Cause I'll be rockin this party eight days a week.
Sometimes I struggle with a tie-in for pick and preview posts, sometimes they just fall into my lap. NASCAR is at
Michigan International Speedway this weekend, which is in Brooklyn—albeit not one of the five boroughs, but what better way to present who I feel good about racing in Brooklyn than by being inspired by the rapsmiths who created the
seminal song about insomnious journey to a New York borough.
Thusly, we present our week’s Fantasy NASCAR picks: Beastie Boys Edition.

Don't nit-pick. I know it's a rack for cribbage, not eight-ball.
The Pocono 500 is at
Pocono Raceway this weekend, also known as the world’s largest eight-ball rack. I always loved how it’s called “eight ball” when there are 15 of them. And, yes, I know, it’s because the eight ball is to be dropped last, but it’s confusing how nine ball has nine balls and eight ball has, well, 15.
Look, I don’t know. What other random things can I use to talk about Pocono? It’s perfectly situated, equidistant between the edge of nowhere and the middle of nowhere. And I already burned through the only other Pocono idea I had for the preview post.
They can’t all be winners. And neither can the field. (Ha! Back to NASCAR! Nice save!)

Of course I'm after your lucky charms! I need them more than you do!
Okay, I had a good run for a while, but I’ve been stinking things up recently. To be fair, you can’t pick who will benefit because of weather—it was more likely for you to win the lottery than it was for us to get the Top 10 last week.
So, I’m breaking out the rabbits feet, the four-to-seven-leaf clovers and my lucky underwear, to divine some positive mojo for my picks this week.

Time for another radiant metaphor.
As promised, here are your fantasy NASCAR picks for Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte. This week, we hit the farm to untangle Charlotte’s Web.
Oh, crap, I already used that metaphor in a post title. Well, too late now. Gotta run with what I got, Wilbur.

"What in the hell do you think you're doing here? This is a closed set!"
On Monday, we lost a great one, Dom DeLuise passed away at the age of 75. While he’ll always hold a special place for me with his Mel Brooks movies, many a NASCAR fan will remember him more for his role in The Cannonball Run. Featuring the work of Burt Reynolds, Farrah Fawcett, Roger Moore, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Jackie Chan, Jamie Farr, not to mention Terry Bradshaw and Mel Tillis driving a street legal replica of Donnie Allison’s old Hawaiian Tropic Number 1 car, Dom DeLuise played Burt’s mechanic, Victor Priznim, who had a superhero alter-ego: Captain Chaos.
So, as is our way of wackily honoring our fallen heroes, and in the spirit of—DUN, DUN, DUUUUUUNNNNN—Captain Chaos, we present an all-Captains version of our Darlington Fantasy NASCAR picks.

Time for our weekly efforts to divine who will have success in NASCAR this weekend which will hopefully allow you to parlay that into your Fantasy NASCAR efforts this weekend. Kinda light on the jokes at the moment, so let’s just jump right into it.

We’re at Talladega this weekend for the Aaron’s 499, formerly the Winston 500. Speaking of Winston, The Flintstones used to be pitchmen for Winston cigarettes. Funny how people thought it’d be okay to use cartoon characters to soften the blow of selling bad ideas. Oh, hey, look at that! The Aaron’s Lucky Dog! Purchase that big screen TV you can’t afford: it’s only $99 a month (for three years). “Aaron’s tastes good, like usury should!”
Really gotta stop insulting the sponsors. Sorry, I’ll do better next time, I promise.
Have you noticed that the fantasy picks post tends to become a dumping ground for jokes and gags I couldn’t work into the preview post? Makes the intro disjointed and makes me sound like I’m on drugs. I’m basically a Bobcat Goldthwait routine!

We’re racing at Phoenix International Raceway. Not sure why it gets to call itself “International,” even if it is 150 miles away from Sonora as the crow flies. It’s international in the same way that Region of Waterloo International Airport is “international” because it runs puddle jumpers to Detroit twice a week.
Where was I going with this? Oh, who cares. You’re probably just Googling this to fill out your Fantasy NASCAR grid on Saturday morning because you put it off until the end of the week. Best to give you what you came here for.
