Uncle Max vs. Last Year’s Winners: Indianapolis


I’ve enjoyed my nephew’s “Nascar for Newbies” series—I’m still relatively new to the sport and I’ve learned a bit about the history.  Here’s hoping he discusses why they just can’t race in the rain.

Seriously—there’s no other sports going on right now (never got into soccer for reasons too losing-my-high-school-girlfriend to get into) so I’ve really thrown myself into Nascar with gusto these past few months.  But it seems like every time I tune in, there’s rain, lightning, or a threat of one of them.  Oh well—at least with Darrell Waltrip no longer announcing we don’t have to hear about the “Vortex Theory” much anymore.


TRUCK SERIES  (1 win)—off


Saturday XFINITY SERIES Pennzoil 150 (2 wins) Austin Cindric—Penske driver wins at a Penske track sponsored by a Penske sponsor.


Sunday CUP SERIES Big Machine Hand Sanitizer 400.  LAST YEAR’S WINNER (3 wins) Kevin Harvick  FAVORITE: (2 win) Denny Hamlin—hard to jump off this bandwagon.  NEXT FAVORITE: (1 win) Kyle Busch—the Candy Man can…get back on track at Indy.  DARK HORSE: (0 wins) Bubba Wallace—had a strong run last year, even though this year people would whine about a fix.
