The Trifecta- The Hills Are Alive Edition

Greetings race fans. This week's Trifecta is an all NASCAR affair with all three premier series seeing action this weekend.

In the chase for the coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy, CR holds a 1 victory lead over Tez and Kristen; however, with 13 more "races" on the Trifecta schedule, it's still anybody's trophy (NASCAR standings should be this close).

On to the races:

1.) The NASCAR Nationwide Series race from Michigan, Saturday August 14; green flag drops at 2:16pm ET (entry list)

2.) The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Darlington, Saturday August 14; green flag drops at 7:48pm ET (entry list).

3.) The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race from Michigan, Sunday August 15; green flag drops at 1:16pm ET (entry list).

Good luck and let's go racing.

  9. foglights are slippery little blighters...was mucking about on the driver side one so I knew what to do when I get one for the passenger side. Managed to get the thing off no problem (ta youtube), then gouged myself twice putting it back in. Good thing it wasn't my writing hand, lol

  26. Bev- I think Joey SUCKS! Gee, what a way to win friends, and influence people... wreck someone, and then go up and tell them they shouldn't race him so hard? What a friggn' wet behind the ears, JERK! Good thing officials stepped in before Newman knocked the kid's block off!

    ReplyDelete
  27. All right... Ya gotta show us your Ickey shuffle, Gene!

  28. When Joey had his dispute with Kevin after the first Pocono race, the look on Kevin's face said, "Let him come to me so I can kick his @$$ right here, right now."

  29. Congrats Gene!! Watching helped you and killed me...stupid imploding engines!!

    Sorry you were talking to yourself Dwindy! I am getting ready for a horse show so picking up some extra rides on the weekend to get ready...

    ReplyDelete
  30. Kristen- Watching or not watching the race isn't what killed Kurt. You picking him for the Trifecta did (I've gone back and checked the stats) :o)

    ReplyDelete
  31. ALRIGHT, GENE!

    But as for you, Mr. CR Racing, Joey didn't suck yesterday but he sucks today!!!lol

    Y'all have a wonderful Monday!!!

  32. Thanks.... to the crew for bustin' off some good stops, and all the boys back at the shop. Some new sponsors... KB Sunglasses and Marquis Jets...

  33. well, he didn't lead a lap and didn't score a top 5, Athens....I was expecting somewhat more from the guy. Same goes for Almirola but he had an excuse when he slapped the wall (or was it a tyre? I forget now) I guess, lol
