S6E03 - Texas and Kansas predictions, Bristol and Kentucky review

S6E03 - Texas and Kansas predictions, Bristol and Kentucky review

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.
