  Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome to this week's NASCAR Quick Hit. Here at
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: shippin Nation, I am Eric also known as the Game
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: on Discord, and today we're going to be discussing the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Worth four hundred taking place at the Texas Motor Speedway.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: As always, please go ahead and hit that like button
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and subscribe to our channel if you haven't already. It
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: really goes an incredible long way in helping us with
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that YouTube algorithm. This weekend, TV coverage of the Worth
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: four hundred is taking place on Fox Sports one in
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: America and TSN three this weekend in Canada, with coverage
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: beginning at three thirty pm Eastern Time. And once again
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that's on Fox Sports one in the US and TSN
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: three in Canada three thirty pm Eastern on Sunday this weekend.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: We are once again back racing on a one and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a half mile intermediate racetrack, so dominators will come into play. However,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: this week we have a decent amount of place differential
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: cash plays, so likely one plus dominator in cash game
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: assuming you grab those place differential plays, or two plus
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: dominators in tournaments. And unlike the Truckers and the Exfinity Boys,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the Cup Series did in fact, get to run an
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: entire practice and qualifying session on Sunday, practice and qualifying
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: where cancel will do to rain for both the Truck
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Series and the Coxfinity Series. So the Cup Series were
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the first ones out on the racetrack this weekend, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, there was nothing really to write home about
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: as far as practice was go it is concerned. It
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: was a no one got any accidents, no crazy storylines,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: just a boring old one point five mile practice session.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: So all right, let's go ahead and break down the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: starting lineup. Let me get my notes here. Where are
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: we at boom starting on Paul Carson, host of rhost
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of AR had a fantastic practice session and went and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: backed up that performance by putting it on the pole.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We have oftentimes seen clean air be the king in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the next Gen car, and hosts of R makes a
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: great dominator option being only seventy four hundred dollars and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: having clean air to start the race with, as well
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: as the best pit stall all day. So for a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: low owned dominator play in tournaments, I love meeting from Carson,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: host of AR starting second, William Byron in the next
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Gen car. Willy B has one win and a worst
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: finish of seventh at Texas, and Willy B should be
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: considered your top dominator play either for tournaments or for
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: cash games. Next up, starting third, Austin Sindric. When NASCAR
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: comes to one point five mile tracks, Austin Cindric really
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: isn't a name that comes up in discussion. However, much
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: like Kosovar, he did have a fantastic practice session and
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: then back that up with a third place starting position. However,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: his best finish here at Texas is fifteenth with only
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: one lap lead. Starting fourth is Kyle Larson. Larson has
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: led laps in every single next Gen Texas race, and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in fact, he's led one hundred and ninety five of them. However,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the finishes haven't always matched up to his dominating performances,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: as his finishes have been twenty first, thirty first, and ninth.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So should Larson be considered a top dominator play along
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: with Willie B. Absolutely, but finishes haven't always matched up
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: with his lap leading performances, so that is something to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: keep in mind. Starting fifth, Michael McDowell. Mike mack had
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: an oppressive practice much like his teammate host of Ar,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and backed it up with a fantastic qualifying run. Michael
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: McDowell has finished his OH twenty fifth, fifteenth, and eleventh.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I don't anticipate him being lap leader, but he could
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: potentially pay off his cheap sixty three hundred dollars price
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: tag with a good performance. Starting six is Ty Gibbs.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Ty Gibbs started racing his sprint car Lo and behold
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: he found speed in the cup car. All getting aside,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone anticipated the cheapest Joe Gibbs racing
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: driver to also be the fastest in qualifying for the team. Yeah,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: he had a good practice. He needs a good day
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: for me to fully feel confident in suggesting to play
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Ty Gibbs. But he is in great equipment and he
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: did have a good practice, so maybe Texas is where
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he turns it all around. Starting seventh is Josh Barry.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Barry showed that Syndric's qualifying effort was not a fluke,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: as Barry also put his pencil powered forward into the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: seventh starting position. However, his practice numbers were nothing to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: write home about, and I do anticipate him losing spots
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: throughout the race. Starting eighth Denny Hamlin. Denny has finishes
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of thirtieth, fifth, and tenth from starting spots eleventh, tenth,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and eighth. Uh so he has proven he can finish
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: well here at Texas. However, he does only have thirty
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: nine laps led throughout those three races, so Denny really
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: hasn't led that many laps here at Texas. Starting ninth,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Bubba Wallace. A solid qualifying effort from Bubba after a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: very middle of the road practice session. Bubba has shown
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: speed this year at one point five mile tracks, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: if he can keep his cool throughout the race, should
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: be a contender on Sunday, starting tenth. Aj Allmendinger. The
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Dinger has been quite oppressive this season, and his colleague
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Chevrolet was very fast during the short run in practice
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and in qualifying. His ten lap and fifteen lap practice
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: averages weren't the best. However, I can look past that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: as the Dinger has finished top ten in his last
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: three intermediate starts. So past three intermediate tracks Dinger has
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: finished top ten. Can he make it four in a row?
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Starting eleventh? Bowman the Showman Bowmen. The Showman hasn't really
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: been the showman at Texas, with past finishes of thirty seventh, twelfth,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and twenty ninth with a whopping one lap lead. Starting twelfth,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Christopher Busher. Buscher really hasn't shown the speed at Texas
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: like he has other mile and a half tracks in
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the next gen car. His finishes have been fifteenth, fourteenth,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and thirtieth with two laps lead. That's not great. However,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: his car did seem to improve in the long run
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of practice, which is always a good thing. Starting thirteenth
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Zane Smith. Front Row Motorsports had to trim this thing
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: out for Zane Smith and qualifying, as he was slow
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: all throughout practice. However, he's somehow managed a thirteenth starting spot.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I can only assume he will be losing spots on Sunday,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and in that case, I will be fading. Starting fourteenth.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Eric Jones. That Jones boy has finishes of nineteenth, thirtieth,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and sixth here at Texas. I kind of think he'll
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: be finishing middle of the pack again. He has shown
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: some bright spots this season. I just don't see it
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: out of him though on Sunday. I will love to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: be proven wrong. However, starting fifteenth Justin Haley. This year
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: has been quite the struggle for Haley and by looks
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: of practice, I kind of think those struggles are going
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to continue. On Sunday sixteenth. Christopher Bell. See Bell has
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: finished fourth at Texas in twenty twenty three, and his
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: other finishes were seventeenth and thirty Fourthugh practice was not
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: great for Bell either, but regardless, he should be in
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: your player pool. As we all know he can win
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: on any given Sunday, but practice in prior performance is
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: not the best at Texas for Seabell starting a seventeenth.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Tyler Reddick Love me some Tyler Reddick at Texas. I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: have a very funny typo of Tyler Redick's name here
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: at Texas that I can't say on stream, but it's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: making me laugh on the inside. Reddick finished fourth here
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: last year and won this race in twenty twenty two.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I always love Reddick at these one point five mile tracks.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Noah Gregson. Noah Gregson starting eighteenth. Is it a Noah
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Gregson day on Sunday? I think so, Bob. I think
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: so Noah had a strong showing in practice and comes
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: in at the lovely price tag of sixty eight hundred
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: on DraftKings. Plus he was sporting quite at the ten
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: gallon hat during practice, so give me some Noah Gregson
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: nineteenth Austin Dillon. Nothing I saw of eighty three on
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Saturday leads me to believe he'll have a strong performance
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. To be fair, however, he did finish eighth
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: here last year, so I'll be fading. But he did
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: do good here last year, so hey, he could do
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it again. Twentieth Cole Custer slow in practice, middle of
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the pack and qualifying hire beware. Twenty first Riley Herbs.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Let me scroll down a little bit here on the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: stone page so you guys can see the rest of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the Here you go, boom. Twenty first Riley Herbs. Riley
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: is a fade for me this week, as this is
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: his first visit to Texas in a next gen car
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and he was slow through practice. However, he is in
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: fantastic equipment and that is always a butt with Riley Herbs.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: So he's a fade for me. But if you're looking
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: for some low owned pivots, he might be worth a
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: look because he's in good equipment. Twenty second Chase Briscoe
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and hereins are cash plays of the slate. Risco is
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: in great equipment and had fantastic long run speeds during practice.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I anticipate him moving throughout the field. On Sunday twenty third,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Ty Dylan look Ty Dylan has been quite impressive this year. However,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: in practice in qualifying he was anything but, So I'll
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: be fading Ty Dylan on Sunday twenty fourth. Ryan Blaney
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: another cash play. Blaney had a solid practice but a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: not so great qualifying run. Finished fourth here in twenty
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: twenty two. However, his other finishes were thirtieth and twenty eighth,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: so his most recent history here has not been great.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: But it is Ryan Blaney starting twenty fourth, so cash
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: play yes. Twenty fifth Daniel Suarez in middle of the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: road practice for me and Migo leads me to believe
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: he'll be finishing this race roughly around where he starts,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: so probably a fade for me. Twenty sixth Kyle Bush
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: dreadfully slow in practice. However, much like his teammate, he
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: did finish the ninth here last year, so him and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Dylan I believe he also, I know he qualified fairly
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: crappy here last year and finished ninth, and I think
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Dylan did as well. So Dylan and Bush were slow
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: here in practice last year and then followed up with
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: eighth and ninth place finishes. Still, it will be very
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: hard for me to include Kyle Busch in my player
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: pool this week, and this is coming from a diehard
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Kyle Busch fan. However, that's seven to eleven car he's driving.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Looks pretty good. Looks pretty good. Twenty seventh Joey Logano
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: another cash option. Logano has finishes of eleventh, twenty, first,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and second and has good long run speed in practice.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Twenty eighth John Hunter and Nimachek. Much like Suarez, I
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: think John Hunter finishes near to where he started on
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: twenty ninth. Chase Elliott Hello cash play. Chase won this
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: race last year and had good long run practice speed.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Thirtieth Brad Keselowski. He's gonna be interesting to see what
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: kind of ownership Kesalowski brings on Sunday because he has
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: been a fantastic at Kansas. Fantastic Kezes finishes have been second, seventh,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and eighth. However, he's been anything but good this year.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: So will Texas finally be the racetrack where Kesilowski gets
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: his mojo back this season? I don't know, but it'll
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: be interesting to find out thirty first, Ross Chastain. All
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: of track House looks slow on Saturday, and I will
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: have a hard time playing any of them on Sunday.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Chastaine's pass finished this year for thirty second, second, and thirteenth. However,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: he's never started this far back, so I think I'm
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: going to be fair. Aiden Mellonman thirty second. Todd Gilliland
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: does not have the same speed as Noah. I'll be
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: fading thirty third Ryan Priest. Priest has been impressive lately,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: but his practice speeds were quite dreadful. However, he did
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: finish twelfth here last year from a twenty six starting spot,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: so it would not at all be surprising if he's
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: able to pick off some spots on Sunday. Thirty fourth
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Ricky Stenhouse Junior middle of the road practice with a
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: dreadfully slow qualifying run. Stenhouse's prior finishes have been twenty third, ninth,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and twenty seventh. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: fading Jesse Love. Look, I love me some Jesse Love. However,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I don't love this play on Sunday. Slow in practice
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and making his Cup Texas debut, that's a no go
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: for me. Cody Ware starting thirty six or fading that
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: boy thirty seventh Shane Van Gizbergan. It is concerning that
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: SVG was so slow that he sent much himself between
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Codywear and Chad Fincham. I'll be fading SVG and starting
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: dead last is Chad Fincham? Hey? Yeah? None. He will
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: not be getting played from me at all. My player
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: pool will probably be stopping at Ryan Priest. I can't
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: see me playing Stenhouse Love where Gisbergen or Fincham. So
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: that's a little bonus player pool information from me. That
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: is everything I have, at least as far as his
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: video is concerned. For the Worth four hundred taking place
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: at the Texas Motor Speedway. I still have projections to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: create in ownership to do, and slate plans and core
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: plays and all that fun stuff to do. So to
