Anyways, here’s my picks for the upcoming race weekend at Darlington and Canada (total wins in parenthesis):
Truck Series Chevrolet Silverado 250 (3 Wins)—Austin Cindric—the farewell tour for BKR kicks off with a win for Eh C.
Xfinity Series VFW Sport Clips 200 (6 wins)—Elliott Sadler—two in a row for the driver with the worst throwback attempt all weekend.
Cup Series Bojangles Southern 500: FAVORITE (4 wins)—Kyle Busch—Rowdy continues to pour it on a liiiiiiiiittle too soon? NEXT FAVORITE (2 wins)—Jimmie Johnson—or will ol’ seven time start to pour it on at just the right time? DARK HORSE—Erik Jones—scrapbook achievement for the guy in the scrapbook paint schemed car.
