EDITOR’S NOTE: Uncle Max is still on vacation—he texted me his picks again for the week. Note that non-points events do NOT count, so no “Repeat Winner” picks this week, and anything Uncle Max gets right won’t count towards the finally standings.
Saturday Afternoon TRUCK SERIES Speedy Cash 400 (2 wins): John Hunter Nemechek—gonna keep riding the JHN bandwagon till the wheels fall off.
Saturday Evening XFINITY SERIES Alsco 250 (1 win): JJ Haley—staking HIS claim to the new Kaulig Cup ride next year.
(remember, these picks don’t count)
Sunday Night CUP SERIES All-Star Race. Repeat winner (1 win)—n/a. FAVORITE (1 win): Brad Keselowski—time to prove they’re not just forgetting about 2021 at Ford. NEXT FAVORITE (1 win): Kyle Busch—and he won’t even have to be parked afterwards. DARK HORSE (2 wins): Matt DiBennedetto—double win with the Open and All-Star Races.
