• 2:14
  Speaker 1: join us today. All right, Pocono Raceway, What am I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: doing here?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Hi?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Bam oh once green overlay, boom, look at me go.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Pocono Raceway is a one of a kind on the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: NASCAR circuit, as it's a two point five mile triangle.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: That's right, three different turns, with three different degrees of banking,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: with three different lengths of straightaways. You won't find anything
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: like it on the NASCAR circuit. That's why this week
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I am really big on using the track ranking, as
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the track type rank really is just the tire combinations
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that they're using this weekend that they've used that different
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: different practice this year, which is helpful, but like I said,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Pocono there's nothing else like it, So I'm really big
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: on using the track ranking as well as practice practice
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: this weekend I think is a good indicator of what
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: we will be seeing. Let's see here. And speaking of practice,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: let's go ahead and break that down first. And the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: first thing I wanted to mention is tires and how
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: there really wasn't any tire wear throughout the event or
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: throughout the practice event on Saturday. Now, that can always
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: change by race day, but I really don't expect us
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to see any tire failures or major tire issues on Sunday.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Hope I didn't just jinx it by saying that. Also,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: lots and lots of drivers ran into issues during the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: practice session. As you can tell by the stone, we
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: have some pretty heavy hitters in the back and let
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: me break down some of those who ran into issues
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: on or during practice rather on Saturday, Brenn and Pool.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We'll first start with our two back markers, brand And
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Pool and Cody Ware. Brendan Pool had tons of issues
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: getting through inspection and because of that he will have
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to serve a pass through penalty at the start of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Sunday's race. So I don't really know how many folks
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: are playing brand and Pool anyway, but just note he
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: does have a pass through penalty to start the race.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Cody Ware also got damage and backed up into the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: wall during Saturday's practice session. I don't know if they
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: will be rolling out a backup car or not, but regardless,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: they are back deep in the field anyway, and probably
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: wouldn't consider playing them anyway unless like in like one
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: fifty GPPs. Josh Berry broke his diffuser, which like never happens.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I believe he got quite literally one lap of practice
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: in when that happened and did not perform a qualifying lap.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So Josh Berry, he's in the back. Christopher Bell he
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: lost power steering during practice. However, he was able to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: get that problem squared away and was managed to do
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a believe a five lap run during practice and qualified.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So keep an eye on that problem to see if
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that springs back up again tomorrow morning. And last, but
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: most certainly not least, William Byron crashed during qualifying, crashed
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: hard during qualifying, and his team will be rolling out
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: a backup car. Now, what's nice with Willie b is
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: he only managed a thirty first place qualifying time, so
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: he will be going to the rear for rolling on
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a backup car. But it doesn't really matter because he's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: already starting thirty first and it's Wayne Byron, so he
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: will go to rear. He will technically lose like six
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: seven spots from his starting position, but in this instance
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter, all right, and let's go ahead.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: That's everything I have for my pre written notes. So
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: now let's go ahead and break down loosely the starting lineup,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: because I'm not going to go through every driver tonight.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I do want to start off with proud Papa Denny Hamblin.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Denny and his significant other had birth to their son,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Jamison Hamblin this past week, and Denny brought his new
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: dad energy into Pocono and put it on the pole.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: He wasn't too impressive in practice, but Denny Hamlin is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a Pocono god. I think he is the all time
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: win leader at Pocono. At least he's the all time
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: wind leader in active drivers. He is Pocono king, as
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you can tell by the plus three hundred odds. He
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: is and will be probably the DFS industries number one
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: dominator tomorrow, and for good reason. He can absolutely stink
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: up his show. He's that good here at Pocono outside pole.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Chris Busher fast in practice, kind of middle of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: road here, but he's been showing speed lately. So if
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: you want a if you're going to fade Denny and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: use one of the other two dominators I mentioned here
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: coming up, I don't have any issues giving a pusher
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a chance. And the next of my dominator picks will
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: be Reddick and Chris Bell, and as you can see here,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Reddick fast in practice. Christopher Bell didn't really have a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: great practice because he had that power steering issue, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that doesn't matter because it's Christopher Bell. So those four
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: would be my favorites to lead lapse tomorrow. However, heavy
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: hitters like Blainey starting twentieth he was fantastic in practice,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and he's fantastic at Pocono. He could lead laps if
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: he does, though it likely won't be till like stage two.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Larsen of course he's a threat to always lead lapse.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: William Byron, of course, he's look at him in practice,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: ranked one, rank one, ranked one, he was a rocket
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: ship and then he you know, bifted in qualifying right,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: so he can lead labs. So my four quote unquote
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: dominator plays Hamlin, Busher, Reddick Bell, but it's hard not
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to also love Blaney, Larson, and Byron, but for different reasons.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Next up here in the top ten hosts of r I,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: like hosts of r I, have been drumming. The Carson
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: host of r drum a ton last year and this year. GPPs,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I think I'm not saying you have to take a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: shot on him, But I have no issues taking a
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: shot with him in large field GPPs, cash games, small
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: field tournaments, but GPPs. Absolutely Would it surprise any of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: us anymore to see him stick around the top ten
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: all day? Absolutely not. It would be surprising to see
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: him dominate, but to stick around the top ten, absolutely not.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: John Hunter Cole Custer, Yeah, John Hunter has been showing
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: some speed lately, as has been Eric Jones and the
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: John Hunter qualified fourth, Eric Jones qualified eleventh. I still
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: don't know if I'm willing to trust them enough to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: take a gamble on them at that price range. Cole Custer,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a fade for me. Chase brisk
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Go and Ty Gibbs sure, no issues taking a chance
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: on them. Uh. Do I expect them to dominate? No?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: But top five, top ten all day? Absolutely? Next up
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Swarez Eh not too big on Sporrez, Eric Jones I
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: talked about earlier, Joey Logano, Ryan Pree, Brad Kelilowski, the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: kind of I don't know. Let's see here, let me
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: look at their practice speeds. I think Kesilowski was fast, Yeah,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Kesilowski was fast in Uh he was group a he
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: was I believe, fastest in his group at the time.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I have no issues with Keselowski. I don't love Logano's
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: price tag, but Logano, as we all know, is known
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to pull these out of his butt every once in
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a while. So would it surprised any of us to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: see Logano win this tomorrow? I don't think so. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I like him at ninety two
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: hundred bucks starting in twelfth Ryan pries No issues with
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Ryan Priese seven grand notoriously bad track ranking. I think
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that f sticks out like a sore thumb, but we
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: need to remember he was with Stuart Haas uh and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: this is the best he's been, perhaps ever in Cup.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So yeah, no issues with Logano priest or Keselowski. Uh.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I don't love Logano's price tag though. Zane Smith, that's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: a fade. Austin Dylan, that's gonna be a fade from me.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Uh Noah Gregson, you gotta save money somewhere. I don't
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: know what's gonna be with him. Chase Elliott, Sure, he
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: participated in the Infinity Race on Saturday, which is rare
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: for Chase Elliott. Yeah, I think there's better choices at
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: similar price rates deeper in the field, but no issues
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: with Chase Austin Sindric. He had fantastic practice speeds. Will
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: he be as good as his teammate Brian Blaney who
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: That remains to be seen, but I think the upside
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: there for Cindric is absolutely real. Et only seventy two
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Ryan Blaney I spoke about earlier. We have melon Man.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Melon Man actually met the like Secretary of Defense today
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: yesterday and smashed watermelons with him. Seems kind of strange
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to do that on a day as is today, but yeah,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that happened. No issues with Chastain as just started deep
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: in the field. Great more PD upside Justin Haley is
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be a fade for me. Shane van Gisbergen. You
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: know what, Let's yeah, Pocono is unique. As I mentioned
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: earlier in the video. Three different turns, three different banking
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of the turns, three different lengths of strainaways. You're shifting
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: more than you are at a normal track. Road course
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: racers seem to do well at Pocono and what is
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: sveg the best road course racer in the garage? Now
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: this is his first Pocono start, but he has been
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: trending upwards as far as ovals go, So if you
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: are looking for some price savings, feel free to take
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a shot on Sveg, because you could definitely do worse
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: in my opinion. Larson, we spoke about him Bowman. Bowman
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: has been boom or bust. I was gonna make Bowman
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a cash play, but I just I can't do it.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: His decent track history here, practice was decent. He just
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: is struggling right now, and until he gets some consistent performance,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I don't feel comfortable recommending him. Kyle Busch middle of
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the road in practice. He's been middle of the road
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: here in the next gen car. If this was a
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago and he's in the eighteen, I
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: would say absolutely. I don't know if I can get
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: with Kyle Bush today or rather tomorrow on Sunday race Day.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Ty Dylon Yeah no. Michael McDowell, Yeah, I'll take a
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: shot on Mike mac great practice, Inspire equipment, so we
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: know he has speed, and as I mentioned with earlier,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: this is a road courser's oval, so to speak, and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Michael McDowell is an old road course racer, so hey,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I'll take a shot on Michael McDowell's says the two
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: hundred bucks, why not Riley Herbs, that's a big fat
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: new for me. Ricky Stenton House clinging on to any
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: relevancy he has left by mentioning Carson Hosovar in any
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: breath is a fade for me. William Byron, of course
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: we play him. Gilly and Dinger. Gilly No, Dinger. Yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: if I'm going with the road course drivers excel at
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Pocono mindset, Dinger is that now he's sixty one hundred
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: compared to Michael McDowell's sixty two hundred and sfg's six thousand.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But he also has more OVAL experience than SFG, and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: he gives you more PD upside than SFG. So yeah,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Bubba Wallace, love Bubble Wallace, second, second, fourth in practice. Hey,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I'll take a shot on Bubba. Josh Barry. We mentioned him,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: he had diffuser issues, Sure, load him up. And then
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Cody wear and Brendan Poole. They're a big fat no
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: for me, and they should probably be a big fat
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: no for you too. Unless you're playing one hundred and
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: fifty lineup GPPs, then maybe yes to them, but even then,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: very minimal yes to them. So that's it for the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: driver breakdown. I said I wasn't gonna go through the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: whole starting lineup, and I did anyway, that's the kind
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: of guy I am. So that's all my thoughts on
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the starting lineup. And before I wrap up the video,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I do want to mention that tomorrow I will be
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: at the race for the first time in over says
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. Yeah, since twenty twenty three, I will
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: be back at a NASCAR Cup race. Baby boys arrival
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: last summer put a temporary pause on any NASCAR Cup races,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: but this year we are back on the docket. So
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I will be at Pocono tomorrow. What does that mean
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: for you watching this video? Nothing? Because this video is
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: wrapping up. What does that mean for you ship at
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Nation members? That means that it will be highly unlikely
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that I am able to respond to discord questions in
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: a timely matter. There is one hundred thousand plus people
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: in a gigantic open field in the Pocono's cell phone
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: service will be hard hard to use. Rather, they do
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: have free Wi Fi and I do expect to not
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: have issues with it once I get into the main
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: concourse area and get into the stands, et cetera, et cetera,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: et cetera. But until that time, if you tag me
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: in a message, there is a very strong possibility I
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: will not see it. So rely on your slate plan.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Rely on this video. Everything I mentioned in this video
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: will be on the slate plan. As you guys know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I break down drivers in each section that'll be mentioned
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: this video. If any questions on any drivers, I probably
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: answered it in this video. Also make sure to stay
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: aware of any drivers possibly going to the rear. As
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: soon as I find out that information tomorrow, I will
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: try to relay it as quickly as I can. But
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: again I will be at the track, and that information
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: from me to you will be slower than normal. So hey,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: that's all I got. Thanks as always for tuning in,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and as always, let's ship it.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Gotta find the closing video. This always takes me a while.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Boom uhst Hans still.
• 20:18
