The Trifecta- The Blackout's Over Edition

Greetings, race fans. It's a great week for the Beagle. On Tuesday, UPS left a surprise package for Katie from Stewart Haas Racing on the porch(they give away swag to fans registered on the website every month, and this month was Katie's turn), and the cable imposed race blackout has ended. Yep, we're doin' the happy dance.

This week's Trifecta takes us to the capital of the Confederacy along with a side trip to St. Louis for our three races.

First up is the Nationwide Series race from Richmond Friday night. The green flag drops at 7:43pm ET.

Next is the Camping World Truck Series race from St. Louis Saturday afternoon. The green flag drops at 2:48pm ET.


Finally, we return to Richmond for the Sprint Cup series race Saturday night. The green flag drops at 7:43pm ET.


The Rules:

You may choose any driver; however, you may not use the same driver in both the Nationwide and Cup races(ex: if you pick Kyle B. for the NW race, you cannot use him in the Cup race ahd vice versa).

Driver changes must be posted to this blog prior to the green flag for the race you wish to change.

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

    Someone needs to take that kid to the wood shed! PUNK! "I ain't scared"... to take out the two leaders in two seperate incidents within a few laps of the finish.

    well, that race will shake the points up....we're all chasing jbroomy I do believe, lol

  31. CR_RacingSeptember 12, 2009 at 2:30 PM

    Since jbroom and I both have Denny for the cup race, I'm changing drivers. All or nothing... KYLE BUSCH.

    ...Still shaking my head after the truck race...

    CR-

    If Kyle wins, you still lose. Beverly also has Kyle for the Cup race, and she's already ahead of you by virtue of Carl's win in the NW race.

    CR is too emotional to make that decision right now. Where's Jon? They can start a support group!lol

    You can't win with Kyle, either.

    10% chance of rain for Richmond, but that 10% is right over the track.

    I have a stupid dinner party to go to tonight so I wont be around for race chat. BUT if it keeps raining I might be home in time...LOL

  42. SpeedBeagleSeptember 12, 2009 at 3:44 PM

    And Beverly-

    I don't know if a support group for CR and jon is a good idea. True, they both know the pain of having a race stolen from theur driver, but jon picked Crafton in the truck race :o).

    Well, another thrilling Trifecta. The Nationwide race had all but 3 of us bunched up at the top. An unpredictable truck race didn't help much; it broke the leaders into two packs. Coming into tonight's race, I expected anything to happen; however, Denny Hamlin decided that this race was his. Denny's win coupled with a win in the truck race gives Jbroomy this weeks' trifecta win.

    The final standings:

    Jbroomy 5
    F2 11
    jon_464 16
    SB 20
    Beverly 23
    moseby 23
    Stork 31
    Tez 31
    Kristen 32
    CR 35
    photogr 37
    Tsfan 41
