Ready for a Quickie (Trifecta)?
Jun 13, 2008 | 4:31PM | report this

I’d hate to see this die for the lack of interest because I know that’s not the case… I’ll run my third Trifecta of the season this weekend, but I’d like to see it done on a rotational basis into the future if everyone is willing…

So here are the three races being run tomorrow and Sunday!

We're going to change the rules set up by William by popular demand (or whining if you want to call it that! lol).

Let's do away with the 5 point penalty for choosing someone else's driver at a later time. Let's just see who can pick the winners and in case of a tie, everyone give me who they think will come in second in the Sprint Cup race. Your second place drivers' actual finishing positions will be tallyed and that will yield the ultimate winner if need be. So I'll need one pick for both the Truck and Nationwide races and your first and second place drivers in the LifeLock 400 on Sunday...

Who wants to step up next week? HotfootLori, William and I are (as 3fan says) out...

Good Luck Everybody!

And by the way....

All you Dads out there,

Have a Happy Father's Day!

	blue@orange Jun 13, 2008 5:18 PM		Boy, for someone who didn't know squat about Nascar last year, you sure have picked it up a notch or four since then. You cover this stuff better than the regulars and your much easier to deal with LOL. You have taken over the Nascar section. But was there any doubt, after it caught your interest. I think not. I saw Quicky in the title and i thought there would be a link to one of those B@O big girl sights ?

	Dwindy1 Jun 13, 2008 5:19 PM		JOKER... There's a list up above of 15 truck drivers... Click on the name and you can see a profile if you need to... Also, I just need one driver from the Truck and Nationwide races, then who you think will win and come in second in the Sprint Cup race... Thanks!

	Dwindy1 Jun 13, 2008 5:56 PM		klavalus... Where's Kurt? He just might be torqued this week!

	klvalus Jun 13, 2008 6:11 PM		Nah, Kurt did well last week based on pit strategy alone...they still do not have the setups figured out...so I guess I am using my "insider info" there! He has a legit shot at the road course though! Jr would be my pick before Kurt.

	TWFMAOE Jun 14, 2008 9:15 PM		D, How is this scored??? I had a 4th and a 15th and now have 40 points??? I figured you just added the two finishing places together which would mena I would have 19 not 40??? Just curious, first time I have entered the trifecta. Thanks

	klvalus Jun 14, 2008 10:19 PM		Really I was the ONLY one who picked Sliced Bread?? I am shocked. TWFAOE- I think he added Chapman not Coleman for your score...your solidly in 4th.

	TWFMAOE Jun 14, 2008 10:43 PM		I think you are right Kristen, that does add up if he used Chapman. Just like Dwindy1 to try to drag me to the bottom of the rankings with him - lol. Congrats on your first two pics but I'm still betting I beat you with my Cup pics - I'm so confident I'm willing to bet a whole entire quarter (25 cents). Will you take the bet seeing as how you have a double digit lead on me??? Last edited by TWFMAOE on June 15th at 5:18 AM.

	Dwindy1 Jun 15, 2008 4:26 AM		TWFMAOE... This is a test to see if you're really checking in... lol The standings have been adjusted to reflect your rightful position... (sorry) klvalus, Kyle better run tight in the 400! Thanks!

	TWFMAOE Jun 15, 2008 5:21 AM		Dwindy1, I'm very good on tests. In fact, I caught another error you've made (which I'm sure was just to see if I'm still checking). 4th plus 15th equals 19 not 20. That point might be significant and I EARNED it - lol. Last edited by TWFMAOE on June 15th at 5:22 AM.

	Dwindy1 Jun 15, 2008 5:31 AM		Hey... I haven't had my coffee yet...

	blue@orange Jun 15, 2008 5:52 AM		i gotta stop entering these things, not good for the self esteem

	Dwindy1 Jun 15, 2008 5:59 AM		Don't feel like the Lone Ranger!

	blue@orange Jun 15, 2008 6:16 AM		some wise guy left a new pole question about you on our base ball page?

	JOKERSWILD Jun 15, 2008 6:21 AM		D-man dosn't look like im doing to bad in this thing well bout to go get some breakfast see ya'll later..

	Dwindy1 Jun 15, 2008 8:00 AM		JOKER just think... If Kyle Busch wins, you might win! The grand prize? Bragging rights for a whole week!

	blue@orange Jun 15, 2008 8:51 AM		I was hoping the answer was 1) dump Lincecum, your catching us with good pitching

	Dwindy1 Jun 15, 2008 9:09 AM		b@o... My only problem is these players I can't send down the road... I've got like 9 guys that are locked into my team... What's up with that?
