  All system's gone clear. We lift up. Oh, I have the wrong
• 0:38
  race here? One second? One second? Do we have the correct race
• 0:43
  here? We don't. Hey, this is fun. Let me switch the
• 0:47
  promo instead. Hey, welcome this week too the NASCAR Quick Hit here at
• 0:54
  ship at Nation. I am Eric also known as the Game, and we
• 0:59
  are going to break down the Geico five hundred at Talladega super Speedway. But
• 1:07
  before we do that, of course, let me go ahead and promo code
• 1:10
  Hoop fifteen. Hoop fifteen gives you fifteen percent off any monthly or annual membership
• 1:18
  plan. The monthly and annual membership plan gets you access to the Discord and
• 1:23
  I am partial to our little NASCAR channel in the ship at Discord server.
• 1:27
  Sof co code Hoop fifteen fifteen percent off any monthly or annual membership plan.
• 1:34
  And of course you know we cover the NFL, MLB, NBA, PGA,
• 1:42
  MMA, NHL college football, and of course NASCAR, and that gives
• 1:47
  you expert content, projections, tools, community and of course Hoop and Tambo's
• 1:55
  very famous DFS education courses. So once again, code Hoop fifteen for fifteen
• 2:00
  percent off any monthly or annual membership plan. All right. Let me go
• 2:07
  ahead here and switch to my screenshot. Bam. All right, Today we
• 2:14
  are breaking down the Geico five hundred at Talladega Superspeedway, five one hundred miles,
• 2:22
  one hundred eighty eight laps. We are back on Fox, the Fox
• 2:28
  broadcast stations in America and TS and five in Canada. Green flag is three
• 2:35
  o'clock Eastern time. All right. This week, instead of breaking down four
• 2:43
  of my favorite drivers like we normally do, I just would like to discuss
• 2:47
  some topics heading into the Gico five hundred at Talladega Superspeedway because this is a
• 2:57
  super speedway track and as we've seen already at Daytona and Talladega this year,
• 3:04
  the variance is real. Okay, So the variance is real. Projections don't
• 3:10
  mean all that too much this week like they would at like your typical mile
• 3:15
  and a half short track road course, et cetera, et cetera. So
• 3:22
  my first topic this week is, well, I guess it kind of breaks
• 3:27
  the rule. Is a driver and that driver is Kyle Larson. And as
• 3:35
  the Great Degenerate seventy five would say, hello, donkey chalk, Kyle Larson,
• 3:44
  I believe was actually pulled off of Pitt Road while gritting up for today's
• 3:52
  qualifying session for the Geico five hundred due to unapproved adjustments I believe to the
• 3:58
  roof rails. NASCAR did not like what Larson's team did to those roof reels
• 4:04
  roof rails and disallowed him to participate in the qualifying So therefore that means a
• 4:14
  nine thousand dollars Kyle Larson starts dead last. If you have been watching NASCAR
• 4:20
  this season, Kyle Larson is one of, if not the top driver.
• 4:27
  I think it's between him, Denny, and Willie b this year in my
• 4:31
  opinion for who's the best driver so far. He's not necessarily the best at
• 4:40
  superspeedway tracks. However, he is by far going to be probably well,
• 4:47
  no, not even probably. He's by far going to be the most owned
• 4:50
  of the slate because he's dead last. Since he's going to be so highly
• 4:58
  owned, I think the only way you can play Larson is a go either
• 5:03
  very overweight on him or b go underweight on him and hope the variance is
• 5:11
  real and he gets into an accident and doesn't finish as high up as you
• 5:15
  should. Right, So, Kyle Larson is your highest and chalkiest player and
• 5:23
  driver of this slate. And yeah, either go way overweight in my opinion,
• 5:29
  or or go underweight. I don't think you can get you can completely
• 5:34
  fade. At least I wouldn't feel comfortable completely fading just due to the very,
• 5:40
  very potential upside. But he is going to be very popular. Second
• 5:46
  is I would like to talk about Ford. I normally don't recommend stacking manufacturers,
• 5:55
  and please don't think I'm recommending that now. However, during mrn's qualifying
• 6:01
  coverage today, m RN is one of the two radio broadcast networks that covered
• 6:06
  NASCAR. During their coverage today, they spoke to Ryan Priese, who's starting
• 6:14
  eleventh today, and Ryan pries mentioned that Ford is really committed to working together
• 6:24
  on Sunday to try to get their brand new Ford Mustang dark Horse into Victory
• 6:30
  Lane, as that has not yet happened this season. In fact, I'm
• 6:38
  fairly certain Ford had some sort of team building activity this week, as silly
• 6:44
  as that sounds, because last week at Texas, Ryan Priest and Ryan Blaney
• 6:50
  to Ford drivers were not too happy with each other and there was a picture
• 6:56
  of them shared together. This week at said Ford team building event Ford has
• 7:03
  not yet won this season and they want to. We're nine races in,
• 7:13
  that's a quarter of the way through the season so far. The majority of
• 7:16
  races, if not all of them, I think all of them have been
• 7:18
  won by either Hendrick or Joke Embracing with that one outlier of Atlanta being a
• 7:24
  track house, So I really think you see Ford working together big time on
• 7:31
  Sunday. However, a few of my favorite four drivers will be out of
• 7:39
  my player pool just due to their starting position, which will now go into
• 7:44
  my third And I think final discussion point for today, because I really don't
• 7:48
  want to overcomplicate two things for this SLEEP is I highly recommend we stack the
• 7:56
  back. And when I say stack the back, I mean I am very
• 8:01
  comfortably and confidently going to be removing drivers who are starting first through fifteenth from
• 8:09
  my player pool. And those are some big names to be taking out of
• 8:13
  your playerpool, right, Kyle Busch, I'm taken out of my pool,
• 8:16
  true Ex Legano out of my pool, Chase Elliott, I'm taken out of
• 8:22
  my pool. Cee Bell, Ryan Priest, who I just spoke about,
• 8:26
  Bowman Byron Bubble Wallace, I'm taking out of my pool, Ty Gibbs,
• 8:30
  I'm taking out of my pool. The reason I'm taking these drivers out of
• 8:35
  my pool is because we are really focused on the place differential game. Yes,
• 8:43
  on Sunday, there will be absolutely boring stretches of this race. There
• 8:48
  will be single file, double wide, no passing, quote unquote, putting
• 8:56
  around, et cetera, et cetera. However, by the time time Stage
• 9:00
  three comes around, everybody is going to be on the wick trying to get
• 9:05
  to the front. Okay, we are not focused on dominator points at all.
• 9:11
  We are only focused on place differential. And truthfully, the drivers here
• 9:18
  starting sixteenth through twentieth, I'm not going to have too many of them either.
• 9:24
  The majority of my player pool here will be starting at Ryan Blaney at
• 9:30
  who starts Who's the most expensive on the slate at eleven thousand dollars and starts
• 9:33
  twenty first. The vast majority, if not all, of my players will
• 9:37
  be starting from twenty first through thirty eight. Okay, we are only focused
• 9:43
  on place differential because dominator points are so spread out here at super speedway tracks
• 9:52
  as well as again, the variance is very very very real. One made
• 10:00
  your accident can easily take out five six, seven, ten, fifteen,
• 10:05
  hell twenty cars, right if it's if it happens at a certain part of
• 10:09
  the track. Okay, the variance is very very real if you are using
• 10:16
  an optimizer to build, which if you are, I hope you are using
• 10:20
  the solver um jack up that variance, right, crank it up. Any
• 10:26
  other optimizer, jack up that variance. Salaries, we don't care, you
• 10:33
  know, any amount of salary you leave on the table, five six,
• 10:39
  four, three thousand dollars. It does not matter this week, all right.
• 10:43
  It is super speedway racing. We are only focused on place differential points.
• 10:50
  And really, like I mentioned, I'm not playing anybody who's starting first
• 11:00
  through fifteenth, sixteenth through twentieth. My Pepper one or two in there maybe,
• 11:09
  but the vast majority of my players are going to be starting from twenty
• 11:15
  first, Ryan Blaney all the way through the back. Yes, that includes
• 11:20
  one BJ McLeod and Cody Ware. Everybody and anybody besides the first fifteen in
• 11:28
  my opinion, is in play this Sunday at Talladega. As always, I
• 11:35
  will be in the discord with any in all questions. As of now,
• 11:41
  there is rain in the Talladega, Alabama area. As of now, as
• 11:48
  of my recording this, which is Saturday night, four point thirty in the
• 11:52
  afternoon Eastern time, there is no rain delay or anything like that, and
• 11:56
  the race is on as schedule. If there is any rain delays, I
• 12:03
  will make sure to let the discord know DraftKings is normally good at pushing lock
• 12:13
  back if there is a rain delay before the race begins. But please do
• 12:18
  keep vigilant and keep an eye out as well for any and all possible schedule
• 12:24
  changes. They definitely won't start earlier than scheduled green flag start time. Also,
• 12:31
  real quickly, I want to mention no practice this week. You will
• 12:35
  see practice here is blank on the stone. Also shout out to this new
• 12:39
  beautiful webstone. Shout out to Jeremy, I hope you don't mind and be
• 12:43
  using your real name who did this excellent conversion job to our new web based
• 12:50
  stone. So yeah, projections, we'll be showing up here in ownership as
• 12:56
  well, and we already have our odds and get usnill sneak peak to our
• 13:00
  power rankings here. It's it's talidaig and it's lottery, so I don't mind.
• 13:03
  You've got fine folks, see it that, so I do believe that
• 13:09
  is everything. Yep, that's all the common and discussion points I have.
• 13:16
  You know what I'm going to end with. As always, please go ahead
• 13:20
  and use code hoop fifteen for fifteen percent off any membership or any monthly or
• 13:28
  annual membership. And with those monthly and annual memberships you do get discord access.
• 13:35
  We do also have weekly access. Code hoop fifteen does not work on
• 13:41
  those weekly accounts. However, if you did want to try it out for
• 13:45
  a week, you are absolutely able to do so. However, discord access
• 13:50
  is not included in those weekly accounts. Okay, once again, code hoop
• 13:54
  fifteen for fifteen percent off any monthly or annual membership plan. Alright, everybody,
• 14:01
  that is it for me. Thank you once again for taking a little
• 14:05
  bit out of your day out to listen to this quick hit. And may
• 14:09
  we all ship it basted and monsthered, and as had been started, land
• 15:11
  and unst and then stand and then sat
