• 0:08
  Speaker 1: All system's gone clear.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: We lift on.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Good evening and welcome to this weekend's NASCAR quick hit.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Here for ship at Nation, I am Eric, also known
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: as the Game on Discord, and tonight we are going
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to be discussing the Bass Pro Shops Night race taking
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: place at Bristol Motor Speedway. But of course, before we
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: go ahead and break down the slate, let me of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: course mention us ship at nation dot com. You are
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: one stop shop for all things DFS. We have expert
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: projections slate plan the Stone, which I have up on
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the screen right now. One of the most fantastic Discord
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: communities in all of DFS. We're partnered with Sabersim, the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: number one optimizer in DFS. Folks, if you haven't joined
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: us already, you really owe it to yourself to check
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: us out over at ship at nation dot com. All right,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we have five hundred laps on tap for Saturday night,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: which means a ton of dominator points. In fact, we
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: have three hundred and fifty of them, and we will
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: absolutely want to target those points. And I am recommending
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: between two and three dominators per lineup, So five hundred laps,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty dominator points, maybe more if they're
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: over time, two to three dominators per lineup. As far
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: as practice goes on Friday, nothing really to write home about.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: The only real incident, if you can really even call it,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that would have been Bubba Wallace kind of got into
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the wall very slightly, But nothing really to write home about,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: nothing of any concern, and I highly doubt he will
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: be going to the rear. The other major talking point
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of Friday was tirewear, or the lack thereof tirewear, as
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it seemed to be fairly non existent during practice. Why
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: is that a story, you may ask, Well, NASCAR was
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: really hyping up on NASCAR and Goodyear was really hyping
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: up a brand new tire compound which would have extreme
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: levels of fall off, which would really make this race
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a wild card of a race. And instead that's not
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: what we saw in practice at all. In fact, Brad
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Keselowski was quoted as saying, these tires will be able
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to run all day long. If that ends up being
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the case, track position and pitch strategy will be key,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: as passing in the next gen car is notoriously difficult. Okay,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: so assuming that these tigers do not fall off as
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: goodyear at NASCAR predicted, which is what we're seeing right now.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Track position and pitch strategy will be key, as well
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: as staying on the lead lap in stage one will
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: be key. I went ahead and looked at last Springs
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: race here at Bristol as well as the last Summer
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Night Race Bristol. In both races, at the end of
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: stage one up to the twenty fourth place car was
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a lap down. So from twenty fourth on back they
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: wore a lap down and it went at the stage caution.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: The twenty fourth car got their lap back. So in
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: my opinion, you kind of want your player pool to
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: be in that upper half. Do we have some deeper
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: place differential plays yet we do? Ryan not Ryan Priest.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Chase Briscoe starts what thirty first, he's a fantastic place
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: differential play tomorrow, but there's a very real possibility that
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: he gets trapped a lap down in stage one, and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: if that happens, it makes for a very very long
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: day and it kind of caps your upside because laps
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: will be being picked off here in fifteen second sixteen
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: second laps. Cars will be going a lap down quickly.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: If twenty four cars are a lap down and you're
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: in thirty first place. You can only in theory, get
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you up to twenty fourth and then hope to God
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you get the lucky dog right. So staying on the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: lead lap in stage one, in my opinion, is a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: real key. Or tomorrow at Bristol, and now let me
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: do a quick rundown of the slate. And this will
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: be a quick rundown because a little peak behind the curtain.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It is eleven seventeen on Friday evening and my little
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: boy is starting to roll around in bed, and I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: want to get this video done before he wakes up
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and demands his nighttime bottle. So we have a surprising
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: pole sitter in aj Allmendinger. However, he was very fast
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: in practice. It wouldn't surprise me if he steals some
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: laps lad in stage one. Will he be able to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: keep and hover around the top ten all day? That
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: remains to be seen, but I don't hate taking a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: chance on the dinger on Saturday night. Then we have
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Ryan Blaney starting on the outside pole. He's probably everybody's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: like first dominator like option. I think the vast majority
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of the public assumes that Blaney will be able to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: get around Almondinger fairly quickly in Stage one on Saturday Night.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But again the Dinger has been fairly strong recently, so
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if he leads some laps on
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Saturday Night. Sindrick and Ty Gibbs rep next. I really
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: don't have any interest in Cindric, but I'll take a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: chance on Time Gibbs. Then we have my bulk of
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: dominator options. Larson, Hamlin Byron Wallace and Bell Larson. I
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: did some research before this video, before every video obviously,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and Larson led literally like eight hundred and sixty some
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: laps out of one thousand over these last two races
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: at Bristol. Like I understand that Larson has been quote
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: unquote down lately, and he has been. But if there's
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: any track that can write the current wrong that Kyle
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Larson is facing, it's Bristol. Is he going to lead
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: four hundred plus laps tomorrow? I don't know, but it
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me if he did. Denny Hamlin, he's just
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: as good as Larson. Has he led eight hundred plus
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: laps over the last two races. No, but he is
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: just as good as Larson. Here William Byron. It wouldn't
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: surprise me to see byron sneak away victory here. Also,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: he's cheap, I mean cheap for will E b ninety
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: eight hundred. God take a shot at that right. Bubba,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, has been the hottest driver at NASCAR recently.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I have no issues including Bubba in my dominator pool
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and taking a shot, especially at that nine thousand dollars
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: price tag. I love it. And last for my possible
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: dominator place is Chris Bell at ten two. He's excellent
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: here as well. He's been kind of quiet lately, so
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me at all. There's been there's a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: few races a year where Chris Bell just sticks up
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the show. Wouldn't surprise me if Bristol was one of
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: those races where Bill stunk up the show, then we
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: have a whole bunch of GPP plays. In my opinion, Stenhouse,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: host of ar Chastain Barry is excellent at short tracks,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: but I just don't know if I can get down
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: with him at Bristol. But he is within that upper
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: first twenty four, so he'll probably be in the playerpool
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: just based on that. Ricky Stenhouse, He's he's always across off.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: For me, a host of ar is fast. I could
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: maybe see somebody trying to take him out because it
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: is Bristol, but it's not the Bristol of the nineties
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: where it's around the bottom and you're rooting a gougean.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: So I don't think he'll be dumped. So I have
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: no problem taking a chance with Hope so far. Chastain,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with him as well. Reddick, sure, why not?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Bowman Elliott great. Justin Haley was very fast in practice,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and I don't anticipate all that practice speed moving over
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: towards the race, but it wouldn't surprise me if he's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a little bit of an ownership bump, just based of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: how good he was in practice. Brad Kesilowski, I love
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: me some Brad k On on Saturday Night. He's a veteran.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: He knows what it takes to get around Bristol. Love
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: me some Brad k John Hunter, Needwood check. He's been
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: trending upwards lately. I'll take a chance on him. Ryan
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Priest of course, Busher of course. H Logano. Anybody feel
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: like Logano is too expensive for his current performance? Like yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: like I get like he's how many time champion and
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: he can win any given Sunday, But I just don't
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: think he's worth a ninety two hundred dollars price tag.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Uh And I say that now and watch it goes
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and sneaks on sneaks the victory on Saturday on Saturday night.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: So I have no problem taking a chance on him,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna go out of my way to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: get him. Austin Dylon, he's he's right around that lap
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: down mark What did I say, twenty four cars? Yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: twenty four cars for a lap down each of the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: last two races here at the end of stage one,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: So he's right around that spot where I'm thinking of
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: clicking off. Zaye Smith is going to be a no
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: for me. I'll take a chance with Michael mcdowe because
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: he's Inspire equipment, so he's fast. Cole Custer is going
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to be a no for me. Eric Jones I'll take
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a chance on because I like his his actual driving talent,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: even though I don't trust a car he's in currently.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Shane Van Ginsbergen will be quite literally the first click
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: off for me. Riley Herbs is going to be a no.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Chase frisc goes a yes. It would not surprise me
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: at all to see him get caught a lap down,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: But based on his current performance and how fast he's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: been everywhere lately, we have to assume he's going to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: be able to keep on the lead lap during stage one. Kyle,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. He's projecting well, but he's going
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to be a no for me. Has he been doing
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: kind of better recently? Yeah, his f recent form is
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: now up to a D. But still I can't get
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: into it for eight thousand dollars with him. Austin Hill
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: is going to be a no for me. Cody Ware
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: is going to be a no for me, Daniel Suarez
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: is going to be a no for me. Gilly's going
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to be a no for me. Ty Dylan's going to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: be a no for me. And guess what, folks, Corey
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Hymn Chad Fincham also were going to be a no
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: for me. So really, I'm going to focus the majority
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: of my player pool on those drivers starting in the
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: top twenty three. I'll include Austin Dlon in that, and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I'll take some very very few shots on drivers starting
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: outside of those top twenty four positions. As of now,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: there's no drivers to the rear, but I'm quite literally
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: recording this at eleven o'clock on Friday night, so I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: don't expect to hear any drivers to the rear news
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: until like Saturday for five o'clock in the afternoon, so
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: plenty of time for that news to break. And that's
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: it for the video. I'm going to go ahead now
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and focus on creating the projections. We finalizing the projections.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: The first run is done, as well as ownership as
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: well as getting a slate plan rode up. So good
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: luck in everything I know. We have college football today
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and MMA and then NASCAR in the evening and of
• 13:37
