The NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs kick off at Darlington Raceway this weekend, while the NASCAR Xfinity Series inches closer to its Playoff season. Scott Dixon is coming off back-to-back wins in IndyCar, looking to make it three in a row at Portland International Raceway.

Before we look at this week’s race picks from the Pit Pass Network crew, let’s give a shoutout to last week’s winners! Tiffany Faw correctly guessed that Grant Enfinger would win in the NASCAR Craftsman Trucks Series and Jake Finch correctly picked Dixon’s IndyCar win!
