Spade Racing Picks: Uncle Max vs. Mystery Picker—Martinsville


Before I head out on my weeklong vacation (last one of the year!) I’d like to ask this simple question—what the heck was Garrett Smithley thinking on Saturday?!?  He ruined my C.Bell pick in the Xfinity Series race!  And this isn’t the first time this has happened.
I suggest a system similar to the one we have at MY job for safety violations:
First—Verbal warning, must clean up mess
Second—Written warning, must review training procedures, loses spot in break room seating “pecking order”
Third—Reported to corporate, may result in termination, if not the employee is required to supply donuts to the next all-staff meeting
Fourth—Automatic termination, all contents of locker available to all

CUP SERIES First Data 500: Mystery Picker (1 win) picks Jimmie Johnson.  Favorite (4 wins): Kyle Busch—I’ll keep picking Rowdy till he comes through—or I get tired of it.  Next Favorite (3 wins): Chase Elliott—about the only place a Chevy can win (but I got the right one).  Dark Horse: Matt DiBennedetto—why not?

TRUCK SERIES Hall of Fame 200 (8 wins): Harrison Burton—about time he starts showing why he’s getting the 20 Xfinity ride next year (well, besides connections and sponsorship).
