• 3:04
  Speaker 3: You owe it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Join us, all right? Let me go ahead and share
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: this tab perfect and let me get my notes up
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: here even better?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: All right, folks. Last week, when doing the Daytona five
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: hundred video, I mentioned that I really wanted to quicken
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: up these quick hit videos and guess what this week
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I'll be doing just that because we really don't have
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: too much to talk about because Saturday's Cup qualifying session
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: was rained out and the starting lineup was set via
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the matrix. So essentially our starting order this week is
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: how the Daytona five hundred finished last week. Last week
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: for the five hundred, we focused on purely stacking the back,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: which means we only focused on place differential plays and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: for the most part what we will be doing the
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: same this weekend. However, I did want to highlight five
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: potential dominator plays that are starting in the front half
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of the field that I feel you should consider adding
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to your player pool. Because Atlanta Motor Speedway Echo Park
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Speedway underwent a configuration change at the start of the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two race season, and this speed and this
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: racetrack is much more of a super speedway drafting track
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: than it is a traditional one point five mile cookie
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: cutter racetrack. However, as this racetrack surface has aged, handling
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: entire wear have absolutely come into play and we have
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: seen this race dominated by someone starting near the front
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: before and actually, as I'm recording this video, the truck
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: race is going right on and handling entirewear or absolutely
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: coming into play. Plus to throw another wrench into things,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: a goo good Year is bringing a brand new right
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: side tire to Echo Park Speedway this year, which in theory,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: should produce even more tire wear. Now, Goodyear has stated
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: that this tire they are bringing is much more in
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: line with the other one and a half mile tires
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: they bring to racetracks. However, this is the first time
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we're seeing it here at Atlanta and we didn't even
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: see them qualify on the tires, So the first time
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: they use these tires will be during the race on Sunday.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So this week I won't be doing a full field
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: rundown because there's really not much on truck product to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: currently talk about from this weekend. Instead, I'll just be
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: picking out some drivers that you should strongly consider for
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: your player pool. And hopefully the weather works out for
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: us next week and we get practice at CODA, so
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: we actually have some current information to talk about. All right,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: that's my pre prepared notes for I didn't want to miss.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So now let's just go out the top of my
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: head and talk about some of these drivers. So first
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: things first, let's talk about the dominator plays, It's not
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: gonna be any surprise. Tyler Reddick, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Brad Kay and William Byron will probably be everybody's favorite
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: dominator style plays if you're playing any at all, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: for a good reason. They're all excellent super speedway racers.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: We just saw Tyler Redick win the Daytona five hundred
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: last week. He's starting on the pole. He has the
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: best shot to keep it out front and stay there.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Joey Logano is fantastic at Atlanta. Like New Atlanta, Logano
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: is phenomenal. We put him on the thumbnail before we
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: knew he was starting outside pole because he's so good,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: and I think on quick look he might be no.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Chase Elliott has him bet on odds, but he's plus
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: one thousand compared to Chases plus eight hundred. He is
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the and Ryan Blaney plus nine hundred. So it looks
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: like Legano is the third on the books person to win,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and for good reason. Excellent, excellent, excellent here in Atlanta.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Chase Elliott my next dominator play again excellent in Atlanta,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: and this is all excellent at New Atlanta. Members. When
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: you are looking at the stone and you see these
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: power rankings, these track rankings. This is only four new
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: reconfigured Atlanta which is from twenty twenty two on. Not
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: it doesn't include any of the previous configuration. So you
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: can take these track ranks as pretty much gospel for
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: how they do at this newly configured Atlanta. So Chase
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Elliott excellent, Brad Kiselowski also excellent all around, great super
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: speedway racer, very patient, Fords very good at super speedway.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: So is Brad k has broken? That's what leg isn't
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: going to come into play this weekend. Sure my next
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: weekend at CODA, but it won't impact him here this weekend.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: And last, but most certainly not least William Byron excellent, excellent, excellent,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: super speedway racer excellent and Atlanta excellent all around player,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: So Reddick, Legano, Elliott, Kezialowski, will he be Those would
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: be my favorite potential Dominator plays if you're going to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: play one, and if you do play one, I kind
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: of only recommend playing at least or at most one
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: of them, because you're really just trying to capture those
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: laps led since fast laps are going to be spread
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: out all across the board, and we're really just taking
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: a shot that one of these five or will be
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the one that ends up eating this pack, since we
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: didn't see any proctors were qualifying. Those are just the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: best drivers at Atlanta, the best, in my opinion, current
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: super speedway drivers who are sorting on the upper half
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: of the field. So you definitely owe it to yourself
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: to strongly consider those five. But I really would only
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: play one of them per lineup, looking back at some
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: or looking actually at some other drivers who might be
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: worsome consideration. Riley Herbs, Bubba Wallace. They were upfront last
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: week with Tyler Reddick at the Daytona five hundred. They're
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: totally fine. Plays Ricky Stenhouse Junior. He's really good at
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: super speedways, not the best at Atlanta surprisingly, so I
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: probably won't get too much of him, but if you're
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: looking to pivot off of some of one of these
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: front drivers, he's definitely acceptable. Chris Busher is also acceptable
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: to Brad ka He's plus twenty two in the books
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: compared to Brad's plus fifteen, so fine there. And Suarez
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: swore as one Atlanta last year. I think in the
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: photo finish right for track cou so he's also an
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: acceptable play. Looking further deep into the field, now we
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: get our preferred cash type plays and they jump out
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: like crazy. This these will be probably everybody's cash plays,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: So probably a cash train tomorrow. Ryan Blaney starting at
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: twenty second. He has been phenomenal here. He just has
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: yet to have a win to cap it off, but
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that can come at any time, including on Sunday. Denny
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Hamlin fantastic super speedway racer, one of the top in
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the series. Would not at all be surprised to see
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: him towards the front of the field. Sam goes for
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Christopher Bell, same goes for Chase Brisco. Chase Brisco was
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: on the pole last week and led a lot of
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the race. And Alex Bowman probably everybody's favorite cash plays
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: also fantastic for GPPs as well. I do not have
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: projections or ownership ran yet, but I am assuming they
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: will be very heavily owned. So just like last week,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: if you're looking to get different, I would absolutely make
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: sure you have exposure to those drivers, but do not
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: be afraid to pivot off of them. For example, Ryan
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Blaney to Ross Chastain, that's just one position, and it's
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: two thousand dollars cheaper or Ryan Blaney to Eric Jones.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: You're saving four thousand, right. And Eric Jones is a
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: pretty good little super speedway racer. Ryan Priest, he's been
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: good at super speedways solid ever since he got in
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that RFK car. Cole Custer. We highlighted him last week.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: He was up towards the front near the end. There's
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: no reason why he couldn't do it. Austin Sindrick Team Penske.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: We talked about Logano, we talked about Blaney. We haven't
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: talked about Sindric. Sindric starts the deepest of them all.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: There's no reason why he can't get to the front.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Zilich was okay last week. Did he, you know, have
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: a race to write home about? Absolutely not. Was he
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: totally fine for his first ever Cup super speedway race? Absolutely?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I have no problem playing him. Uh, Dylan sure. Excellent
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: super speedway racer. Richard Childress seems to have excelled a
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: little bit in the No, I shouldn't say excelled a
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: little bit. They can win at these super speedway tracks
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: and they know that, so I feel like they really
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: hone in on these races, right, so I know a
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: problem giving Dylan a try. We obviously talked about Brisco
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Todd Gilliland. I'm a fir, a member of the Gilly gang.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I will try him. I'm probably gonna fade p J
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: McCloud and JJ yalely this weekend just because of the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: type of race it is, and you can see how
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: crazy their odds are compared to everybody else. I will say, though, Uh,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: JJ Yale is probably by far the slowest car in
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the field. BJ McCleod, however, was very optimistic. Okay, Uh,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: this is the same car he was going to run
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: in the Daytona five hundred. He had a parts failure,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: an off the truck parts failure that led to him
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: exiting the race early. They have fixed that failure and
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: he should be full, full steam ahead. Should you play him.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I will let that entirely up to you.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: But he is positive about his chances, he's positive about
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: his motor So you don't know what's going to happen.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Is there anybody else I wanted to talk about the
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: top five domes, the very used cash plays and everybody else. Hey, No,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: that's it. It's like I said, it's it's hard to
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: talk about this kind of stuff when there's literally no
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: practic just no qualifying to talk about. At most one,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, of these dominator plays Reddick Logano, Elliot
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Keselowski or Byron if you want to group some of
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: those other players up there too, by all means, and
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: then chasing our place differential plays and don't be afraid
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: to pivot off of some of these highly owned drivers
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: to some of the lesser owned drivers to give you
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: the chance to score just as highly. Again, I do
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: feel that tire wear we'll come into play, but we're
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: just taking a guess because we actually haven't seen these
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: tires on the track yet. So that is going to
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: be it for me for this weekend. Hopefully next weekend
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the weather cooperates and we get practice and qualifying at CODA,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: which is a road course. Good luck in all of
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: your contests and as always, let's ship it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: What can I play? The videos.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Steps most spikes as mad as a set, spikes at
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: a still and spat and spat and spank
