Uncle Max vs. Last Year’s Winners: Michigan/Road America


Uncle Max is out for the week!

Don’t worry, I’m not sick (yet), and I haven’t been fired by my nephew (yet)—I’m FINALLY getting that week of vacation that’s been delayed due to so many of our employees, well, quitting.  So by the time you read this I’ll be doing something I haven’t done in over a decade—camping in the woods!  Thankfully I have my friend’s uncle’s cabin to set up shop at, far away from any distractions and irritating customers.  How will I spend my time?  Lets just say that my 2020 fantasy football team will be insanely well-researched.


Friday Evening TRUCK SERIES Gander 200 (3 wins) Brett Moffitt—The ‘stache avoids a crash.


Saturday Early Afternoon XFINITY SERIES Henry 180 (2 wins) Austin Cindric—pretty hard to pick against him in Penske power on a road course.


Saturday Late Afternoon CUP SERIES Firekeepers Casino 400.  LAST YEAR’S WINNER (4 wins) Joey Logano.  FAVORITE: (2 win) Brad Keselowski—back-to-back, this week at a legit home track (Martin Truex Jr. I’m looking in your direction).  NEXT FAVORITE: (1 win) Kevin Harvick—the typically best Ford returns quickly to victory lane.  DARK HORSE: (0 wins) Jimmie Johnson—a feel-good rebound.


Sunday Afternoon CUP SERIES Consumers Energy 400.  LAST YEAR’S WINNER (4 wins) Kevin Harvick.  FAVORITE: (2 win) Denny Hamlin—staying strong—could easily have picked him yesterday.  NEXT FAVORITE: (1 win) Joey Logano—about time for a return to form.  DARK HORSE: (0 wins) Erik Jones—another home town win?
