This week, the Trifecta returns to Atlanta- home of that paragon of Southern virtue and charm (not to mention the namesake of our favorite beagle), Katie Scarlett O'Hara.
This week's featured races are:
The Nationwide Series race from Atlanta. The green flag drops Saturday night at 7:16pm ET.
The Camping World Truck Series race from Iowa. The green flag drops Saturday night at 10:02pm ET.
The Sprint Cup Series race from Atlanta. The green flag drops Sunday night at 7:46pm ET.
The Rules:
1. For the Nationwide race, you must pick a driver who DOES NOT run full time in the Sprint Cup series.
2. Please post any driver changes on this blog. Changes for a race can be made right up to the time for the green flag. As long as your post is time stamped BEFORE the time listed for the green flag , it is a valid change.
Good luck, and let's go racing!!!

ReplyDeleteNNS- Brad K
ReplyDeleteTruck- R Hornaday
Cup - Kyle Busch
But pulling for Bill, Reed and David.
That rule in NW is going to hurt when we have 14 cup drivers this race and 10 of them being top cup drivers. Only 3 NW drivers where in the top 10 at Atlanta 2008 and in 2007 none made the top 15.
ReplyDeleteI guess I go with Brad Keselowski for now in NW.
Thanks for doing this and I don't mean to be a pain in the a&&, I can see the rule if we have only a few cup drivers like most races, but +10 great teams to 3 or 4 is alot.
Cheers2All and goodluck,

Cup - Mark "the man" Martin (I may have just invented that nickname)
broomy; "the man" is what Mark Webber gets called by me to counter that idiotic name JR, Jimmy and Kenny insist on using for Mark Martin....NASCAR Victory Lane has never sounded so good when muted *contented sigh*

ReplyDeleteCR....I stole your first 2 answers but are you sure you want to go with Jimmy?lol TEZ, change it to Kyle!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, for a while there,it looked like a 3 person race between RA6AN, CR, and Beverly. RA6AN dropped out when CaVCrl ran over some debris. That left CR and Beverly to fight it out for the win; however, CR's chance at the win snapped along with JJ's axle. Just when it looked like Beverly was going to take the win, Kyle had handling issues after a pit stop, leaving the door open for the fearless beagle to come in and grab the win. The results:
