  Speaker 1: All systems gone clear the left of Hello, and welcome
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to this weekend's NASCAR quick Hit. Here at ship Nation,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I am Eric, also known as the Game on Discord,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and this morning, because it's still technically morning when I'm
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: recording this, we are going to be breaking down the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Cracker Barrel four hundred, which is taking place at the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Nashville Superspeedway. However, don't let that track name fool you,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: because this is nothing at all like Daytona and Talladega. Instead,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the Nashville Superspeedway is a one point three mile concrete trioval.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Why they call it a superspeedway, I don't know. As always,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: please go ahead and hit that like button, and please
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: subscribe to our channel if you haven't already. It really
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: does go an incredible long way in helping us with
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the YouTube algorithm. Before we break down the Cracker Barrel
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: four hundred taking place at the Nashville super Speedway, let
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: me shout out quickly, sabersim. Let me quickly pull back
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: here while I tried not to break the virtual camera
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and still be picked up by the microphone, they presented
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: us these awesome ship A Nation hockey jerseys, so I
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm getting ready to play goalie in the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Mighty Ducks number two, So huge shout out to Saber
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: sim for the hockey jerseys. They're they're pretty bad ass.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Let me grab a sip of water. I successfully muted
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and I am happy for that. All right. There are
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: three hundred laps on deck four Sunday's race, which means
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: we should have roughly two hundred and ten Dominator points
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: up for grabs on DraftKings, and we will once we
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: target those points. Practice this weekend was quite the interesting
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: bird uh. First, and perhaps the most important note about
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: practice is that practice took place on Saturday afternoon and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the race is taking place on Sunday night. Track conditions.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: While they may not be drastically different between the race
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and practice, they still will be different, so I would
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: not reckon men totally building my player pull off of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: practice results. Next up, quick note about practice is, in
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: what feels like a weekly tradition, Kyle Busch once again
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: spun in practice, but did not hit anything, so no
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: damage to his number eight Chevy. I don't believe he
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: made a ten lap consecutive run, and truthfully, it would
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: not be surprising if they went to the rear like
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they did last week. Now, last week they had a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: power steering issue and this weekend he just self spun.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Still though maybe the self spun leads them to make
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: some changes, So keep an eye out for Kyle Busch.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And perhaps the most important story out of practice is
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that of aj Allmandinger. The Dinger in his number sixteen
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: colleague Racing Chevy, successfully made it through the NASCAR inspection
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: process and onto the practice grip until NASCAR spotted something
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: they did not like. From what I understand it was
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: changes to the splitter of the car. Someone had to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: nark them out right, like, how do you make it
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: through the inspection and then get caught afterwards? So someone
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: knarked them out. Because of NASCAR spotting this infraction, NASCAR
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: pulled the sixteen off the practice grid, made them repair
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the infraction, go back through tech inspection, and then held
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the team for ten minutes of practice and follow up
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to that penalty, the number sixteen of Aja Olmninger will
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: have to drop to the rear of today's race as
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: well as perform a pass through penalty. The Dinger qualified
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: seventeenth after all of this, and the Dinger has been
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: quite good at these type of race tracks. This year, however,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: because of this, because of this penalty, in my opinion,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that Dinger is pretty much unplayable unless he gets an
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: early caution. If he gets an early caution and you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: trust aj Allmendinger to work his way up from thirty
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: ninth place, by all means play him. He's not from
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: me though. Over the past four years, this race has
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: averaged ten ten caution flags, with last year's race having
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: fifteen cautions with an astonishing thirty one lapse of NASCAR overtime.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Let's hope we do not get a similar race this
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: year because that was brutal last year. Last year's race
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: saw old slice spread Joey Logano push his final tank
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: of gas an amazing one hundred and ten laps to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: take home the victory. If you're a NASCAR fan, can
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you remember that at the end of that race, cars
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: were just falling off left and right to pit for
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: gas and Joey's ford just kept shrugging along and he
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: won the race. But he was not a dominant factor
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: at all in that race. Um, that's it for practice
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and notes on last year's race. So now let's go
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: ahead and discuss this year's race in this slate. First
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and foremost, let me touch on likely everyone's top dominator
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: play and that would be Denny Hamlin. Denny Hamlin is
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a concrete racing god and that's exactly what Nashville Super
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Speedway is. However, Danny is on baby watch this weekend,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and it is a situation that we as DFS players
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: need to keep an eye on. So, as I mentioned,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Denny is on baby watch his I think it's his wife.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure is due today. June first, I do
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: believe is her due date. And Denny has made it
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: very clear that if the baby comes in a predetermined
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: time frame that Denny is gone from Nashville to watch
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the birth of his first son. Who can blame him, right, However,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: we don't know a what that timeframe is for Denny Hamlin,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: or if Denny Hamlin will get out of the car
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: mid race. Now, what's important for us is these few things.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Ryan true X is on hand to substitute for Denny
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Hamlin if necessary. Ryan true X, not Martin. Ryan true X,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that's Martin's baby brother. Got good a drink of water?
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Christ all right? If Denny Hamlin starts the race. If
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: he's in the car at the start of the race
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: on DraftKings we meeting Denny Hamlin will accumulate all of
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: the DraftKings points for the number eleven car. So if
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: he starts the race and literally gets out two laps
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in and Ryan Truex gets in, Denny Hamlin is still
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: scored all of those points. If Denny would not start
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the race and Ryan Truex would start the car, Denny
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Hamlin would score no points. Ryan Truex would score all
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of the points. Ryan Truex does have a salary on
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: this late I think it's like sixty eight hundred, and
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I am almost positive of this car would then start
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the race at the rear because of a driver change.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: If that scenario happens, I kind of think it's unplayable, right,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Like Ryan Truex isn't gonna come from dead last through
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the field. I mean, I shouldn't say that because then
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: it happens. But would you rather want a Denny Hamlin
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to start the race and start the entire race? Obviously?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Would we want Denny Hamlin to start the race and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: then Ryan Truex jump in, Well, that wouldn't be ideal,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: but at least Denny would score the points in that scenario.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Do we want Ryan Truex to start this car? Absolutely not.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: So it's a little peak behind the curtain. It's eleven
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: thirty eight Eastern time as of the recording of this video,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and there is no update to this Denny Hamlin situation.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I kind of was hoping there would be and there's not.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: The race is a Sunday night race. I think Locke
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: is like seven o'clock seven. It's probably like seven eighteen
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: or something like that. So there is still plenty of
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: time for this news to break, and of course I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: will alert the discord as soon as this news breaks.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: But it is something, and that something is Denny Hamlin's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: status for today to keep an eye on for us
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: DFS players. And the next bullet point to touch on
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: is the twenty eighth starting position of one Kyle Larsen
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and what feels like a rarity. Larson showed absolutely no
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: speed in practice and then no speed in qualifying. Normally
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: he gives you one or the other right this weekend,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: nothing as is referenced by his twenty eighth play starting
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: position and his dreadful practice speeds. Still, however, this is
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Kyle Larson with crew chief Cliff Daniels and Hendrick Motorsports.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And as I mentioned earlier in this video, practice conditions
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and race conditions aren't exactly the same. As again, practice
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: happened during the day, and well, qualifying happened during the day,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and the race is happening during the night. We obviously
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: know Kyle Larson is fast and he can pass cars,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and because of this, he should be strongly considered for
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: all formats, strongly considered for all formats. However, we also
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: have seen Lawson kind of get in his own way
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and self spin in these kind of situations. Hell, he
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: did it last week leading the race. He's definitely done
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: it in the past when he feels like he has
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a tone of ground to make up. Because Larson's all
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: or nothing, right, So keep that in mind when you're
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: building your lineups and you're including Kyle Larson. He has
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: been known, I don't want to say known, but he
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: has definitely stepped on it and gotten in his own
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: way in very similar situations as to this. So I
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: don't want to say buyer beware, but buyer strongly consider.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: All right, let me go ahead now and officially minimize
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: all of my notes and just kind of look at
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the stone here. I have projections done. However, as of
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: this recording, I do not have ownership done. I'm waiting
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: on two data sets to be released. I don't have
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: yet to help me finish ownership, and as soon as
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: those are released, I will be able to finish ownership.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: But I do have projections finished, and by far, Denny
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Hamlin is the most I would say, the top dominator
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: play for everybody. He is the concrete god. He is
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: excellent at this style of racetrack. Probably should have won
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this race last year. Not that I'm saying to use practice,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: but good in practice. He was good in the fast
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: group practice groupie. I would love if he started on
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the pole. The only hang up with me going you know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: quote unquote all in with Denny Hamlin besides the baby
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: watch stuff, is Chase Briscoe's on the pole. Uh, Chase
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Briscoe gets the best line to start the race. Chase
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Briscoe was fast in that same practice session. So it's
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: not like you can be like, oh, well, Chase Briscoe
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: was fast in group. Hey yatta gotta YadA, like he
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: was fast in the same group. He's in the same
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: equipment as Denny. Chase's price tag is slowly going up
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: on DraftKings. I don't mind taking a shot with Chase Briscoe.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Should you play both Chase Briscow and Denny Hamlin That
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know, But it would not at all surprise
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: me to say, Chase Briscoe get the jump on this
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: race and lead the bulk of stage one, because look,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: he was fast throughout practice, throughout even the thirty lap right,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: So that wouldn't surprise me at all. On the flip side,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me to see him get passed fairly
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: quickly a LAH, just like last week by Denny Hamlin.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So those are my thoughts on the top two. Next
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: up for dumb options Willie B. Tyler, Redick, Ross, Chastain
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: and c Bell all great plays. Probably Chastain and Reddick
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: would be my top two after Denny. Chastain has been
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: fantastic at Nashville. There's been four races in total at Nashville,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: three of them in the next gen car. Ross has
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: been fantastic in all of them, including in the old car.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So Ross is great all the time here. That's why
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: he has the ten thousand dollars price tag. And plus
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: he won last week from dead last, so Ross definitely
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: has mojo there, fantastic here and he's ninety eight hundred,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: so he's cheaper than everybody else. Sebell threat to win
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: all the time. Also up there, we got here. Brad
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: k Eh. I shouldn't say he was also great last week,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: but his season. I still have a struggle using him
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: until he's been like or consistent. Michael mcdalary. They don't
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: have any interest in Joey Logano. He won last year, Yes,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: but he won it because he made that take of
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: gas go forever and there was thirty one lapse of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: overtime in that race last year. I'm not gonna take
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the chance of that happening again, especially at the ninety
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: two hundred dollars price tag. Chris Busher, I like him
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: pretty much every weekend. Chase Elliott. Yes, I like Chase
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Elliott a lot. I don't like him as much much
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: as those in the top seven, but I like Chase
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: on concrete tracks and he showed good speed and he's
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: been good throughout. I kind of wish he was starting
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a bit deeper in the field, but I'll take Chase
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Elliott eleventh Bubba Wallace, eh Ricky Stenhouse Junior No, Eric
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Jones Legacy Motor Club surprised me last week with the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: performances of John Hunter, Nibachek a bunch. I would include
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Eric Jones and your GPP pool. Should he be in
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: your twenty max pool? Probably not? Should he be in
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: your one fifty pool for sure. Ryan Blaney, he's a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: fantastic play all the time. He's he's like the dream
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: DFS play like every week. He's fast every weekend, all
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the weekends, every track type, and he always qualifies kind yeah,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: So he always gives you a place thereferential upside with
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: race winning upside, with race leading upside by the time
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: like stage two three rolls around. So you always love
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Blady Cindrick. Sure. The Dinger I mentioned him earlier. He's
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a big fade for me this weekend. Literally, if you
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: play him, you're gambling on the chance that there's an
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: early caution flag. That's that's kind of how it goes
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: for Dinger, Justin Haley, not for me. Ryan Pries, Yeah,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I like Ryan Price. I don't have him rode up
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: anywhere when any of my plays so far on the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: website currently and he probably won't make that list, but
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I still like him as a play. Josh Barry love him.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Austin Dylon. No, Ty Gibbs, Yeah, I'll take a chance.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I'll take the chance. He he was decent, he has
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: great track history here, he's in good equipment and he
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: starts twenty second. I'll take a chance with Ty Gibbs.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Shane vng Gizberg. It's a big no for me. Alex
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Bowman twenty fourth, Hendrick Motorsports seventy eight hundred. Yep. Kyle Busch,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier, he's self spun in practice, no
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: damage A be aware of him potentially dropping to the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: rear and be I don't know. I just the man
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: has talent. Oh god, does this car suck for him? Period?
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Carson House of Bar. Yeah, he's fast all season. He is.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I was saying this last year about Ty Gibbs. So
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna put my foot in my mouth with
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the host of Bar, but he's gonna get close. If not,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: he's gonna win one of these damn things, one of
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: these one of these weekends. So yeah, fire out some
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: hopes of r for me. Zaye Smith is probably a no. Larson,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: of course, Cole Custer, Yeah, Noah Gregson. If my choices
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: is Cole Custer, Noah Gregson or ty Dylan. Well, I mean,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: no Gregson's sixty four hundred compared to the other two.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I don't have any issues taking a
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: shot on Noah. I wish he I wish he was
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: performing a little bit better, But I don't think that's
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: a HIMM problem. I think it's an equipment problem. So yeah,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I have no problem taking a shot on Noah ty Dylan.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: You know what, for five k sure, why not take
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the shot on Ty Dylan Daniel Suarez. He's in the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: track house equipment that Ross chestain In qualified fifth in
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and Miamigo is starting thirty second. Buyer beware, uh time
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: time Corey Heim is making a Cup Series start for
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: twenty three eleven. Umm, I wish he wasn't sixty seven hundred. Um,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I really wish he wasn't sixty seven hundred. If he
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: was fifty seven hundred. Yeah, if you aren't aware, Corey
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Heim is a Truck Series standout. He's like the must
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: click every week of the Truck Series DFS game. If
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: you're looking for players to fill your one fifty GP
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: people's sure throw them in there. But twenty max in below,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: No Cody Ware, no Gilliland yep, Nima check, yep. He
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: looked great last week. Is that gonna happen again? Who
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the hell knows. But for fifty five hundred and all
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: that PD upside, I'll take it. Riley Herbs eh he
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: he would be the furthest back I would consider because
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: old JJ Yale is a big no for me and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Chad Fincham is a no for me. So I feel
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: like most players, as far as how deep they will
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: be starting, folks will probably stop with John Hunter Nima check.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: But I would include Riley Herps as well because he's
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: in that same twenty three or eleven equipment that Corey Heim
• 21:47
