Track Schmak

Here are some excerpts from the live stream watching of the final race at Phoenix, 11/8/20, including a flashback to our old show in 2014, when we discussed Chase Elliot as an 18 year old rookie.

Final Schmak standings for the year:

1. Lozell: 10
2. Coach: 9
3. Rob:6

See you next year!

Unlike the race, the Schmak this week was completely rained out.

But we did make picks for next week at Martinsville:

Rob: Denny Hamlin
Lozell: Bubba Wallace
Coach: Brad Keselowski

We Schmak the frustrating end to last week's Kansas race, talk about silly season driver moves, and make our picks for Texas.

Picks: 

• Lozell: Denny Hamlin (again)
• Coach: Kevin Harvick (again)
• Rob: Chase Elliot (again)

We Schmak a few things here and there. Who (or what) will be Clint Bowyer's FOX booth buddy? What's the deal with Kyle Larson's statement timing? Picks for next week:

Coach: Harvick
Rob: Mar... no, Ham.. no Mart... no, Denny Hamlin!
Lozell: Brad Keselowski

We talk new Schedule 2021! Kurt Busch winning with a loose or missing lug nut. A bunch of other stuff! Check it out!

Picks for 'dega:

• Lozell: Denny Hamlin
• Coach: Aric Almirola
• Rob: Chase Elliot

Show Notes!

For the Tom Slick reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3ctiVZluZM

Kyle Busch sucker punches Joey! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zevk18rv9P4

Picks for Vegas:

Coach: Harvick
Rob: Truex
Lozell: Hamlin

Yep, pretty predictable pics.

We talk Richmond - was it as boring as Dover? Nope. We clarify the Cup Driver racing in Xfinity, and a surprising Cup driver who did indeed race in the Friday Xfinity race at Richmond (not to be confused with Saturday's Xfinity Race), Daniel "Miguel" Suarez future, and a bunch of other stuff I don't remember right now.

Picks for Bristol:

• Rob - Denny Hamlin
• Lozell - Chase Elliot
• Coach - Brad Keselowski

Topics - Darlington race reactions, Mike Wallace comments, Bubba Wallace future, Jimmie Johnson & Chip Ganassi, California Speedway reconfiguration, Greg Biffle, and more?

Picks for Richmond:

Lozell - Denny Hamlin
Coach - Martin Truex Jr.
Rob - Kevin Harvick

It's a long one, but a good one. Two Times at Dover, and once at Daytona. Seven Time becomes a No-more-times. 

Lots of good topics, but stay for the post-pick special topic!

I needed to get this recording out quickly, so fewer edits on this one.

Picks for Darlington:

Coach: Kevin Harvick
Rob: Denny Hamlin
Lozell: Brad Keselowski

We Schmak the Road Course, and make picks for Dover:

Saturday

• Rob - Harvick
  
• Lozell - Truex Jr.
  
• Coach - Jimmie Johnson
  

Sunday

• Coach - Martin Truex Jr.
  
• Rob - Chad Knaus… err Billy Byron
  
• Lozell - Denny Hamlin
  

More silly season updates, and picks for the Daytona Road Course:

• Lozell - Ryan Blaney
• Coach  - Chase Elliot
• Rob - Martin Truex Jr. 

We discuss the NASCAR silly season start, including Bubba Wallace - should he stay (and get part ownership) or go?

Another Double Header weekend up ahead - weather looks cloudy but not super rainy, so they might get both races in.

Picks for Michigan 1&2:

Michigan 1

• Lozell: Kevin Harvick
• Coach: Brad Keselowski
• Rob: Matt Kenseth

Michigan 2

• Coach: Aric Almirola
• Rob: Kevin Harvick
• Lozell: Denny Hamlin

We couldn't stay away! Alternately, we couldn't plan ahead well enough and get all our picks in for 2 full weeks of racing last week.

Underglow - what did you think? We're pretty unanimous in our opinion.

Picks this week - who passes on the odds on favorite at Texas, and who completely mis-reads their notes and picks their Texas driver for Kansas.? 

Ward Burton apparently had some fun with a snake in his tractor garage. 

All this and a tiny bit more, this week on the Schmak.

Picks for Texas:

Lozell: Kyle Busch
Coach: Kevin Harvick
Rob: Denny Hamlin

Picks for Kansas:

Coach: Chase "the finger" Elliot
Rob: Kevin Harvick
Lozell: Truex Jr. 

This was recorded before the Kentucky race, but because of various technical issues, the episode was released a little late. 

Predictions for the races:

Wallmart 400 @ Kentucky
Coach: Hamlin
Lozell: Keselowski
Rob: Harvick

All-Star Open @ Bristol
Lozell: Reddick
Rob: Bubba Wallace
Coach: Dibenetteo

All-Star Race @ Bristol

Coach: Keselowski
Lozell: Truex Jr.
