- 3:38Speaker 2: ship at Nation dot com one stop shop for all
- 3:41Speaker 2: things DFS. Now, let's go ahead and pivot back to
- 3:45Speaker 2: the cookout four hundred at Richmond Raceway. Fun fact cookout
- 3:49Speaker 2: I've never been. There are no cookouts here in central Pennsylvania,
- 3:54Speaker 2: and whenever I've passed a cookout, either a going south
- 3:57Speaker 2: or going west out towards Pittsburgh, I've never stopped. So
- 4:01Speaker 2: let me know in the chat or in the comments
- 4:03Speaker 2: of cookouts any good because I've never been. The NASCAR
- 4:06Speaker 2: Cup Series is once again headed to a short flat track.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I remember the days when Richmond was known as the
- 4:13Speaker 2: Action Track, but to now it's just kind of known
- 4:16Speaker 2: as Richmond Raceway and they took all the fun branding away.
- 4:19Speaker 2: So Richmond Raceway is tonight's track. Short flat track four
- 4:24Speaker 2: hundred laps on tap for tonight, which should equal out
- 4:27Speaker 2: to roughly two one hundred and eighty dominator points. We
- 4:32Speaker 2: will absolutely want to target those a little kind of key.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Once you get more laps in a race, that's kind
- 4:39Speaker 2: of when you want to grab more dominators. So four
- 4:42Speaker 2: hundred laps, five hundred laps dominators are key. So tonight
- 4:47Speaker 2: four hundred laps, two hundred and eighty down points up
- 4:50Speaker 2: for grabs, we will want to target those points. I'm
- 4:54Speaker 2: recommending between two and three potential dominators per lineup. We
- 4:58Speaker 2: have two or two heavy hitters for chalk place differential plays,
- 5:05Speaker 2: but we also have a couple of heavy hitter DOMA
- 5:07Speaker 2: options today as well. So let's go ahead and pull
- 5:10Speaker 2: up the NASCAR stone I call this version I show
- 5:13Speaker 2: here on the screen NASCAR Stoned because I block out
- 5:17Speaker 2: their projections. Normally, when I do this case, it's like
- 5:20Speaker 2: a wildcard type of race that I don't really mind,
- 5:23Speaker 2: but for regular races, I do block everything out. So
- 5:25Speaker 2: here is the NASCAR Stoned edition. And as you can see,
- 5:29Speaker 2: once again, it is a Team Penske week. As Ryan
- 5:33Speaker 2: Blaney led the important part of practice, which is the
- 5:38Speaker 2: twenty five and thirty lap average of practice. Him and
- 5:41Speaker 2: teammate Joe Lagano were one in two and those aspects
- 5:45Speaker 2: of practice with Blaney ending up in the poll and
- 5:47Speaker 2: qualifying and Logano top ten. Those two, I think are
- 5:51Speaker 2: your top down plays for the day. Excellent, excellent short
- 5:55Speaker 2: flat tracks. News flash, It's probably gonna be the same
- 5:58Speaker 2: next weeks as well. These short flag tracks, they really
- 6:04Speaker 2: they meaning Penske really really dominate at so don't be
- 6:08Speaker 2: surprised to see Legano and Blaney and or any other
- 6:12Speaker 2: of their team Penske teammates on top of the don
- 6:15Speaker 2: plays next week for New Hampshire as well. Not too
- 6:18Speaker 2: much to write home with During practice, this was a
- 6:21Speaker 2: split practice session that is coming to an end, I
- 6:24Speaker 2: believe next week. I believe next week is New Hampshire,
- 6:27Speaker 2: so this weekend should be the last time we see
- 6:32Speaker 2: the split off group practice sessions. And because it is
- 6:36Speaker 2: a split group practice session, I'm not really loving the
- 6:41Speaker 2: practice data too too much. Like, yeah, I think those
- 6:44Speaker 2: in Group B or how should I say it? Like
- 6:47Speaker 2: I used to say it. If you're going to use
- 6:49Speaker 2: the practice data to help build your player pool, I
- 6:51Speaker 2: would highly recommend comparing those in group B to also
- 6:56Speaker 2: those in Group B, and the same with Group A.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Compare those with Group A to Group A because track
- 7:04Speaker 2: conditions change group A goes out first in qualifying that
- 7:08Speaker 2: type of thing. So I don't love the practice data
- 7:10Speaker 2: as much as I loved it last weekend, but it's
- 7:13Speaker 2: still I think, okay to use as long as you
- 7:15Speaker 2: compare the bees to the b's and the a's to
- 7:16Speaker 2: the a's. Next week, we don't got to worry about
- 7:19Speaker 2: that anymore. And for the rest of the season, and
- 7:21Speaker 2: hopefully for the rest of I'm doing this, so yeah, hopefully, hopefully.
- 7:26Speaker 2: In fact, I'm going to remove that group column next
- 7:30Speaker 2: week from the stone. It's gonna make me so happy
- 7:32Speaker 2: to get rid of that damn thing. But yeah, no,
- 7:35Speaker 2: nothing really did write home for in practice. Cody ware
- 7:38Speaker 2: spun out. He broke a transactual transaxle. No one really
- 7:43Speaker 2: cares too much about him, sorry Cody. And really the
- 7:47Speaker 2: other not even a practice thing. But Christopher Bell's car
- 7:52Speaker 2: failed inspection twice on Friday, and therefore his car chief
- 7:59Speaker 2: got e check did from the event. Now he looked
- 8:03Speaker 2: kind of pedestrian in his practice session, but he still
- 8:06Speaker 2: ended up qualifying eighth, and he is one of If
- 8:11Speaker 2: Blaney and Logano are one two for short flax short
- 8:14Speaker 2: flat tracks, I'd say probably Bell's three right, he's really
- 8:17Speaker 2: really good at this style of racetrack. So his car
- 8:21Speaker 2: chief was ejected. I'm not too concerned about that. Smaller
- 8:24Speaker 2: teams I would be because personnel is sometimes tighter or not.
- 8:29Speaker 2: We don't have too many personnel on the small teams
- 8:31Speaker 2: before team like Joe Gibbs, I don't care about it.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Bell's car chief was ejected, and that's it. Since he
- 8:36Speaker 2: didn't fail three times, nothing more happens. Just the car
- 8:40Speaker 2: chief was ejected. He gets to keep his spot, et cetera,
- 8:42Speaker 2: et cetera. So not the best practice effort for Cebail.
- 8:46Speaker 2: But but still he's excellent at these style of racetracks,
- 8:51Speaker 2: so shouldn't be surprised as he him up near the
- 8:53Speaker 2: front by the end of the night to night. Let's
- 8:57Speaker 2: go ahead and do a quick rundown of the starting
- 9:00Speaker 2: line up here. I'm gonna like I say this every
- 9:02Speaker 2: single week. I'm going to try and be not too
- 9:05Speaker 2: long winded. Let's see how I do. Also, before I
- 9:09Speaker 2: go into this, h I'm not sure if we're allowed
- 9:11Speaker 2: to say this, but I'm gonna say this here. Your
- 9:13Speaker 2: boy is locked in for at least one more full
- 9:16Speaker 2: year of NASCAR. Content with ship at nation dot com.
- 9:19Speaker 2: So if you like me, you have me for at
- 9:23Speaker 2: least one more year because I'm under contract, so I'm
- 9:28Speaker 2: here for another year at least, probably a lot longer.
- 9:31Speaker 2: So if anybody was wondering, Hey, what's gonna happen to Eric?
- 9:34Speaker 2: If anything? Ever, Hey, I'm here for the least another
- 9:37Speaker 2: year at locked In. I love it here at chip
- 9:39Speaker 2: it Nation. The best everything you need for success with
- 9:42Speaker 2: the FS and life here at chippit nation dot com.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Go ahead and break down this starting lineup. Ryan Blaney
- 9:50Speaker 2: on the pole, No surprise there, he has clean air.
- 9:53Speaker 2: If he gets out to the lead to start the race,
- 9:55Speaker 2: it could be another stink show dominated performance like we
- 9:58Speaker 2: saw from him last week, so won't be surprised there.
- 10:02Speaker 2: Chase Brisco outside poll. If Planey slips up on the
- 10:07Speaker 2: start and Prisco gets that clean air, it could be
- 10:09Speaker 2: Brisco stinking up at least the first stage of the show,
- 10:12Speaker 2: So wouldn't be surprised to see Brisco do well. Josh
- 10:15Speaker 2: Berry Tied Gibbs up next. It's a theme here. We
- 10:18Speaker 2: have Penske Joe Gibbs on the on the front row,
- 10:21Speaker 2: and then Penske albeit Wood Brothers and Joe Gibbs on
- 10:25Speaker 2: the second row. Josh Berry, Lamb Duck driver. I expect
- 10:29Speaker 2: him to do well again today. I don't really consider
- 10:32Speaker 2: him a dominator option just because of the season he
- 10:36Speaker 2: is having. But don't get it twisted that man could
- 10:38Speaker 2: lead laps today and he could win this race. He
- 10:41Speaker 2: is a talented driver. He grew up on these short
- 10:44Speaker 2: flat tracks and he needs to do something to get
- 10:49Speaker 2: him a job next year, right, So wouldn't be surprised
- 10:52Speaker 2: to see Josh Berry win this thing today. Don't really
- 10:56Speaker 2: consider him a dominator option just because of the season
- 10:58Speaker 2: he is having, but he is good at this Dollar racetrack.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Ty Gibbs fast all year, won what last week? Came
- 11:06Speaker 2: out with a wonderful fifty four Eminem's paint shot that
- 11:10Speaker 2: he's going to run at Bristol to honor Kyle Busch
- 11:13Speaker 2: with all kinds of Kyle Busch memories in it. If
- 11:16Speaker 2: you are a longtime Kyle Busch fan, you will know
- 11:20Speaker 2: that fifty four was Kyle Busch's number when he fired
- 11:24Speaker 2: up Kyle Busch Motorsports KPM. And now that's obviously gibbs
- 11:29Speaker 2: his number and has been for a while. That's going
- 11:33Speaker 2: to be really cool and Bristill in a couple of
- 11:34Speaker 2: weeks to see. But we're to talk about Bristol, we're
- 11:36Speaker 2: talking about Richmond, ken Ty Gibbs win. Richmond. Absolutely, his
- 11:40Speaker 2: track rank and track type rank don't look the best,
- 11:43Speaker 2: but that's because he really hasn't been all that great
- 11:45Speaker 2: in the Cup level until this season. So would not
- 11:48Speaker 2: be surprised to see O Gibbs do good again. Ryan,
- 11:51Speaker 2: William Byron and Ryan Prees up next. William Byron I
- 11:55Speaker 2: have no problem taking a shot with He just hasn't
- 12:00Speaker 2: had that performance yet this season. That's why it's so
- 12:03Speaker 2: hard for me to consider him a dominer, just because
- 12:05Speaker 2: they really haven't dominated this season, right, But it's it's
- 12:09Speaker 2: Willy b in a Homahamahama in a Hendrick Chevy. So
- 12:14Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if he does well today. Ryan Pries,
- 12:17Speaker 2: I love him when he starts way in the back.
- 12:20Speaker 2: I don't love him when he starts weighing the front.
- 12:23Speaker 2: But if you want to try to get off some
- 12:24Speaker 2: of that shock and you think it's going to be
- 12:26Speaker 2: really really hard to pass tonight, maybe take a shot
- 12:29Speaker 2: on old Ryan Pries, Bubba Wallace and Chris Bell up next,
- 12:33Speaker 2: Bubba looked decent in practice middle of the road. Nothing
- 12:36Speaker 2: right home about Sea Bell we spoke about earlier, no
- 12:40Speaker 2: issues with Sea Bell. Brad Kay and Joey Logano up next.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Brad Kay looked real good in practice at only seventy
- 12:48Speaker 2: five hundred. I don't love the fact that he was
- 12:52Speaker 2: in group A for practice, but he backed that up
- 12:54Speaker 2: with a decent qualified run, So perhaps bad Brad has
- 12:59Speaker 2: speed tonight. If you want to take the gamble, go ahead.
- 13:03Speaker 2: If you don't want to take the gamble. I completely
- 13:05Speaker 2: understand Joey Logano. We spoke about him already, fantastic and
- 13:09Speaker 2: long run practice, fantastic at short flats. Seems like he
- 13:14Speaker 2: picked the speed up these past couple of weeks. Would
- 13:16Speaker 2: not be surprised to see him up in around the
- 13:18Speaker 2: front tonight. He was leading the race in twenty twenty
- 13:22Speaker 2: four with Canon Ball. Austin Dyllon came through and threw
- 13:26Speaker 2: smashed him out of the way and then right hooked
- 13:28Speaker 2: Hamblin out of the way for his victory. So would
- 13:31Speaker 2: not be surprised to see Logano win tonight. Connor Zilich,
- 13:34Speaker 2: John Hunternibachek Zilich had okay practice speeds. So he's hurt
- 13:43Speaker 2: and burned us so so much this season so much,
- 13:49Speaker 2: But he's cheap and if he can stay where he
- 13:55Speaker 2: is because you know, clean airs, king passings, hard type
- 13:59Speaker 2: of thing, maybe ends up being a good play. Am
- 14:02Speaker 2: I probably going to play him? Probably not? Should he
- 14:06Speaker 2: be consideration for GPPs? I would consider him for GPPs.
- 14:10Speaker 2: John Hunter, I only have much interest to not look
- 14:12Speaker 2: great in all aspects of practice, So probably no for me,
- 14:16Speaker 2: dog for him. Chase Elliott, Sure, if you want to
- 14:20Speaker 2: play Chase Elliott, go ahead. Only eighty seven hundred for
- 14:22Speaker 2: Chase Elliott, which is kind of cheap, so sure. Denny
- 14:25Speaker 2: Hamlin if I wrote this in the slate plan, so
- 14:29Speaker 2: I'll say it here as well. If it's not going
- 14:31Speaker 2: to be and this is my opinion, if it's not
- 14:33Speaker 2: going to be Blaney or Logano today, it's gonna be
- 14:36Speaker 2: Denny because this is Denny's home race track. And if
- 14:40Speaker 2: you remember, in the offseason, Denny's family had a hell
- 14:43Speaker 2: of a tragedy with his mother and father's residence catching
- 14:46Speaker 2: on fire and his father lost his life because of
- 14:50Speaker 2: that fire. Now, his father did have health issues as
- 14:54Speaker 2: well at the same time, but you know fire right
- 14:58Speaker 2: this weekend at Richmond. Richmond Raceway dedicated like two seats.
- 15:04Speaker 2: It's like like the Hamlin family section or something did
- 15:08Speaker 2: something really really really nice for Denny and Denny's mom
- 15:12Speaker 2: and Denny's late father, et cetera. So the hometown portion
- 15:18Speaker 2: of this is into play. Paired with the fact that
- 15:22Speaker 2: of the tragedy they had in the off season, paired
- 15:25Speaker 2: with the fact that Denny Hamlin is one of the
- 15:28Speaker 2: fastest cars week in and week out and he is
- 15:31Speaker 2: fantastic at Richmond, leads me to believe if it's not
- 15:35Speaker 2: going to be one of those two Penske boys, it's
- 15:36Speaker 2: going to be Denny, just because Denny has a little
- 15:39Speaker 2: bit more race for today than everybody else, just because
- 15:41Speaker 2: of how many Hamlin and family members are are and
- 15:45Speaker 2: will be in attendance, and because they dedicated everything or
- 15:49Speaker 2: that those seats are section or whatever to his parents
- 15:53Speaker 2: this past week. So if you like and go with
- 15:56Speaker 2: the narrative style of things, I think Denny will be
- 16:00Speaker 2: we sat on kilm today and do anything he can
- 16:03Speaker 2: to win this race. Next up is a j Ollmendinger
- 16:06Speaker 2: in Austin Dillon. The dinger has been oppressive more than
- 16:10Speaker 2: once this season, so I really can't count him out
- 16:14Speaker 2: for giving us good fantasy points. I just wish he
- 16:16Speaker 2: was starting at the back. Austin Dylan is the interesting one.
- 16:20Speaker 2: If you remember back at twenty twenty four, two years ago,
- 16:24Speaker 2: he was having a fantastic race at Richmond, was dominating
- 16:28Speaker 2: it until the late stages where Denny Joey Logano took
- 16:33Speaker 2: the lead off of a restart well I think it
- 16:38Speaker 2: was the final restart Greenwhy Checker or something like that.
- 16:42Speaker 2: But on that or during that eighty three old Austin
- 16:48Speaker 2: Dylan just absolutely just just shoved and drove Logano directly
- 16:54Speaker 2: into the wall. And then when that happened, Denny Hamlin
- 16:58Speaker 2: snuck underneath him and Dylan was like, not so fast.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Dylan cut right or cut to the left and hooked
- 17:06Speaker 2: him into the wall hard so to make sure he
- 17:11Speaker 2: got the victory. NASCAR did not like that. He's still
- 17:17Speaker 2: they strike that reverse that. NASCAR did not like the
- 17:21Speaker 2: moves Ady three made that day and ended up letting
- 17:25Speaker 2: him keep the win, kept the win, but they took
- 17:29Speaker 2: everything else away, like he wasn't eligible for the playoffs.
- 17:32Speaker 2: He wasn't this, he wasn't that. They really put the
- 17:35Speaker 2: boots to him. Last year he led one hundred and
- 17:39Speaker 2: seven laps in a clean, dominating victory. So that's back
- 17:43Speaker 2: to back victories at Richmond for Austin Dylan, which is
- 17:46Speaker 2: not something you say normally on a NASCAR Cup season.
- 17:49Speaker 2: So what does that mean for us today? Well, he
- 17:51Speaker 2: didn't look the greatest in practice, so that's already a
- 17:55Speaker 2: but he qualified midpack sixteenth and he had has been
- 18:00Speaker 2: really good here. The thing is, RCR really hasn't set
- 18:04Speaker 2: the orld on fire this year. So is he gonna
- 18:11Speaker 2: do it again? I'd be stunned. I'd be stunned. I'd
- 18:16Speaker 2: be stunned. Is he worth a look? Yes? Do I
- 18:18Speaker 2: think he's gonna lead one hundred plus en route to
- 18:20Speaker 2: victory today? I don't know, just because of how strong
- 18:24Speaker 2: and Pansake and Joe Gibbs have been, but anything can
- 18:26Speaker 2: happen in this world of NASCAR, so you never know.
- 18:29Speaker 2: You have to consider him because he is a two
- 18:31Speaker 2: times the past two times he won this race. So
- 18:35Speaker 2: and in my opinion, RCR probably has had this race
- 18:39Speaker 2: circled on their schedule for a really long time, considering
- 18:42Speaker 2: how good they've done here in these past two years.
- 18:44Speaker 2: They need a spark to really lighten up, to brighten
- 18:47Speaker 2: up their season since the passing of Kyle, so would
- 18:51Speaker 2: not surprise me to see them do whatever it takes
- 18:53Speaker 2: to ensure Ady three has a solid day today. Next up,
- 18:57Speaker 2: Riley Herbs no interest there. Ross Chastain looked good in practice,
- 19:02Speaker 2: is also really trying to find any spark to his season.
- 19:05Speaker 2: I don't mind taking a chance on him. Chris Pusher,
- 19:08Speaker 2: I feel like is always safe with our with our
- 19:11Speaker 2: fantasy dollar. I don't feel like he I never feel
- 19:16Speaker 2: shook when I add Chris Pusher to the lineup. I'm like,
- 19:19Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I don't really have a like
- 19:23Speaker 2: a Ricky Stenhouse. If I put Ricky Stenhouse in the lineup,
- 19:27Speaker 2: I'm like, Oh. Busher is like, oh he's Buscher. It's safe.
- 19:30Speaker 2: So I have no problem taking a chance on Busher.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Suarez and Eric Jones up next. Swar has has had
- 19:35Speaker 2: surprising speed all season long and look good in practice. Uh,
- 19:40Speaker 2: so I have no chance. I have no problem taking
- 19:41Speaker 2: a chance on Miamigo. Eric Jones has had a couple
- 19:44Speaker 2: of bright spots this season as well. I don't mind
- 19:46Speaker 2: taking a shot on him. Host of Art sindrichost of
- 19:50Speaker 2: ars fast all season long. Give me host of Ar, Cindric,
- 19:54Speaker 2: Team Penske. He is the furthest starting Team Penske prepared forward.
- 20:00Speaker 2: I believe just because of that, he will see decent
- 20:02Speaker 2: ownership today. It sometimes seems like he's always the odd
- 20:09Speaker 2: one now, like if you're considering Team Penske to be Blainey, Logano,
- 20:14Speaker 2: Cindric and Barry on these stylar race tracks, it always
- 20:18Speaker 2: seems like Sindric qualifies the deepest of the four. So
- 20:22Speaker 2: we'll be interesting to see how he does the rest
- 20:25Speaker 2: of the night tonight. Because it's practice did look really good.
- 20:28Speaker 2: His car should be prepared the same they were in
- 20:30Speaker 2: the same meetings, et cetera, et cetera. So like in
- 20:34Speaker 2: all he should have a good day today, but that
- 20:38Speaker 2: remains to be seen. Zant Smith and Alex Bowman up next.
- 20:41Speaker 2: Sant Smith. I have zero interest in Alex Bowman. I
- 20:43Speaker 2: have zero interest in Bowman just he's a lame duck.
- 20:48Speaker 2: I'm really surprised they're keeping him in the car all
- 20:51Speaker 2: next season. He's sixty seven hundred and he's a Hendrick
- 20:55Speaker 2: Motorsports driver. Tells you all you need to know. Uh,
- 21:00Speaker 2: gillan Land and wait, wait what I miss?
- 21:02Speaker 1: Uh?
- 21:03Speaker 2: Zaine Smith, Alex Bowman, Zane Smith, No, Alex Bowman, No,
- 21:06Speaker 2: Mike Mack. He looked decent in practice, But I just
- 21:09Speaker 2: I don't know he's he's he's he always seems like
- 21:11Speaker 2: much like when I said Austin Chinzick seems to be
- 21:14Speaker 2: the slow, slow one of teen Penske. It seems like
- 21:18Speaker 2: Mike mac is the slow one of Spire. So he
- 21:21Speaker 2: looked good in practice. I don't know how much I'm
- 21:23Speaker 2: gonna get of him today in the slates. Todd gillen Land.
- 21:28Speaker 2: It's Gilly. I don't love his practice speeds. I don't
- 21:31Speaker 2: love really much about anything of him on the stone,
- 21:34Speaker 2: but it's Gilly. I consider him kind of safe, like
- 21:37Speaker 2: I do Chris Busher safe. So no issues there. Stenhouse
- 21:40Speaker 2: and Cole Custer no for me, No for me? And
- 21:42Speaker 2: the chalk is up next Larson sug and Tyler Reddick
- 21:48Speaker 2: Uh Larson. Now, these three drivers were in Group A
- 21:52Speaker 2: practice and then qualified early as well. Larson looked good
- 21:56Speaker 2: in Group A practice. A's across the board has He's
- 22:00Speaker 2: had a really, really, really successful week in a sprint car.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Those two have nothing to do with one another, minus
- 22:08Speaker 2: the fact that Larson has won a lot already this week.
- 22:13Speaker 2: I think that really boosts Larson's mood when he comes
- 22:17Speaker 2: into a Cup race and he's already won like four
- 22:20Speaker 2: races for like close to seventy five grand altogether. So
- 22:24Speaker 2: I don't love the fact that he's starting so deep
- 22:27Speaker 2: and like passing is so hard in this next GENI car.
- 22:32Speaker 2: But he should should give us a good day today,
- 22:37Speaker 2: and if he doesn't, I hope he rerecks out early
- 22:39Speaker 2: and he gets his ass back to Kdocksville. But Cup
- 22:41Speaker 2: Series is more important, especially for us for our fantasy
- 22:44Speaker 2: dollar hard hard and long day ahead for young money.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Let's let's see what he can do. Shaneman Gisbergen has
- 22:52Speaker 2: been impressive on the Ovals this season, in my opinion,
- 22:55Speaker 2: way way way better than I thought he'd be this season.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Sixty four looked okay in practice. Besides Reddick, I think
- 23:05Speaker 2: he is in the best car. Yeah, I would say that,
- 23:11Speaker 2: besides Reddick, he's in the best car that's all the
- 23:13Speaker 2: way back here, so and he's cheap at sixty four hundred,
- 23:16Speaker 2: So I have no problems with SVG red Dog. He's
- 23:20Speaker 2: bees across the board. He look good in practice. It
- 23:22Speaker 2: sounds like sometimes he struggles one of these short flat tracks,
- 23:26Speaker 2: but still you can't like if you're playing cash games
- 23:29Speaker 2: like he's an automatic click in my opinion. If you're
- 23:32Speaker 2: playing tournaments, maybe he's the one you want to pivot
- 23:35Speaker 2: off of. Not saying that for sure, but I think
- 23:39Speaker 2: I think a very chalky start of all lineups that
- 23:41Speaker 2: they are gonna be Blainey, Larson, SVG, and Reddick. I
- 23:45Speaker 2: think if you pivot off of one of those three
- 23:48Speaker 2: chalky guys in the back, that could be the difference
- 23:50Speaker 2: between shipping a solo shipper or chopping it like seventy
- 23:54Speaker 2: seven ways. So I like those three guys as well,
- 23:57Speaker 2: but I do think you could pivot off of them
- 23:59Speaker 2: and not be too concerned. And then the back Austin Hill. No, sorry,
- 24:04Speaker 2: ty Dylan. If you're looking for no, I'm gonna take
- 24:10Speaker 2: that back. Yeah. Actually, if you're looking for like super
- 24:14Speaker 2: cheap play, I don't mind. Ty Dylan. Practice looked okay.
- 24:18Speaker 2: I don't think he's a tenth like a true tenth
- 24:23Speaker 2: place fastest car the ten lap average. I just think
- 24:25Speaker 2: you know how everything shook out. But Dinger has oppressed
- 24:30Speaker 2: some this year, and he's in the same equipment as
- 24:33Speaker 2: tie So and Tye's brother Austin does fantastic here. So
- 24:38Speaker 2: if you're looking for reasons to save some money and
- 24:42Speaker 2: you need a super cheap driver to click on, I
- 24:45Speaker 2: don't mind ty Dylan, even though I'm not really considering
- 24:48Speaker 2: him in play. Austin Hill know Noah Gregson. He looks
- 24:53Speaker 2: slow all across the way, and I was stunned he
- 24:56Speaker 2: signed a new contract with front Row to drive next
- 24:58Speaker 2: year as well. I thought for sure he was going
- 25:02Speaker 2: to be out looking for a ride and they bring
- 25:04Speaker 2: lane rigs up. I don't know why they didn't. Maybe
- 25:09Speaker 2: they know something I don't. I'm sure they do, They're
- 25:12Speaker 2: working on this stuff all day, but I don't know.
- 25:14Speaker 2: I didn't see any reason why. I know it Gregson
- 25:17Speaker 2: should have a contract extension, and then Josh Bulicki and
- 25:22Speaker 2: Cody Ware no and no. So all right, that's it
- 25:26Speaker 2: for me for today. It is nine forty three as
- 25:29Speaker 2: I'm about to click the end on this button, and
- 25:31Speaker 2: as of now, no drivers have been sent to the rear,
- 25:33Speaker 2: but I'm not really expecting that information to come out
- 25:36Speaker 2: until much later on. Anyway, throughout the day, so any
- 25:39Speaker 2: questions for me, as always, please feel free to hit
- 25:42Speaker 2: me up on Discord. I am about to go to
- 25:45Speaker 2: some errands and then settle in for a long day
- 25:48Speaker 2: of race watching, starting with the Knoxville Nationals, ending with
- 25:52Speaker 2: the Knoxville Nationals with a NASCAR Cup race there in
- 25:55Speaker 2: the middle. So good luck at all your slates today.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Any questions peaceful for you, don't reach out to me
- 26:00Speaker 2: and ask and as always, let's ship it
- 27:02Speaker 1: Anything and then the s
