EDITOR’S NOTE: Uncle Max texted me his picks this week along with a message that he was busy mediating a dispute at work over the AAF disbanding. His picks are listed below, along with Mystery Picker’s:
CUP SERIES Food City 500: Mystery Picker picks Austin Dillon. Favorite (2 wins): Kyle Busch—in which Rowdy takes out his anger on not being able to race on Saturday on the Cup field. Next Favorite: Denny Hamlin—two in a row. Dark Horse: William Byron—a little pit strategy and a lot of luck could work wonders.
XFINITY SERIES (4 wins) Alsco 300: Christopher Bell—only one man can stop him…and he’s not allowed to run this race.
