Uncle Max vs. Last Year’s Winners: Phoenix Finale



Well, here we are, near the end of a season like no other.  And its time for my last round of picks.  I’ve included my championship picks as well, because hey—might as well.

Its been a rough year—not just for society overall, but for my picks.  Last Year’s Winner has really whupped up on me, and the only solace is knowing that if it comes back next year, it’ll be damn near impossible to figure out who won what race this year with all the cancellations and postponements.

Oh, by the way—I *will* be back next year.  As long as I don’t get trampled on Black Friday.  Again.


Friday Night TRUCK SERIES Lucas Oil 150 (4 wins) Zane Smith—capping off a sneaky-good season.


Saturday Afternoon XFINITY SERIES Desert Diamond 200 (4 wins) Chase Briscoe—going out a champion.


Sunday Late Afternoon CUP SERIES BlueGreen Vacations 500.  LAST YEAR’S WINNER (8 wins) Denny Hamlin  FAVORITE: (2 wins) Kevin Harvick—just to screw with everyone.  NEXT FAVORITE: (2 wins) Brad Keselowski—And yes, he IS my championship pick.  DARK HORSE: (1 wins) Kyle Busch—closing out a disappointing 2020 with two wins in three races.
