Uncle Max vs. Last Year’s Winners: Atlanta


EDITOR’S NOTE: Uncle Max wrote this before his training was cancelled

Another winless week.  This season is proving to be a little more difficult than I had anticipated.  Might need to switch strategies and break out the old restrictor plate dartboard next weekend.
Speaking of which, my picks will be quick and to the point for Homestead-Miami since I’ll be out of town from Thursday through the weekend for corporate training.  Its something we have to go through at my work roughly once every five years, and its a nice little change of pace.  With the hotel and complimentary meals its like being on vacation, except you have to sit in a stuffy conference room for eight hours with your smart phone off.

CUP SERIES Folds of Honor QT 500: 2019 Winner (2 WINS) is Brad Keselowski.  FAVORITE: Kyle Busch—the second two-time winner this year.  NEXT FAVORITE: Chase Elliott—and prepare to hear idiots claim it was fixed. DARK HORSE: Erik Jones—reminding everyone that HE’S the fourth driver at JGR, not Christopher Bell.

XFINITY SERIES (2 WINS) EchoPark 250: Chase Briscoe—making himself known in the SHR camp.

TRUCK SERIES (1 WIN) Vet Tix 200: Kyle Busch—shining brightest when the spotlight AND pressure is on him.
