Now with all that out of the way.....Let's make some laps!
The Speedbowl has had 3 xtra-distant events for their 4 NWRS divisions since 1998 - Budweiser Modified Nationals - Pepsi 300 - Town Fair Tire Finale. A triple crown, if you will...
1. Name the (8) drivers who've won all 3 triple crown races in one division during their career
2. Name the (2) drivers who've won all 3 triple crown races in one division during the same season
3. Name the (1) driver who's won all 3 triple crown races in two divisions during their career
Guess on question #3: Corey Hutchings Sportsman and Late Model.
Guess on question #2: Ron Yuhas SK, Corey Hutchings Late Model
Guess on question #1: Ron Yuhas SK, Eric Berndt SK, Corey Hutchings Late Model, Allen Coates Late Model, Jay Stuart Late Model, Ed Gertsch Sportsman, Keith Rocco Sportsman, Jeff Miller Mini Stock.
#1 - Corey (count twice per #3) - Miller (MS) - Coates (LM) - Stuart (LM) - Gertsch (SM)
Here's a couple hints to wrap it up:
No SK driver has accomplished this feat. Ronnie U has 3 Finale & 2 Pepsi 300 wins, but no Bud Nats (last years' opener wasn't the Mod Nats if ya remember). Berndt has 2 Mod Nats & 1 Finale. Rocco won the 1st 2 in 2004, but Roger Perry took the Finale..
2 to go for #1 - and let's just say I'm personally a little dissappointed in the one of them ya haven't guessed yet...
1. Name the (8) drivers who've won all 3 triple crown races in one division during their career
LM: Jay Stuart, Allen Coates & Corey Hutchings
SM: Corey Hutchings & Ed Gertsch Jr
MS: Jeff Miller, Phil Evans & my man 'chard
2. Name the (2) drivers who've won all 3 triple crown races in one division during the same season
LM: Allen Coates (1998) & Jay Stuart (1999)
3. Name the (1) driver who's won all 3 triple crown races in two divisions during their career
Corey Hutchings LM & SM
As for your other guesses:
Flash - TC has won 3 Pepsi 300's & the '99 Bud Nats, but never the Finale. Bruce Thomas Sr only has (1) Finale win during his Saturday Mini Stock days.
O-dub-ya - "Moose" Douton won the Mod Nats SM30 ('99 & '02) and The Finale ('00) in the Sportsman and won both the Pepsi 300 & Finale in a Late Model ('00), but never all 3 in (1) division...
