• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I got the fight going on below me. I keep

• 2:44
  Speaker 1: NHL hops off Tuesday. We got the race tomorrow. We're
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in full NHL and college football season. Folks, you owe
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it to yourselves. ShipItNation.com, one-stop shop for all things DFS.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Everything you need to have fun with DFS for less. Folks,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: let's head back to the Hollywood Casino 400 taking place
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: at Kansas Speedway. This will be a quicker quick hit
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: video than we normally do for two reasons. One, for
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the third race out of the last four races, and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: it might even be three weeks in a row. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: need to go back and look. Practice and qualifying were
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: canceled today. And the starting lineup was set via the rulebook.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So once again, we're kind of going into this weekend blind. Now,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: lucky for us, we have power rankings and they have
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: raced many times on the mile and a half package,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: on the mile and a half tire package, et cetera,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: et cetera. So while we are going in blind into
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: today's race, we do have a lot of data from
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: just this past year we can look at to make
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: educated decisions. And my second reason why this will be
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a quick hit video is I am under the weather.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I am, uh, I'm very much rocking a killer sore
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: throat at the moment. Uh, and I'm very much on
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: an energy drink and lots of over the counter cold
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: medicine to get through this video. So we're kind of,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: We're going to get this baby done and dusted, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: then we're going to go to bed. That's my plan
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: for Sunday evening. So anyway, let's go ahead and pull
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: up the NASCAR stoned PDF version 4.739. Just kidding. I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: use this version of the stone so I can easily
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: blank out projections and ownership. I can't do that as
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: easy on the stone 2.0 web page. But like I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: mentioned before, qualifying and practice rained out today. And I'm
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: going to gripe here for a second. Kansas was affected
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: by weather all day today. They had a heck of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a time getting the truck race in. Like, it was
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a struggle of a day at the racetrack. Absolutely. However...
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: This is the third race out of the last four
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: that have had qualifying and practice, practice and qualifying rained out,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: canceled out, weathered out, whatever, out, right? Like, you got
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to let these guys practice something. Like, even tomorrow before
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the race, like, give them a 30-minute session. I don't know.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: The fact that we're going into these playoff races blind,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and it's now been the third race out of the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: last four. Don't love it. Don't love it. But yeah,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: like I said, no practice. Practice of qualifying. We're rained out.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: We have 267 laps on tap for us on Sunday afternoon,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: which should equal out to... 186.9 dominator points up for grabs.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: We will want to target those points. I'm recommending at
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: least two dominators or rather at least two potential dominators
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: per lineup. And with the way the lineups or with
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the way the starting lineup has shaken out, I don't
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: think that's going to be too difficult to do. So
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: let's go ahead and take a quick run through the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: starting lineup. And like I said earlier, folks, since we
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have no practice today, And no qualifying to go off of.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: We have a lot of the cream of the crop
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: up top and a lot of the not so cream
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of the crop down towards the bottom, which is to
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: be expected, right? For this week, since we don't have
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: practice and qualifying to build the lineups off to help
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: build our player pool, I highly, highly, highly, highly recommend
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: using these power rankings. The power rankings are there to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: help you. They're not just there for show. Recent form
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: is how they've been running over the last 10 races,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: regardless of track type. Is someone on the downward spiral
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: trending downward? There you go. You get to easily tell there.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Is someone trending upward? There you go. You can easily tell.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: That's what that recent form is. Track rank is how
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: they've been running at this track since, at this point,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the 2023 season. I did remove the 2022 data from
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: this column just because that was the very first year
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: of next gen. And we have we have grown past
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that as far as data is concerned. So I have
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: 2022 kicked out and it's from 2023 on forward. That's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: how they run at specifically in this track. And a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: track type is normally what tires they ran or are
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: running at this week's race. Just how whatever else they
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: ran that exact tire combination at this year. And for
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: this week, the track type rank has like six, seven,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: eight races in it. It's a decent amount of data.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: So while I would love to have practice to look at,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: at least we have the power rankings to help us.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and take a look at the
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: starting lineup here. Starting on the poll is Joey Logano. Now,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the metric is like 30%. owner's points and 70% last
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: week's finish or vice versa that, but it is a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: combination of the two. Um, Joey Lugano is on the pole.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: He won last week. He's been definitely trending upward. I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: don't really love him here today considering who's all behind him. Uh,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Kyle Larson starting second. I love me Larson, assuming he
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: starts on the outside or even on the inside. It
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. I love me some Larson on Sunday. Uh,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Larson and Redick and Bell, I don't like to classify
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: them as the dirt trackers, but they're the three who
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: don't mind ripping that upper top wall right against the wall, like,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you know, centimeters apart from it, right? So I expect
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Larson to be ripping that wall and to be battling
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: up and around the front for the entire day on Sunday.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Next up, Christopher Bell, like I mentioned earlier as well,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: he's fantastic. at this style of racetrack, give me some Z-Bell,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Carson Josevar, public enemy numero uno, by everybody at NASCAR,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: except for the fan base, and maybe some DFS players
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: don't like him either, he's been fast all season, I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: don't really consider him a dominator possibility, but with the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: way this season goes, it wouldn't surprise me to see
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: him lead some laps, if not a chunk of it,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: but There are some Kansas dogs behind him and in
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: front of him that I just, that's a tough hill
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to climb. Ty Gibbs, Joe Gibbs Racing in fifth. I
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: don't really consider him a dom just because of how
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: good everybody else is at Kansas. But he's been fast
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: all season. He can do it again. He shouldn't be
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: surprised when he does good because we're past that. Denny Hamlin,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: love me some Denny Hamlin. 10,500 on DraftKings, plus 425
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: on the books. Fantastic at Kansas. Over 400 laps led,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I believe. Just fantastic at practice or at Kansas. Bubba
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Wallace in 23XI car, starting in seventh. Yep, I'll take
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a shot on him. Him and Redick, fantastic at Kansas.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Fantastic about halfs. I'm fairly certain this is where Bubba
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: right hooked Larson many moons ago and got suspended for
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a week. Yeah, Bubba definitely has some history here. And
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: we don't really see $ 9, 000 price Bubba Wallace much. So
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: even DraftKings is giving him some love. So love me
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: some Bubba Wallace. Willie B is still looking for that
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: breakout performance, in my opinion, of this season. Could that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: happen on Sunday? Absolutely. Do I expect it to? I don't.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Ryan Preece in ninth. I like Ryan priest. I don't
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: like him here. He's probably going to be a fade
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: for me, but he is in the playoffs, even though
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: he's not going to like with a championship or anything.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: So because of that, he should be considered for the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: player pool, but I can't imagine getting too much of him.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Josh Berry is in 10th. Look, Josh Berry's King of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: short tracks. And, and he's did win in a mile
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and a half. I believe he won at Vegas last year.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I see him continuing that, that
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: speed from 10th place on Sunday. Can I be wrong? Absolutely.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: But I'll be surprised. Uh, Austin Sindrick in 11th. I'll
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: take a shot. Um, yeah, no, no, no. He's I, I,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I consider him a little bit of a better version
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of Josh Berry. And I think a lot of NASCAR
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: folks would probably think that sacrilege, but, uh, I do
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: rank Sindrick a bit over Berry. Um, So I'm probably
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: not going to go out of my way to play Sendrick,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: but if he would make it into my lineups, I
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be too, too upset. Chris Buescher, yeah, I'll take
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a chance on. I wish he was starting deep in
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the back for us, but love me some Buescher. Ross Chastain,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: he has a decent track rank, but man, those track
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: house cars are slow. So I think you have to
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: consider him just because of his past here at Kansas,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: but I just, track house kind of scares me. Daniel
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Suarez and family welcome baby boy into the world. I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: believe it was earlier this week. So congratulations to me, amigo.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: He shouldn't be on baby watch as far as missing
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: a race anytime soon or anytime in the near future.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: So he's safe to fully play again. With that said,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: if he was starting 34th, I'd be all over it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: But 14th, not the biggest fan. Tyler Reddick starting 15th. Yep,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I'll take a shot. It's amazing how fast and how
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: many wins he had earlier in the season to now
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: see his, uh, recent form be C plus like how
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the mighty have fallen. Uh, but a trip to Kansas
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: could be just what the doctor ordered for good old
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: red dog. Um, two time winner, I believe as well.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I might be wrong on that. It might be a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: one-time winner. So please don't, you know, if I'm wrong,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: please don't come at me with pitch force. But, uh,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Red Dog, Bubba Wallace, Joe Gibbs Racing, 23XI. Yeah, they'll
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: be the players on Sunday, along with Larson, in my opinion.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Brad K in 16th. Yeah, I'll take a shot. He's very, very,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: very middle of the road. C +, E +, C +,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: for every power ranking. I wish he was a little
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: bit cheaper since he's that quote-unquote mediocre, but we play
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: with what we got, so. I don't know if I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: love Brad at 7,900, but he'll still be in the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: player pool. SVG gets 6,400. No, I'm going to take
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a pass. When he was trending towards the playoffs, I
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: was much more open to it, but I think I'm
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: going to fade him on Sunday. Chase Elliott is projecting
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: really good with some decent ownership. Good track rank. I'm
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: just not the biggest Chase Elliott fan. I just, I
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: don't know if I see him driving up through the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: field tomorrow to be 18th, but he is getting ownership.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: So he should be considered. I just don't know if
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I see him doing that on Sunday, especially when you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: have Larson, Bell, Gibbs, Hamlin, Bubba, Willie B, a rhetoric
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: all in front of him to start the day. Like,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Those are some strong cars. Austin Dillon in 19th. If
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you got to save some money somewhere, I don't mind
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: taking a chance on 83. He's starting 19th. Do I
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: expect him to drop back? Absolutely. But he has surprised
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: us with some decent runs in the past. So if
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: you need to save some money and he's the last,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: he's the last minute or a last driver in type scenario. Sure.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Roll it out. Todd Gilliland, Noah Gregson. That's going to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: be double nose for me dog there. Same with Michael McDowell.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Spires fast. He's just not. So no go for me there.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Chase Briscoe starting 23rd. Yup. Yup. Yup. Yup. Joe Gibbs
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: racing car. 23rd place. Great PD upside race winning upside even. Yeah.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Love me some Chase Briscoe. Dinger and 24th. No. Blaney
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in 25th, yes, we all know Blaney. We talk about
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: it every week. Pit crew is kind of sus, but
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he's fast week in and week out. If the pit
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: crew can get their stack, get their act together, there's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: no reason why Blaney doesn't have a way better day
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: than 25th place, right? So it's going to be a
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: long day, but he can do it. Uh, John Hunter Nemechek.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: That's going to be a no for me, dog. Connor Zilich.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: That's going to be a no for me, dog. Uh,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Zane Smith, the furthest starting front row motorsports car. I'll
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: take a chance just because he's starting so deep in
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the field. Uh, Cole Custer. No, they're, um, I see that. No,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: he's the only, there's only three drivers in the 4,000
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: range and he's one of the three. So that's a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: no for me there. Uh, Eric Jones. Yup. I'll take
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: a chance on that Jones boy. I know his recent
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: form and track form don't look the greatest, but his
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: track type rank does, and that's all data from this year,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: so I'll take a shot on it. Let's see here.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Ricky Sennhouse Jr. If you gotta save money, okay. Same
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: goes for Austin Hill. If you're looking to save some
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: money somewhere, I'll take a shot. I don't love it
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination, but not every, like,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I expect someone to pass somebody. Right.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: So like Ricky's 10 house or Austin, they'll have a
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: decent day and put you or separate you or make
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: you different enough to, to not dupe. So go over
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the moon with them. No, but maybe some exposure in
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: one fifties. Sure. Uh, Alex Bowman, this is when you
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: play him. In my opinion, he stands out like a
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: sore thumb, uh, only, um, what 7300 plus 45 on
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the books is the track rank of b uh really
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: good here at phoenix not phoenix really good here at
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: kansas um d plus track type rank which is kind
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: of scary since that's all generated from this year but
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: you can't ignore that track rank and uh the equipment
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: he's in for how far back he is uh riley
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: herbst yep i'll take a shot on him he announced
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: his new ride He's no longer a lame duck. Yup,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I'll take a chance on Riley Herbst and Cody Ware
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: and Ty Dillon are both no for me dogs. Hey,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that's it for me. Like I said, I wish there
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: was more for me to go through, but with no practice,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: no qualifying, we're just stuck with what the rule book
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: gives us, which is what we got right now. So
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: as of now, which is 1030 on Saturday night, there
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: have been no drivers announced to the rear. I highly
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: doubt there will be any drivers announced to the rear
• 18:48
