Uncle Max vs. Last Year’s Winners: Texas


Editor’s Note: Uncle Max is out sick this week with non-COVID related cold symptoms.  Here’s his picks that he texted to me this morning:


Saturday Late Afternoon XFINITY SERIES O’Reilly 300 (4 wins) Chase Briscoe—no better way to celebrate getting a Cup ride.


Sunday Early Afternoon TRUCK SERIES Speedy Cash 400k (4 wins) Zane Smith—wake up with a win.


Sunday Late Afternoon CUP SERIES Auto Trader 500.  LAST YEAR’S WINNER (8 wins) Kevin Harvick  FAVORITE: (2 win) Denny Hamlin—Bounce-back time.  NEXT FAVORITE: (2 wins) Chase Elliott—popular win for a non-Texan.  DARK HORSE: (0 wins) Kyle Busch—a Dark Horse?  In 2020, yes.
