Editor’s note: Uncle Max is currently wrapping up his vacation (said he comes back Sunday)—here’s the picks he texted to me:
CUP SERIES Toyota SaveMart 350: Mystery Picker picks Paul Menard. Favorite (4 wins): Kyle Busch—what happened to Mystery—did (s)he suffer a head injury while I’ve been getting sunburnt? Next Favorite (1 win): Joey Logano—bracketing the off-week. Dark Horse: Chase Elliott—from the road-racing hotbed of Northern Georgia.
TRUCK SERIES CarShield 200 (7 wins): Austin Hill—comeback after a week of controversy.
