The Trifecta- Back So Soon Edition

Greetings, race fans. Thanks to a 2 day delay at Atlanta, we are back. This weekend is a light schedule with races in Nationwide, Sprint Cup, and F1.

The overall standings in the Chase for the Coveted Triple Lug Nut Trophy (otherwise known as the Dwindy report) are as follows:

PLAYER WINS PERFECT 1ST 2ND 3RD
dwindy 9 0 23 8 11
Hanny 3 0 17 11 6
cr 3 0 14 13 5
SB 2 0 12 12 11
moseby 2 0 9 11 4
jon 2 0 7 7 8
kristen 1 1 9 9 4
Tez 1 0 12 9 2

Looks like several players are making gains against Dwindy in the stats but not in wins. There are still 10 more race weekends to work on that.

This week's starting lineup-
1 moseby 2 tez 3 CR 4 SB 5 Dwindy 6 kristen 7 jon 8 Hanny

And finally, the races:

1.) The NASCAR Nationwide Series race from Richmond, Friday September 9; green flag drops at 7:43pm ET (entry list).

2.) The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race from Richmond, Saturday September 10; green flag drops at 7:43pm ET.

3.) The F1 Italian Grand Prix, Sunday September 11; green flag drops at 8:00am ET.

There you have it. Good luck and let's go racing!

  9. Didn't even check back from my picks from last week until now. Sorry Jon about the same driver deal for the Cup race. Problem is that I don't get back on during the weekends. I'll take a penalty in the future if that is what everyone agrees upon.

    NNS - Sadler
    Cup - Bowyer
    F1 - Massa

  10. The Beagle is dropping Kyle in the Cup race and going with JJ instead.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Ah the Beagle beat me to it! Please change me to JJ too for the Cup race...

    moseby - what you talking about Willis? No penalty for picking same drivers...as you can see above.

  18. common sense tells me to change to Vettel who took pole by half a second....but that would be mean to Dwindy and Hanny.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm throwing up a Hail Mary and sending in Alonso for Vettel.

    Thanks, Speedy!

  20. Holy Freakin Moly! Kurt has lost his mind with the media...watching him payback JJ was priceless even though it cost me in the 'fecta!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Moseby, I still wouldn't have won with JJ, so no biggie.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hey Tez...

    If you want Vettel go ahead and take him, I'll take Mr. Button... It's up to you...

    Ms. SB I'm just home from work and going to bed... If tez takes Vettel, give me Button, Okay?

    Thanks!

  23. Well, it was close, but Tez executed a textbook pass coming of turn 4 to take the win. Congrats on your second win of the season.

    tez 7
    Dwindy 8
    Hanny 13
    CR 31
    jon 31
    moseby 34

  24. Gee, Kristen- if you had taken Kurt instead of JJ, you still could have enjoyed the show AND had a 3rd place finish in the 'Fecta.

    ReplyDelete
  25. now I just have to win the next 8 weeks and Dwindy will be toast....highly unlikely though, lol

    ReplyDelete
  26. I didn't watch the F1 race until the replay. That was a fantastic start for Ferrari, but alas, Red Bull rules the day. A Hearty congratulations to tez!
