- 0:05All systems going clear you left up. Hey there everyone, and happy race
- 0:39day and welcome to this week's NASCAR quick hit here at ship at Nation.
- 0:44As always, please go ahead and hit that like button and subscribe if you
- 0:49haven't already. It really does go a long way in helping us with the
- 0:54YouTube algorithm. Before we break down today's Echo Park Echo Park Automotive Texas Grand
- 1:02Prix at the Circuit of the America's. Let's of course mention code hoop fifteen.
- 1:08Hoop fifteen gets you fifteen percent off any membership plan. Not weekly,
- 1:15but it does give you fifteen percent off monthly, yearly, and we cover
- 1:19NFL, NBA, PGA, MMA, NHL, MLB, which is coming
- 1:26up right around the corner, college football, and of course NASCAR. So
- 1:32once again that is code hoop fifteen for fifteen percent off any membership plan.
- 1:38All right, let's go ahead and begin our breakdown of the Echo Park Texas
- 1:45Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas. Today's race is sixty eight laps
- 1:52around the pretty much three and a half mile road course located in Austin,
- 1:57Texas. So if you are new to NASCAR, that's right, you will
- 2:02get to see them turn left, end right. Okay, a little bit
- 2:07of a different race for us. Obviously, with only sixty eight laps,
- 2:14we're not going to focus too much on dominators. Yes, we still have
- 2:17dominators in our lineups, but probably only one or two compared to most weeks
- 2:24where we'd be playing three or four or two or three, rather because there
- 2:29is only sixty eight laps, so there's really only forty seven point six dominator
- 2:35points available, so not too many up for grabs. Of course, green
- 2:39flag time is at three point thirty pm Eastern, and in America, once
- 2:45again, it is on the Fox Networks, but for our fine friends in
- 2:50Canada, programming Alert, it will be on CTV two. I am very
- 2:58much located in America, so I have no idea what CTV two is.
- 3:01However, I have researched this and because of March Madness this week for Canada,
- 3:07the NASCAR race will be on CTV two. So if you are in
- 3:12Canada and you enjoy this, don't miss out CTV two at three thirty pm
- 3:15Eastern. All right, let's go ahead and break down four of my favorite
- 3:22plays of the slate. Let me switch to my screenshot view here. One
- 3:27thing I quickly want to mention, and this is really for the ship at
- 3:30Nation members, but really for you YouTube as well. We have added the
- 3:38driver name and their practice group here on the right side of the Rosetta stone.
- 3:44I currently have that colored neon green and yellow on back backgrounds. That's
- 3:50probably not the best color choosing on my part, So if this is not
- 3:57easy on your eyes, please just let me know and I will work on
- 4:00those colored choices for next week's race. All right, Moving on, the
- 4:08first driver I would like to focus on is our highest priced driver on today's
- 4:13slate, and that is one Tyler Reddick from twenty three to eleven racing.
- 4:18He is ten thy five hundred on DraftKings and fourteen thousand on FanDuel and frankly,
- 4:26he is a road course stud and a CODA stud. While there has
- 4:33only been three races at CODA and two of them being next Gen, Reddick
- 4:40has starts a fourth and second, and he paired those starts with finishes of
- 4:46fifth and first. Okay, And that first place finish was just last year's
- 4:51race, and I believe he led like forty six or forty seven laps.
- 4:56He dominated the thing. Okay. He is the high Price driver on DraftKings.
- 5:01Like I mentioned, he qualified third and I do expect him to get
- 5:06up towards the front by the end of today's race. Next up is down
- 5:15here at eighty seven hundred on DraftKings, eleven five hundred on Fan Duel.
- 5:23Ty Gibbs, the youngest member of Joe Gibbs Racing, has been impressive in
- 5:32the Infinity Series. Ty Gibbs has has been a road course ace and while
- 5:39he has not gotten any wins yet in the NASCAR Cup Series, he's gotten
- 5:45pretty close. Is this the week we see Ty Gibbs finally cross the finish
- 5:50line first and get his first NASCAR victory? He would not shock me.
- 5:56He unloaded fast. He was second in practice, and he was first.
- 6:01He was second in the one lap practice and first in the five lab practice.
- 6:06And then between the time of practice and qualifying there was a pretty big
- 6:12shift in track conditions. The track got a little bit slicker. That didn't
- 6:16change Ty Gibbs at all. Okay, Ty Gibbs still qualified second, meaning
- 6:21he is starting on the front roll alongside of Hendrick Motorsports's William Byron. Personally,
- 6:30I expect Ty Gibbs to get out front in this race at the start
- 6:34and lead. Will that happen? Will Willy b get the jump? Who
- 6:40knows? But Ty Gibbs has been knocking on the door, and I think
- 6:45he's ready to burst the damn thing down. I am big on Ty Gibbs
- 6:48today and I think we might see him finally notch his first victory. Hopefully
- 6:56we will see. Next up I have here is Joey Logano. Joey Logano
- 7:03hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire recently, and as you see here,
- 7:10even his qualifying position it's thirty fifth And you're like, why in the
- 7:15world would be blake of the driver starting thirty fifth at a road course?
- 7:18Well, because during qualifying Joey Logano cut the s's so at the circuit of
- 7:26the Americas. In fact, if I quickly show me back to my graphic,
- 7:30there are s turns okay, and NASCAR has imposed track limits on those
- 7:38s turns. And if all four of your tires are across a line,
- 7:44basically it's like the curb, and then there's like a section of green or
- 7:46section of red. If all four of your tires are in that section,
- 7:51that is a penalty. And that penalty in the race will be a drive
- 7:57through penalty. In qualifying, they just disallowed the lap because it wasn't a
- 8:03valid lap. Because of that, he qualified thirty fifth as he did not
- 8:09have a chance to get a second faster lap on the board. Joey Logano
- 8:15at seventy four hundred dollars starting thirty fifth, I'll take the place differential upside
- 8:22all day on that one. And speaking of place differential upside, we're gonna
- 8:28go down to uh let's see here my final driver that I would like to
- 8:33speak about today, Noah Gregson. Noah Gregson is starting dead last in thirty
- 8:41ninth at the Circuit of the Americas today, and that's because during his qualifying
- 8:48lap, I believe it was Daniel Suarez lost control or somehow had a mishap
- 8:54in front of him which caused Noah Gregson to lock up the brakes and flat
- 8:58spot his tires. Flat spotting your tires means basically, when you lock up
- 9:03your brakes and your tire skid, a flat spot develops on the once round
- 9:07tire, so you can't go really fast if part of your tire is literally
- 9:13flat and you know straight right. So his his qualifying time, I think
- 9:20was like literally like like in miles per hour. I want to say everybody
- 9:24was averaging between ninety two and ninety three miles an hour for their lap.
- 9:28I want to say his was like seventy four or seventy five. He was
- 9:33down towards the bottom, but that's because of the flat spot of the tires.
- 9:37Okay. One thing about Noah. If you've been watching NASCAR this season,
- 9:43you will see that Noah has been the shining light of the Stuart Hawes
- 9:46organization, and he can't gain you any negative points because he's starting dead last,
- 9:58a right, starting dead last, sixty five hundred dollars. Twenty third
- 10:03in the one lap speeds not the best, but he did rank seventh in
- 10:09the five lap speeds, which is pretty good considering I want to say,
- 10:13like twenty five drivers. Yeah, twenty five drivers did take five lap runs
- 10:20and he was seventh. Okay, So much like Joey Logano, I will
- 10:26also take the cheap upside with Noah Gregson. Dead last sixty five hundred dollars,
- 10:31can't score you negative points and he can only go up, which is
- 10:37what we are looking for. So that is everything I have for today's NASCAR
- 10:43Quick hit. I apologize. I feel like I'm cutting this a little bit
- 10:46short. My wife and I have both been down with the stomach bug,
- 10:50so I do apologize if this hasn't been as funny or jovial as usual.
- 10:56But as always, I will be in the discord the game. I'm Eric
- 11:00the game in Discord, so if you have any questions, please feel free
- 11:03to tag me. And that's all I have for now, because I have
- 11:09a core report and a sleep plan to work for work on for the ship
- 11:11at Nation website. So once again, real quick before I wrap up,
- 11:16code Hoop fifteen gives you fifteen percent off a monthly or yearly plan at ship
- 11:22at Nation. And we cover NFL, NBA, PGA, which the Vallas
- 11:26War Tournament's going on right now, MMA, there's a UFC show on tonight,
