Wow—what a Daytona 500, huh? No, seriously, I’m asking because I couldn’t stay up to catch the ending!
For those who don’t know I’m an assistant manager in the retail field on the east coast. That means that whenever there’s a rain delay at a Sunday race, I tend to miss the finish. I’ve looked into moving my schedule around but, well, its either working Sundays or working Mondays, and I love having my fall Sundays available to give my remote control a workout.
Anyways, it was a winless weekend all around for me, but at least Repeat Winners just barely missed out on a win. And with McDriver defending his “title” this weekend, I got a chance to get off to a quick start!
Friday Night TRUCK SERIES BrakeBest 159: Sheldon Creed—kind of an arbitrary race distance there, ISC.
Saturday Evening XFINITY SERIES Super Start 188: AJ Allmendinger—maybe I should be picking Cindric? Aaaah…
Sunday Afternoon CUP SERIES O’Reilly 253: Repeat Winner—Michael McDowell. Favorite: Chase Elliott—last week 2nd, this week 1st, next week 0th. Next Favorite: Martin Truex Jr.—due to a clerical error the Daytona Road Course is NOT one of his home tracks. Dark Horse: Cole Custer—if McDowell DOES win this race I’m lighting myself on fire.
