While it was nice to get an Xfinity Series win, I’m already behind the eight-ball versus last year’s results with Denny Hamlin’s repeat win at Daytona. Here’s hoping that Joey Logano has irritated enough drivers that he doesn’t get any help at Las Vegas!
Unfortunately I wound up missing most of the Daytona 500 this year due to work—had to get ready for inventory on Sunday, and then I was already scheduled to work Monday evening. The retail management schedule is never fun, but at least it pays the bills. It also gives me heartburn from time-to-time but thankfully I consider “antacids” one of my weekly bills.
CUP SERIES Pennzoil 400: 2019 Winner (1 WIN) is Joey Logano. FAVORITE: Kyle Busch—the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas (so, the Toyotas then) are on a mission this year. NEXT FAVORITE: Martin Truex Jr.—does this count as one of his home tracks? DARK HORSE: Kurt Busch—hometown guy gets the win.
XFINITY SERIES (1 WIN) Boyd Gaming 300: Chase Briscoe—the single-team Xfinity focus at SHR pays dividends.
TRUCK SERIES Strat 200: Kyle Busch—and unlike last weekend my pick won’t DNQ.
