2013 Bet 'Em IndyContest - Triple Crown special stage

[NaBUru38]

Hello, folks! Welcome to the Triple Crown special stage of the 2013 Bet 'Em IndyContest.

You must pick four different drivers and a manufacturer.

o- Winner ($ 2,000)
o- Top 3 ($ 500)
o- Top 5 ($ 150)
o- Top 10 ($ 50)
o- Winning manufacturer ($ 200)

The results rules are as follow:

o- The Triple Crown winning driver is the one who collects most wins. If three drivers collect wins, then the winner is the one with most 2nd finishes, 3rd, 4th or 5th. If they tie, then the driver with most poles wins. Else, the winner will be calculated with the points awarded in the three races.
o- The top 3, top 5 and top 10 results will also be calculated with the points awarded in the three races. In both cases, the bonus points for qualifying and laps led will be ignored.
o- The winning manufacturer is the one with most wins.

The stakes for the Triple Crown special stage are:

o- 4 to 1: Andretti, Carpenter, Hunter-Reay, Castroneves.
o- 6 to 1: Dixon, Franchitti, Hinchcliffe, Sato.
o- 10 to 1: Kanaan, Hildebrand, Power, Wilson.
o- 20 to 1: Pagenaud, Rahal, ServiÃ*, Viso.
o- 30 to 1: De Silvestro, Kimball, Newgarden.
o- 40 to 1: Bourdais, Tagliani, Vautier.
o- 100 to 1: Rest of the grid (Allmendinger, Beatriz, Jakes, Saavedra, etc).

o- Chevy: 3 to 1.
o- Honda: 6 to 1.

If you place your bets after Carb Day (Friday 24 at 11:00 Eastern / 15:00 UTC), you will only get half the stakes. Good luck!

As with the Street King special stage, the the top 3, top 5 and top 10 results will also be calculated using a medal system as well: drivers with most wins go to the top, then drivers with most 2nd places, then 3rd and so on.

So, these are the Triple Crown standings:

1. Kanaan: 1 3 13
2. Power: 1 4 19
3. Dixon: 1 5 14
4. Kimball: 2 9 10
5. Carpenter: 2 9 10
6. Muñoz: 2 23
7. Hunter-Reay: 3 9 20
9. Wilson: 3 9 20
9. Franchitti: 3 23
10. Andretti: 4 7 10
11. Hinchcliffe: 4 21 24
12. Castroneves: 6 6 8
13. Pagenaud: 6 8 13
14. Allmendinger: 7 16
15. De Silvestro: 8 11 17
16. Serviá: 11 19
17. Hildebrand: 11 33
18. Bourdais: 12 16 29
19. Jakes: 12 20 11
20. Briscoe: 12
21. Sato: 13 17 22
22. Tagliani: 14 17 24
23. Rahal: 15 18 25
24. Mann: 15 25 30
25. Beatriz: 15
26. Viso: 18 21
27. Newgarden: 20 23 28
28. Vautier: 16 19 21
29. Saavedra: 23 24 32

Now, here's the results of the Triple Crown special stage:

o- Winner ($ 2,000): Kanaan (10 to 1).
o- Top 3 ($ 500): Kanaan (10 to 1), Power (10 to 1), Dixon (6 to 1).
o- Top 5 ($ 150): Kanaan (10 to 1), Power (10 to 1), Dixon (6 to 1), Kimball (30 to 1), Carpenter (4 to 1).
o- Top 10 ($ 50): Kanaan (10 to 1), Power (10 to 1), Dixon (6 to 1), Kimball (30 to 1), Carpenter (4 to 1), Muñoz (100 to 1), Hunter-Reay (4 to 1), Wilson (10 to 1), Franchitti (6 to 1), Andretti (4 to 1).
o- Winning manufacturer ($ 200): Chevrolet (3 to 1).

Nobody chose Kanaan for the win. Mythoughts cashed $ 5,000 for picking Power for the top 3, $ 1,500 for picking Kanaan for the top 5, and $ 300 for picking Dixon for the top 10. Beetle got $ 900 for choosing Dixon for the top 5. NaBUru38 earned $ 500 for picking Kanaan for the top 10. NaBUru38, Mythoughts and Beetle got $ 600 for Chevrolet's two wins.

So, here's the earnings of the Triple Crown special stage:

1st - Mythoughtsareracing: 0 + 5,000 + 1,500 + 300 + 600 = $ 7,400
2nd - Beetle: 0 + 0 + 900 + 0 + 600 = $ 1,500
3rd - NaBUru38: 0 + 0 + 0 + 500 + 600 = $ 1,100.
4th - Marcostraz: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0

Mythoughtsareracing again won by a fair margin over the rest.

Now it's the turn of the championship fight. After the break...
