Uncle Max vs. Last Year’s Winners: Martinsville


Thanks to everyone who checked in on me last week—the only thing worse than getting a cold is getting a cold in the middle of a pandemic.  Everybody was terrified I had COVID-19, and even though its nice to have people avoid me for non-odor-related purposes, dirty looks DO get old after awhile.

Arguably the only thing worse than getting sick is going back to work once you’ve gotten better.  You get out of your rhythm, the substitute screws up your whole system for getting things done, the World Series pool isn’t set up—its just crazy all around.  Oh well—with an unpredictable holiday rush coming up, I can’t afford to get sick again—ya hear that, germs?


Friday Night TRUCK SERIES Hall of Fame 200 (4 wins) Matt Crafton—old reliable.


Saturday Afternoon XFINITY SERIES Draft Top 250 (4 wins) Austin Cindric—leaving nothing to chance.


Sunday Afternoon CUP SERIES Auto Trader 500.  LAST YEAR’S WINNER (8 wins) Martin Truex Jr.  FAVORITE: (2 wins) Kevin Harvick—the domination continues.  NEXT FAVORITE: (2 wins) Brad Keselowski—easiest way to advance?  Win.  DARK HORSE: (1 wins) Clint Bowyer—a farewell victory.
