Nascar Pick Challenge: Uncle Max vs. Mystery Picker—Talladega


Not to make excuses, but I’ve had a bit of a tough run of it lately.  I mean, I’ve been busy with work dealing with a new store manager, my car is still giving me problems, and the new company that’s managing my townhouse is trying to nickel-dime me on utilities (who the heck makes a renter pay for water?!?).  Again, no excuses—its been a rough start to the year.  With that being said, its time to start a turnaround here for ol’ Uncle Max.  And there’s no better place to do it at than at Nascar’s most-random track, Talladega, right?  RIGHT?!?

Xfinity Series Sparks Energy 300 (1 win)—Ryan Reed: The plate track “master” continues his “mastery”.


Cup Series Geico 500—MYSTERY PICKER (3 wins) PICKS Aric Almirola.  Favorite (1 win): Ricky Stenhouse Jr.—bit of a Danica connection in the top picks this weekend, but I make the right one.  Next Favorite: Jimmie Johnson—he has to get back in the groove eventually, right?  Dark Horse: Jamie McMurray—controversy equals success?
