I'm posting the Trifecta a day early because I expect there to be some questions about this week's format.
Last week, we had our first perfect Trifecta since the big move. F2 went 3 for 3 with his picks of Kyle Busch (trucks), Scott Dixon (IRL), and Mark Martin (Cup). Will we see another perfect score this week?
This week, the Trifecta will be a "Build Your Own" format. Choose a driver from 3 of the 4 races listed below. Choose your races carefully. Once a RACE is chosen, it cannot be changed. Drivers may be changed up until the time of the scheduled green flag.
Race #1: The NASCAR Nationwide Series race from Dover, Saturday 9-26; green flag drops at 3:45pm ET.
Race #2: The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Las Vegas, Saturday 9-26; green flag drops at 9:49pm ET.
Race #3: The Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix Sunday 9-27; green flag drops at 8:00am ET.
Race #4: The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race from Dover Sunday 9-27; green flag drops at 2:15pm ET.
Good luck, and let's go racing.

I do better on my picks when I don't get to watch or even follow it on the computer in past, last week the first 2 races I didn't get to see and for one reason I didn't get to watch the cup race live and had to watch the reair the next morning.lol
Week before I was doing great till I started to follow the trucks on the computer and my driver was in top 5 and then racing for the win with Crofton. So I am picking the first 2 races I can't watch and will record the f1.lol
Good one SB! I can never pick the Cup race anymore so I'll go with:
ReplyDeleteNNS - Kyle Busch
Truck - Hornaday
F1 - Button
Congrats to F2 on the "PERFECTA!"
hmm, this could be interesting, lol
ReplyDeleteI shall wait until I see some practice times before picking this time :)
Congratulations to F2 on his perfect Trifecta! Here are my choices:
ReplyDeleteTruck--Matt Crafton (gotta go with Ole Reliable!)
F1--Kimi Raikonnen
NNS--Clint Bowyer
I'm changing my NNS pick to Carl Edwards. As far as the other two, I gotta go with the Kimster and the local guy (to me, that is).
ReplyDeletetez-
ReplyDeleteI thought you'd approve of this idea. I'm thinking about doing this for all the weekends that there are more than 3 series running- except for Memorial Day weekend; that will remain the 3 marquee races.
ooo - something new, nice idea.
ReplyDeleteThe three that count
F1 - Kimi Raikkonen
Nationwide - Kyle Busch
Trucks - Mike Skinner
(Cup - Carl Edwards - but this doesn't count)
NNS - Kyle Busch
ReplyDeleteTruck - Hornaday
Cup - Junyer
Nationwide: Kyle Busch
ReplyDeleteTruck: Mike Skinner
Cup: Greg Biffle
NNS - Rowdy Busch
ReplyDeleteF1 - Barrichello
Cup - VIVA MONTOYA! HE IS JUAN!
SB... I'm changing my F1 driver to Sebastian Vettel. He's too fast to ignore!
ReplyDeleteCup Stewart
ReplyDeleteTruck Skinner
NW Edwards
F1 Bordass or Badass I think

ReplyDeleteyou only need to pick 3 of the 4 races. I'll just take the 1st 3 unless I hear otherwise.
The Beagle is going with:
ReplyDeleteNNS- Brad Keselowski
F1- Rubens Barrichello
Cup- Jimmie Johnson
Dover weather report-
ReplyDelete60% chance of rain Saturday
80% chance of rain Sunday
NW - Denny Hamlin...if he fails me like he did at Richmond, I swear I'll spit on any FedEx truck I see from now on.
ReplyDeleteTrucks - will give you a driver once I see some practice times (get your butt in gear, NOL!).
F1 - Hamilton has the KERS while Vettel does not but I'll take the man who would have won last year had Renault got DQ'd....Nico Rosberg.
Speed beage:
ReplyDeleteThat is fine. At one point I was thinking Mikey Waltrip but this was for the winner of the races not the DNF or wrecker.
I'll go with Todd Bodine for the Truck race
ReplyDeleteok, so that was entirely Brad's fault...so buy anything but Go Daddy, yeah!
ReplyDeleteThe Nationwide race is history, and for a while it looked like we would all be stuck behind the Kyle Busch bandwagon; however, Brad Keselowski managed to push his way through the KB juggernaut(and Denny Hamlin- sorry Tez) to give the Beagle the early lead. Jon_464 changed his driver and went from 1st place with Clint Bowyer to a tie for 3rd place with Carl Edwards. Tez won't be registering any domain names with godaddy.com after contact from Brad Keselowski took Denny Hamlin out late in the race, and Ryan Newman had issues with Matt Kenseth sending CR to the basement.
ReplyDeleteThe standings after one race:
SB 3 --
F2 4 Skinner
Klv 4 Hornaday
Jbroomy 4 Skinner
Beverly 4 Hornaday
Tsfan 4 Skinner
moseby 4 --
jon 5 Crafton
photo 5 Skinner
Tez 27 Bodine
CR 30 --
Up next is tonight's CWTS race, where the Kyle Busch bandwagon turns into the Mike Skinner bandwagon. SB, moseby, and CR will be sitting this one out, so updated standings will be posted after tomorrow's F1 race.
Weather report from Dover- 100% chance of rain tomorrow. Will we even see a Cup race???????
ReplyDeletelooks like Las Vegas forgot to pay their power bill for one of their lights, LOLOL!
ReplyDeleted'oh....Nico gets a drivethrough for crossing the pit lane line on exiting. He'll drop from 2nd to outside the top 10 most likely *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWith all players having completed 2 races, the standings look like this-

This is very close with those who are done and those that have cup race to come. I think I am the lowest with 12 points with all 3 races done and have one winner to take tie.
ReplyDeleteSB - 9 JJ needs second place or better to win
Tsfanpc - 11 Biffle needs win to tie
Moseby - 10 Montoya - needs 1st to win
Beverly - 10 Dale Jr - needs 1st to win
F2 - 12 - done
Thats if I got the numbers right SB?
SB,, If by chance Tsfanpc and me end up in a tie having both 1 win. I will give up my spot due to her picking the cup race which has a worst out come then the F1 race over all.
Goodluck to the above and Cheers.
F2- That's what my spreadsheet says, so your numbers are good.
ReplyDeleteF2- That's what my spreadsheet says, so your numbers are good.
ReplyDeleteWell, those last 10 laps, I could hear F2 yelling for something to happen to Jimmie Johnson all the way from England. It just wasn't meant to be as Jimmie came home with the win giving the Beagle her 4th Trifecta win since the move.
