Another win! As you’ll see below I picked Ross Chastain as my Dark Horse before he becomes too successful to be a dark horse anymore. For what its worth, I define a “Dark Horse” as any driver who hasn’t won yet this year (minus any fluke winners, aka The Front Row Motorsports Rule”) and isn’t in the Playoffs.
Speaking of The Melon Man, it looks like Trackhouse might have been the mid-level team to figure things out with the new car. Pretty impressive for a year-old team which just combined with a consistently mid-pack team to run up front. And its not just Chastain—Daniel Suarez is running great too! It goes to show that with some hard work, the right drivers, and a little luck, a two-car satellite team can succeed in Nascar. And by “succeed” I mean “do better than 23XI”.
TRUCK SERIES: off
Saturday Afternoon XFINITY SERIES United Rentals 200: Justin Allgaier—let’s hope this isn’t a repeat of my Xfinity Series picks from LAST year.
Sunday CUP SERIES Ruoff Mortgage 500k: LAST RACE’S WINNER picks Alex Bowman. THE ROULETTE WHEEL picks 4th in points Austin Cindric. FAVORITE (1 win): Martin Truex Jr.—looked strong last week. Lets see if he can avoid a flat tire. NEXT FAVORITE (1 win): Kyle Busch—looked strong last week. Lets see if he can avoid a flat tire. DARK HORSE: Ross Chastain—looked strong last wee—ah, you get the idea.
