- 0:08Speaker 1: All system's gone clear for lifting. Hello, welcome to this
- 0:42Speaker 1: weekend's NASCAR quick hit. Here at ship a Nation, I
- 0:46Speaker 1: am Eric, also known as the Game on Discord, and
- 0:50Speaker 1: tonight we will be discussing the South Point Hotel and
- 0:54Speaker 1: Casino four hundred taking place in Sin City, Las Vegas
- 1:00Speaker 1: Motor Speedway. But of course, before we go ahead and
- 1:04Speaker 1: break down that south Wind Casino four hundred taking place
- 1:07Speaker 1: at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, they let me, of
- 1:09Speaker 1: course mention us here at ship at nation dot com.
- 1:12Speaker 1: You're one stop shop for all things DFS, slave plans, projections, ownerships,
- 1:21Speaker 1: core report, the Stone, which I'll be showing here shortly,
- 1:26Speaker 1: an amazing Discord community. Not to mention, partnered with the
- 1:30Speaker 1: best optimizer in the game today, which is Sabersim. You
- 1:36Speaker 1: owe it to yourself if you have not already given
- 1:39Speaker 1: ship at nation dot com, but try ship at Nation
- 1:42Speaker 1: dot com five days for nineteen dollars using code ship nineteen.
- 1:48Speaker 1: So if you haven't used, were given us a shot already.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Now it's the perfect time. Ship at Nation dot com
- 1:57Speaker 1: five days for nineteen dollars code ship. All right, let
- 2:02Speaker 1: me go ahead and get this tab shared. Look at
- 2:05Speaker 1: me go. It's like I'm an expert at this. Oh,
- 2:08Speaker 1: where's my notes here? If I was an expert, I
- 2:10Speaker 1: would have my notes up quickly. All right. We are
- 2:13Speaker 1: on the last legs of the NASCAR season and this
- 2:17Speaker 1: is the last intermediate track of the year. Las Vegas
- 2:21Speaker 1: is a one point five mile intermediate track, and this
- 2:24Speaker 1: weekend we have roughly one hundred and eighty six point
- 2:28Speaker 1: nine dominated points up for grabs, and we will want
- 2:32Speaker 1: to target those points. I am planning on using between
- 2:36Speaker 1: one and two dominators per lineup, with probably a heavy
- 2:42Speaker 1: focus on two because we have almost all of our
- 2:47Speaker 1: potential dominators starting within the top ten. But first and foremost,
- 2:53Speaker 1: let me go grab for my water, which is not here.
- 2:56Speaker 1: All right. Let's go ahead then and discuss practice. Group
- 3:00Speaker 1: one saw Ross Chastain being the fastest in Group one,
- 3:05Speaker 1: which made him the eighth fastest overall. Chastain did indeed
- 3:10Speaker 1: scrub the wall late in practice. However, I am not
- 3:13Speaker 1: anticipating that causing Ross any issues, as he did manage
- 3:17Speaker 1: a qualifying run any good one at that He qualified
- 3:20Speaker 1: what fifteenth, So I don't anticipate any issues coming up
- 3:24Speaker 1: from Ross from that little scrub of the Wall. Carson
- 3:29Speaker 1: host of Art was also fast in Group one and
- 3:32Speaker 1: he was very happy with how his car felt. Zane
- 3:35Speaker 1: Smith also showed good long run speed in Group one.
- 3:39Speaker 1: In fact, his ten lap average was the fourth best
- 3:43Speaker 1: in Group one. So if you're looking for some Group
- 3:46Speaker 1: one potential sleepers, Saint Smith also a sleeper, while I'm
- 3:53Speaker 1: a little bit sleepy would be Noah Gregson. Noah has
- 3:57Speaker 1: been dogwater quite literally all season. However, he does appear
- 4:03Speaker 1: to have good long run speed. He is first off,
- 4:06Speaker 1: one of the few Group eight cars to actually run
- 4:10Speaker 1: thirty laps in practice, and he was the fastest in
- 4:14Speaker 1: Group one for thirty lap averages and he was the
- 4:18Speaker 1: fifth fastest overall. So you are looking for long run
- 4:23Speaker 1: speed at Las Vegas, and it appears that Noah Gregson
- 4:26Speaker 1: has it. Another potential Group one sleeper Noah Gregson and
- 4:34Speaker 1: Dane Smith could be could be the cheapest you need.
- 4:37Speaker 1: On Sunday, Group two, which is where all the killers
- 4:42Speaker 1: are saw William Byron set an absolute blazing pace and
- 4:46Speaker 1: he had the best five ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty five
- 4:51Speaker 1: and thirty lap averages. Willie b was on a fire
- 4:56Speaker 1: in practice. I didn't get that great of a qualifying
- 4:59Speaker 1: run I mean fifth, but for being that fast in
- 5:02Speaker 1: every aspect of practice, well, Willie Bee and team just
- 5:07Speaker 1: might be the team to be on Sunday. Joe Gibbs
- 5:11Speaker 1: Racing as a whole looked fantastic in practice. Danny, Chase,
- 5:16Speaker 1: and Christopher Bell all had fantastic practices, with Christopher Bell
- 5:22Speaker 1: and Chase Bisco being the second and third best in
- 5:25Speaker 1: the thirty lap averages, and Ty Gibbs no slouch either.
- 5:30Speaker 1: He was not as fast as his teammates, but he
- 5:33Speaker 1: was still fairly fast for his price tag. So love
- 5:40Speaker 1: all of Joe Gibbs Racing on Sunday. Kyle Larson was
- 5:45Speaker 1: loose in practice and came in fairly early for some adjustments.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Larson did not run a twenty, twenty five or thirty
- 5:54Speaker 1: consecutive laps in practice. That doesn't really scare me off
- 6:00Speaker 1: of him. It's Larsen. We know how he is at
- 6:03Speaker 1: mile and a half, it's crunch time, it's the end
- 6:05Speaker 1: of the season. He hasn't been as dominant as years before,
- 6:11Speaker 1: but we all know he can do it at any
- 6:14Speaker 1: given Sunday. And last, but not least, the twenty three
- 6:17Speaker 1: to eleven duo of Tyler Reddick in Bubble Wallace both
- 6:21Speaker 1: fast in practice. Uh, they're both always fast on mile
- 6:25Speaker 1: and a half intermediates, and they did not show any
- 6:30Speaker 1: off speed during practice. In fact, they both even qualified
- 6:34Speaker 1: seventh and eighth. So for the most part, if we
- 6:38Speaker 1: don't really have any surprises up front, ruthfully, the biggest
- 6:43Speaker 1: surprise upfront so to speak, might be SVGI in thirteenth.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Other than that, it's pretty much the usual, the usual suspects.
- 6:53Speaker 1: So we know who's fast at these mile and a
- 6:57Speaker 1: half prackte we've been or how many races into the
- 7:01Speaker 1: season thirty So yeah, right now, it's the usual suspects
- 7:06Speaker 1: and can really rely on the power ranking data. Now
- 7:11Speaker 1: let's go ahead and do a very quick run through
- 7:13Speaker 1: of the starting lineup, because I feel like I pretty
- 7:16Speaker 1: much touched on everything I wanted to touch on discussing practice,
- 7:21Speaker 1: and like I said, the power rankings as the season progresses.
- 7:26Speaker 1: The power rankings are fantastic truly all season long, but
- 7:31Speaker 1: as they really progress throughout the season, you really can
- 7:34Speaker 1: use them to see what drivers are good at, what
- 7:37Speaker 1: tracks and what track type ranks. And as you could tell,
- 7:40Speaker 1: most of our heavy hitters are up front, Denny Hamlin
- 7:44Speaker 1: on the pole, Chase Briscoe starting second. Chase Briscoe has
- 7:48Speaker 1: a track rank of f That's not surprising as he
- 7:54Speaker 1: was in the majority of his career in doll crap cars.
- 7:57Speaker 1: That is no longer he has surprised. He has in
- 8:00Speaker 1: a surprise all season. He is in the playoffs and
- 8:04Speaker 1: he is a championship threat. So I'm sure if you're
- 8:08Speaker 1: watching this video, you probably wouldn't sleep on Chase Briscoe anyway,
- 8:12Speaker 1: but I'm going to reiterate it again, don't sleep on
- 8:15Speaker 1: Chase Briscoe. He is super cheap compared to Denny and
- 8:21Speaker 1: Chris Bell, and we know he can dominate, So don't
- 8:25Speaker 1: sleep on Chris On, Chase Briscoe, Christopher Bell, He's awesome
- 8:31Speaker 1: at every single mile and a half racetrack. Chase Elliott
- 8:34Speaker 1: is kind of a surprise to me, including his plus
- 8:39Speaker 1: twelve hundred and his d track rank, but he's in
- 8:42Speaker 1: the playoffs, so all all hands on deck. Willie b
- 8:48Speaker 1: as mentioned, was so faster in practice. Larson was loose,
- 8:53Speaker 1: but he still managed to put down a heater of
- 8:54Speaker 1: a lap, so but not surprised me to see him
- 8:57Speaker 1: lead and dominate on Sunday, the twenty three to eleven
- 9:01Speaker 1: duo of Bubba and Tyler starting seventh and eighth. Our
- 9:04Speaker 1: first Ford starting a ninth is Jobey Logano, who is
- 9:09Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and truthfully, in my opinion, Ford has
- 9:15Speaker 1: been the weakest manufacturer on my and a halfs this season.
- 9:20Speaker 1: I would need to go back and look at the
- 9:22Speaker 1: actual stats and win losses and stuff like that. What
- 9:26Speaker 1: I was kind of surprised is he him managed to
- 9:29Speaker 1: put up such a fast lap when he wasn't that
- 9:33Speaker 1: fast in practice. So he should be in your playerpool
- 9:38Speaker 1: because he is in the playoffs, and we know what
- 9:41Speaker 1: kind of tricks the big team Penske team can do.
- 9:45Speaker 1: I really don't expect him to dominate, though. On Sunday
- 9:49Speaker 1: ty Gibbs I touched on already. Christopher Busher, He's always
- 9:54Speaker 1: a threat. He's fairly priced friendly at eighty five hundred,
- 9:59Speaker 1: nothing really crazy to write home about as far as
- 10:01Speaker 1: him goes Alex Bowman, he's great here as far as
- 10:05Speaker 1: power rankings go, but he's boom or bust. He's starting twelfth,
- 10:10Speaker 1: so I'll probably take a chance on him, but I
- 10:13Speaker 1: kind of wouldn't be surprised if it blew up SVG
- 10:15Speaker 1: starting at thirteenth. I'll take a chance on SVG. Everybody
- 10:21Speaker 1: is going to be playing the usual suspects, and this
- 10:26Speaker 1: will be the second time SVG is seeing Vegas, and
- 10:29Speaker 1: he did perform well a few weeks ago on an
- 10:33Speaker 1: oval track I forget where he did very well that
- 10:36Speaker 1: he surprised a bunch of people. So I'll take a
- 10:41Speaker 1: shot on SVG. Do I think he's gonna win, Absolutely not.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Do I think he'll lee lapse? Probably not. Could he
- 10:48Speaker 1: potentially stay in between the thirteenth and twentieth all day
- 10:52Speaker 1: and get you some decent points at crazy low ownerships.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Absolutely Ryan Blaney, I have no problem taking a shot
- 10:59Speaker 1: on him all day. Though he was not that great
- 11:01Speaker 1: in practice, and I really don't love forwards of all
- 11:03Speaker 1: and a halfs ros Chastain. He was great in practice,
- 11:08Speaker 1: as mentioned. I just wish he had a championship he
- 11:12Speaker 1: was fighting for. But but maybe now it's will be
- 11:17Speaker 1: real balls to the ball because he doesn't have to
- 11:20Speaker 1: points race. I don't know Ryan Priesce. I love Ryan
- 11:23Speaker 1: Priest all season long, no different today, So cheap sixty
- 11:28Speaker 1: nine hundred probably will not lose a lap in the
- 11:33Speaker 1: stage one, so love me some. Ryan Priesce Suarez, It's
- 11:36Speaker 1: probably a no for me. Dog, Michael McDowell, Probably a
- 11:41Speaker 1: no for me, dog. Eric Jones. I'll take a shot
- 11:44Speaker 1: on Legacy Motor Club. I've think, in my opinion, has
- 11:49Speaker 1: been doing quite well for them recently, and I think
- 11:53Speaker 1: my new model for them as if they qualify up
- 11:55Speaker 1: towards the front half of the field, to take a
- 11:57Speaker 1: shot Eric Jones did, so, I will take that shot.
- 12:01Speaker 1: The Dinger, Probably no for me. Cole Custer, Yeah, it's
- 12:09Speaker 1: definitely a no for me. Carson josevar yep, Zane Smith yep,
- 12:14Speaker 1: Ricky Stenhouse Nope, Austin Dillon Nope, John Hunter nima check.
- 12:20Speaker 1: I will take a shot on John Hunter because I'm
- 12:24Speaker 1: taking a shot on Eric Jones. I wish John Hunter
- 12:28Speaker 1: was up qualified up near Eric Jones, but I'll take
- 12:33Speaker 1: the shot with a twenty sixth place John Hunter. Justin Haley, No,
- 12:38Speaker 1: I kind of don't think he's going to be in
- 12:39Speaker 1: that ride next year. Noah Grenkson, as mentioned earlier, will
- 12:44Speaker 1: take a shot on him. Josh Berry. He won here
- 12:48Speaker 1: right is this where he won earlier in the season.
- 12:50Speaker 1: Let me hold on gosh Berry two thousand and twenty
- 12:55Speaker 1: five Cup victory. Yes, hey look wait, no, Josh Barry
- 13:02Speaker 1: scores first Grow Cup in at Las Vegas. Look at me?
- 13:05Speaker 1: Go h. It's been a long week, long week, folks.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Barry won this race back in what March, Yeah, March
- 13:16Speaker 1: sixteenth on Austin three to sixteen day. That feels like
- 13:20Speaker 1: forever ago. Should you take a chance because he's already
- 13:25Speaker 1: proven he can do it? Sure? Do I think he's
- 13:28Speaker 1: gonna do it again, especially in playoff time. No, Todd Gilliland.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I'm normally a card carry member of the Gilly Gang.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Not this weekend. He seems slew Austin Sindrick. I'll take
- 13:41Speaker 1: a shot. During practice it seemed like the Sindric team
- 13:46Speaker 1: and the Logano team were working hand in hand to
- 13:49Speaker 1: try to improve both cars. So I will take a
- 13:53Speaker 1: shot on Sindric. I wish he was cheaper, but I'll
- 13:58Speaker 1: take a shot. Kyle Busch, I'm gonna tell you right
- 14:01Speaker 1: now he is projecting well. I am in no way
- 14:04Speaker 1: taking a shot on him. He has good track history here,
- 14:08Speaker 1: but his season is the no good, bad, terrible, dreadful
- 14:14Speaker 1: awful season. And I'm not riding that bus anymore. And
- 14:20Speaker 1: now watch he wins tomorrow. Riley Herbs. He's trash. No
- 14:25Speaker 1: Brad Kay, He's gonna get a ton of ownership, probably
- 14:33Speaker 1: a cash lock, so to speak, because he's probably the
- 14:37Speaker 1: one that's starting the deepest, who's the safest. But I
- 14:40Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if I'm personally going to
- 14:44Speaker 1: be playing him, just because he hasn't really busted for
- 14:50Speaker 1: us much this season, right, So I don't think I'm
- 14:54Speaker 1: gonna be on brad Ty Dylon. No, he would probably be.
- 15:02Speaker 1: If you don't want to play Brad and you want
- 15:04Speaker 1: to play someone starting super deep, hy Dylan would probably
- 15:09Speaker 1: be the last one I would consider. But it's still
- 15:13Speaker 1: hard for me to pull the trigger. And then Cody
- 15:16Speaker 1: wear JJ Ailey and Catherine Legg round out the field,
- 15:19Speaker 1: and those all three are nose for me dog. So
- 15:23Speaker 1: that's it. That's the starting lineup, Rundown. That's the practice, Rundown.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I have projections already finished, they're just not on the sheet.
- 15:33Speaker 1: I will do ownership in the morning when the odds
- 15:37Speaker 1: are fully updated. Right now you're not seeing fully updated odds,
- 15:42Speaker 1: and then I will color coat the stone and finish
- 15:47Speaker 1: the sleep plan and stuff like that. I'm gonna have
- 15:50Speaker 1: a very hard time picking out the top dominator plays
- 15:56Speaker 1: because really, I was going to talk this, talk this
- 16:00Speaker 1: out right loud, out loud, with the with the group,
- 16:04Speaker 1: and who's watching here, anybody in the top eight. But yeah, yeah,
- 16:14Speaker 1: top eight could dominate. Danny could dominate, Chase Briscoe could dominate,
- 16:19Speaker 1: Sebell could dominate Chase Elliott, he could do I think
- 16:25Speaker 1: you will know what he could. Willie b could, Larson could,
- 16:29Speaker 1: Bubba could, and Reddick could. You literally have eight potential
- 16:38Speaker 1: dominators starting in the top eight spots. Yeah, that's gonna
- 16:47Speaker 1: be fun ranking those plays. So all right, I'm gonna
- 16:51Speaker 1: be done talking to myself here and watch the end
- 16:54Speaker 1: of the sprint car race that's coming up, and then
- 16:58Speaker 1: get back to work on this. So as always, thanks
- 17:01Speaker 1: for listening and watching, and as always, if there's any
- 17:07Speaker 1: drivers that go to the rear, I'll make sure to
- 17:09Speaker 1: learn discord.
- 17:11Speaker 2: And as always, let's ship it.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Bathered many mounts, stopped, wasted, and monthered, and Mons held
- 18:11Speaker 3: them stop ed and then sasted and then sized at
- 18:21Speaker 3: the side
