Track Schmak

This week, we had some of our favorite listeners join us in a epic episode of the schmak. Despite being an "off week" for racing, we found plenty to talk about, including:

The Race Team Alliance - how is NASCAR responding?

Tony Stewart wins first Sprint Car race.

Penske winning 5 races this year.

Is Jimmie still a good pick at Indy?

Chase Elliot winning at Chicago.

And drivers who don't have a win - who will be likely to get a win before the chase?

Picks for this week:

Listener Analese: Tony Stewart

Bitter Bros Racing: Jeff Gordon

Listener Nick: Jimmie Johnson

Coach: Dale Jr.

Rob: Kyle Larson

This week, we schmak the magical dice pick that was Coach's Daytona driver Aric Almirola, Joey Logano's sense of entitlement, New Hampshire overall, and announce next week's call in guest show (Tuesday, 6pm pacific).

No picks for next week as there is not a race next weekend.

This week we schmak what little happened at Kans-- err, Kentucky. NEW FEATURE: "If the Chase Started Today" - we prognosticate who would do well, who wouldn't, and who might make it in down the road. A little bit all over the place, really. Anyway, that, and some interesting logic for our fantasy auto-racing picks. Or to put it in SEO terms - "You won't believe how Coach made his picks".

Picks for Daytona:

Rob: Dale Jr. (solid choice)

Coach: Aric Almirola (???)

This week, we schmak that which was schmak-able at Sonoma, and offer up some insight (out-sight?) into the KFC secret recipe as we preview the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky.

Picks:

Rob: Jeff Gordon

Coach: Joey Logano

We're back! This episode is a catch up spectacularrrrrrrrrrrr, including news, silliness, and everybody's favorite, Track Schmack Theatre!

Picks for Sonoma:

Rob: Jimmie Johnson

Coach: Joey Logano (why? I don't know, really).

This week's all new, late night schmak-a-ganza discusses remote race watching (on a plane!), and the big three races this weekend - F1 at Monaco, Indy cars at Indianapolis, and NASCAR at Charlotte for the longest race of the year. This is the first time our picks finished 1-2 this year.

Next week at Dover, we should pick Jimmie Johnson. However, we actually picked:

Rob: Kevin Harvick

Coach: Jeff Gordon

We schmak the "all-star" race, and then come up with a much better version. Hint: using Iowa speedway, invite top drivers from all top tiers of NASCAR, manufacturers battle, and HEAT RACES!

Also, some news and stuff happened.

Picks for the 600:

Coach: Kevin Harvick

Rob: Jimmie Johnson

We schmak all things Kansas, including Clint Bowyer, Danica Patrick, Kevin Harvick vs. Tony Stewart as mentor, NBC hockey coverage vs. FOX, Iowa Speedway news, and lots more!

Picks for the "Sprint Showdown" (i.e., second tier race)

Coach: Kyle Larson

Rob: Danica Patrick

Picks for the All Star Race (i.e., the real race)

Coach: Kasey Kahne

Rob: Joey Logano

This week, we schmaked all that happened at Talladega (not much) and a bit about Bowyers new dingy, and all other sorts of things that may or may not happen at the Kansas mother's day eve night race.

Picks for next week:

Coach: Matt Kenseth

Rob: Brad Keselowski

Sub picks (growler of beer wager):

Coach: Kasey Kahne

Rob: Joey Logano

A race was held. Things happened. Tires blew up again. Richmond was great, but what do we have to look forward to at Talladega?

Picks for next week:

Rob - Jeff Gordon

Coach - David Ragan
