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



First off, congratulations to whatever dark forces control the Tarot Deck on their first win of the year.  But more-importantly, its March Madness time!  Here’s my five biggest pieces of advice to have a shot at winning your office pool:

1. At least one 12-seed will beat a 5-seed.

2. Gonzaga always chokes at some point.

3. With 1, 2, & 3 seeds, chalk is your friend.

4. When in doubt, pick a power conference.

5. If you’re still in doubt, pick the team closest to the site of the game.

…and of course, have fun—because you know that Theresa in accounting who picked winners based on schools her friends went to will somehow win it all.


Saturday Afternoon TRUCK SERIES FR8 208: John Hunter Nemechek--Gee, its a good thing 10,000 RPM Equipment never sponsored a race.


Saturday Evening XFINITY SERIES Raptor 250: Josh Berry—Nascar’s new super-sub (he’s good--Greg Sacks good!).


Sunday CUP SERIES Ambetter 400:  The Tarot Deck (1 win) selects The Ace of Pentacles, first in points Alex Bowman.  FAVORITE: Ryan Blaney—back to back wins (he won here last year) after back-to-back wins.  NEXT FAVORITE: Kyle Busch—Two-time winners twice in a row.  DARK HORSE: Erik Jones—hopefully RP doesn’t complain too much in victory lane.

Spade Racing Opens a Box of Panini PRIZM Cards, Part 10 of 12



Pack 10: Who IS She, Winning Denny, and Getting Crazy


FIRST LOOK: Brittney Zamora has made zero national touring series starts, but I’ve kept getting cards of her for the past few years.  Who the heck IS she and how can I get her PR rep?


TO THE BACK: 47 wins is a pretty impressive total for any driver, but even more-impressively Denny has done it all for one team (JGR), in a car with one number (11) and with really only one primary sponsor (FedEx)—now THAT’S consistency!


SAY WHAT: “Whatever you’re doing, make sure you’re watching the last lap at Martinsville.  Trust me.”


RATING: 7 Wall Rides out of 10

Musically Declined: Kyle Petty, Nothing a Little Love Won’t Cure



Kyle Petty—racer, philanthropist, commentator, and musician!  Kyle’s musical exploits have been going on since the 80’s, but just how good are they?  Let’s take a look back at the songs of Nascar’s favorite long-haired scion.


The Song: Nothing a Little Love Won’t Cure


The Star: Kyle Petty


The Clip: https://youtu.be/PZGtQPTOfiw?t=50


The Review: Kyle Petty once wrote that “as a songwriter, I’m a pretty good singer”, and boy is that true here.  One of Kyle’s first performances (coming in 1988 on TNN) unfortunately shows off his rather-thin voice.  We can give him a pass on his vocal limitations to nervousness, but we CANNOT let that pink sweater go unpunished.


The Verdict: OK for a first effort, but Kyle could’ve gone for whatever the opposite of helium is.
