severely. If you do have a copy, please leave it on the steps of the black, tan and white hauler and no questions will be asked.

This week's line up: 1 SB 2 tez 3 moseby 4 CR 5 kristen 6 jon 7 Hanny 8 Dwindy
