  happy race day, and welcome to our second quick hit here for ship

• 1:49
  Okay, code DGEN fifteen, fifteen percent off any membership plan. All right,
• 1:59
  let's go ahead and break down today's race once again. Today's race is
• 2:05
  the and Better four hundred from the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Here's what we need
• 2:10
  to know as far as the race goes. The distance of the Atlanta Motor
• 2:15
  Speedway is one and a half miles long, two hundred and sixty laps.
• 2:22
  Of course, the race is broken into three stages. Stage one is sixty
• 2:28
  laps and then Stage two and Stage three are both one hundred laps. The
• 2:32
  race begins at three o'clock, and of course you can find coverage of the
• 2:38
  race on Fox and for our good friends in Canada on TS and five.
• 2:47
  All right, let's go ahead and begin our breakdown of today's slate. And
• 2:54
  first, let's go ahead, much like we're the DJN, we're gonna break
• 3:00
  down the weather. If you paid attention to the Daytona five hundred last week,
• 3:08
  you will know that NASCAR called the race early due to not called the
• 3:14
  race early, but rather postpone the race early on Sunday due terrain and moved
• 3:21
  it to Monday afternoon. Well, thankfully, that is not something we have
• 3:25
  to worry about tomorrow in Atlanta. Looking at racetime tomorrow at three o'clock,
• 3:32
  we have sixty two degrees with zero percent chance of precipitation, So no weather
• 3:38
  for us to worry about tomorrow. So make sure you get your contest reserved
• 3:46
  early and your entries in before longtime. All right, let's go ahead and
• 3:52
  pull up an edited version of our NASCAR stone for this week, Ambtter Health
• 4:00
  four hundred. Last week we showed you a complete stone on the stream.
• 4:06
  This week we are not showing off a completed stone. As you see,
• 4:11
  we do not have ownership or projections included on this stone. First thing for
• 4:16
  this week is I want to discuss today's qualifying for the Amber Or four hundred.
• 4:23
  The front row consists of Michael McDowell who is in a Ford, and
• 4:30
  Joey Logano who is also in a Ford, and in row two it kicks
• 4:38
  rather, Row two brings us Austin Sindric he starts fourth, and Todd Gilliland,
• 4:46
  who starts third. Why did I want to mention those drivers? Well.
• 4:54
  In twenty twenty one, the Atlanta Motor Speedway was reconfigured into a super
• 5:01
  speedway ish style racetrack. Okay, so it's still a mile and a half,
• 5:09
  but they changed the banking of the racetrack. And at the same time
• 5:14
  they did that, NASCAR introduced the next gen car and changed the super speedway
• 5:19
  package that the cars use when racing. So this all culminated into Atlanta becoming
• 5:27
  a super speedway style race, where at one time we focused on essentially stacking
• 5:35
  the back and really focusing on place differential. However, as the years have
• 5:43
  progressed, weather and just time has taken a toll on the surface and Atlanta
• 5:49
  is racing more like a traditional mile and a half racetrack rather than a super
• 5:57
  speedway, so much so that in the last In two of the last four
• 6:04
  races, the pole sitter has not only led the most laps, but has
• 6:13
  also been in the Draft Kings Optimal Okay. So in the where's my notes
• 6:20
  here, Joey Logano in the spring of twenty twenty three race here at Atlanta
• 6:28
  started on the pole and led one hundred and forty laps, and in the
• 6:33
  fall of twenty twenty two, Chase Elliott started on the pole led ninety six
• 6:40
  laps. Both of those drivers won their respective races and both ended up in
• 6:46
  the DraftKings Optimal Okay. The fall twenty twenty three race, or rather the
• 6:54
  summer twenty twenty three race, had Eric Almarola leading I believe forty some laps
• 7:02
  and was probably on his way to being in the Optimal and winning that race.
• 7:08
  However, it was shortened by rain. Okay, so that is an
• 7:13
  outlier there. So for this race, I am absolutely going to focus on
• 7:20
  starting drivers in the first two rows because the trend of the leader staying up
• 7:29
  front continued today the Infinity race for today, just finish and Jesse Love,
• 7:35
  who started on the poll, was on his way to a dominant victory.
• 7:42
  He led easily more than eighty laps, which was over half of the lapse
• 7:47
  and the only reason why he lost is because he ran out of gas with
• 7:54
  like two laps to go after an incredibly late caution. He ran out of
• 7:58
  gas. And a few other drivers okay, so dominators are definitely in play
• 8:05
  this week, and I think it would be very advantageous, advantageous to play
• 8:11
  at least one of Joey Logano, Michael McDowell, Austin Sindrick or Todd Killaland
• 8:22
  Okay, one more driver who's starting up front who I wanted to focus on
• 8:28
  quickly is Ryan Blaney. You'll see a trend that Penske Racing has three of
• 8:35
  the top ten. They have all three of their drivers in the top ten,
• 8:37
  with Logano starting second, Sindrick starting fourth, and Blaney starting seventh.
• 8:45
  As discussed last week, Blaney is excellent at super speedway tracks and has very
• 8:52
  good history here at Atlanta. I am including him in my little group of
• 9:00
  dominators and will make sure to have at least one of him rather have one
• 9:05
  of the dominators in each of my lineups. Okay, next, I want
• 9:13
  to focus on some place differential place, and what I'm going to do here
• 9:18
  to make it easy for me is I'm going to sort my qualifying position here
• 9:24
  just from a Z, and the first play I'm going to focus on will
• 9:30
  probably be the donkey chalk of today's race is good old NASCAR, popular baby
• 9:39
  boy himself, Chase Elliott, who's starting twenty eighth. Not a great qualifying
• 9:48
  effort from old Chase Elliott. However, he is very good here in Atlanta.
• 9:58
  Like I mentioned earlier, he did ninety six laps here just at the
• 10:01
  fall of twenty twenty two in a very dominant performance. He is starting,
• 10:09
  like I said, twenty eighth, and he is in a very good Hendrick
• 10:15
  Motorsports Chevy. I do expect him to work his way up the field and
• 10:22
  gather us many place differential points and potentially could tend for a win. Like
• 10:31
  I said, today's race, Infinity race really was follow the leader. I
• 10:37
  do expect Chase to get up there. I don't know if he'll be able
• 10:41
  to win from twenty eighth, but he'll definitely be able to make his way
• 10:45
  towards the front of the back. Two more drivers that I want to cover
• 10:50
  who are starting near the rear, and probably another Chalky play This week is
• 10:56
  going to be Eric Jones, who is starting dead laps at thirty seventh,
• 11:01
  much like last week, who I'm now forgetting it was David Reagan. David
• 11:07
  Reagan started last last week, and I mentioned that he cannot lose you any
• 11:13
  praise place differentip points. Well, Eric Jones is the same exact thing.
• 11:18
  Okay, Eric Jones almost lost control of his car during his qualifying run,
• 11:26
  and that's why he has such a poor qualifying effort. He is in a
• 11:31
  Legacy Motorsports Toyota. He is in very capable equipment. He is an incredibly
• 11:39
  talented race car driver. If you I'll share. I don't think anybody shared
• 11:46
  his near accident from qualifying today in the discord, but I will do that
• 11:52
  he did a heck of a job saving that car from getting into the wall.
• 11:58
  So he's still his arts thirty seventh. He is dead last. I
• 12:03
  do expect him as well to work his way up the field. And one
• 12:09
  more driver here from the back that I want to focus on is Corey la
• 12:13
  Joy. He's starting thirty second. He damn near won this race two years
• 12:20
  ago or uh yeah, two years ago twenty twenty two. He was leading
• 12:24
  towards the end of the race and NASCAR most popular driver Chase Elliott essentially booted
• 12:33
  him, I shouldn't say booted him, scooched him out of the way,
• 12:41
  and he won the race and Corey finished somewhere in the back. A trend
• 12:48
  with Corey la Joy is he's good at drafting tracks, which a lot of
• 12:54
  people consider this to be a drafting track. He is starting thirty second.
• 13:01
  He is in Tier B equipment Spyro Motorsports. Yes they are improving, but
• 13:07
  they aren't as good as like the Hendricks or the track houses or anything like
• 13:11
  that. But I would consider Atlanta to be Cory's best track. And at
• 13:20
  sixty eight hundred for a place differential, you won't find, you know,
• 13:28
  as far as a talented driver goes, you won't find much better than a
• 13:31
  sixty eight hundred dollars Corey Lajoy. Okay. One last thing that I wanted
• 13:37
  to end with before uh, before we close up this video is salary.
• 13:43
  Okay. Last week, are one of our main talking points was we salary
• 13:54
  was no object at Daytona. We are we were stacking the back. We
• 14:00
  were mainly focused on place differential plays, et cetera, et cetera. You
• 14:07
  could confidently leave however much salary on the table and not be worried about it.
• 14:13
  That is not the case this week. Okay. While you can feel
• 14:16
  comfortable leaving some salary on the table, if you have lineups with five,
• 14:24
  six, seven thousand dollars maybe even four or three thousand dollars left on the
• 14:30
  table, you can probably improve those lineups pretty greatly. Okay. Last week
• 14:39
  we included pretty much everybody starting you know, twentieth on back. This week
• 14:45
  we don't have to. Okay, like BJ McLeod he's starting thirty six,
• 14:52
  we don't have to include him in our player pools this week. Kaz Grala
• 14:58
  fifteen, you know, starting thirty three plus fifteen thousand odds to win,
• 15:03
  we can you know, confidently remove him. Even Justin Haley. Justin Haley
• 15:09
  is in rick Ware racing equipment. However, this isn't Talladega or Daytona.
• 15:20
  You know we can, in my opinion, confidently remove him from our player
• 15:24
  pools. Okay, so don't feel like you have to play every single driver
• 15:28
  this week because you definitely don't condense those player pools down. Pick smart dominator
• 15:37
  plays and hopefully at the end of four hundred miles we are all on top
• 15:43
  of the leader boards shipping it. So that's it for today's quick hit.
• 15:48
  I think I think I went over everything I wanted to go to. Let
• 15:54
  me just quickly go through my notes to make sure I didn't miss anything I
• 15:58
  didn't. That is everything I want to go over. As always, I
• 16:03
  will be in the Discord a little peak behind the curtain. I am recording
• 16:07
  this Saturday evening, so I will be in the Discord tonight yet for any
• 16:14
  questions, as well as all day on race day for any lineup building questions.
• 16:18
  So please feel free to reach out to me, and as always,
• 16:22
  let's ship it ten times tens, hands and puns and mounds and fans have still
