• 2:42
  Speaker 1: perfect my notes a ry no. This weekend, the Cup
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Series is on Fox Sports one in America, with pre
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: race coverage starting at two o'clock and race coverage beginning
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: at three thirty Eastern time. Today Sunday, the NASCAR Cups,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, is headed to Texas Motor Speedway
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: for today's running of the Worth four hundred. Texas is
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a mile and a half high tirewear intermediate racetrack that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: has already produced some pretty good racing this weekend. The
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Truck Series race was excellent. We'll touch on that when
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we talked about our poll sitter here in a second,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and yesterday I thought the O'Reilly Series race was fairly
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: good as well. So two for two for good races
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: on Texas this weekend. Hopefully we see a third today.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: News and notes from practice. Let me go ahead and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: pull up our stone pdf here. News and Notes from practice.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: The more high profile of the two we'll start with,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: which is good Old Bubba Wallace. Bubba spun and got
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: hard into the wall late in Group A practice, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the damage was bad enough that twenty three x I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: did decide to roll out a backup car. Bubba starting
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the race in thirty seventh position, he did not did
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: not attempt to qualifying lamp. The other story from practice
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was Austin Dylan. He ran like five six laps enough
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to get a five lap average and quickly pulled in
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: for an engine change. So he's starting dead last, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I want to mention that his teammate Kyle Busch is
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: starting sixth. So we know the RCR engines have speed
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in them for at least one lap. Will they be
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: able to hold together for the whole day. Who knows
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: there is some positive juju around RCR this week. Kyle
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Busch had a crew chief change on Monday announced, I
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: got be honest with you, I forget now who is
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: his crew chief. But then I believe maybe it was
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that same day or later on in the week, there
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: were reports that they had like a big RCR pow wow,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and Kyle spoke to the team and every and he
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: was very supportive and he stayed at that his next
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: win is going to be his best win and his
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: biggest win. And like even Austin Dillon came out with
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: like some like positive Kyle Busch words, et cetera, et cetera,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: et cetera. So am I saying to play Kyle Busch today? No,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not playing him at six. I don't. I don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: think co stay up there all day. But there does
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: seem to be some positive juju around this team when
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: there literally hasn't been any at all this season. So
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: something that definitely keep an eye on. The fact that
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Kyle Busch is sixty eight hundred breaks my heart, but
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: he's worth it and he's not worth it, but he's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: definitely earned that DraftKings price tag. So yeah, we'll see
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: if the new crew chief is what Kyle needs. Any Who,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: back to Bubba and Austin. I consider both Bubba Wallace
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and Austin Dillon to be quote unquote free squares, at
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: least for cash games today. Bubba Wallace has. Bubba Wallace
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: was caught up in an accident last year. However, he
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: finished seventh back in twenty twenty four and third back
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and in twenty twenty three he
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: let one hundred and eleven laps, so we all know
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Bubba Wallace is never normally not a thirty seventh place car.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: He should catch you plenty of place differential points today,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: assuming all goes well. Austin Dylon, in my opinion, is
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: kind of getting slept on, and he shouldn't. Last year
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: he got caught up an accident and finished thirty sixth.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: However twenty twenty four he finished eighth, and then last
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: year he finished seventh. So I mean you take out
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: that one outlier, that's pretty good, right, and that's sixty
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: five hundred and he's starting dead last and we know
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the engines are fast. Kyle Busch put a sixth place
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: qualifying lap down So I love me Bubba Wallace and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Austin Dylan today, all over them, all over both of them.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And while I'm talking about some of these back markers,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I might as well touch on Ryan Blaney. Blaney has
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: literally been one of the fastest cars week in and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: week out of the NASCAR Cup Series. He had an
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: uneventful practice, He had a slow one lap, but then
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: his car did show some decent long run speed and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: then his qualifying came up and he absolutely whiffed it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: When I was doing my pre show research at my
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: pre slate plant research this morning, I had to go
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: back and pull up the prime broadcast to watch his
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: qualifying effort, and he just missed it. He missed turn
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: one and that was all she wrote. And there's only
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: one lap and qualifying at Texas, So he messed up
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that one time and he got gifted a thirty first
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: place finished for that. We all know Blaney is not
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: a thirty first place forward right, fastest weekend and week out,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: even with his pit crew doing their best to ruin
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: it for him all of the time. So cash games
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: this weekend Blaney, Wallace, Dylan, click them, pair them with
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a potential dominator and you have the makings of a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: very solid cash lineup or GPP lineup. To be honest
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: with you, Blaney Bubba and Dylan Big Chalk today, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: they all power in line for fantastic points days, DraftKings
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: points days. Anyway, who knows about real NASCAR points, But
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: we don't care about that here, all right. I care
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: about that in my show tonight. But that's a different talk,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a bit topic for another time. All right, let's go
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: ahead and do a quick starting lineup wrap up here,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and then I will wrap this baby up. So starting
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: on the pole is Joe Gibbs Nightmare both Spier Motorsports
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Chevy's Weather three. But two of them are starting on
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the front row, Carson Josovar and Daniel Sjuarez, host of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: our's second poll, second Poll at Texas. I think he
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: has more than two poles in his career. I need
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to check that though. Look, Josovar is the man of
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the hour. In fact, his odds went down from when
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I last looked at this this morning. We obviously know
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: he won Talladega last weekend and had the celebration beyond
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: all celebrations. Uh then he came out bound and determined
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: on Friday night to win that truck race, and he did.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Then he went out and put it on the pole
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: for the Cup race today, Kids, fast, everything's coming up
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: posts of war right now. Is he going to be
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: able to lead enough laps today to pay off? I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: don't know. We haven't really seen him truly dominate a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: race yet. Yes, he won last week at Talladega. Yes
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: he's shown speed, but he really hasn't put together like
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a one hundred plus lap performance at at a track
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: like this, You know, one hundred plus leading lap performers
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: at a track like this. Do I think he'll lead
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: laps today? Absolutely? How many is he gonna lead? I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: don't know, because there's some big dogs behind him, Suarez
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: right behind him. He's been fast all season. I kind
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: of think he's gonna be swallowed up and lose some spots.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a hard time playing. Hosts of are
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: today rote two Buscher and Hamlin love me, both of them.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Hamlin awesome, He's probably my top dominator for today, truthfully.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Fantastic on this tire set, and they've used this tire
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and all intermediates this season. Fast toyotas so loved me
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: some him. Buscher fantastic at all intermediates and good long
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: run speeds, So don't sleep on Busher either. Row three
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Biscro and Kyle Busch. I love Brisco today. He doesn't
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: have the greatest history here or the greatest track type history. However,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: he is in a Joe Gibbs Toyota and we all
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: know he has the talent to dominate and we've seen
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: him do it before. He should be in your dominator pool. Absolutely.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Kyle Busch had a less than fantastic practice, came out
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and put a fast lap down. He wasn't never top
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of the boards, but he was the fastest Chevy for
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: UH before the spire Boys came out. So yeah, like
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that car has one lap fast speed, is it going
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to give him anything today? Like for the long term,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I need to see more to be back on the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Cowboys trains. Even though he's sixty eight hundred and he's
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: starting close to the front, I'm not taking that bait.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Bell and Reddick are next Bell. I don't really consider
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: him a dominant option today. Could he always? Absolutely, he's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: in the odds to win, but he's not really great
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Texas history here. But again, he's into fast Toyota. We
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: all know what Reddick can do. Five wins already on
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the season, absolutely fantastic Texas history. So would not be
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a surprised that the see Redick win number six today.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: And that's crazy to say. It's crazy to say Bowman
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and Gibbs up next. Yeah, not really in the either
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: of them, just because there's better plays at that price
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: point down the row. Kyle Larson, he won yesterday. He
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: showed good speed and practice decent. Maybe ten to five,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: he's what the he's the cheapest of the big three.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Hamlin is what eleven, Rednick ten to seven, Larson ten
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to five. Yeah, so he's the cheapest of the big three.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: He's probably my least favorite of the Big three. But
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: wouldn't surprised any of us to see Kyle Larson like
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: dominate and like lead one hundred plus laps today and win.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not So. Just Toyota's have been a little bit
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: faster this season. Connor Zilich, I have no interest to
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: him until track House shows some like good speed and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: week in and week out, Like the kid has all
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the talent in the world, but he's just not in
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a great car right now, So he's no for me, Syndric,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I'll take a shot, no problem. Cindric's almost like an
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: every weak pool guy for me. He's just solid most weeks.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I'm Elliott and Byron. Yeah, I'll play them both. I
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: wish they were cheaper, but they're the good Hendrick cars
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and they're starting bitpack, so give them here. Ross Chastain, No,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I have zero interest in Ross today. Love me some
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Corey Heim as long as we keep getting this Corey
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Heim at cheap prices. Yep, give him here. Or Riley Herps.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it. I'm going to play me some
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Riley Herps today. He's cheap, he's cheap, he's in a
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: fast Toyota, and he has had some like surprising runs
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: like quote unquote surprising, like he's made an optiple line
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: umber two this season. So Riley Herps, welcome to the playerpool.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Michael mcdall's up next. He's probably the one spier car.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I will make sure he's in the player pool. Not
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the greatest history here at Texas for you longtime NASCAR fans,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: he smashed the wall a ton years ago when he
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: was driving the old Aarons Dream Machine. That's a that's
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a throwback. God, I'll ever forget where I was on
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: that day he smashed that wall. I was in the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: frack the fairlane mall, so if you know where that is,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: that's where I was when he hit the wall that day.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: So Michael mcdadell's sixty four hundred, Yeah, I'll play him
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: for sure, Fast Chavy absolutely, Ryan Priest yep play him.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I like me from Ryan Priese today, Eric Jones, I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: can't get into that. Ricky Stenhouse, Yeah, I'll play some.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Stenhouse today doesn't seem to have the best history here,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I mean a D minus track rank, But looking at
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the price point, you gotta need and other players we're playing,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: we've got to have some cheepies, right, So I'll include
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Stenhouse there. Logano, no Verry, no Kezilowski. Yes, Look, Logano
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: has burned us so many times this season, and the
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: fact that he's still ninety two hundred blows me away.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So I don't think there's any shot Julia Lecano storms
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: for the field and dominates this race. Could he finish
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: top ten for Shore, But at that price tag, I
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: feel like there's better plays. Josh Barry just been struggling
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: this year, so he had good long run speed, yes,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: but I can't, I can't click it. Kezilowski, Yeah, he's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the old man. Keasilowski qualified midpack and it's good at
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: these high tire where racetracks as seen by the track
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: rank and track high ranking. So yeah, I'll play some
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Kaz Almendinger, Custer, Gregson, ware SVG. Those are probably all
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: nos for me in a row. Then you get to
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the heavy heavy chalk, Ryan Laney. Yep, Gilliland. I love
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: me Gilly, I think I when I did my research
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: this morning, he's like five Like what is it like
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: three top twenties in a row with like I forget
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: what the stat is, but like his last couple of
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: races are like like a seventeenth and eleventh and something else.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: So like for the price tag of the Gilliland is
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and where Gilliland usually qualifies, he's been doing very well now. Yes,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: one of those racetracks was Bristol, one of those was
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Talladega and the other one was Kansas. So those are
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: some uh, those are some you know if he racetracks.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: But still, I love me some Gilly.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: We'll make sure he's in the pool. John Hunter. Probably
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: not for me, yes, Legacy Motor Club is in uh Toyotas,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: but they're like the slow Toyotas, So that's a no
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: for me. Saint Smith, yep, we'll be playing him Tydlon
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: probably not Chad Finscham. Oh my god, no, zero, don't
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: don't please, don't. Just he's gonna be a thousand laps
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: down and there's not even a thousand laps in this race.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: That's how slow Chad Finscham is. And then Bubba Wallace
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and Austin Dylan we've already spoke about. So yes, they
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: are clicks for me. All right, Hey, that's it for me.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: It's nine thirty three on Sunday morning as of this recording,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: no drivers to the rear. I don't expect to hear
