The answer is "I'll get you my pretty and your little dog,too!" (There is a correct question for this answer, but not necessarily the one you're thinking of.)

This week's lineup: tez Hanny jon moseby kristen CR Dwindy SB Bev

This week's races:

1.) The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Kansas, Saturday June 4; green flag drops at 2:19pm ET (entry list)

    Hey SB! How about a biscuit? (Now that got a tail wag!)

    Okie dokie then…

    CWTS – Clint “Home Town Wonder” Boyer

    NWS – Trevor “I’m OK, how about you?” Bayne

    Cup – Jimmie “The cream will rise” Johnson

    Thank you for everything, SB!

    BTW… A funny true story…

    A friend of mine was living with a girlfriend and they were at a point when they both were realizing they really weren’t meant for each other. Well… my buddy has one of those cell phones where you can program different ring tones for the most common callers. Whenever his girlfriend would call he had the phone play the music from the Wizard of Oz for when the evil neighbor woman on her bicycle (or when the wicked Witch of the West would appear), you know Da tada tada Da… Well knowing her boyfriend had different tones for different people, she was curious about what he had for her so she called… And the rest is history!

    I think Dwindy should be parked for the next Trifecta for using non-conforming performance enhancers! Not sure what he's using... but it seems to be working, whatever it is! LOL

    Thanks SB. Something fishy going over there. I've heard rumors in the garage that Dwindy may have found a certain horseshoe, that is supposedly the property of Hendrick's 48 team, but had been missing, and presumed to be in possession of Kevin Harvick. Anyway, an investigation into this matter would be appreciated by many Trifecta racing members.
    Dwindy, hope you're laughing out loud at my deep, heart-felt concerns! lol

  19. klvalusJune 4, 2011 at 9:30 PM

    hmmm I clearly dont have the horseshoe even though I pay for them quite often!

    What the heck happened in the truck race!??! RC punched Kyle?? really??

  20. SpeedBeagleJune 5, 2011 at 6:36 AM

    Kristen- yep. Apparently, Kyle didn't like the way RC's driver passed him at the end of the race and expressed his displeasure in the usual bumping of vehicles. When everyone got back to the garage, RC handed his watch to Austin, got Kyle in a headlock, and pummeled him. That's as much of the story that is confirmed. Unconfirmed reports say that after RC hit him for the 3rd time, Kyle dropped to the floor cowering.

    I'll dump my fellow Aussie and go with Biffle please, SB.

    Can we circulate the rumour that all RC told Kyle was that if he wants, RC can hire Jimmy Spencer to sort out these little spats?

    ReplyDelete
  22. tezgm99June 5, 2011 at 9:27 AM

    oh no, Hermie Sadler's going with Biffle too....I'll change to Harvick instead, lol

  23. CR_RacingJune 5, 2011 at 9:56 AM

    Dang it tez! I came to change my driver to Happy, and you already stole him! It would be dirty play if I went ahead and chose him...

    I'm dropping Bowyer for Sliced Bread with Joey, and hold the mayo!
