• 3:36
  Speaker 1: my first basketball data slate this afternoon, today, tonight. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: don't even know what time the games are. And I'm
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: looking forward to that. Hockey is here. Baseball playoffs are happening.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Golf is still happening. I've got to be honest. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: really don't follow golf this time of year. And I
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: saw an update from the editor that Round four PGA
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: projections have been updated. And I was like, oh, my goodness,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: we're still golfing. So golf is still in full swing.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: We had Saturday morning MMA yesterday. It ended in the early,

• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Look at this website. Gosh. Good job.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: All right. Let me go ahead and go back to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: this tab so I can log back in to ShipItNation.com.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Because we're going to use the stone 2.0 as our
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: tool today. Let me get that up here. Here we go.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, perfect.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So today it is the yellow wood pressure treated pine
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: 500 at Talladega super feedway. There is like 131 dominator
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: points or something like that up for grabs. We don't
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: care about those at all. Dominators, we don't need them.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Dominators don't care because why, why, why? place differential is
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the king today. The only thing that matters is place differential.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: The only thing that matters is place differential. Because the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: big one, the big one, can and often does happen
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: at this style of racetrack. What is this style of racetrack?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I would assume at this point of the year, most
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: everybody who follows me or watches this content knows what
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a super speedway style race is. But Just in case
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: we haven't or just in case we do have a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: brand new viewer, Super Speedway Racing is high speed.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Everybody's packed together.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And the big one, which is a major accident that
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: can and often does take out half of the field
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: or more, can happen at literally any time.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I have to hit the cough button.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: One moment. professional broadcaster baby um the big one can
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and often does happen at any time at any time
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and with it being so spread out fast laps are
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: quite literally spread out throughout the entire field and there
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: could be any anybody can lead this thing so our
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: traditional dominators are no way in play today and really
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: no one in the top 10 top 15 are really
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: in play today Because we are stacking the back. We
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: are simply, simply, simply, simply focusing on place differential. And
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of people, myself included, sort of consider this
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a wild card slash lottery type slate.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: A lot of people love these type of slates.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Like Ram Racing, who is a very popular member in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: our Discord channel, very active member. These are his favorite
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: slates of the year. He literally looks forward to these
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: slates the most, right? So it is very wild card-esque.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It is very lottery-esque, but you can build smartly to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: play the lottery, right? You can do this, you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the educated way and hope to cash, or you can
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: just throw sticks into a wall. So we take the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: education route. And let me go ahead and pull up
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the stone 2.0. And on these super speedway slates, I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: really don't care showing your projections.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I really don't care about showing you ownership.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Because it's a lottery. It's a wild card.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Quite literally, there's 40 cars in this race today.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: 40.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: 37 of them have a legitimate shot to win this
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: race today. And that's not an exaggeration like by any
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: stretch of the imagination. Out of 40 cars, quite literally
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: 37 of them have a legitimate shot to win the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: race today. Now, do the Vegas odds reflect that? No,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: there's some crazy odds. Those crazy odds, some of those
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: crazy odds people have just a shot as like Ryan Blaney,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Denny Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, whoever, of winning this race today.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And that's the truth. That's the truth. So, We're going
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to go ahead and break down this full field. I'm
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: going to cough again. God dang. It's 7.04 in the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: morning as I'm doing this. I've only had one cup
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: of coffee. We have a brand new dog in the house.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you saw on Discord. We adopted
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a three-year-old dog yesterday. So we've been up a little
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: bit earlier than normal this morning. So apologies for having
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to mute all the time.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: But anyway.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Top 15, you could pretty much cross off from 15
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: on 20, maybe play one, and then focus everything else
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: from 20th on back. Like, that's the name of the game.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And some of these crazy high ownership plays, like I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: want to say Ryan Blaney. What's he currently projected at, ownership-wise? Sorry. Sorry.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Forty five percent ownership.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: He can get new an accident in the big one
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: within the first 15 laps, just like anybody else can.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: And that forty five percent ownership goes down the drain.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: So my my biggest things for the day is focus
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: on place differential focus on. stacking the back you will
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: hear that today via nascar uh gambling talking heads especially
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the dfs talking heads but my advice is don't fall
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in love with one particular play like ryan blaney austin
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: syndrick tyler reddick they're your chalk cash plays of the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: game they're great they're awesome at super speedways They could
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: have any chance to win just like anybody else.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: But you know what?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: So does Zane Smith. So does Ty Dillon. So does
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Eric Jones. So does Todd Gilliland. Hell, Daniel Dye, while
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: he's in a shitbox, he's not in that bad of
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a shitbox.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Like, if these accidents happen and these other cars make
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it through and the chalk doesn't, and you're a little
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: bit overweight on these, you know, less than popular place
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: differential plays, you're in the catbird seat. Like this is
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: what today is like today. If anybody tries to like
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: give you like legitimate true strategy for today's race, like, like, like,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you know, we got to focus on, on grabbing, you know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Denny in ninth and pair him with, with C bell
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and six. Then we're going to like, it's, it's, it's,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: it's a, it's wild card. It's Talladega. It's super speedway.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Not to mention it's the chase. Like there's now like,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: like Larson shit the bed last week. And now there's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: like literally seven cars. in the fight for this NASCAR championship.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: So not only do you have the heightened stakes of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the chase, this is the last true shot a lot
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of these teams have to win this season. Right? Like,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I don't want to point to Zane Smith, but someone
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: like Zane Smith, he's.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Not going to win Martinsville and he ain't going to
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: win Homestead.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Right? Like, sorry, Zane. Like, this is their shot. This
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is their shot to end the season good. So just
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: play smartly. Don't like, don't fall in love with one
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: particular chalk play and just try to spread the love
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to everybody from like 20th on back. If you're playing
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: 150 GPP, maybe, maybe sprinkle like an 11th through 15th
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: or 15th through 20th starting position driver in there, like
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: a max of one. and even that super low percentage.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: But other than that, it's just stack the back and
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: stack the back intelligently. So let's go ahead and break
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: down the starting lineup. And I'm going to move this
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: over here, and I'm going to move StreamYard over here.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Perfect.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Starting on the pole, and there's a lot of good
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: cars that we can confidently cross off, including some of
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: my favorite Super Speedway plays. So Chase Briscoe starting on
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: the pole. He ain't playing him. He's on a hot streak, though.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Would not surprise me to see him lead a ton
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of the opening portion. I imagine this race is going
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to be in spurts of boring and then spurts of excitement.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yesterday's Xfinity race was kind of all boring until like
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the very end. I don't think we're going to have
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: that today. I think it's going to be spurts of
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: boring followed by like random spurts of like chaos. This
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: is what I think we're going to get today. Chase
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Briscoe is starting on the pole. I think he'll lead
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: a lot. We won't be playing him. Austin Hill is
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: like the NASCAR O'Reilly series, super speedway goat.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: This would probably be his, his shot.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Only true shot to win a cup race this season.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: We're not playing him. His odds though. Plus 2,500. It's
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: kind of juicy.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Uh, road to Connor Zilich and SVG zero interest in them. Uh,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Zilich is having the season from hell. Uh, SVG has
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: proven when he starts up front, he can stay up front.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: So I would assume he would be.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Uh, in and around the top, uh, portion of the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: field all day today, but this isn't like a mile
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and a half.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: This is a super speedway. So who the hell knows?
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: We're not playing him anyway.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Uh, Chris Buescher and a Christopher Bell, uh, Buescher's really
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: good at, uh, that super speedways not playing him the day. Uh,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: see bell has been on fire recently. Not so great
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: at super speed boys. We're not playing them. Alex Bowman
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and Ty Gibbs. We're not playing them either. Uh, Ty
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Gibbs plus 2000. I think it's kind of high for
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: his odds to win, but Hey, uh, Denny Hamlin and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Kyle Larson. Um, Hey, they're, they're in the points battle.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: This is probably Denny's Denny's probably licking his lips today. Uh,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: to hopefully take back the points lead. But for our purposes,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: we're not playing them. And that probably really, I mentioned
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Ram Racing earlier in the show. He's a huge Kyle
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Larson fan. So the fact that he can probably confidently
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: cross out Kyle Larson, probably, I'm not sure if that
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: makes his building better or worse, but yeah, you can
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: confidently cross out Larson from your plays today. 11th and 12th,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Cody Ware and Austin Dillon. Look, Cody Ware is like,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: He's like a super speedway staple, right?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Like, cause he always starts in like the thirties or
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: near their back.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And then there's Rex happens and he gets through them
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and he finishes positively. Right. We're not playing him today.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And that feels really, really weird. So Cody, where by
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you're not on the list today, Austin Dillon, he's also
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: really good at super speedways. He's also Rex really big
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: at super speedways. He's not on the list today. Mi
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: amigo and Riley Herbst, not on the list today. Riley
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Herbst at being plus what?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: 1,000, 10,000?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: That's kind of crazy. He's in a fast Toyota. He's
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a lame duck going to a new team next season.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he should.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That could be a good betting choice
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: for those who like to bet. Uh, not saying that's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: going to happen, but I don't know. That just doesn't
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: seem right to me. Uh, Ross Chastain and Joey Logano.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Here is where you start to consider adding players to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: your pool. All right. So track house racing, we ignored
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: SVG and Connor Zilich starting up here. Ross Chastain starting
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: at 15th. Might want to consider it. Joey Logano, William Byron,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Joey Logano, Team Penske, fantastic plate racer. A lot of
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: positive vibes around the Logano family this week. They had
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a very heartwarming story where they adopted two children. Very, very,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: actually very sweet. So a lot of positivity around the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Logano family today paired with an excellent plate racer. And
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: he's in the points hunt.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Let me.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Sorry, guys.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I normally know this stuff off the top of my head,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: but there's a lot of racing I talk about during
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: the week. So sometimes I forget. Yeah, Joey Logano is
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: very firmly in the points hunt. The points are, Larson
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: is leading, Seabell's in second, Berisco third, Hamlin fourth, Blaney fifth,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Logano sixth, Redick seventh. Those are the top seven who all,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: in theory, have a chance to win the NASCAR championship
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: because there's a 56-point gap between first-place Larson and seventh-place Redick. So,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: And Larson runs great at super speedways, doesn't finish the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: best at super speedways. So will be interesting to see
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: how this points battle shapes out at the end of
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the day. Anyway, Logano is still in the hunt. I
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: think that is what makes him a worthy click for
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: your player pool, right? He's on that fringe of the
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: PD upside, but he has something to race for. Everyone's
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: racing for a win. He's racing for a win and
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: a championship, right? William Byron, he's fantastic here. He's in
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the chase, but he's down in 14. So he has
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: no shot to win. They're looking for any kind of positivity.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: So give him a sprinkle. Chase Elliott, really good at
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: super speedways. Him and Josevar came out this week and said, hey,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: don't vote for us for most popular driver. Instead, vote
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: for Kyle Busch. So in that case, you guys should
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: consider Chase Elliott for your player pool. No, if we're
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: considering Logano and Byron, of course you would consider Chase
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Elliott because, hey, he'll probably get a little bit more
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: ownership just because of his starting position and his name value,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: but he should be considered. Ryan Preece. is currently not
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: projected to get the ownership as those literally above him,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: meaning Elliott, Byron, and Logano. Need I remind you, Ryan
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Preece quite literally won Daytona not that long ago to
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: get into the playoffs. RFK is in turmoil right now, right?
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: So yeah, why wouldn't you play Ryan Preece in 19th?
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: If you're playing literally anybody above him, why wouldn't you
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: play Ryan Preece? Why wouldn't you play Ryan Preece above
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: those drivers? Okay. Like Logano, it has a true shot
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: for the championship. Ryan Preece is just trying to have
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: some positivity.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: So, hey, why not? Cole Custer and Josh Berry.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Sure. Cole Custer is in like an affiliated Hendrick car.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: It's just like a super slow affiliated Hendrick car. But
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: it's still faster and has a chance to win today.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, to Cole Custer. Josh Berry. Yep.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Wood Brothers know how to put together a super speedway car.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And by Wood Brothers, I mean Penske.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: So, yep. Brad Keselowski, he is.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Normally a automatic click when he starts in and around
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: this position. A lot of negativity. around Brad Kozlowski right now.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: So remember how I said there's a lot of positivity
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: around Joey Logano currently? Not the same can be said
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: for Mr. Kozlowski.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Not only is Mr.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Kozlowski negative, leaving Roush Fenway Kozlowski at the end of
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: the year, meaning he's getting rid of the team, his ownership.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: He unsuccessfully made an attempt to purchase the team. And
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: then it came out this week that him and his
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: wife are getting a divorce. So.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Should any of that play in your mind of playing
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: him today? That's not for me to say, but he
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: hasn't necessarily been setting the world on fire lately. He's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: starting in 22nd. So it's not like there's not copious
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: amounts of better place, differential place past him. And let's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: be honest, the man has a lot on his mind.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: So yeah, This could be a spot where you could
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: get different. I think he's projected. Yeah, he's projected currently
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: at 25% ownership. Maybe I'll have 10, right? Maybe I'll
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: have zero. I don't know.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: He's excellent at this style of racetrack.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: He obviously is looking for some kind of positivity, but
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the man has tough on his mind for sure.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Mike Mack and Ricky Stenhouse. Yeah, sure.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I wish they were starting deeper, but we play them
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: both good speedway drivers. Bubba Wallace and Josevar, yup. Bubba
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Wallace won here and also has a lot of controversy here.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Carson Josevar, he won here in the springtime in the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: very famous Ride of the Dente, the Intimidente scheme.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: He was in the.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: He hopped out of the car post-race for his post-race thing.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Hottest selling Lionel die-cast, I think, literally of all time.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I have my Elite pre-ordered that I plan on flipping.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. I saw that they early released the die-cast
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: in the trailer this weekend. You can get a different
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: couple versions of NASCAR die-cast now, and there's an Elite version,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: which is the best, and there's an ARC version, which
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: is just, I guess, the normal old die-cast. And they
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: released them in the trailer this weekend at Talladega for $ 120.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: They're selling on eBay for like 350 bucks right now. Like,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: you know, man, the buzz around Young Ho so far
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: is real. He's fast and he should be considered in
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: your player pool today. But this is another possible opportunity.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: He's getting a decent amount of ownership. And for good reason,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: like is obviously good here. but if he gets caught
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: up into a major accident, which can happen and you're
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: underweight on him and you're overweight on some of these
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: other possible plays that we're going to talk about, that's
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: your chance to get different. Ryan Blaney and Austin Sindrick,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: they are your cash game staples for today. Excellent super
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: speedway racers starting 27th and 28th. The only thing that
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: could be better would be if they're starting 37th and 38th, right?
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So They will be very popular today. But hey, Eric
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Jones and Ty Dillon, they aren't as popular, but they
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: should be. Are they known as excellent plate racers? No,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: that's not even plates anymore. Are they known as excellent
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: drafting racers?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: No. But can they win today? Can they get top
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: five today? Top 10 today? Yeah. Has Ty Dillon surprised
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: us at this style of racetrack before?
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So there's no reason they shouldn't be highly considered.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Same goes for Zane Smith and John Hunter Nemechek. I'm
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a John Hunter Nemechek hater. He's in play today, big
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: time as is Zane, Tyler Reddick and Casey Mears. Tyler
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Reddick is going to get tons of love today as
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: he should. 33 starting 33rd. That's fantastic.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Uh, Casey Mears, he's, he's in a shit box.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna lie.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Uh, But his shitbox is less shitbox than Greg Gaulding's shitbox.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So should he be in your player pool? Yeah. Should
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: you probably go over the moon on him?
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Probably not, just because I worry about quite literally the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: speed of said car. But he should have some, he
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: should absolutely be in your player pool and be considered.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Todd Gilliland. Yeah, he's going to get a lot of
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: love today starting 35th. He runs great at this style
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: of racetrack. Yeah, Todd Gilliland.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Daniel Dye, yeah, for sure.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: That Live Fast Motorsports has had some decent runs in
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the past. Daniel Dye, while he's a shithead, can get
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the job done today, right? So for sure, Daniel Dye
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: in 36. AJ Allmendinger, yeah, I love the dinger today.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Today's a dinger day. So 37th to the dinger. And look,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I don't normally go with like pairing drivers. But if
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you want to pair Dinger and Ty Dillon, who both
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: race for College Racing, you can almost guarantee that they're
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: going to pit together, right? They'll probably pit with, like,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: other Chevys who are in and around the field, right? So, like,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that could be also a way to get different. Not
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: to pause here before we talk about the final three,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: but if you want to pair Chevys together, because we
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: have seen, like, Chevys, Toyotas, and Fords work together, especially
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: in the early portions of this race. If you want
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: to pair some of those together to make yourself a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: little bit different, go for it. Go for it. Now,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: we have also seen that bite us already. Toyota did
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: that a couple years ago, and they all messed up
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: coming out of the pits, right?
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: They all wrecked.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: But that is a way to make yourself different. Should
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: you go all in on that process? No.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: But should you consider it just to make yourself different? Absolutely.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Because that's the kind of slate this is. That's the
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: kind of slate this is.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Like, if you went Blaney, Sindrick, Smith, Gilliland, they're all forwards,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: and they're all in the appropriate playing positions, right? So, like,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: that's feasible. You could go Dinger, Dillon, Hosovar, McDowell, Stenhouse, right?
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: You could go Jones, Nemechek, Redick, Wallace, Those are feasible
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: combinations today. Not to mention salary. I probably should have
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: said this at the beginning. Salary is quite literally of
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: zero importance.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Zero. Zero.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Does not matter. You can spend all your money. You
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: can spend like $ 38, 500.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: It's that kind of craziness day to day. It really is.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Anyway, enough of loving on the dinger. Joey Gase, yeah,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: he's in play today. Is he my favorite play? Absolutely not.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: That car is slow as balls, but he's in play today.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Noah Gregson, yeah, you're in play today, bud. You start 39th.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: You're going to be a lot of people's first clicks.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: And then Ray Gaulding and starting in 40th. Look, he
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: should be in your player pool, but that car was
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: like super slow. Like Noah was slow and qualifying, but
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I know, I know that car isn't.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Like that slow. like in the draft, right?
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Like, Gaulding, like, yeah, he's starting in the best position
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: for us, but still slow.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: So, like, can he keep up to the draft slow?
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: But on the flip side, if a major accident happens
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and he's planning to run the whole race and he's
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: so slow that he makes it past, that could be
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: enough PD to make the difference, right?
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: It's that kind of slate today.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: So anyway, we're going to go ahead and wrap it
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: up because I want to play with the puppy upstairs.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: The puppy meeting the three-year-old puppy, our new three-year-old adopted puppy.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So thank you once again for tuning in to another
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: episode of the Ship It Nation Quick Hit here at
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Ford NASCAR this weekend. Any questions, please feel free to
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: reach out to me on Discord. As of now, there
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: are no drivers to the rear. And to be honest,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: I'll still announce it. It really doesn't matter because they
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: start from their starting positions and we're only focused on
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: stacking the back anyway. And if they start like in
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: the top 15, top 20, and they go to the rear,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: you still play them because you'd play them anyway. And
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: if they start up front and they go to the rear,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: you're not going to change it because you're still going
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to be scored as starting from the upfront. So. Kind
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: of doesn't matter today what happens. We kind of know
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: what we got. But, hey, I'll still let you know anyway.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: So good luck in all your slates today. I will
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: be in the I'll be working the basketball and hockey
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: streets today. Is there hockey? There's probably hockey today. I
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: was told this. I just forget. I know basketball is happening, though.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: And I'll be playing, of course, NASCAR and some football.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I'm in the what did I reserve?
