2020’s been a pretty bad year for everyone, from regular folks like you and me to whiny millionaires like Kyle Busch. But my pick competition this year has been terrible even by 2020 standards.
Last Year’s Winner has more wins than all my wins combined—and could double that number this weekend. Its funny how everyone said the lack of practice and qualifying would be an “equalizer for lesser-teams, but it seems like those who dominated last year are doing the same in 2020.
Oh well—at least I can be distracted at work where we’re already getting ready for the 2020 holiday season. And if YOU find yourself in a store that’s set up for Christmas in September, please don’t bother pointing out how early that is.
