So, that’s not the way I wanted to start the season—0 for 5 across three races. And while I know it doesn’t matter, I swear on my lucky numbers that I was thisclose to picking Nick Sanchez for the Truck Series race. Oh well—close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and hemoglobin numbers.
Speaking of which, I had my annual physical the other day. I can honestly say that I’m pretty much average across the board—average height, average amount overweight, average high (but not too high) cholesterol numbers, etc. I’ve always been thankful that I don’t have any major health issues (knock on wood!) but then again, I also don’t have anything I’m particularly spectacular at either—no big muscles, no amazing hair, etc. Maybe I’m destined to go through life looking like the most generic dude imaginable, but I wouldn’t mind having a decent natural tan.
Saturday Afternoon TRUCK SERIES FR8 208: KYLE BUSCH—“And put your little hand in miiiiine…” *smashes alarm clock*
Saturday Evening XFINITY SERIES Raptor 250: COLE CUSTER—proving that SHR still has a solid Xfinity program (well, half of one).
Sunday CUP SERIES Ambetter 400: 13th Place Picks ZANE SMITH. FAVORITE: JOEY LOGANO—better to rebound with a win than off a wall. NEXT FAVORITE: MARTIN TRUEX JR.—…and I hope that I Am-better at making picks this weekend (sorry). DARK HORSE: MICHAEL MCDOWELL—bonus points if Larry Mac says his last name.
