- 2:32and break this bad boy down. The Auto Trader Echo Park Automotive four hundred
- 2:38at Texas Motor Speedway. I think races in Texas have by far the longest
- 2:46race names in the sport. It is, first off, the most important
- 2:52thing. The race is three o'clock car. TV coverage begins at three o'clock
- 2:57green flag at three thirty Fox Sports one in America and TSN five in Canada.
- 3:04So three o'clock coverage start three point thirty green flag, Fox Sports one
- 3:09in America, TSN five in Canada. The race is four hundred miles,
- 3:17two hundred and sixty seven laps, and we have one hundred and eighty six
- 3:23point nine dominator points up for grabs on DraftKings and this week I will be
- 3:30playing between two and three dominators in all of my lineups, mostly two.
- 3:38All right, so between two and three dominators in each of my lineups.
- 3:42And let's go ahead and discuss some of my favorite drivers on the slate.
- 3:47Let me go ahead and pull up a or is my screen share here?
- 3:53It is? That's not it? There it is? Boom all right?
- 3:58Here is our blank version of the NASCAR Stone. And fun fact, for
- 4:04those members of ship at Nation, we are unveiling a newer revision of the
- 4:13stone, maybe even as early as this race this weekend, So keep your
- 4:17e appeal to that same data, same format, just a little bit easier
- 4:23for you folks to view. All right, Before we jump in to discussing
- 4:28my four favorite plays of the slate, or four of my favorite plays of
- 4:31the slate, I did want to quickly mention both Kyle Busch. Where's he
- 4:38at here? I think we're sorted. Let me sort this by qualifying or
- 4:43yes, I wanted to mention both Kyle Busch, who's starting thirty fifth,
- 4:47and one Jimmy Johnson, who's starting thirty seventh. Both of these drivers had
- 4:54accidents in qualifying, both by themselves totally self induced. Bush smacked the wall
- 5:00so hard that his team had to roll out a backup car, and they
- 5:06were so unprepared to roll out of backup car that the backup car wasn't even
- 5:11decaled up. It literally was just a Gray Richard children's car with Bush on
- 5:17it right with the Kyle Busch nameplate on it. That's it. So not
- 5:21only do does the RCR eight team have to prep this car to be the
- 5:30primary car for Kyle, they also have to wrap it because there's no no
- 5:35sponsors on it or anything. So Kyle is starting thirty fifth. He is
- 5:41going to be incredibly chocky, incredibly chocky for his his driving prowess and his
- 5:47thirty fifth starting spot, so just be warned of that. And Jimmy Johnson,
- 5:53while he did smack the wall in practice, he did not smack it
- 5:58hard enough where the team wasn't able to fix it, so the team did
- 6:01decide to stick with their primary car. However, JJ did not post a
- 6:08qualifying time, so he is starting thirty seventh. And truthfully, Jimmy Johnson
- 6:15has not at all set the world on fire in his limited Next Gen racing
- 6:24experiences. His next Gen races like so to speak. However, he is
- 6:30a seven time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, and he's in a decently fast Toyota.
- 6:39I mean, would you rather play Daniel Hemric or Jimmy Johnson in a
- 6:43Legacy Motorsports Toyota or Ty Dylan? Thank god, I'm gonna pick Jimmy Johnson
- 6:46if I'm comparing the three, right, So, just wanted to mention that
- 6:51he was in an accident along with Kyle Busch two separate instances. Kyle Busch
- 6:58is in a backup car, Jimmy is not in a backup car, but
- 7:01both of them are starting in the rear thirty fifth and thirty seven. So
- 7:08just think of those two points when you're making your lineups this weekend. All
- 7:13right, let me go ahead and change this order from top to bottom qualifying
- 7:17position rather, and let's go ahead and discuss my favorite dominator, actually my
- 7:25two favorite dominator plays here and again it feels like I'm cheating whenever I discuss
- 7:30this driver. But he's too damn good. And that is one young money
- 7:35Kyle Larson. I believe he is the most expensive on DraftKings. He is
- 7:41at eleven thousand on DraftKings fourteen thousand on FanDuel, he is your pole sitter.
- 7:46He is currently as of this recording at plus four hundred to win,
- 7:53which I also believe is the yes. He is currently the odds on favorite
- 7:59and should probably keep that way up until race time. He was fast right
- 8:03off the truck, third fast in the one lap speeds, and he was
- 8:09in Group B, so the track was slower by default for his group.
- 8:13Then he was first in the five laps, second in the ten lap,
- 8:15and first in the fifteen lap averages. Then he backed up those practice speeds
- 8:20by putting it on the pole. Once again, Larson is fast. This
- 8:26is a mile and a half. Larson led one hundred and eighteen laps in
- 8:31the next Gen Era here at Texas. If he could get out in front
- 8:37of Ty Gibbs to start the race, I don't see any reason why he
- 8:41couldn't lead, you know, the entire the entirety of stage one, all
- 8:43right, because that's just the type of driver. Kyle Larson is. So
- 8:50Larson most expensive on DraftKings and FANDLE. However, he is my top play,
- 8:56top dominator play of the weekend. Now my second favorite dominator play is
- 9:03right underneath him here starting in fourth place. That's Tyler Reddick. He is
- 9:09in a twenty three eleven Toyota. He is ten thousand on DraftKings and thirteen
- 9:13to five on fan duel, and he's currently plus seven hundred along with Denny
- 9:22and William Byron to win the race this weekend. He has been tremendous at
- 9:28I think every mile and a half, particularly here at Texas. As you
- 9:35can see on the screen, he was seventh and fourth in the first and
- 9:39five first, second and first in the ten lap, fifteen lap and twenty
- 9:43lap averages. In the past, he's led one hundred and six laps here
- 9:48at the two full Next Gen races here at Texas, and he won the
- 9:54twenty twenty two race here at Texas when he was still in the RCR eight
- 9:58car. Tyler Redick is awesome at a mile and a half tracks. He's
- 10:07fantastic at running the high lane. I don't think that's gonna happen here at
- 10:13Texas. However, the groove was widening out a bit during the truck race
- 10:18and during the amazing Xfinity race, so hopefully we see a bit more too
- 10:22wide racing here than we normally do. But yeah, anyway, I'm rambling
- 10:28here. I expect Tyler Redick to be up towards the front by the end
- 10:31of the day on Sunday. Next up, let's go ahead and highlight old
- 10:39middle of the road bad Brad Keselowski. Bad Brad starting twenty second on Sunday,
- 10:46which is incredibly middle of the road. However, he has been very
- 10:52good here at Texas in the past two Next generations. He has finishes of
- 10:56seventh and eighth here, and he led thirty one laps in the twenty twenty
- 11:03two race. Now, the twenty twenty two race did have some tire issues,
- 11:07but still he led thirty three laps during that race and finished eighth.
- 11:11Okay, if he gives you a top ten finish from twenty second starting position
- 11:18at eighty two hundred, that's pretty solid day. I expect to see Brad
- 11:24Kay up towards the top ten by the end of the day. Yeah,
- 11:28he's in a fast forward, still chasing that elusive first next Gen victory.
- 11:35It could happen on Sunday. We will see then. I think actually,
- 11:39we are we are finally finally says finally over only eleven minutes into this video.
- 11:46We are up to my favorite value play of the week, and I'm
- 11:54gonna go with one, Zane Smith. Zane Smith is fifty five hundred on
- 12:01DraftKings, twenty five hundred on FanDuel, and I think that might be literally
- 12:07No, there's a few other lower than zayin on fandel. It's been no
- 12:11secret that Zain has had a fairly terrible twenty twenty four NASCAR season, no
- 12:20real finishes to write home about, and the one race where he was trending
- 12:26good, which was Las Vegas, he had a very good practice session there,
- 12:30he got into an accident and was eliminated on lap four. So Zain
- 12:35qualified eighteenth for the race this weekend at Texas and was pretty much middle of
- 12:43the road in his practice speeds twenty third in the one lap, eighteen and
- 12:46fifteenth in the five and the ten lap, and then tenth in the fifteen
- 12:52lap. However, he does have next Gen experience here at Texas as he
- 13:00finish twenty fourth here last year from a thirty third starting position for front Row
- 13:07Motorsports, so in my opinion he is in better equipment. Well, I
- 13:15don't know if you're comparing Spire in front Row, probably fairly equal. I
- 13:18would probably give the nudge to Spire just a little bit due to their affiliation
- 13:24with Hendrick. But you have Zane Smith in a Spire Motorsports car at fifty
- 13:30five hundred. He's proven last year in a quote unquote less than car that
- 13:35he can pass cars because he passed what nine started thirty third, finished twenty
- 13:41fourth, starting eighteenth on Sunday. I'm kind of hoping he just stays there,
- 13:48right. If he loses a ton of track position, that would be
- 13:54bad. Of course, we want to see him move up the field.
- 14:00But if he can keep you, you know, an eighteenth to you know,
- 14:03tenth finish at fivey five hundred and somebody's probably going to be overlooked by
- 14:09many other drivers or by many other players on DraftKings and FANDUL this weekend.
- 14:16I think that's pretty solid. I hope this doesn't come by me in the
- 14:20book because he has had such a a rough twenty four season. However,
- 14:26it can't be terrible forever, right, So Zane Smith, you are my
- 14:31value play of the week, and I'll be keeping a close eye on you
- 14:35on Sunday. Let's see here, do I have anything else that I wanted
- 14:41to touch on today for you find folks. No, we went over Kyle
- 14:48Busch and Jimmy Johnson wrecking in practice. Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick are my
- 14:54favorite dominator plays, and hopefully bad Brad Kazilowski can work his way towards the
- 15:01front from his twenty second starting position. That is everything I have for now.
- 15:07Once again, thank you all for spending some time with me today here
- 15:11on the NASCAR Quickkit for Ship at Nation. Before we close, of course,
- 15:15you know I'm going to mention code Hoop fifteen for fifteen percent off any
