Justin Allgaier is my pick to win the Xfinity race in Hampton, Georgia on Friday night. You can listen and watch on the CW or listen on the Performance Racing Network on Sirius XM channel 90. Allgaier is a native of Riverton Illinois, which is near Springfield, and he drives for Junior Motorsports. Dale Earnhardt is the team’s co-owner with his sister Kelly Earnhardt Miller. I picked him to win because I am sick of Austin Hill. Hill seems to have a grip on the Xfinity series, and I think it’s time to have a little gator attack.

On Saturday, the Nextel Cup series goes to Chase Elliott’s home track in Hampton for the first of five races in the in-season tournament. The races will be broadcast on TNT. I think that the new in-season tournament will make racing more interesting. My pick to win the first race of the tournament is Joey Logano. I do not think that number 11 will win. I think that William Byron will have a better shot than Denny.
