The Trifecta- When Irish Eyes Are Smiling Edition

Greetings race fans. This week, the Trifecta takes us to the Irish Hills of Michigan for Nationwide and Sprint Cup action, while the IndyCar boys and girls are living it up on beer and brats in Milwaukee.

Before we get to the races, the Commissioner of the Trifecta has a message-

There is no truth to the rumor that Dwindy was assessed a secret fine. If that were true, then the Beagle would have had her contacts replaced by now. There is, however, buzz that a copy of Chad Knaus's book, How to Cheat and not Get Caught, is making rounds in the garage area. This is a prohibited book, and anyone caught with a copy will be dealt with severely. If you do have a copy, please leave it on the steps of the black, tan and white hauler and no questions will be asked.

This week's line up: 1 SB 2 tez 3 moseby 4 CR 5 kristen 6 jon 7 Hanny 8 Dwindy

And now for the races:

1.) The NASCAR Nationwide Series race from Michigan, Saturday June 18; green flag drops at 3:46pm ET. (entry list)

2.) The NASCAR Srint Cup Series race from Michigan, Sunday June 19; green flag drops at 1:16pm ET.

3.) The IndyCar race from Milwaukee, Sunday June 19; green flag drops at 4:00pm ET.

Good luck and let's go racing.

  5. Kristen-

    No, I actually think Kurt has a legitimate shot at the win this weekend(besides, if I wanted to jinx him, I'd let Katie chew on her stuffed scallop shell).

    :o)

  6. Kristen didn't pick Helio?! :o

    Before my picks, I'd just like to say congrats to the Bruins, they outplayed us in pretty much every game. Also, those idiots who took part in the riots...thanks for making Vancouver fans look like complete knobs, the rest of us really appreciate it *rolls eyes*

    NW - Mark "I'll still be driving when Kyle retires" Martin
    Cup - Jimmie "Tez, are you trying to jinx me before next week this year?" Johnson
    Indycar - Dario "actual qualifying instead of the dart board, woohoo!" Franchitti

  7. Scallops and Duck - Katie does eat well I must say.

    No, Tez, Helio is SUCKING! I have to win one of these dang 'fectas!

    Yea, rioting idiots are never fun - we have our share of them here too. Congrats to the Bruins, and I still owe you starbucks!

  22. congrats Dwindy...we'll have to dub you Vettel based on the 'season so far' form, lol

    I just realised; F1 from Valencia so a 5am race means I should be able to watch most of it before heading to the track Sunday :D
