- 0:09Speaker 1: All system's gone clear we left off m Good morning,
- 0:42Speaker 1: and welcome to this weekend's a NASCAR quick hit here
- 0:45Speaker 1: for ship a Nation. I am Eric, also known as
- 0:49Speaker 1: the Game, and this morning we will be quickly overviewing
- 0:53Speaker 1: today's running of the Coca Cola six hundred.
- 0:56Speaker 2: But before.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Before we go into any of that, first and foremost
- 1:04Speaker 1: rest in peace.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Kyle Busch.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Kind of can't believe I'm still saying those words.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:12Speaker 1: I try not to let my NASCAR fandom ever interject
- 1:17Speaker 1: with the content I create here for ship a Nation.
- 1:23Speaker 1: But if you've been watching this content, listening to my content,
- 1:28Speaker 1: hearing me, we're reading me in discord, et cetera, it's
- 1:32Speaker 1: pretty obvious that I am a Kyle Busch fan. Was
- 1:35Speaker 1: am a Kyle Busch fan literally since he came into
- 1:40Speaker 1: the sport. Kurt came into the sport first, Kurt Busch's
- 1:44Speaker 1: older brother, and there was these rumblings that if you
- 1:46Speaker 1: think Kurt's fascist, way to you see Kyle, yeah and
- 1:53Speaker 1: fast Kyle was. I watched that man when so many
- 1:59Speaker 1: races in person, I watched him be the villain. I
- 2:03Speaker 1: watched him beloved in no way, shape or form. When
- 2:09Speaker 1: I saw the notification that he would not be racing
- 2:14Speaker 1: this weekend. Did I think that the next not vacation
- 2:18Speaker 1: I would receive that he has passed away. You we
- 2:24Speaker 1: hear a lot of people talk about this over the
- 2:26Speaker 1: next few days. I'm not going to keep going on
- 2:28Speaker 1: and on, but it sucks, really, really, really bad. I
- 2:35Speaker 1: feel for the kids, Lenox, Brexton, obviously, Samantha. Yeah, every
- 2:43Speaker 1: everybody's hurting over this. No one, no one expected expected
- 2:48Speaker 1: this at all. Had to bust out the old Kyle
- 2:51Speaker 1: Busch Motorsports hat that's quite dirty, but it was in storage,
- 2:56Speaker 1: and of course repping good old Kyle Kush getting covered
- 3:00Speaker 1: by microphone right now. So anyway, I can't keep talking
- 3:04Speaker 1: about this or I might break down. So let's go
- 3:06Speaker 1: on to the.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Running of.
- 3:10Speaker 1: NASCAR's most longest race of the season, the Coca Cola
- 3:15Speaker 1: six hundred, four hundred laps around Charlotte Motor Speedway equals
- 3:19Speaker 1: out to two hundred and eighty dominator points. That's like
- 3:23Speaker 1: short track dominator points at a mile and a half racetrack.
- 3:28Speaker 1: It's awesome. Weather has been the other main conversation of
- 3:34Speaker 1: the weekend. It's been rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain,
- 3:39Speaker 1: It rained out the truck race on Friday, it rain
- 3:44Speaker 1: shortened the NASCAR O'Reilly Series race. On Saturday, it rained
- 3:50Speaker 1: out again the truck Series race for Saturday and night
- 3:52Speaker 1: that's running literally right now, and it canceled NASCAR Cup
- 3:57Speaker 1: Series qualifying. So the star line up for today's race
- 4:01Speaker 1: was set by the matrix which were set by the
- 4:05Speaker 1: rule book rather, which is seventy percent of their last
- 4:11Speaker 1: finish and then thirty percent of where they are in points.
- 4:15Speaker 1: So since the last official points paying race was walking
- 4:18Speaker 1: Glenn was walking the glen, we have a couple of
- 4:21Speaker 1: crazy outliers starting at the back.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Here.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and pull up the stone. Where's the stone.
- 4:28Speaker 1: There's a stone boom. Like I said, four hundred laps,
- 4:31Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty dominated points up for grabs. Rain
- 4:36Speaker 1: is continuing to be a trend two day. It's like
- 4:40Speaker 1: a forty five to fifty chance of rain from like
- 4:42Speaker 1: the green flag start, which is like six o'clock Eastern time,
- 4:47Speaker 1: all the way through the end of the race. So
- 4:50Speaker 1: fingers crossed. There's a window there that they can get
- 4:52Speaker 1: it in. But I kind of have a feeling that
- 4:55Speaker 1: we're going to see some more rain delays tonight, hope not,
- 4:58Speaker 1: but I that feeling. As I mentioned, starting lineup was
- 5:02Speaker 1: set via the rule book, so we have Tyler Reddick
- 5:05Speaker 1: and Tide Gibbs starting on the front row, followed by
- 5:08Speaker 1: Shane Van Gisbergen and Michael.
- 5:10Speaker 2: McDowell in row two.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Remember how I said Watkins Glenn and their points, Well,
- 5:15Speaker 1: that's why SVG and Mike Mack are where they are.
- 5:20Speaker 1: They did run practice yesterday. Instead of having the normal
- 5:24Speaker 1: group practice that they normally do, they scrapped that idea
- 5:28Speaker 1: and had everybody on track at one time before but leave.
- 5:32Speaker 1: It was a forty minute, forty five minute, forty or
- 5:34Speaker 1: forty five minute practice session. It's good that these cars
- 5:39Speaker 1: saw on track time, especially after the heaviness of all
- 5:44Speaker 1: of the events leading up to this week or this weekend. Rather, however,
- 5:50Speaker 1: I'm not loving the data at all. The track was
- 5:57Speaker 1: as green and raw as can be, weather conditions were terrible,
- 6:04Speaker 1: just wasn't great, So I'm largely ignoring practice this week.
- 6:10Speaker 1: It's there if you want to use it, and it's
- 6:12Speaker 1: there that you can use it, and you can compare
- 6:14Speaker 1: everybody to each other since everybody was on track at
- 6:17Speaker 1: one time. However, I'm mostly sticking with just the recent
- 6:21Speaker 1: form track rank and track type ranks to build my
- 6:24Speaker 1: player pool. Because Charlotte is a mile and a half
- 6:28Speaker 1: track and we have saw plenty a mile and a
- 6:31Speaker 1: half racing last year and this year. Charlotte in the
- 6:35Speaker 1: past has only saw one oval race a year, so
- 6:38Speaker 1: the track type rank is only a track rank. Rather,
- 6:42Speaker 1: it is only a very small stample where the track
- 6:45Speaker 1: type rank includes all of the mile and a half racetracks. Thankfully,
- 6:50Speaker 1: Also this year there is no roval, so we get
- 6:53Speaker 1: to go to Charlotte twice this year.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Thank goodness.
- 6:55Speaker 1: So to no surprise, Tyler Reddick is on the poll.
- 6:59Speaker 2: And guess what.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Tyler Redick is fantastic at Charlotte Motor Speedway. As you
- 7:04Speaker 1: can tell by his plus five hundred odds and his
- 7:07Speaker 1: a pluses across the board, he is set to dominate
- 7:13Speaker 1: a large beginning portion of this race. Will he do it,
- 7:17Speaker 1: that remains to be seen. But he is fantastic at Charlotte.
- 7:21Speaker 1: He is fantastic at mile and a halfs and we
- 7:24Speaker 1: all know how fast that team has been all season.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Sam could go.
- 7:28Speaker 1: For Ty Gibbs, though, Ty Gibbs, while he doesn't have
- 7:30Speaker 1: the best track type rank. He has been fantastic recently
- 7:35Speaker 1: and fast all season for the most part. So if
- 7:41Speaker 1: something were who happened to Tyler Redick in the beginning
- 7:43Speaker 1: of the race, I would not all be surprised to
- 7:45Speaker 1: see ty Gibbs get that jump and lead a major
- 7:49Speaker 1: portion of this race. But I think the beginning part
- 7:52Speaker 1: of the race is Tyler Redicks to lose. Shane van
- 7:55Speaker 1: Gisbergen and Mike Mack starting in roll two, they will
- 7:59Speaker 1: both be healthy fades for me. I would love if
- 8:02Speaker 1: Shane van gisberg And has a fantastic day at the
- 8:05Speaker 1: Koke six hundred. This is, I believe the third or
- 8:07Speaker 1: fourth time he's raced at Charlotte, and he seems to
- 8:10Speaker 1: be getting better and better and better at these racetracks
- 8:12Speaker 1: that he's visited multiple times. However, I don't think he's
- 8:16Speaker 1: third place fast and he'll probably drop like an anchor
- 8:20Speaker 1: to midpack, so he's a no for me. Michael McDowell,
- 8:24Speaker 1: he's fast, he's in good equipment, but he hasn't shown
- 8:26Speaker 1: the best speed at these mile and a half racetracks,
- 8:29Speaker 1: even though his practice speeds would tell you otherwise. He's
- 8:32Speaker 1: probably a healthy fade. For me, Chase brisco and Ryan Blaney.
- 8:35Speaker 1: They are in my dominator sections. Chase Briscoe fast, JG R. Toyota.
- 8:40Speaker 1: We know he can dominate if he gets there. Same
- 8:44Speaker 1: with Brian Blaney. Blaney not the best at the mile
- 8:49Speaker 1: and a half's, but he's been fast all seasons, so
- 8:52Speaker 1: he's definitely worth including in your playerpool.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Sam goes for Chris Buscher.
- 8:56Speaker 1: I did not include Chris Busher in the downpool, but
- 8:59Speaker 1: he is like a top five machine at these mile
- 9:01Speaker 1: and a half race tracks, So starting seventh, he probably
- 9:06Speaker 1: finished near there. Hopefully I had a couple spots, so
- 9:10Speaker 1: GPP plays. I think he's excellent. Austin Sindrick, He's just
- 9:13Speaker 1: gonna be a healthy fade for me. Austin Dylon. Look,
- 9:20Speaker 1: everybody's hearts is with RCR Racing, Richard Childern's racing this weekend,
- 9:26Speaker 1: but we are a gambling show and this is to
- 9:30Speaker 1: help make money. I can't see Austin Dylon finishing in
- 9:34Speaker 1: the top ten. If he does fantastic, I just I
- 9:40Speaker 1: can't see it happening.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Saying with the Dinger.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Dinger had some good runs here in the past, but
- 9:45Speaker 1: he just just doesn't even have speeding that car lately.
- 9:47Speaker 1: He's going to be a fade for me. Denny Hamlin
- 9:49Speaker 1: gave me gem me gee me gee me gee, me
- 9:51Speaker 1: gee me gimme. I love pairing up Reddick and Hamlin
- 9:55Speaker 1: and Byron once we get to him all the way
- 9:57Speaker 1: at thirty first. I love me Denny Hamlin today. Fortunately
- 10:01Speaker 1: he is the most expensive right eleven of five on DraftKings,
- 10:04Speaker 1: so that sucks. But he should be a fantastic play.
- 10:09Speaker 1: He's been fantastic all season and always in general, really
- 10:14Speaker 1: have been so fast this season, So love them both.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Ryan Priest, you will probably be a fade for me.
- 10:21Speaker 1: Austin Hill, who is taking over the wheel of the
- 10:24Speaker 1: Kyle Busch ride.
- 10:26Speaker 2: That's going to be a healthy fade for me.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Probably not the time to say this, but I'm gonna
- 10:32Speaker 1: say it anyways, because this is my show.
- 10:34Speaker 2: I wish they would have put Jesse Love in the car.
- 10:37Speaker 1: I understand that Austin Hill has next gen experience, but
- 10:42Speaker 1: I think Jesse Love is the better prospect, So I
- 10:45Speaker 1: wish they would have put in Jesse Love.
- 10:46Speaker 2: But hey, good.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Luck to Austin Hill today in what will be a
- 10:52Speaker 1: very emotional drive. Next up here, Daniel Sworrez and John Hunter.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Nibachek Swarez has shown speed all Sea, using not the
- 11:01Speaker 1: greatest though here at Charlotte, so he's probably gonna be
- 11:04Speaker 1: a healthy fade for me. John Hunter has a Toyota
- 11:07Speaker 1: underneath him, so that's a positive, but everything else about
- 11:10Speaker 1: him is a negative, so he's a pass. Chase Elliott, Yeah,
- 11:13Speaker 1: ninety seven hundred. He They were so slow at Watkins
- 11:18Speaker 1: Glenn that I really don't anticipate that happening again, even
- 11:22Speaker 1: though the practice numbers don't look the best. I did
- 11:25Speaker 1: say that I'm not looking or using practice. That's why
- 11:29Speaker 1: I'm ignoring it. So I will take a chance on
- 11:32Speaker 1: Chase Elliott at Charlotte tonight because it's Hendrick Motorsports Baby
- 11:37Speaker 1: Christopher Bell yep, I love me some Seabell if you
- 11:40Speaker 1: haven't noticed, I love Toyota's today. Give me a shot
- 11:45Speaker 1: for Chris Bell, especially because one spot behind him is
- 11:48Speaker 1: Kyle Larson at ten to five.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Hey, I love Larson.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Everyone knows that Cheves just don't seem to have it
- 11:56Speaker 1: so far this year. Now, could they find it today
- 12:00Speaker 1: and dominate in this entire thing? Absolutely? But if it's
- 12:04Speaker 1: Bell versus Larson, for me. I'll take the five hundred
- 12:07Speaker 1: dollars savings and go Bell. Zane Smith and Todd Gilliland.
- 12:10Speaker 1: They are absolutely in my player pool. In fact, one
- 12:13Speaker 1: of them is anchoring my single entry as of this
- 12:17Speaker 1: very second. Eric Jones and Cole Custer, they are both
- 12:20Speaker 1: nos for me. Dog Carson, Hostsavar and Bubba Wallace. Yep,
- 12:24Speaker 1: I like them both. Hussavar has shown speed here at
- 12:29Speaker 1: Charlotte in the past. He is fast. I would not
- 12:32Speaker 1: be surprised to see him in Victory Lane tonight. He
- 12:35Speaker 1: kid's good. Same for Bubba Wallace. He's in the same
- 12:38Speaker 1: equipment as Tyler Reddick. He has some heavy emotions on
- 12:43Speaker 1: his shoulders this week because Kyle Busch Momorsports gave him
- 12:46Speaker 1: his start in the truck Series. A lot of folks
- 12:49Speaker 1: don't remember that, so a lot of emotions for Bubba
- 12:52Speaker 1: this weekend.
- 12:52Speaker 2: He's in a.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Fast hot rod. I have no problem taking a chance
- 12:55Speaker 1: on him. Connor Zilich, I'm always gonna have him in
- 12:59Speaker 1: the place, just because I know the raw talent is there,
- 13:03Speaker 1: but it just hasn't been there altogether in the Cup
- 13:06Speaker 1: Series yet. Six hundred miles around Charlotte would be a
- 13:12Speaker 1: great time to find it, so he will be in
- 13:14Speaker 1: the player pool. But if he does not get into
- 13:16Speaker 1: my lineups, I won't be too broken hearted. Brad Keselowski
- 13:20Speaker 1: and Ross Chastain, I like them both. Brad Kay always
- 13:23Speaker 1: seems to do well at these marathon racetracks, chugging along.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Gimme gimme Ross Chastain.
- 13:29Speaker 2: I like it.
- 13:30Speaker 1: He won last year's race from I believe dead last,
- 13:33Speaker 1: so yeah, give you some Ross. Noah Gregson, he's been
- 13:37Speaker 1: slow all season. Probably no for me. Alex Bowman, Hey
- 13:43Speaker 1: Hendrick Mosports. Starting deep in the back and it's not
- 13:46Speaker 1: at a road course. I'll keep him in the player
- 13:48Speaker 1: pool for sure. Riley Herbs, Yes, gimme Riley Herbs twenty
- 13:55Speaker 1: three to eleven racing. He's in the same equipment as
- 13:58Speaker 1: Reddick and Bubba and he he has been getting better.
- 14:02Speaker 1: He's been getting better. Is he as good as his teammates?
- 14:06Speaker 1: Absolutely not. Could he get you with top fifteen? Absolutely
- 14:11Speaker 1: for fifty six hundred, Yes, give me Riley Herps. Love
- 14:15Speaker 1: Riley Herps today. William Byron, he's so chalky today, but
- 14:20Speaker 1: it's hard not to be when you're starting thirty first
- 14:22Speaker 1: and you're Willie B at Charlotte. He has fantastic here.
- 14:26Speaker 1: He dominated this race last year. My single entry right now,
- 14:30Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you the whole thing, but
- 14:31Speaker 1: it's Reddick, it's Hamlin, and it's Byron and Gilly or
- 14:36Speaker 1: Zane in there as well filled out.
- 14:39Speaker 2: So I love me some William Byron today.
- 14:42Speaker 1: However, for tournaments, if you want to pivot off of him,
- 14:46Speaker 1: I get it because he will be heavy chalk and
- 14:50Speaker 1: those chevies haven't been as fast as we normally see them.
- 14:54Speaker 1: So if you do want to fade, or maybe not fade,
- 14:57Speaker 1: go underweight or pivot off of Willy B, I totally
- 15:00Speaker 1: get it. But I'm sticking with the safe stuff for
- 15:03Speaker 1: me this week. Ricky Spinhouse, Yeah, hey, Kyle gave him
- 15:09Speaker 1: the nickname, so in that instance, I will keep him
- 15:12Speaker 1: in the player pool. He has shown decency here at Charlotte,
- 15:16Speaker 1: as you can tell by the C plus track rank. Now,
- 15:20Speaker 1: again that is a very small sample size, so take
- 15:24Speaker 1: it for what it's worth. But when you're trying to
- 15:26Speaker 1: jam in those studs, you need some cheapies. So Ricky Stenhouse,
- 15:30Speaker 1: come on down Logano in thirty third. He's getting a
- 15:34Speaker 1: lot of love today. He has boned us so much
- 15:39Speaker 1: this season, it just doesn't seem to have it. I
- 15:45Speaker 1: will keep him in the player pool and probably go
- 15:47Speaker 1: underweight because it seems like that team pulls it out
- 15:51Speaker 1: of their ass whenever you're released expecting it, and that
- 15:54Speaker 1: would be today, so you know whatever, But he's been slow,
- 16:00Speaker 1: and I'm not setting my whole bank roll on Joey
- 16:04Speaker 1: Logano finding that speed today. Josh Barry, I'm going to
- 16:07Speaker 1: pass on Ty Dylan. I'm going to pass on Timmy Hill.
- 16:10Speaker 1: I will pass on Catherine legg Hey badass that she's
- 16:14Speaker 1: doing the double or attempting the double. Rather, I'm still
- 16:20Speaker 1: not playing her today. I'm sorry, Kathy Cody Ware, that's
- 16:24Speaker 1: a no for me. Dog and last, but most certainly
- 16:27Speaker 1: not least, my probably favorite play of the slate, Corey
- 16:31Speaker 1: Heim Dead Last twenty three XI racing sixty nine hundred
- 16:36Speaker 1: dollars all the talent in the world.
- 16:40Speaker 2: I love time.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Is it going to be home time tonight? Probably not?
- 16:44Speaker 1: But is it going to be a heime top fifteen,
- 16:46Speaker 1: top ten day? Hopefully so? And starting from thirty ninth
- 16:49Speaker 1: at that price, it would be fantastic. So that's it
- 16:54Speaker 1: for me. Like I said, very quick video. If you're
- 16:58Speaker 1: familiar with me in the Discord. I just got back
- 17:00Speaker 1: from family vacation. We landed, not landed. We parked our
- 17:04Speaker 1: van from Florida roughly an hour ago. I took a
- 17:07Speaker 1: shower down here in the office. I can even make
- 17:09Speaker 1: this video, So I'm gonna wrap this baby up, probably
- 17:14Speaker 1: do a little ownership update because I feel like odds
- 17:17Speaker 1: might have shifted a little bit from when I did
- 17:19Speaker 1: this at three o'clock this morning, so I want to
- 17:21Speaker 1: quickly scan that. Um yeah, and that's it. If any
- 17:25Speaker 1: drivers are off to the rear, I will make sure
- 17:28Speaker 1: to alert the Discord, but as of now, there has
- 17:31Speaker 1: been no announcements, so good luck in your slates today.
- 17:35Speaker 1: There is a Formula one slate today as well before
- 17:38Speaker 1: the NASCAR slate, so if you want to get your
- 17:41Speaker 1: left and right hand dfs on, you can do that.
- 17:44Speaker 1: We don't cover that in Ship a Nation, but we
- 17:46Speaker 1: do talk about it in the NASCAR channel, so feel
- 17:48Speaker 1: free to bring those discussions in there. Good luck and
- 17:52Speaker 1: everything else, and once again, rest in peace, Rowdy Bush.
- 18:00Speaker 1: I still can't believe that anyway. Good luck, guys, and
- 18:04Speaker 1: we'll see you next week for another episode. Of the
- 18:07Speaker 1: NASCAR quick hit here for Shiva Nation and speed and
- 19:08Speaker 1: dispasserted
- 19:14Speaker 2: And the spe
