Some housekeeping befire we get to the races. Trifecta R&D has carefully examined Dwindy's Magic 8 ball and found it to be of standard issue with no modifications. We have also interviewed every Gypsy fortune teller in Dwindy's town and found nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, they envy his success rate for correct predictions. So, unless he is getting his information directly from the race teams, we can find nothing illegal. And Dwindy, if you do have Jimmie's horseshoe, PUT IT DOWN!!! You don't know where it's been.
IndyCar is giving us a real Texas two step this weeki, as they have divided the race into two shorter races. If you decide to choose IndyCAr as one of your races, you will pick ONE driver. You will be credited with that driver's BEST finish (Ex: Kristen picks Helio. He finishes 5th in the first race and 2nd in the second race. Kristen would be credited with the 2nd place finish). YOU MAY NOT CHANGE INDYCAR DRIVERS BETWEEN THE RACES.
Finally, Bev has withdrawn from the Trifecta. She is having trouble keeping up with everything without full internet access.
This week's line up: 1 Dwindy, 2 Hanny, 3 tez, 4 SB, 5 kristen , 6 CR, 7 jon, 8 moseby
Finally the races:
1.) The Camping World Truck Series race from Texas, Friday June 10; green flag drops at 9:19pm ET (entry list)
2.) The IndyCar race from Texas, Saturday June 11; green flag drops at 8:45pm ET.
3.) The F1 race from Montreal, Sunday June 11; green flag drops at 1:00pm ET.
4.) The Sprint Cup race from Pocono, Sunday June 11; green flag drops at 1:18pm ET.
Good luck and let's go racing.
Whew! I passed inspection! (pulled the wool over those fortune tellers eyes! LOL)
ReplyDeleteSo who's going to make sweet music this week?
How about...
CWTS - Todd "the Onion" Bodine playing "Green Onions"!
F1 - It's about time Lewis "Blame Game" Hamilton pulled off a victory while playing "Rule Britannia"...
Sprint Cup - Then it's Denny "The Virginian" Hamlin's turn in the spotlight while singing Billy Joel's "Big Shot" with a white hot spotlight!
Thank You SB!
The Beagle is going with:
ReplyDeleteTrucks- Austin "Here, Let me hold that for you grandpa" Dillon
F1- Sebastian "Come and get me, boys" Vettel
IndyCar- Dario "Hey Ashley, how do you feel about haggis for dinner" Franchitti
I thought everyone knew where that horseshoe had been. Didn't Kevin tell us all it was up Jimmie's a$$? lol
ReplyDeleteF-1... Fernando Alonso
Indy... Will Power
Cup... Big Daddy Don Garlits...I mean, Big Daddy 24, Jeffy Pooh!
Trucks - Agent double oh 31...James Buescher!
ReplyDeleteIndycar - Chip gets his fuel mileage right...Scott Dixon!
F1 - the jinx has to work eventually...Sebastian Vettel!
and as for the biggest race of the year....I'll go the #7 Peugeot to win.
ahh yes... LeMans. Just the name brings a rush of speed adrenaline to my senses. It's number one on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteCR...
ReplyDeleteI heard you have a tub list... No?
I cannot believe Dwindy has been cleared of all wrongdoing - shouldnt he at least be fined? =)
ReplyDeleteTrucks - Cole "WonderBoy" Whitt
IRL - Helio "DancingMan" Castroneves
CUP - Kurt "CursinMan" Busch
IRl - Dixon
ReplyDeleteF1 - Vettel
Cup - Hamlin
Let's try to not bring up the rear this week....
Kristen-
ReplyDeleteI didn't say Dwindy has been cleared. We just can't figure out what it is that he's doing. What we need is one of the employees of D1Racing to blow the whistle on him :o).
Is the Beagle handing out 'secret' fines?
ReplyDeleteCWTS.... J Sauter
F-1..... S Vettel
Cup..... C Edwards
Change me to Will "HeMan" Power for IRL - Helio is stinking up the joint!
ReplyDeleteThanks SB!
Hanny- no secret fines here. We just can't figure out how he's beating the system :o)
ReplyDeleteKristen- change noted
from jon via FB
trucks- Piquet
cup- Tony
Indy- Briscoe
Well given that horrible result by Wonder Boy Whitt - I'll take the penalty and grab Alonso in F1 instead.
ReplyDeleteOy! Sorry to be a bother with the changes SB!
Not a problem, Kristen. I expect a few more changes given the outcome of the truck race :o)
ReplyDeleteSB... My Onion went bad...
ReplyDeleteGive me the penalty and I'll take Will Power in the IndyCar race.
Thank you very much!
After the "Rob Job" on Sauter, I have to drop him and go with Dixon at the Texas IndyCar race.
ReplyDeleteThe Beagle is also taking the penalty and going with Jimmie in the Cup race.
ReplyDeleteAfter one completed (with most of us taking the penalty after a less than spectacular truck race)

Hamilton is out! Tried his best wrecking ball impression and spun Webber before crunching the inside wall on the pit straight when he attempted to pass Button who can't see since it's rain.
ReplyDeleteWell, after two complete:

Jon's day is over. He's hoping that Vettel and Alonso self destruct.
Well Alonso destructed. Can't say it was self destruction, since Webber helped him!
ReplyDeleteYEA!!! TEZ!!! Way to jinx Vettel! lol
ReplyDeleteand now with the F1 race complete, the Beagle overcomes disastrous truck race, takes the penalty, and still manages to come away with the win.

Congrats SB! ...and it looks like your "secret fine" on Dwindy did it's job! lol
ReplyDeletecongrats, Dwi...uh, SB!
ReplyDeleteUh... retraction... Button helped taking out Alonso, not Webber. My TV screen was foggy from all the rain!
ReplyDeleteWTG SB!
ReplyDeleteAs for you other guys...
Congrats to SB on the win! (Notice I didn't pick the Duck THIS week?)
ReplyDeleteCongrat Speedy! Wacky racing this weekend...
ReplyDeleteWTG, Katie!
