 Trivia Time  
Why is the #43 Petty car red and blue even though General Mills Cherrios (Yellow Box) Brand is their sponsor?
Answer: In 1972, when STP became the “Lifetime Sponsor” of Petty Enterprises #43 car, STP’s president demanded the car be red. Petty demanded Petty Blue. They compromised on the now famous red and blue paint scheme.

Back-to-back-to-back championship team.

 Title:  Championship Preview
 Author:  Senator Will Riney
 Dated:  November 8, 2008
This coming weekend has been named “Ford Championship Weekend” as all three major NASCAR Series take the track to decide their championships. Meanwhile, here at Victory Lane, we are ready to crown champions in both of our divisions: VL and VL2.

In Victory Lane, it’s down to an unlikely pair. Toyota Racing Development (TRD), led by Cindy Riney, is making a run at back to back championships, while Slice One Racing, wheeled by Matt Davis is hoping to run the table in his rookie year. In the Circuit Finals at Texas Motor speedway, TRD beat division rival Full Throttle Enterprises in a squeaker, 25-24. Meanwhile, Slice One topped perennial championship contender Outlaw Motorsports 24-19. The 2008 Checkered Flag Championship race will be the first meeting between these teams and the last head to head matchup for Victory Lane.

The other championship to be determined at Homestead is the Victory Lane 2 Championship. This big race pits third seed John Magee against number one seed Ray Perrotta. Magee has had to advance to the VL2 Cup the hard way, beating Ludwig Hormann Jr in the Quarterfinals and then Terry Frederickson in the Semifinals. Perrotta had a week 1 bye thanks to a number one seed heading into the playoffs and beat Chance Lawrence in the semifinals at Texas. Both teams are looking forward to moving up to VL next year with a VL2 Cup in tow.

Good luck to all four of the teams in these two title matches. Be sure and check back here and on the Total Sports Challenge forum for updates on the 2009 Victory Lane season.

 Title:  Dickies Preview
 Author:  Senator Will Riney
 Dated:  October 28, 2008
The Dickies 500 looms large for the Final Four players in Victory Lane. Will Carl Edwards rule supreme and be an 8 point payoff pick or have engine trouble like at Lowe’s race2 and Atlanta race1? Will Jimmie Johnson continue his Chase magic as a high point pick or burn the players with an unexpected Lone Star stumble? While Jimmie Johnson was trying to chase down Carl Edwards at Atlanta, the four Victory Lane teams still alive in the playoffs poured over their picks for the upcoming race at Texas.

In match-up One for the Pennzoil Circuit Championship, we have one certainty – a Riney will be in the Finals again this year. It’s Cindy Riney and the Toyota Racing Development team (7-7-2) against Will Riney and Full Throttle Enterprises (8-5-3). In the regular season the teams tied in Week #1 22-22 and again in Week #9 25-25. In Week #3 Full Throttle won 29-26 and again in Week #15 24-20.

In Match-up Two, for the Havoline Circuit Championship, we have Slice One Racing (9-6-1), a VL rookie team lead by Matt Davis going against Shawn Jackson, a Total Sports Vet, and his Outlaw Motorsports (9-6-1). These two teams met only once during the season, Week #12 with Outlaw Motorsports winning 18 to 15.

After the Circuit Championship races this week, we move to the Prestigious Checkered Flag Championship II race at Homestead-Miami Speedway coinciding with the Nascar finale. Which team will hoist the Championship Trophy in the last Victory Lane race under the current format? Check back to see.
