Well, its nice to have my first day off in weeks to savor a Cup Series win! Sure, I had the right driver for the wrong race in Xfinity, and sure I nearly forgot to pick one of the Xfinity Series races in the first place, but Cup is what matters most, and I’ve pulled even with Last Year’s Winners!
As someone who’s still relatively new to Nascar, I don’t really get why so many fans want to display the rebel flag in the infield. I mean, its been decades since my last history class, but didn’t we fight a war with the Confederacy? And last time I checked, the enemy’s colors are NOT welcome in our home stadium. And the last time I checked was that time I lost a bet and had to wear a rival’s jersey to a football game—lets just say that fans aren’t very tolerant after a few dozen beers.
TRUCK SERIES (1 win)—off.
XFINITY SERIES Unhinged 300 (2 wins) Austin Cindric—about as close to a shot in the dark as you can get.
CUP SERIES Geico 500. LAST YEAR’S WINNER (2 wins) Chase Elliott. FAVORITE: (2 win) Denny Hamlin—back to back, the FedEx man delivers. NEXT FAVORITE: (1 win) Kevin Harvick—no better sponsor for a winner at Talladega than a beer sponsor. DARK HORSE: (0 wins) Tyler Reddick—rookie breakthrough.
