- 3:01Speaker 2: your one-stop shop for all things DFS. Now, let's go
- 3:07Speaker 2: ahead and head back to our NASCAR slate, which is
- 3:11Speaker 2: the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Raceway. Normally,
- 3:15Speaker 2: I have a spiel wrote down so I don't miss
- 3:18Speaker 2: my bullet points, like how many dominators we should play,
- 3:22Speaker 2: how many laps there are, things like that. Folks, this
- 3:26Speaker 2: is Daytona International Speedway. It is the last race of
- 3:31Speaker 2: the regular season, the final chance for the bubble driver's
- 3:36Speaker 2: which there's only like two or three really.
- 3:38Speaker 1: To make their way into the chase.
- 3:42Speaker 2: And it is a super speedway, which means traditional dominators
- 3:47Speaker 2: will not come into play because fast laps will absolutely
- 3:53Speaker 2: be spread around the field. We really can't nail down
- 3:57Speaker 2: a lap leader and place differential is king. on these
- 4:03Speaker 2: Super Speedway slates, which we'll be going over through here
- 4:07Speaker 2: in just a second. There was no practice at all
- 4:13Speaker 2: on Friday night for the NASCAR Cup Series. A reminder,
- 4:16Speaker 2: this is a Saturday night race, so I'm recording this
- 4:20Speaker 2: on Friday. So Saturday night race instead of the normal Sunday.
- 4:23Speaker 2: One second, I have to cough. And we're back. saturday
- 4:31Speaker 2: night race instead of sunday normal sunday uh for super
- 4:37Speaker 2: speedway races there are and there is no practice they
- 4:41Speaker 2: do not practice at all for these super speedways that
- 4:45Speaker 2: means they don't practice for talladega they don't practice for
- 4:49Speaker 2: daytona and they don't practice for atlanta now you will
- 4:53Speaker 2: say eric They do practice at the beginning of the
- 4:55Speaker 2: year for the Daytona 500. Yes, because that's an entire off-season.
- 5:00Speaker 2: And they do have practice for the Daytona 500. But
- 5:03Speaker 2: other than that super speedway track, they do not race any...
- 5:08Speaker 2: Or they do not practice at any other super speedway track. Now,
- 5:14Speaker 2: what is our DFS strategy? Well, place differential is king.
- 5:19Speaker 2: And I like to truly... treat these super speedway slates
- 5:24Speaker 2: like a well-educated lottery because of course everybody will be
- 5:31Speaker 2: stacking the back lots of youtube videos if you look
- 5:35Speaker 2: at any other nascar dfs content the majority of folks
- 5:40Speaker 2: will be talking about stacking the back and only focusing
- 5:43Speaker 2: on place differential plays and let me tell you they're
- 5:47Speaker 2: not wrong because the big one can happen at any
- 5:52Speaker 2: single time at these racetracks.
- 5:54Speaker 1: What's the big one?
- 5:56Speaker 2: The big one is a major accident, which is, which gets, uh, five, 10, 15,
- 6:02Speaker 2: 20 cars caught up in it all at once. And
- 6:06Speaker 2: that is very likely to happen on Saturday night. Why
- 6:10Speaker 2: is that likely to happen on Saturday night? Well, a,
- 6:14Speaker 2: there'll be pack racing. Uh, this is super speedway racing.
- 6:18Speaker 2: They will be balls to the wall, bumper to bumper
- 6:21Speaker 2: for the entire night. One little mess up by anybody
- 6:27Speaker 2: can quite literally cause an instant chain reaction of accidents
- 6:31Speaker 2: throughout the entire field. Tomorrow morning, like I do normally
- 6:35Speaker 2: on these super speedway races, I'll send a couple big
- 6:39Speaker 2: one videos in the Discord so people can truly see,
- 6:43Speaker 2: if they're not familiar with NASCAR races, what these major
- 6:47Speaker 2: accidents at these super speedways can be like. So my
- 6:51Speaker 2: opinion is, yes, stack the back, but be educated about
- 6:55Speaker 2: stacking the back. Do we have some crazy heavily owned
- 7:01Speaker 2: place differential plays? We absolutely do. Should you play them?
- 7:06Speaker 2: You absolutely should. Should you play them as high as
- 7:10Speaker 2: they're possibly owned? That's entirely up to you because big
- 7:14Speaker 2: ones don't discriminate. A Christopher Bell or a Denny Hamlin,
- 7:19Speaker 2: can get caught up in a major accident just as
- 7:22Speaker 2: quickly as an A.J. Allmendinger, a Noah Gregson, a Casey Mears, right?
- 7:27Speaker 2: So major accidents do not discriminate at these tracks, do
- 7:33Speaker 2: not discriminate against your player pool.
- 7:35Speaker 1: All right, does that make sense? I think it should.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Now let's go ahead and do a quick driver-by-driver lineup.
- 7:43Speaker 2: I'm not, as you'll see on the screen here, I'm
- 7:46Speaker 2: showing off the Stone 2.0 lineup. For these super speedway slates,
- 7:50Speaker 2: I hate to say projections don't matter. They kind of
- 7:54Speaker 2: don't matter. As long as you build your player pool
- 7:58Speaker 2: smartly and correctly, projections really shouldn't come into play because
- 8:02Speaker 2: you really want to jack up the randomness, the volatility,
- 8:11Speaker 2: things like that on your optimizer of choosing. So projections
- 8:16Speaker 2: really don't come into play. What we really want to
- 8:18Speaker 2: focus on tonight and throughout this slate on the weekend
- 8:22Speaker 2: is the ownership because that's going to be the big key.
- 8:25Speaker 2: So starting on the front row is Ross Chastain and
- 8:29Speaker 2: Chris Buescher. They currently have projected ownership of 1% and 2%.
- 8:37Speaker 2: So normally your pole sitter, especially when it's a high-profile name,
- 8:43Speaker 2: is over 30%, 40%, right? Because clean air is king
- 8:46Speaker 2: in these next-gen cars. First and second combine, what, a
- 8:50Speaker 2: little over 3% ownership? That's how different these lates are. So,
- 8:54Speaker 2: Ross Chastain and Chris Buescher. Buescher, fantastic, fantastic super speedway racer.
- 9:01Speaker 2: If you want to take bets on him possibly winning
- 9:04Speaker 2: the race, great. If you want to take a bet
- 9:07Speaker 2: on him maybe for a stage position, great. Not the
- 9:13Speaker 2: greatest DFS play. Row two, Austin Hill and Ryan Priest
- 9:17Speaker 2: starting third and fourth. Austin Hill is a fantastic super
- 9:21Speaker 2: speedway racer in the NASCAR O'Reilly series. He's a god there.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Will that translate over to Cup? I don't know. Different car,
- 9:33Speaker 2: much different car, but he's starting third. There is no
- 9:36Speaker 2: reason why he can't keep that Chevy out front the
- 9:40Speaker 2: majority of the race on Saturday night. That remains to
- 9:43Speaker 2: be seen. Ryan Preece, I was really hoping he would
- 9:48Speaker 2: qualify in the back because he is the bubble driver
- 9:54Speaker 2: right now. Shane Van Gisbergen is 16th in the championship points,
- 9:59Speaker 2: which makes him currently the last car locked into the chase.
- 10:04Speaker 2: He is 31 points above the cut line, and Ryan
- 10:07Speaker 2: Preece is 31 points behind the cut line. Ryan Preece
- 10:13Speaker 2: and Brad Keselowski, though Ryan Preece a lot by a
- 10:15Speaker 2: lot more.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Is mathematically....
- 10:21Speaker 2: Capable of making it into the chase, assuming Shane Van
- 10:26Speaker 2: Gisbergen has a crappy day. However, Shane Van Gisbergen is
- 10:32Speaker 2: the one who's 31 points to the good and Priest
- 10:34Speaker 2: is 31 points to the bad. So Priest needs to
- 10:38Speaker 2: be on the point. He needs to lead laps. He
- 10:41Speaker 2: needs to win stages and get stage points. He needs
- 10:44Speaker 2: to try to win this race. If he was starting
- 10:47Speaker 2: in the back, you damn sure he would have been
- 10:50Speaker 2: almost a lock button for me because he needs to
- 10:54Speaker 2: be an aggressive driver on Saturday. These other drivers, they
- 10:58Speaker 2: don't need to do it. He does, right? If he
- 11:02Speaker 2: wants to make it into the playoffs, he does. It
- 11:05Speaker 2: just sucks he starts fourth. So for DFS purposes, I
- 11:09Speaker 2: don't love it. If you want to, maybe in 150,
- 11:13Speaker 2: if you're looking for a dominator, I don't recommend it,
- 11:17Speaker 2: but I can maybe kind of see it if you're
- 11:20Speaker 2: 150 max and you want to get really wild with,
- 11:22Speaker 2: you know, a solo lap leader. Him or Keselowski should
- 11:26Speaker 2: be the ones trying to lead the majority of these
- 11:28Speaker 2: laps on Saturday night. But for majority of us, for
- 11:32Speaker 2: DFS purposes, we are clicking off of Ryan Preece. Next up,
- 11:36Speaker 2: we have Riley Herbst and Shane Van Gisbergen. Riley Herbst, again,
- 11:42Speaker 2: not much to say. Shane Van Gisbergen, he's on the bubble.
- 11:46Speaker 2: He needs to just have a solid day. He doesn't
- 11:49Speaker 2: need to get caught up in any BS. He doesn't
- 11:52Speaker 2: need to get into any accidents. He doesn't need to
- 11:55Speaker 2: speed on pit road. He just needs to make it
- 11:58Speaker 2: through the day. Be very, very interesting to see how
- 12:04Speaker 2: that goes down. Next up, Connor Zilich and Austin Sindrick.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Zilich is the no good, terrible, horrible season. Sindrick is
- 12:11Speaker 2: one of the best drafters in the next gen era.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Love Sindrick. I would expect to see him up near
- 12:18Speaker 2: the front. I just wish he was starting in the
- 12:21Speaker 2: back for us. Joey Logano and Larson's up next. Logano
- 12:25Speaker 2: has been on an absolute heater lately. Him alongside of
- 12:30Speaker 2: all of his team Penske brethren are fantastic super speedway racers.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Would not be surprised to see him link up with
- 12:37Speaker 2: Sindrick and Byron at some point on the day on Sunday.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Larson is trending upwards, is still looking for his, uh,
- 12:45Speaker 2: I believe he's looking for his first super speedway victory yet.
- 12:48Speaker 2: He's looking for his first victory in a very long time.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Would be quite interesting if Young Money goes to victory
- 12:54Speaker 2: lane on Saturday night. A pair of Toyotas up next
- 12:57Speaker 2: with Corey Heim and Chase Briscoe. Heim time has won
- 13:00Speaker 2: twice already this season. Briscoe, sure, fantastic. He's an every
- 13:06Speaker 2: weekend type of play. I just wish they were starting
- 13:09Speaker 2: further back again. you'll see by the projected ownership where
- 13:14Speaker 2: most people start building their player pools. Next up, we
- 13:17Speaker 2: have William Byron and Ty Gibbs, both very capable of winning.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Ty Gibbs plus 3,000 on the books, which I think
- 13:25Speaker 2: is kind of high for a driver and team of
- 13:27Speaker 2: his caliber. Next up, we have Eric Jones and Cole Custer. Yuck,
- 13:33Speaker 2: meaning Cole Custer. If Cole Custer was starting in the back, yeah,
- 13:35Speaker 2: for sure. Cole Custer in 16th, no. 17th, we have
- 13:40Speaker 2: Tyler Reddick and Michael McDowell. Majority of people will probably
- 13:45Speaker 2: look at Tyler Reddick as the start of their player pool.
- 13:49Speaker 2: He won the Daytona 500. He won how many races
- 13:52Speaker 2: in a row to start the season? Currently second in
- 13:55Speaker 2: championship points. We know those cars are fast. Currently projected
- 14:00Speaker 2: at 14% ownership. He will be the first driver people
- 14:04Speaker 2: seriously look at and think, Should I start my player
- 14:07Speaker 2: pool with Red Dog?
- 14:08Speaker 1: Yes or no.
- 14:10Speaker 2: Should you start your player pool with Red Dog? I
- 14:12Speaker 2: think he's a problem. I don't want to say he's
- 14:15Speaker 2: a safe fade, but he is starting towards the front
- 14:20Speaker 2: of the field, and we really want to prefer people
- 14:24Speaker 2: back in the field.
- 14:25Speaker 1: So I don't hate it because he is 17th.
- 14:29Speaker 2: There is some PD upside, but he has more spots
- 14:32Speaker 2: to lose than he has to gain. Michael McDowell in 18th. Look,
- 14:36Speaker 2: he's only projected 7% ownership. If you're considering playing Redick
- 14:41Speaker 2: at 17th, then there's no reason why you shouldn't consider
- 14:44Speaker 2: playing McDowell in 18th.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Right? These are the decisions.
- 14:52Speaker 2: You'll see some of these ownerships here, and then this
- 14:57Speaker 2: kind of decision is what makes or breaks you in
- 14:58Speaker 2: super speedway slates. Redick, 17th position, currently projected at 14% ownership.
- 15:03Speaker 2: McDowell 18th can gain you one more spot of pd
- 15:10Speaker 2: projected seventh has toyota been a little bit better in
- 15:14Speaker 2: chevy this year absolutely does that matter at daytona absolutely
- 15:18Speaker 2: not so you know like there's no reason not to
- 15:23Speaker 2: there's no reason to play reddick over mcdowell for any
- 15:26Speaker 2: performance reasons it's just it's daytona right so it's that
- 15:31Speaker 2: kind of decision where it's like okay why wouldn't i
- 15:33Speaker 2: play McDowell in that situation.
- 15:35Speaker 1: If I'm playing Redick, of course I'd play McDowell.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Brian Blaney and Alex Bowman are up next. Blaney alongside
- 15:44Speaker 2: of his team Penske brethren. Fantastic at super speedways.
- 15:47Speaker 1: One second.
- 15:52Speaker 2: I forgot a cup of water down here, so I'm
- 15:55Speaker 2: like struggling. Sorry about that, guys. Ryan Blaney and Alex Bowman.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Blaney fantastic at super speedways alongside of his team Penske.
- 16:04Speaker 1: Projected ownership, 26%.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Here you'll see the ownership number starting to grow. Blaney,
- 16:14Speaker 2: fantastic at these super speedways. Wish he was starting a
- 16:17Speaker 2: bit deeper for us, but good PD upside. Bowman has
- 16:21Speaker 2: had some decent runs. I still don't love the play, really.
- 16:27Speaker 2: He's always probably my least favorite Chevy, just because he
- 16:30Speaker 2: is such a lame duck, but He is starting 20th,
- 16:33Speaker 2: so he should be in the pool. Brad K and
- 16:36Speaker 2: Chase Elliott. Brad K is also on the cut line.
- 16:39Speaker 2: I believe he's 66 points behind. So he needs like
- 16:44Speaker 2: the like if Ryan Priest needs a very strong, aggressive
- 16:49Speaker 2: stage point winning kind of day. Brad Keselowski needs it
- 16:53Speaker 2: doubly as bad as as Ryan Priest does.
- 16:58Speaker 1: So I like Keselowski on Saturday.
- 17:02Speaker 2: I wish he was starting deeper back, but currently projected
- 17:06Speaker 2: 22% ownership, B-plus for Daytona. I know Bad Brad has
- 17:13Speaker 2: not been the best for us this season, but Daytona, Talladega,
- 17:18Speaker 2: they're equalizers, man. Like, you have to remove all those
- 17:22Speaker 2: negative thoughts out of your mind from the rest of
- 17:24Speaker 2: the season because all these boys can put the hammer
- 17:27Speaker 2: down and turn left, so. Bad Brad, yep, and he
- 17:31Speaker 2: has something to race for. Chase Elliott and Daniel Suarez
- 17:34Speaker 2: in 22nd and 23rd. Chase Elliott, fantastic speedway racer. No
- 17:39Speaker 2: problem taking a chance on him. Suarez currently projected at
- 17:43Speaker 2: only 12.49 ownership.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Now, these are initial numbers.
- 17:47Speaker 2: These will probably change in the morning when I sit
- 17:50Speaker 2: down to finalize everything. If that number stays, I think
- 17:56Speaker 2: that's a glaring spot to attack right there. If you're
- 18:00Speaker 2: playing Blaney, Keselowski, Elliott, why would you not play Suarez?
- 18:05Speaker 2: Suarez has done well on speedways before. He's done well
- 18:11Speaker 2: at Atlanta, meaning he's won at Atlanta. Spires basically like
- 18:17Speaker 2: Hendrick Light, right? So why he's only getting potentially 12.4
- 18:25Speaker 2: when he's just as good as any of his plays
- 18:27Speaker 2: above him?
- 18:29Speaker 1: I don't know. Josh Berry in 24th.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Wood Brothers Racing, $ 7, 100 in DraftKings. Not the greatest super
- 18:38Speaker 2: speedway runner, in my opinion, but he knows how to
- 18:42Speaker 2: stay out of trouble. He's kind of ho-hum. So if
- 18:45Speaker 2: there's tons of attrition, you could see him up towards
- 18:48Speaker 2: the front of the field. He is a lame duck driver,
- 18:51Speaker 2: still looking for a ride next year. No problem taking
- 18:54Speaker 2: a chance on Josh Berry.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Cody Ware, 25th.
- 18:59Speaker 2: He is normally a click you would always just click
- 19:02Speaker 2: off of and then go along your merry way.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Not today. Cody Ware should be in consideration.
- 19:09Speaker 2: We have seen him score pretty decently on super speedways
- 19:13Speaker 2: in the past. Anything can happen with attrition. And he
- 19:18Speaker 2: qualified 25th. So obviously the car has some speed.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Right. The qualifying did happen. So, yeah.
- 19:25Speaker 2: No issues in taking a shot on Cody Ware. Only 3.42% ownership.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Crazy.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Bubba Wallace in 26th and John Hunter Nemechek in 27th. Bubba,
- 19:37Speaker 2: fantastic road racer. Not road racer, plate, super speedway racer.
- 19:43Speaker 2: No issues taking a chance on Bubba. John Hunter, no
- 19:46Speaker 2: issues taking a chance on John Hunter. He's only 10%
- 19:48Speaker 2: projected ownership. compared to Bubba's 35% ownership.
- 19:54Speaker 1: Both are in Toyotas.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Now, Bubba's in a 23xi Toyota compared to John Hunter's
- 19:59Speaker 2: legacy Toyota, both Toyota. So, 35% ownership for Bubba, 10%
- 20:04Speaker 2: for John Hunter.
- 20:11Speaker 1: Add more John Hunter.
- 20:12Speaker 2: He can score just as many points as Bubba can
- 20:15Speaker 2: due to the volatility. Third time's a charm, baby, of
- 20:20Speaker 2: this race. Carson Hosovar and Austin Dillon on the 28th, 29th.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Hosovar won a very popular win earlier in the season
- 20:29Speaker 2: at Talladega, so we know he can get the job
- 20:32Speaker 2: done on super speedways. Austin Dillon, we've seen him do
- 20:37Speaker 2: well in super speedways, and we've also seen him wreck
- 20:40Speaker 2: violently super speedways either of these drivers can absolutely get
- 20:45Speaker 2: the job done then they should be in your player
- 20:47Speaker 2: pool Denny Hamlin and Ty Dillon up next Denny obviously
- 20:51Speaker 2: points leader one of the fastest cars every season fantastic
- 20:57Speaker 2: at seems like he's more of a Daytona 500 guy
- 21:01Speaker 2: and not really a like Coke 400 guy and I
- 21:04Speaker 2: think that's kind of because he's normally always like locked
- 21:09Speaker 2: in doesn't need to stick his neck out of the
- 21:10Speaker 2: line On this race versus the start of the season
- 21:14Speaker 2: for the Daytona 500. But still, no problem taking a
- 21:16Speaker 2: shot on Denny. No problem taking a shot on Ty.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Ty's only 11% ownership. Yeah, the Earnhardt, Ganassi, or the
- 21:26Speaker 2: ECR engines haven't been the greatest. But still, it's Daytona.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Hammer down, put the foot down, turn left, and avoid
- 21:40Speaker 2: the accidents. No issue and no reason not to play
- 21:44Speaker 2: Ty Dillon. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Todd Gittleland. Ricky Stenhouse,
- 21:49Speaker 2: we have seen him win before. A past Daytona 500 winner.
- 21:54Speaker 2: He seems, like if you look at his recent form F,
- 21:59Speaker 2: his track rank and track type rank don't look the greatest.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Trust me, he is excellent at these style of race tracks.
- 22:06Speaker 2: You don't normally see him priced at $ 8, 100 today. 32%
- 22:11Speaker 2: projected current ownership. Ricky Stenhouse will be a very popular
- 22:15Speaker 2: play on Saturday. It normally seems to be checkers or
- 22:19Speaker 2: wreckers for Ricky Stenhouse. He's normally like up there battling
- 22:23Speaker 2: for like a last lap, last turn win, or he's
- 22:27Speaker 2: in a violent accident like three quarters of the way through.
- 22:30Speaker 2: So it'll be fun to see what happens to Ricky.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Todd Gilliland and Zane Smith, the front row team. I
- 22:37Speaker 2: love pairing these two together. In fact, hey, look at
- 22:43Speaker 2: me cursing. Throw Noah in there as well. You have
- 22:47Speaker 2: Todd Gilliland 31st. You have Zane Smith in 34th. You
- 22:51Speaker 2: have Noah Gregson in 37th. All teammates for front row.
- 22:55Speaker 2: You have to assume they will stick together throughout the night,
- 22:58Speaker 2: meaning they will pit together, draft together, et cetera, et cetera.
- 23:02Speaker 2: If everything goes well and they hit the strategy right,
- 23:06Speaker 2: there's no reason why these three can't work their way
- 23:08Speaker 2: through the field. while working with other Fords, et cetera,
- 23:14Speaker 2: especially since, uh, priest and Keselowski RFK Fords have to
- 23:19Speaker 2: work and have to be strong and have great days.
- 23:22Speaker 2: So I can see, I can see the Ford of
- 23:25Speaker 2: trying to really dominate stage one, stage two, and the
- 23:28Speaker 2: opening parts of stage three of this race.
- 23:30Speaker 1: So, uh, I don't normally.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Recommend, and I'm not really saying I recommend it here now,
- 23:36Speaker 2: but if you would want to look to get different
- 23:39Speaker 2: and you want to group some teams together, Crown Rail
- 23:41Speaker 2: Motorsports is perfect for it because, like I said, Gilley's 33rd,
- 23:45Speaker 2: Zane Smith's 34th, Noah Gregson's 37th. No problems there. Christopher
- 23:50Speaker 2: Bell and A.J. Allmendinger in 35th and 36th. Bell, I think,
- 23:54Speaker 2: is our currently highest projected. Yeah, he's currently the highest
- 23:59Speaker 2: projected ownership guy. And that's simply because he's a big
- 24:03Speaker 2: name and he's starting near the back. That's all that is.
- 24:06Speaker 2: If you would put Denny Hamlin in the spot, it
- 24:09Speaker 2: would be Denny. If you put Ryan Blaney in this spot,
- 24:12Speaker 2: it would be Blaney. If you put Chase Elliott in
- 24:14Speaker 2: this spot, it would be Chase Elliott. If you put
- 24:16Speaker 2: William Byron in this spot, you get the picture, right?
- 24:19Speaker 2: Big name, top tier team, starting deep in the field.
- 24:24Speaker 2: He will be getting a ton of ownership there. A
- 24:27Speaker 2: fantastic way to get different is to just be different
- 24:31Speaker 2: with him. He's currently projected at 52% ownership. Do you
- 24:35Speaker 2: think he is going to smash? Do you think he
- 24:39Speaker 2: will win the race, do you think he will do
- 24:41Speaker 2: everything in his power to get you a top five?
- 24:44Speaker 2: Then go overweight. He's in 35th pace. He has nowhere
- 24:49Speaker 2: to go, and we're chasing place differential. If you think
- 24:52Speaker 2: he's going to do it, go overweight. If you think
- 24:55Speaker 2: this is a place to, you know, the big one
- 24:57Speaker 2: might happen, and who's to say Christopher Bell isn't in
- 25:00Speaker 2: that big one, then go underweight. Instead of going 52,
- 25:04Speaker 2: go 25, and go heavier than other drivers in and
- 25:07Speaker 2: around that area. Give Noah more. Give Dinger more. Give
- 25:12Speaker 2: Zane more. Spread that ownership around. Is C-Bell worth that
- 25:17Speaker 2: 52% ownership?
- 25:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 25:19Speaker 2: He's a fantastic race car driver and a great team.
- 25:23Speaker 2: But this is Super Speedway and those major accidents do
- 25:26Speaker 2: not discriminate. So, there's a chance to get different right there. And,
- 25:32Speaker 2: you know, most players will click on that name because
- 25:36Speaker 2: he's a big name. And he's great, yes, for sure.
- 25:38Speaker 2: But Accidents can happen to anybody.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Uh, AJ Allmendinger. Sure.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Uh, normally we're, we've been fading him a lot of
- 25:47Speaker 2: the season so far. He has surprised us with a
- 25:50Speaker 2: few good runs. Love me some Dinger on Saturday night.
- 25:54Speaker 2: We always spoke about Noah and then we have our
- 25:56Speaker 2: last three here. Casey Mears, Daniel Guy, and Joey Gase. Look, uh, these, these,
- 26:04Speaker 2: these three are getting, um, not getting a lot of ownership.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Eight projected, initially projected for 8% for Casey, 7% for Daniel,
- 26:16Speaker 2: and 7% for Joey Gase. These three cars, they're the
- 26:22Speaker 2: shit boxes, okay? Like, there's no.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Really offensive way or really any other way to say it.
- 26:29Speaker 1: They're trash. Like, trash, trash.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Of the three... I guess really of the three, give
- 26:41Speaker 2: me Casey Mears or Daniel Dye over Joey Gase.
- 26:45Speaker 1: Just because of.
- 26:47Speaker 2: The three, we've seen that New York racing car be
- 26:49Speaker 2: like way bad, way bad compared to Casey.
- 26:54Speaker 1: No, don't get me wrong.
- 26:56Speaker 2: The Beard Motorsports car and the Live Fast Motorsports car
- 26:59Speaker 2: aren't exactly setting the world on fire. But like the
- 27:02Speaker 2: New York racing car we've seen like really be crappy.
- 27:07Speaker 2: So I'd probably go with Casey Mears and Daniel Dye
- 27:11Speaker 2: over Joey Gase, but really the three of these drivers
- 27:14Speaker 2: do deserve some play because if there is high attrition,
- 27:18Speaker 2: if there's a big one and they're in the back
- 27:21Speaker 2: and there's a big one that swallows up 15, 20 cars,
- 27:27Speaker 2: they can gain 15, 20 PD spots like nothing just
- 27:30Speaker 2: by being slow.
- 27:31Speaker 1: So that's why you keep them in your player pool.
- 27:35Speaker 1: All right.
- 27:35Speaker 2: Hey, that is enough for me this evening. Still made
- 27:38Speaker 2: it 27, 28 minutes without any practice to talk about.
- 27:41Speaker 2: And mostly just going off the top of my head.
- 27:43Speaker 2: So we'll take that for the evening. As always, if
- 27:46Speaker 2: you have any questions concerning this slate, please feel free
- 27:48Speaker 2: to reach out to me on Discord.
- 27:51Speaker 1: And as always, let's ship it.
