Uncle Max vs. Last Year’s Winners: Phoenix


Sure, this is a rough start to the year for ol’ Uncle Max, but this is NOT the time to worry.
You know when you worry?  When you’ve bet your last $500 on the Super Bowl.  When you work Black Friday with a bad back.  When you answer a spurious online dating request for someone who seems to cycle through the same three responses to all your questions.  When your car’s “Need Service Now” light is on for three straight months and you have a road-trip to make.  When there’s a snowstorm coming and you don’t stock up on milk bread and beer.
THAT’S when you worry…although I will get a little nervous if there’s another 2019 repeat winner before I notch one.

CUP SERIES Fan Shield 500: 2019 Winner (2 WINS) is Kyle Busch.  FAVORITE: Kevin Harvick—here’s hoping Happy can recapture some magic in the desert to get me into the win column.  NEXT FAVORITE: Martin Truex Jr.—does this count as a home track for him? DARK HORSE: Chris Buescher—feel-good win on fuel mileage.

XFINITY SERIES (2 WINS) LS Tractor 200: Kyle Busch—let’s be honest, it’ll either be him or Brad K.

TRUCK SERIES (1 WIN)—off
