Nascar Race Picks: Uncle Max vs. The Tarot Deck—Pocono



Blame it on the rain—I finally got a “Next Favorite” win!  I gotta say that these Monday afternoon races are pretty irritating, though.  I mean, I don’t work a traditional schedule (nights, weekends and holidays are the norm for me) but how many people can actually watch a race on a Monday at 12pm Eastern, 9am Pacific?  Then again, when a track doesn’t have lights, I don’t know when they could reschedule it for, unless they start holding Sunday MORNING races for more of a weather cushion.  Hmmm, “Breakfast with Nascar”, hey it could work.

Speaking of which, I spent most of Sunday watching the Wimbledon men’s final.  Not many people know this about me, but I played a little tennis in high school.  Well, I was on the team for three years, but I only played a little—best I ever got was backup for 2nd boys’ doubles.  On the plus side, well, I guess there were no plus sides beyond getting to be on a co-ed varsity team.


Saturday Early Afternoon TRUCK SERIES (2 wins) CRC 150: Ross Chastain—A Melon Grows in Long Pond.


Saturday Late Afternoon XFINITY SERIES (1 win) Pocono Mountains 225: Chase Elliott—he needs a win in CUP, but this one doesn’t hurt.


Sunday CUP SERIES HighPoint 400:  The Tarot Deck (1 win) selects the Queen of Swords, last week’s winner Martin Truex Jr.  FAVORITE: Chase Elliott—now THIS is the win he needs. NEXT FAVORITE (1 win): Ross Chastain—would this count as a sweep?  DARK HORSE: Kevin Harvick—feel-good win’s gotta come sometime.
