This week, all three NASCAR series are racing, as well as the IRL.
In the chase for the coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy, CR still leads the field with 2 wins.
The races:
1.) The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Texas, Friday June 4; green flag drops at 9:19pm ET (entry list)
2.) The NASCAR Nationwide Series race from Nashville, Saturday, June 5; green flag drops at 8:16pm ET (entry list)
3.) The IRL race from Texas, Saturday, June 5; green flag drops at 8:50pm ET (entry list)
4.) The NASCAR Sprint Cup race from Pocono, Sunday June 6; green flag drops at 1:18pm ET (entry list)
Remember, there is no penalty for changing drivers within a race. There is a 5 point penalty for changing races once you have completed a race.
Good luck!
How's the Beagle? Did I tell you when I was a kid I had a hunting Beagle? His name was Peanuts (real original, huh?). I'd take him out to spook jackrabbits. In the tall weeds all you could see was the white tip of his tail going this way and that! Heck of a good dog!
ReplyDeleteOkay, let's go racin'!
Trucks - Almirola!
Nationwide - Carl Edwards! (It's time for him and Ford to get their mojo back!)
Sprint Cup - Kurt (Yes, I didn't mistype) Busch! It's his kind of action...
I'm still pullin' for Kyle, but this is a weird track that calls for weird choices (hee hee)...
Thanks SB!
Hey SB - sorry about the blackout, is Race Buddy back? how annoying...

ReplyDeleteThank you, SB.
ReplyDeleteSB,
ReplyDeleteIf I'm allowed, I'd like to swap my truck race pick over to the Indy cars and take Will Power! That's just what I need!
Thank You!
Dwindy-
ReplyDeleteYou are allowed to make the change; however, there will be a 5 point penalty since the Truck race had already started. If you'd rather stick with your truck pick, let me know before the start of the IRL race.
SB,
ReplyDeleteI'll take the penalty and change. Thanks!

I'll swap Marcos Ambrose for Justin Algaier in the NW race please, SB :)
ReplyDeletehmm, I just realised I've been spelling his name wrong...Allgaier, not Algaier, oops :P
ReplyDeleteI knew I should have switched from Benson to Schrader when I saw he was entered last night! LOL
ReplyDeleteAlthough, both of them proved last night that the driver means more than the equipment.
Bad fire in IndyCar race. Why is it so hard for safety crews to keep their heads, and put the damn fire out? Hope she's ok....
ReplyDeleteI'd wager it's because each member of the safety crew has their own job to focus on, CR...if one person is trained just to get the driver out rather than using an extinguisher, then they might do more harm if they tried to put the fire out *shrugs*
ReplyDeleteSuppose you're right tez. Whoever was "trained" to put the fire out, sure was slow about it!
ReplyDeleteWith everyone having completed one race-

Wow, two players with the chance at the first perfect score of the season. Can Denny bring it home for CR, or will JJ return to VL give moseby the win? Don't count out Tez and the Beagle just yet. They're just waiting for the front runners to make a mistake.
See you tomorrow after the Cup race.
SB, I'll put my hand up and be honest; I should be on 6, not 5 after two races.
ReplyDeleteHelp Mr. Wizard!
ReplyDeleteCan I change to Denny before the green flag?
ReplyDeleteTez- I had heard that Justin finished 3rd, but NASCAR.com has him listed 4th. Change noted.
ReplyDeleteAthens- yes, you can, and I made the change for you.
I recanted, SB. I wasn't thinking. Han has Denny. Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen, we have our first perfect score of the season. Congrats to CR, who now extends his lead in the chase for the coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy.
ReplyDeleteThe final standings:
CR 3
moseby 7
SB 8
Tez 10

jon 22
dwindy1 27
Klv 27
Congratulations, CR!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd WTG, Moseby!lol
So, I'm 5th from first or 5th from last!lol
Wow, that was some finish! I'll side with Kevin, he held his line, and that's all you can expect from anyone running in the top 5 with 2 laps to go. If not, then they should be in another profession. My humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteThanks SB!
Ok, I don't know what's going on here. When they showed the results of the race on "TV", Jimmie was shown in 5th place. Now, the unofficial results on NASCAR.com have him in 29th. I thought he was clear of the wreck or did he run out of gas?
ReplyDeleteCongrats to CR!!! Lighten up on us rookies!
ReplyDeleteWhile Kev did not turn up into Joey....Kev also was not taking anywhere near his (or anyone else's) normal line into that turn. Joey never expected Kevin to keep driving straight past the normal turning point.
nice one, CR! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job, CR
