…they scramble down the backstretch and jockey for position heading into turn 3.
Well finally one of the Fox bloggers in the Chase has done it, breaking through the 30 point barrier and posting a 28. The Martinsville race was over shadowed by an amazing Formula 1 race before hand and a “caught on camera” pit road altercation afterwards. The race itself may have been good (if you like yellows), but could not keep my interest so I will not be commenting on it.
What I will comment on though is the great job photogr has done this entire weekend, not only taking the lead in the chase but winning the Brazilian Paperclip Trifecta. He has taken a page out of Jeff Gordon’s “how to dominate competition” book Well done photogr and here are your standings for each event.
The Brazilian Paperclip Trifecta
photogr-------------7
volfan69------------9
Forensic2----------26
jbroomy-----------28
Dave_in_Indy----28(nice comeback after finishing worst in the first 2 races)
williamwilman---38
YeeMum----------44( sorry you actually received 15 points in penalty. If it is any consolation you would have beat me with those picks).
be the way did anyone get a line on the tiebreaker. my vcr didn't get the whole truck race.( note to self make sure you rewind the tape before you begin recording)
this has been fun and I enjoyed it. Sadly this may well be the last one for me. I have decided to hang up my cheat sheets and dart boards. Tell the gang to keep plugging away. You are doing a great job with the trifecta and appreciate the honor of being a part of the game.
I mean, how BUSH LEAGUE is it to get the lead, and then just say "well, I gotta go now" ... "I'm grabbin' my dartboard and cheat sheets and going home".
Possibly definitive proof the Cup season is about three months too long.

It is so hard to distinguish joking and seriousness in the written word. Please let us know that everything is ok with you, and that possibly you are just heading south for the winter and won't be on here?
hey photo. we don't want to lose you, but if you gotta do something thats totally cool. I think i am only going to do one more trifecta this season anyway, so take care. i will continue to update the chase.
so apart from missing Marcos' great Memphis weekend (you know, any of you could have messaged me about that, lol) did I miss any cool articles? I sure ain't going to scroll through 2 weeks worth, lol
Congratulatio ns to Dave_in_Indy winning the Great Canadian Trifecta on June 10 2007. His blog "A Partially Able Mind" is a collage of sports info and a must for anyone interested in the Indianapolis 500 or the IRL. Congratulatio ns to JayJayDean, winner of the 2007 MonsterMile Trifecta on June 05, 2007. He has a great blog analyzing NASCAR's points system called JJD's NASCAR and other stuff blog. Congrats need to go out to 14Falcons, the 2007 winner of the Memorial Day weekend Trifecta. Every race fan needs to check out his blog, Kierkegaard's Stages. As for me, i am just another racing fan, from Canada, with opinions like every one else. other than racing i love Dave Matthews Band, playing guitar and all sports in general. favorite drivers include Jeff Gordon, Jeff Burton, and Dale Jarret. favorite sports teams are Toronto Raptors, Montreal Canadiens, Notre-dame football, Chicago Bears, Syracuse basketball.
