Ok, so we're not Morocco bound, but this week, the Trifecta is road course bound.
Our first race is Saturday's NASCAR Nationwide Race from Watkins Glen, green flag drops at 2:18pmET.
Our second race takes us to Ohio for the IRL Honda Indy 200 on Sunday, green flag drops at 1:45pmET.
Lastly, we head back to Watkins Glen for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Race also on Sunday, green flag drops at 2:18pmET.

On to Ohio---
Hmm, that could be a first SB. Forensic, our local historian would probably remember if it had happened before.
ReplyDeleteWhere is everyone!?!??!
I've been sucked into the Facebook void! I've gotten hooked on a couple games there! I've been a pirate half the day, and a member of the mafia the other half!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the picks everyone!
WOW... I just realised, that even though my driver came in 4th, I'm tied for the 9th spot!
ReplyDeleteCR- Yeah, everybody had a good day in the Nationwide race. Unfortunately, we're all stuck behind the Ambrose and Kyle juggernaut. Hopefully, we can get past them in the IRL race.
ReplyDeleteAfter the IRL race:
ReplyDeleteOnce again, we are on the cusp of our first perfect trifecta here at Blogspot. Burthday girl RA6AN has picked two winners so far. Will the Cupcake turn into a birthday cake, and give her the perfect score?
As for the rest of us, we spread out a little, but it is really still anybody'a game.
RA6AN 2(McMurray)
HotfootLori 3(Stewart)
storkjrc 4(Vickers)
moseby 5(Stewart)
tezgm99 5(Ambrose)

SpeedBeagle 18(Stewart)
Will be back after the Cup- whenever that might be- race to post the final standings
Now that I actually have a decent chance to win this week, is it too late to change my cup pick? the race hasn't started yet. (thanks to the rain delay).
ReplyDeleteIf the rules permit, I'll change my pick to Montoya. He's been running good and he's hungry. If not, then I'll hope for extra good luck for the cupcake. Thanks~
wow, it's tight at the top!
ReplyDeleteNo, RA6AN you have until the green flag drops to change your driver, so I'll scratch Cupcake and put you down for Montoya.
ReplyDeletetez-
ReplyDeleteit's tight all the way through. One wrong move by one of the field fillers, and it's anyone's game.
Ra6an,, Cupcake as a 3rd place finish back in 07... lol. Well I see I can not win even if Ambros wins giving me two winners cause Tez has him as well with 5 points. So I need to chang my cup pick as well.
ReplyDeleteI will take Denny Hamlin with back to back wins.
Goodluck to all.
Ok, F2 I have you down for the Hamster.
ReplyDeleteSince Katie and I are pretty low on the Tony Stewart totem pole, we're changing our pick to Kurt Busch.
what do we do if it's a tie?
ReplyDeleteRA6AN NOT taking a Roush driver?? Now THAT'S news! I figured she'd take Edwards or Biff.
ReplyDeleteJon, don't think it didn't cross my mind. But I had to ask myself, "Who wants it most?"
ReplyDeletetez-
ReplyDeleteif the tie is a result of picking the same driver, the tie goes to the person who picked earliest.
For example, if after the Cup race, RA6AN and HotfootLori are tied(both picked Ambrose in the NNS), the win would go to Hotfoot since she got her picks in before RA6AN. If RA6AN and storkjrc were tied, the win would go to RA6AN.
Are you with me so far? Here's where it gets messy.
If there are no common drivers between the tied players, we look at # of winners picked. If they're still tied, then we look at top 5 finishes. If you're still tied after that, we look at top 10 finished.
After all that if there is STILL a tie, then it is settled on the field of battle in a pie throwing contest.
Any questions????
jon-
ReplyDeleteagreed on RA6AN. I had to do check three or four times when entering the picks in the database for the races. She picked Ambrose in the NNS, and Tez picked Cousin Carl. I thought for sure I had them backwards.
I'm not points racing, I'm going for the win!!! =)
ReplyDeleteUnofficial Results: Congratulations to Lori! Good picks!
ReplyDeleteI concur with RA6AN, nice one, Lori! :)
ReplyDeleteOk, official results-
ReplyDeleteWith several of us making last minute driver substitutions, it really was anybody's game. In the end, it still remained pretty bunched up, but a certain Hotfoot put the pedal to the metal and sailed past the pack for the win.
Congrats HotfootLori!!!!!
As for the rest of us:

Congrats LORI! Way to out manuever all those last minute changes...
ReplyDeleteSpeedy I can't believe you went with Kurt over Smoke...at least he sorta came thru! Thanks for hosting!!
Kristen-
ReplyDeleteLike RA6AN, I was going for the win. I originally picked Tony, but had to find a driver that no one else had picked if I wanted to win.
P.S. Make no mistake, we are doing the Happy Dance around here.
ReplyDeleteHappy Dance here too!
ReplyDeleteThanks y'all, it was fun!
