  Speaker 1: All system's going clear the lifting. Hello, and welcome to
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: season two of NASCAR DFS content here at ship A Nation.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I am Eric, also known as the Game on Discord,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and tonight I'm going to be breaking down the granddaddy
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of the mall, the Daytone of five hundred. But before
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: we go ahead and break down this race, please go
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: ahead and hit that like button and subscribe to our
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel if you haven't already. It really does go
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: an incredibly long way in helping us with the YouTube algorithm. Friends,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: we are back season two of NASCAR content here at
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: ship at Nation. Last year obviously was our inaugural season
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of content for NASCAR at ship Nation, and I'm going
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to say it went pretty freaking fantastic. So let's let's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: grow on that and get season two started here with,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: of course, the biggest race of the NASCAR season, the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Daytona five hundred. Let's see here. Also, this is my
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: first time creating a video since Championship Race of last year,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: so got to shake the cobwebs out here a little bit.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Let me see here. With the threat of rain in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the area, NASCAR has decided to move the start time
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of the race. The green flag will now drop at
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: one thirty on Sunday afternoon. That's up one hour from
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the original two thirty Green Flag Star time, So one
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: thirty pm on Sunday afternoon that's Eastern time, so adjust
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to your time zone accordingly. And TV coverage will be
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: on the Big Fox Fox Maine in the US and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: TSN five for our good friends up in Canada. And
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I think the pre race comes on at like eleven,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: so there is racing on all of the day tomorrow
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: or today whenever you are watching this video this weekend.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Since we are super speedway racing at Daytona, dominator points
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: will not come into play at all. If you are
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: new to NASCAR DFS. Dominator points are the points earned
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: by either a leading a lap or be having the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: fastest lap. So if you lead fifty laps and have
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: seventy seven fastest laps, you get points for each of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: those laps lead and fastest laps. However, since this is
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a super speedway race, we don't care about those because
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the laps lead will be spread out throughout the field
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: as well as the fastest laps, so we really can't
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: pinpoint who will have those fastest laps and laps lead.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So if we aren't focused on dominator points this weekend
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and technically next weekend in Atlanta as well, what are
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we actually focusing on place differential? Place differential is the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: king this weekend at Daytona, it is the king for Talladega,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and it's pretty much the king in Atlanta to Atlanta.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe run a dominator in Atlanta, but for the most
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: part next week and we'll be stacking it back to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I will confidently be removing the drivers who start in
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the top fifteen from my playerpool, and I recommend you
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: do as well. In the past four races, there's only
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: been three drivers of the twenty four who have started
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in the top ten who've made the optimal lineups. Right,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So stacking the back, which is basically focusing on drivers
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: who start twentieth on back, really really works at Daytona
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and Talludega. In Atlanta. However, I will also be including
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: some drivers who start sixteen through twenty, but we will
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: get to them in a second. Oh, let's see here,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Do I have any other notes before I go into it? Yes?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So last year, at the start of the season and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: for the majority of the season, I broke down the
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: slate and then discussed four drivers. Towards the end of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the season, I pivoted into discussing each of the drivers
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in the starting lineup, and let me get a drink
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: of coffee, because I haven't done this in a while,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Am I better? Now? All right? Good? So I will
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: be discussing each of the drivers in the starting lineup
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and just giving my quick top of mind thoughts on
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: each of them. So let me quickly move my stream
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: yard studio here, get the stone in front of my face,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: all right? So earlier, as I mentioned, I am removing
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the top fifteen drivers from my player pool. However, I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: still am going to discuss them. And as you can
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: see by the ownership of these top fifteen drivers, a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: lot of people will be doing the same thing. So
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: please do not feel if you're due to NASCAR dfs
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it might feel odd to get rid of so many
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: decent and big name drivers because there's a couple of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: big names here in the top fifteen, but they really
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: do not come into play at all at Daytona and Talladega. Well,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: let's go ahead and break them down anyway, starting off
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: with our pole sitter, Chase Briscoe. He starting off this season.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He ended last season I want to say on a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: high note as probably Stuart Haws's best car towards the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: end of the season. Stuart Hass Racing no longer exists.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So Chase Briscoe got signed by Joe Gibbs Racing. He
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: absolutely leveled up in that situation. I don't think he
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: really has a chance to win tomorrow. However, I do
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: anticipate him winning a few times this season. Chase Briscoe
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: is a talent. He has a good team behind him.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Joe Gibbs is an A plus team. I think we
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: will see him in Victory Lane at least a few
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: times this season. Just don't think it's going to be tomorrow.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Next up Austin Sindrick, two times Daytona five hundred winner.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Austin Sindric I think of my head team. Penske is
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: fantastic at speedway racing. Austin Sindrick is great too. It
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: would not surprise me to see him lead a lot
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: of the race, or at least a lot of the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: early stages tomorrow. He had a very surprising twenty twenty
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: four season. No one expected him to be as good
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: as he was. He wasn't maybe two races. I think
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: was in the playoffs very good, So would not be
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: surprised to see Austin Sindric park at Victory Lane tomorrow.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Bubba Wallace, he has that new dad energy come in
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: into this season, has already parked it into Victory Lane
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: this week by winning one of the Gatorade duels. And yeah,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: he fast car fast Toyota has proven he can win.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: He wont a duel, right, so now is the dual
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: same as a five hundred? No, but at least you've
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: seen him win at Daytona. Will I be playing him
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: in DFS? Of course? Not well. I maybe put some
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: money on him on the sports books probably. Next up
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Eric Jones Legacy Motor Club. They were pretty much dog
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: water all of last season and started off this season
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: with a bang. Should have won the dual race on
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Duel two on Thursday night but got the wind taken
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: away from him. Yeah good, I like him as a driver.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Legacy Motor Club was not the best last season. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: don't have really high hopes for him at all this season.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I don't think he'll make it in a Victory Lane tomorrow. Yeah,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I hope a lot for Eric Jones.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I just hope the car is good enough. Next up,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: good old William Byron. Would not surprise me at all
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to see him win tomorrow. He is an excellent super
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: speedway driver. Drives for Hendrick Motorsports, which is a plus
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: top tier team. Recent form. He ended last season on fire.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: He should be in contention for tomorrow, but not for
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: US on DraftKings. Chris Busher same great at plate races.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Fords were great at play racing as well, just not
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: in play for US tomorrow. Ty Dylan for some reason
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: got the call to run full time again for colleague. Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I don't really know why, but yeah, I have no
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: interest to him obviously in DFS I have no interest
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to him. On the sports book, totally fading Ty Dylan tomorrow.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Denny Hamlin. Denny had quite an interesting off season with
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: lawsuits and being unable to find sponsorship. In the off season.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: There has been some pictures taken of his haller and
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: his hauler is mostly blank, so that's not good to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: have a mostly blank hauler running into Daytona. However, that
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't impact me as far as playing him. Will I
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: play him in DFS tomorrow? No? Will I bet him
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: on the sports books. Yes, love Denny Hamlin on the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: books Tomorrow, Ross Chastain, I don't really consider him a
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: super speedway, a spider stretch of the imagination. Plus he's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: been known to be a little Rammy starts ninth, No
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: concern of us. Probably will be staying away from him
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: on the books as well. Joey Logano Team Ski Love
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Joey Logano Tomorrow Love Team Penske tomorrow. Really wish Joey
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Logano was starting fifteenth on back last steers champion. Yeah,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: he won last year's championship. That's wild, and yeah, I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: think he is absolutely in contention to win the race tomorrow.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Just really don't play for us in DFS. Tyler Reddick,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Red Dog. I love him as a driver, He's an
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: excellent talent fast cars, a great team. Pitt Crew let
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: him down fairly often last year. I don't think he'll
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: be in contention to win tomorrow and he's not played
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: for us in DFS. Next up, his old foot in
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the mouth Cory la Joy. All season, Cory la Joy
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: just seemed like he continued to put his foot in
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: his mouth over and over and over and over again.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: He starts twelfth. I'm glad he starts twelfth so I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: don't have to play him in DFS. Will he probably
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: be upfront the majority of the day tomorrow. Yes, do
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I think he'll win? No? Next up A J. Almondinger.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I love the Dinger. I just wish he was starting
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a couple of rows back. Todd Gilliland, love Gilly again,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: just wish he was starting a few rows back. Austin Dillon,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: He's almost always a permanent fade for me. However, he
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: has had success at Daytona now. I think he's had
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: like one win and the rest have been like twenty fifth,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: like thirty third place finishes over the past like four
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: or five races for him, So he has had success.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Earlier in the video I mentioned starting my player pool
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: with sixteenth Ryan Blaney, which I will if you would
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: want to consider Austin Dillon. I don't think it's a
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: terrible play. Yes, his projection is low because, like I said,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: he has one victory and like how many twenty seventh
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to thirty third place finishes? Right, But Richard Children's racing
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: is pretty much good at one thing, and one thing
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: only in twenty twenty five, mind you, And that is
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: super speedway racing. So will I be playing Austin Dillon? No?
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Can I see an argument of including him in the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: next group I'm gonna talk about here. Yes, And that
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: next group we're going to be talking about here is
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Ryan Blaney through Christopher Bell. I will be starting off
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: my playerpool with these drivers. However, I will only be
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: using a max of one of them per my lineups. Okay,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: So Ryan Blaney Smash tomorrow. Love him will probably be
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a fairly higher owned. I think he'll probably come in
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: higher than are currently projected twenty one point four, but
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: he is starting sixteenth, so that might temper that down
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a little bit. But he has been an excellent super
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: speedway racer. He has excellent recent form, and by recent
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: form I mean the last five or six races from
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: last season. Team Penske awesome at super speedway races. Love
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Ryan Blaney Tomorrow. Everything I said about Ryan Blaney, same
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: thing with Chase Elliott, NASCAR's most popular driver, would not
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: at all surprise me to see him in Victory Lane tomorrow.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest fan of him personally, but that
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: really doesn't matter. He's a good play, He's good at
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: superspeedway races. He's an A plus team, A plus pit crew.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: No good play, John Hunter, Nimachek and Justin Algeyer Uh.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: These could be drivers you use to if you want
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to include them in the sixteenth through twentieth max of
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: one player pool. They will be drivers to help get
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: you away from the Blaney Elliott and Bell Chalk, John
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Hunter dog Water. In my opinion, surprise he's still in
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: this car. But he could surprise us and win tomorrow.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Why not, or at least get us a top five.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: He could if he says out of trouble. Justin al
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Geier h. He is in the Junior Motorsports car who's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: making its debut. I don't know how much I will
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: have of him. I like him in the Infinity Series,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: he's never been good in Cup. Yes it is Daytona.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Yes it is just foot to the floor. He's gonna
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: have a lot of eyes on him tomorrow because it's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Junior Motorsports's debut in the Cup Series. I don't know
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: if he can keep up with his end of the bargain. However,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, you should also consider that car
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: basically a Hendrick Motorsports fifth car so I'm kind of
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: suss on the driver. I'm not suss about the car.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Take with that info as you will. Next up, Christopher Bell.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Love Christopher Bell. I think he might be our highest
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: projected driver. No, we have one more projected higher than him.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Christopher Belle has been fantastic all off season. He's been
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: racing and the Tulsa Shootout and the Chili Bowl. He's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: been back into four ten sprint car. He has been
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: active racing all off season and been successful all off season. Yes,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: those forms of racing have nothing to do with the
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: two minds High Banks of Daytona. However, he's been active,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: he's been winning, and he's been staying sharp. He ended
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: last season fantastic. Love Christopher Bell tomorrow and really love
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Christopher Bell all season. Would not surprise me He'll be
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: in the championship four. Would not surprise me to see
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: him finally win the championship next season. Next up, my
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: pick to win the race I called my shot earlier
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: this week in the discord. If you're in the discord,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: and that is Kyle Busch, like I mentioned with Richard
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Children's Racing and Austin Dylan earlier, if there is one thing,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and maybe the only thing anymore that Richard Children's racing
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: at the cup level is good at it is super
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: speedway racing. Kyle Busch did not win all of last season,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: his first winless season, and I don't have that information
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: off the top of my head, first winless season, and
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: who knows how long ever, maybe since we even been
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: in a Cup. And he's never won the Daytona five hundred,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and this is the twentieth time he's trying to win
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: this race. There was one other time a driver made
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: their twentieth Daytona five hundred start for Richard Childre's Racing
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: and they parked it in Victory Lane, and that was
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Dale Earnhart in nineteen ninety eight. Now, am I saying
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Kyle Busch is going to win the Daytona five hundred
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: because Dalaarenheart did it nineteen ninety eight. No, however, I
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: am saying that Kyle Busch has also been active in
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the off season, and he has mentioned numerous times this
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: is the race he wants to win the most. And
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the man went winless all last year and he's not
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: used to losing. So the books love him. I love him.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Kyle Busch is my pick to win the Daytona five hundred.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: That said, for DVST purposes, I will probably play him
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: at the field. I think right now we have him
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: at twenty three percent. I will probably play him between that,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: maybe thirty five forty. I think he's a great play,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: but he will probably get some steam from when I
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: record this till green flag tomorrow. Next up is Kyle
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Larson one of if not, I'll say it. He is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the best driver in the world, no matter what discipline.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Sorry Max for stapping. Super speedway racing has not been
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: kind to Kyle Larson at all. Can he go out
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and win tomorrow? Absolutely? Can he go out and cause
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: an accident and get caught up in something. Absolutely. You
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: probably won't see him under ten thousand much this season,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and you probably won't see him at such a low
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: ownership much this season. So play him, keep him in
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: your player pool. But I don't know. I will be very,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: very surprised if Larson wins the five hundred tomorrow. Now,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not surprised if Larsen wins you know, every other
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: race on the schedule that's not a super speedway. But
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: super speedways and Larson have never never gone hand in hand.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Ty Gibbs, who I've said how many times last year
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: was gonna win a race and he didn't. Ty Gibbs
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: up next in twenty third position. No problem playing him.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Don't really consider him a super Speedway ace, but he's
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: in a Joe Gibbs car. This is what his third
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: full season, so he's not a stranger by any stretch
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: of the imagination, So feel free to roll him out.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Riley Herbs in the third twenty three to eleven car.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: No issues here rolling out Riley. He was quite impressive
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: last season in the Infinity season in the Infinity Series
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: rather twenty three eleven car Toyota. I don't think he'll
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: have issues finding people to draft with him and work
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, no issues rolling out Riley Tomorrow. Michael McDowell,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: fantastic plate racer. He has moved from the front Row
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Motorsports forward to the Spire Motorsports Chevy. I consider Spire
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Motorsports basically a Minnie Hendrick, So yeah, I love Michael
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: McDowell Tomorrow. Shane Van Gisbergen. If this was the Daytona
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Road Course, I would say lock and load, but it's not.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: He you will probably be one I removed from the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: player pool. Well, now that I say that, I probably
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: won't because it might be able to get an ownership
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: advantage of him Incasey keeps out of trouble. But I
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: don't believe he was particularly impressive in the Infinity Series
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: plate tracks or super speedway tracks last season. And this
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: is a whole different bag of wax with with with
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the Cup Series. So he's full time in Cup this year.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: These first two weeks for him, I think you're gonna
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: be very interesting because he is a small fish in
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: a big pond. Is that the saying for the at
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: least these first two weeks. Ryan Preese, Uh for some reason,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: RFK or Ralsh Fenway because Alowski signed him in the offseason.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Don't know why. He is known for spectacular crashes at Daytona.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Fords run well here, RFK works well as a team.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Fords in general seemed to work together very well at
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: super speedway races. He's a little reckless in my opinion,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: but sometimes reckless wins, so no issues. Rolling out Priest
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow Cody Ware in the Rick Ware Racing car. His
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: projection actually surprised me. When I got done running it.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: I was like, Wow, that was bigger than I thought.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: But then I looked through some stats and it just
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: seems like he keeps out of trouble. That said, I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: wish she was starting fortieth and not twenty eighth. I
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: probably will not be playing him just because there's some
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: better drivers beneath him, but feel free to keep him
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: in your playerpool. I just wouldn't go crazy on your exposures,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Josh Barry. If this was new Sermrna, I would say
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: lock and load on Josh Berry, but it's not. It
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: is Daytona. Uh. That said, he does have a decent
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: track ranking at Daytona, but he doesn't have as many
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: races here at Daytona as the other drivers because that
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: track ranking and track type rankings start at twenty twenty two,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: which is when the next gen era begins, and Josh
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Berry was not in the Cup Series in twenty twenty
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: two or twenty twenty three, so I don't really consider
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: him a plate driver, racer, et cetera. However, the Wood
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Brothers are an excellent super speedway team. They have one
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: here with a rookie driver many years ago, with Trevor Bain,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and he's in a Ford Ford's worked together very well.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: So I don't have him really on my Bengo card
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: for anything major tomorrow. But he is in a decent
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: enough car and that team knows how to win at
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: these big plate tracks. So Josh Berry take with that
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: as you will. Next up, we have Cole Custer who's
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: coming back to the Cup Series this year. He is
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: in the Hoss Factory team. So, as I mentioned earlier,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Stuart Haas went bye bye because Tony Stewart packed up
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: his ball and went home. But Gene Haas said, not
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: so fast. I'm going to create the Hass Factory team
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: with a whole bunch of mid drivers. Just kidding, kind
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: of not really. Cole Custer was a boss in the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Infinity Series last season. I don't know if he's going
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to make a splash in the Cup Series this year,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: especially with the Hoss Factory team because they're a single
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: car team. That being said, have him in your pool.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe go a little heavier on him because we are
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: starting now in the thirties, so you know, maybe go
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: a little heavier on him and less on the next driver,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: vice versa. Just just get funky with your ownership, right,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: play the ownership game. Get it get a little different places.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Cole Custer, I think he was decent enough
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: in Infinity super speedway racing. So yeah, I don't know.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I just I don't think that team is where it
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: needs to be. We'll see next up. Ricky Stenthouse Junior
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: with the freshly named Hyak. I guess that's how you
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: say that, hyak yak heyack. I don't know motorsports. This
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: is the same team he was with. I think it
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: was JTG Doherty before. This is that same operation. They
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: just changed names. They might have even changed some ownership
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: partners around, but it is the same team. Cars all
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Excellent super speedway racer excellent, excellent, excellent, also
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: can be a weapon, right is known to be a weapon.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: He is a he has a previous Daytona five winner.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I think actually all of his wins in the Cup
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: series have come on super speedway tracks. Uh, he will
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: get some ownership tomorrow, but he has proven that he
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: is able to put it in victory lane at Daytona
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: and other super speedways. So solid, solid play for tomorrow.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Noah Gregson, he moved over to front Remoter Sports from
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the now defunk Stewart has team love Noah, No issues
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: playing Noah. Uh. This is his like two like like
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: second full time season in Cup after being kicked out
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: a Cup and what twenty twenty two or twenty twenty
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: three after some social media stuff happened. So yeah, he's
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: been around the block many times. No issues rolling out
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: no tomorrow. Carson, host of R in the Mini Hendrick
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Spire Motorsports machine. I love hosts of R almost every week.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I'll probably go a little bit under on him tomorrow
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: just because if you're familiar with NASCAR, you have seen
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a host of R be aggressive in the past, putting
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: himself in bad positions, definitely not afraid to use the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: bumper on other cars, et cetera, et cetera. Do I
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: think he'll intentionally wreck someone at one hundred and eighty
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: at Daytona? No? Do I think after a long offse
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and he might put himself in harm's way. Yes, So
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I love hosts of AR. I just think I need
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: a week or two before I play him. Next up,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: probably the highest stone driver of the slate, and that
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: is bad. Brad Keselowski excellent super speedway racer, excellent team
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: as far as plate racing goes, he's teammates with Well,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: he owns the cars. He's part owner with Jack Roush.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: He owns the Ryan Preesch Machine in the Chris Busher machine.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: I believe he was caught up in an accident or
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: a situation in one of the duels, and that's why
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: he's starting so far back. He will get a ton
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: of ownership tomorrow, an absolute ton. However, he is a
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: smash play and deserves all of that ownership. So in
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: my opinion, you gotta take a stand. You either got
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: to go overweight on him and and hope he smashes,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: which he could very well do, or go underweight and
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: hope he craps the bed, which he could also do.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: It is Daytona, it's highly volatile. That said, he is
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: an excellent play for tomorrow. Next up, Justin Haley. Love
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Justin Haley most weeks. No issues playing him here. He's
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: also inspired motorsports. So, like I said when I mentioned
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Host of R, I'm not really worried about the cars
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: for Aspire at all. They're basically like Minnie Hendrick and
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Justin Haley is probably number two on that team. I'd
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: say it's probably Michael McDowell number one, Haley number two,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: and host of R number three, as if you're ranking
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: them in order of talent. I don't know. So Yeah,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: no issues in rolling out justin Haley tomorrow. And he's
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: been around longer than host of R, so I don't
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: think he'd put him himself in bad positions like I
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: assume hosts of are well, Wow, we're over thirty minutes already,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Holy Holy all right, next up Daniel Suarez and me
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and bgo shrack House Racing. Uh, he's probably in the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: hot seat now that uh Pitt Bull has left for
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the ownership of that organization. He won the Atlanta Race
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: in the winter, the first Atlanta Race in twenty twenty four,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: which was the closest finish. I don't want to say
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: a NASCAR history and be wrong and someone'll clown me
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: in the comments, but it was very close finish. I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: remember us watching that in the discord together and so
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: many new race fans were like, oh my god, this
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: is the greatest thing ever. And then we got a
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: sport and race the next week. Yeah. Uh love me
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: and EGO. Yeah, I have no issues in playing Suarez.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I do get worried about the aggression with him. But
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: he's in a good spot. Next up Zane Smith racing
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: for front Row Motorsports. Zayne had a very tough start
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty four season, but then kind of
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: got it together towards the end. However, he changed rides
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: from Lord. Where was he? Was he a track house
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: last season? I think he was to now front Row. Yeah,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I have no issues in playing Zaye tomorrow. I probably
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: won't play Zane at like other tracks to start the season.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I need to see how he does. But these first
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: two weeks, yeah, I'll play Zane. Alex Bowman fantastic play
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: here in thirty eighth. He is a fantastic plate racer.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: He's in Hendrick Motorsports equipment. If Keselowski's going to be
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the highest owned driver, probably Bowman's probably gonna be the
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: second highest owned, with Duex being the next at the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: third highest owned. He is our highest projected driver as
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: far as points are concerned. He will get a ton
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: of ownership tomorrow, but with good reason. He is great
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: at these style of tracks. He is in a plus
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: top tiery equipment. If he can keep his nose clean
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: and stay out of trouble, there is no reason he
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: can't get you a top ten, no reason he can't
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: do that. So yeah, love Bowman The Showman Tomorrow. Martin
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Truex Junior in thirty ninth. He retired from full time
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: competition last year, but he decided not so fast. I'm
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: coming back at least for the five hundred and some
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: select races in the twenty twenty five season. He is
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: racing for Tricon Garage. But I'm going to say that
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: this is probably mostly prepared by Joe Gibbs Racing. I
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: don't know that for certain. I will do some more
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: research on that and follow up on the slate plan
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: once I have that fairly confirmed. What I'm fairly positive
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: is a Joe Gibbs prepared Toyota. What's interesting with Truex
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: is his crew chief from his championship winning season, Cole
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Pern is his crew chief for this venture. Now, after
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: they won the championship, Cole Pern left the sport. He
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: decided I'm gone and he went to a whole another
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: industry doing I don't even know it, just left. But
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: he's back for this part time venture with Martin, and
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I think that's great. Cole Pern is an amazing crew chief,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: very talented, got a lot, maybe the most out of Martin.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Do I think Martin's gonna win tomorrow? No, I don't know.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I was gonna say no, but then
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I thought about it and it's like, well, why not.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: He's in a Joe Gibs Toyota. Did he retire from
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: competition last year? Yeah, but it's not like he missed
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: any races. This is he went through a standard offseason.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: It's not like he was gone for you know, six
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: months this year and then you know, jumping into a car.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: So he's as fresh as anybody else, you know, here
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: on the track, and he doesn't care because he's not
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: coming back next week. So yeah, I take it back.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Love Martin CHUECKX Junior tomorrow in the Tricon Toyota Next
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: upe we have our last two drivers, Jimmy Johnson. I
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: hate to say it, he's a fade for me. He
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: has been awful in every single Next Gen race he's
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: ever ran. Now, with that said, he is in fortieth.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: If he stays out of trouble and there's a couple
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: of big accidents, he could get twenty spots just based
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: on that, right, So you know, as far as that goes, yeah,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: play him, but he just has not been good in
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: any next Gen race. And it's crazy. He's a seventh
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: time champion and he's five to five five five for
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: seven time Winston Cup champion. Crazy, That's that's how you know.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: That's what the that's what DraftKings and FANDU will think
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: of him. Right, So he's he's a seven time champion,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: he's talented. Don't think I'm gonna be playing him. And last,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: but most certainly not least, is Helio Castro Nevis starting
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: in the forty first provisional position. He is making his
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: NASCAR Cup debut in the Daytona five hundred. He was
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: kind of an embarrassment during during the duel, he lost
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: control on the apron and they had to roll out
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: a backup car. I think they rolled up backup car.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe they fixed it. I'm not sure. But regardless, he's
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: starting dead last. I'm not me personally, I'm not playing him. However,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: the upside is there, much like Jimmie Johnson, if there's
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: a couple of big accidents and his butt is just
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: driving in the back all day long and he gains
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: twenty spots just through attrition. Of others. That's a smash play.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Is he gonna win this tomorrow? No? Do I think
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: he's gonna get a ton of ownership tomorrow. No? Am
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I gonna play him? Probably not? Should you at least
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: consider it? Yes? And that's it? Hey, that's it. Thirty
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: seven minutes. This could be the longest quick hit ever.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: This actually wasn't quick at all. This is we should
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: rename this the long hit video. See here? Anything else
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: I want to speak about? No, I'm going to hit
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: the outro, end this show, check on my wife and
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: my little baby, and then write a slate plan. So, guys,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be a great season. Thanks for sticking around.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: If you played with us last season. If you're new here, welcome,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: and as always, let's shipp it.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Mother has Master had still at Mothers and then still
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Mothers most hand still mad, my pans invested Mons Mathers
• 39:30
