Annnnd I’m back! It was a great two weeks off down at the beautiful shore (beach for those who aren’t local). I filled my days with grilling, drinking, and relaxing—and STILL had time to get in a few games of pickup basketball. Granted, there’s not much use for a 5’5’’ white guy with the build of Tony Stewart, but I made myself useful as a “defensive specialist” (read: boxing guys out down low).
While I’m glad I got some time off from work, now I’m in the thick of the worst part of the year—the return from vacation. Tons of paperwork, plenty of merchandise put in the wrong places, AND new rumors that they might be shutting down our store again. I’m not TOO worried, but I am keeping my resume updated just in case.
CUP SERIES Camping World 400: Mystery Picker picks Joey Logano. Favorite (4 wins): Kyle Busch—yeah, I’m staying on this Kyle Busch train as long as I can. Next Favorite (1 win): Brad Keselowski—glad to see Mystery Picker finally coming to their senses, but I think I got the right Penske driver. Dark Horse: Ryan Newman—can you say “fuel mileage”?
XFINITY SERIES Camping World 300 (6 wins): Christopher Bell—I wanted to pick Justin Allgaier, then I remembered he drives a Chevy.
TRUCK SERIES Camping World 225 (7 wins): Johnny Sauter—maybe he’ll actually talk to people after this race.
