Spade Racing presents Uncle Max vs. Repeat Winners: Charlotte


Well, last week’s race was a disaster, wasn’t it?  I admit that I’m still not as big of a Nascar expert as I should be, but why were they racing when they couldn’t see?  From the looks of things they couldn’t see anything—it would be like if a football game was played with the players in blindfolds.

Oh well, on the plus side my vacation officially begins tomorrow!  I’ll still be providing my picks as usual, but by race day Sunday I’ll be manning the BBQ at my friend’s shore house, trying yet again to explain to someone why well done steak is basically just warm beef jerky.


Friday Night TRUCK SERIES NC Education Lottery 200 (1 win): John Hunter Nemechek—three names, three wins.


Saturday Afternoon XFINITY SERIES Alsco 300: Austin Cindric—come on AC—help get me off the schnide!


Sunday CUP SERIES Coca-Cola 600. Repeat winner—Chase Elliott.  FAVORITE (1 win): Alex Bowman—he’s won enough to move from Dark Horse to Favorite. NEXT FAVORITE: Kyle Larson—a home track for almost everyone, but especially for HMS.  DARK HORSE (2 wins): Cole Custer—nice rebound after a scary wreck at COTA.
