  Speaker 1: Let me go ahead and pull up this tab again
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: here boom, and let me get my notes. So open
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: up the wrong thing. Here we go. We have hit
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: week three of the NASCAR Cup Series season and this
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: week we are road course racing at the Circuit of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the America is located in Austin, Texas. This week we
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: have ninety five laps on deck, which should equal out
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to sixty six point five dominator points. Uh and this
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: weekend I am recommending playing at least one potential dominator
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: per lineup. So sixty six point five dominator points up
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: for grabs. Not a lot, not a lot, but we
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: should look for them, we should try to target them.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: So I am recommending at least one dominator play per lineup. Alrighty,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: let me go ahead and pull up the stone here
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and can I close anything out? Close that out, make
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it look a little bit better. There we go, right. Uh.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: No real exciting news or notes coming out of practice
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: this week uh. And as always, if you are using
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the practice data to help craft your player pool, I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: do recommend only comparing those drivers in Group A with
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: other drivers in Group A and vice versa. For those
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: drivers in Group B. It's likely not too big of
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a deal for this weekend since it is a road course.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Courses are massive. However, almost always group B gets better
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: track conditions than Group A because Group A goes out
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: there first, so they're getting you know, the unprepared, unrubbered
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in racetrack, unlike group B. So if you do use
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: practice data, I always recommend comparing Group A two Group
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: A and Group B two Group B. In the ever
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: longing quest to make these quick hit videos a bit
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: more quick hittable this weekend, I'm not doing a full
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: field rundown. Instead. If you want a full field rundown,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: join the nation ship at nation dot com. Of course,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I will have a slate plan with all of my
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: thoughts concerning this late and discord. You can ask me
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: about any single driver in this field in tonight's video,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I'm only gonna focus on a few of them and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: some notes concerning them. And first and foremost is the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: hottest driver in the NASCAR Cup Series circuit. And I'm
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: not just saying that because he's a fellow Redhead. First
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and foremost, that would be Tyler Reddick, the driver who
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: has won the last two NASCAR Cup Series events, is
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: now on the poll for race number three of the season.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And folks, this is no fluke. Let's not think Reddick
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: just you know, got lucky in this. Reddick is an
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: absolute dog when it comes to road course racing. In
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the four next Gen races at CODA, There's only been
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: four next Gen races at CODA five in total, four
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of them have been next Gen. Reddick has one victory,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: one second place finish, and four top fives, with an
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: average finish of three point five, which is a series
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: best at CODA. A ton of attention is going to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: be on Shane van Gisberg in this weekend, and for
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: good reason. However, make no mistake about it, Tyler Reddick
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: can absolutely win this race on Sunday and really should
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: surprise no one if he does. He is in the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: cap bird seat. He's priced reasonably in my opinion at
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: ninety five hundred. I love musing Red Dog on Sunday.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Next up, let's see here. All eyes may be on
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: SVG this weekend, and to some extent Connor Zilich. But
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: what about the third member of Team Trackhouse. Next up,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I want to touch on Old melon Man Ross Chastain,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: who starts second. Ross is not really a driver known
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: for his road course prowess. However, melon Man has ran
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: fantastic at Coda in the Next Gen era. Ross won
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: this race back in twenty twenty two and has an
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: average finish of sixth in the next Gen era, So
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Reddick's average finish with three point five Ross's is six
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: here at Coda. Ross had fantastic long run speed in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: practice and starts the race in second position. Can Ross
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: pass Reddick on the start? They're both really great at
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: starts and restarts, both I would say, or on the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: aggressive side of things on starts, So we'll be interesting
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to see if Ross can get the jump on Reddick
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: at the start. I think it's going to be quite difficult,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: but be interesting to see. Next on my list is
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: NASCAR's most popular driver, in Chase Elliott. Chase hasn't really
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: set the world on fire at CODA. He only has
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: three starts in the Next Gen Era. He missed one
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: due to injury I think back in twenty twenty three.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But in those three starts he has two fourth place
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: finishes alongside of a sixteenth place finish in twenty twenty four.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want to spend too much time on Elliott's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: pass results at CODA. They've been okay. However, I do
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: want to focus on his general road course racing prowess.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: In the Next Gen Era, he has twenty two road
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: course starts. He as in Chase Elliott, Powell has twenty
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: two road course starts, and in those twenty two starts,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: he has an average finish of ten and a half,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: including five top three finishes eleven top five finishes. Elliott
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: is a fantastic and extremely consistent road course racer, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: while he has not yet won one of those races
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in the Next Gen Era, early wouldn't surprise me if
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: he won. On Sunday, Elliott starts the Sunday's Race from
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the fifth starting physician. Next up is Christopher Bell, who
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: has an average finish of nine point three at CODA.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: But there's more to that average finish that meets the eye,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: because here have been his finish in the next Gen era.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: He finished first, which came in last year's race, he
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: finished second back in twenty twenty four. In twenty twenty three,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he got caught up in a very early accident and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: finished thirty first, and he finished third back in twenty
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: twenty two. If you take away the outlier thirty first
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: place finish that was from an accident, see Belle's average
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: CODA finish would be second. Compare that to Reddicks three
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and a half. So you have Reddick with a three
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and a half average finish at CODA and Bell, if
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you take away his one outlier with a second place
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: average finish at CODA. Let's see year I lost my
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: notes here. Bell wasn't the fastest in practice, as you
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: can tell on the stone. However, that doesn't scare me.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: In the slightest team, Oh Gibbs Racing will absolutely have
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: that Toyota prim and primed for Sunday's race. Do not
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: be surprised to see Sebell up towards the front by
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the end of the day on Sunday. Next up is
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: by far the odds on favorite to win this race,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and that would be Shane Van Gisbergen. SVG is a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: next level road course racer and is a threat to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: win quite literally any road course race he enters no
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: matter what car he drives. SVG, however, has not had
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: much success at CODA yet. In the Cup Series, he
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: only has two starts, and he started sixth and finished
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: sixth last year, and then in twenty twenty four he
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: started twelfth and finished twentieth. However, much like we did
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: for Chase Elliott, let's not focus on SVG's CODA history
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and instead focus on his just overall Cup Series road
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: course prowess. In twelve road course starts, SVG has an
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: average finish of seven point seven and has six wins. Folks,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: he has won quite literally half of the road course
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: races he has entered in the NASCAR Cup Series in
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: his very very young career. Plus, as of this recording,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: which peaked behind the curtain is Saturday night at eight
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: fifty two in between basketball games, he is plus one
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: twenty five to win from thirteenth starting position. Would it
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: surprise anyone to see SVG dog walk the field and
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: walk away with a thing on Sunday? Absolutely not. However,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I did mention a couple other very good drivers at CODA,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: so you never know any given Sunday. Right, let's see here.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Next up is my final driver, which will be SVG's teammate,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and of course that would be dos Wonda kid Connor Zilch.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm the only one calling him that. Someone in the
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: comments mentioned earlier if that was a shout out to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Alex Wright, you bet youa it is. Zilich is a
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: highly talented row course racer who's won just about every
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: race imaginable last year in the Infinity Series. This year,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Connor is a full time in the NASCAR Cup Series
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: and is making his second ever Cup start at CODA.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Last year, Zilich raced at Coda in the Cup Series
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and got caught up in a very early accident that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: left him with a thirty seventh place finish. As far
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: as this year goes well, that remains to be seen.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Zilich had fantastic speed in practice and it is currently
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: plus seven hundred to win from the twenty fifth place
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: starting position. Actually, that might have changed from when I
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: wrote that. Note. Yeah, plus six point fifty to win
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: from the twenty fifth place starting position. That's pretty great
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: from twenty fifth right, Much like Speed, I think Zilich
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: will be incredibly high owned because he gives you a
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: ton of place differential upside, which he could absolutely do.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It's not like you're taking a shot on you know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: like Riley Herbst coming from the thirties. Right, So Zilich
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: will be very highly owned, and for good reason will
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: will he show out on his second cup start at
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: coda That remains to be seen. Zillich rolls off the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: grid twenty fifth on Sunday. All right, Hey, that is
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: all the notes I have for now. I think this
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: was a success in making this quick hit video a
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: bit more quick hittable. As always, if you have any
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: questions concerning anything about this slate, please feel free to
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: hit me up on discord. I will be available to
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: answer any and all of your questions. I still have
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: some projections and ownership to craft, as well as a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: slate plan to finalize, so I'm going to wrap it
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: up while watching some UFC. Good luck in all of
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: your contests this weekend, and as always, let's ship it
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: most and mons and mounts, then stopped land and unsted,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and then still land and the side
