  Speaker 1: Technology Raceway. Folks, today there are 240 laps on deck,

  Speaker 1: which should equal out to roughly 168 dominator points. I'm
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: recommending at least two, two potential dominators per lineup. Let's
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: go here. Share this tab. There we go. There we go.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Let me mute myself while I cough. Oh, what did
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I do? I messed up. I messed up. Did I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: close my tab? Oh, I'm full screen Jones. One second.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: What did I do? What did I do? What did
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I do? NASCARstoned.pdf. Open with Microsoft Edge. And I'm going
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to share screen. Guys, you get to see my dark
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: basement at 5.15 in the morning. Isn't that exciting? Here
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we go. NASCARstoned. Bango. Hey, we're back. What was I saying?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: This week, once again, the NASCAR Cup Series is headed
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to Worldwide Technology Raceway, which gateway for the Enjoy Illinois 300.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: There are 240 laps on deck for us on Sunday afternoon,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: which should equal out to roughly 168. Dominar points up
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: for grabs, and I am recommending two, at least two,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: potential dominators per lineup. I've got to be honest with you, folks.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: There's not much to talk about this week. A, Worldwide
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Technology Raceway, or Gateway. I'm just going to call it
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Gateway from here on out. Sorry if the good folks
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: at WWRT are watching. It's really a long racetrack name.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: It doesn't flow well off the tongue. Gateway works much
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: better for what we're doing here today. Gateway is a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: short flack racetrack, not exactly the most exciting track on
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the schedule. Pair that with week one of the NFL
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: being here, I don't think a lot of television eyes
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: will be on the race today, which also means not
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the greatest DraftKings contests in the world, so. Yeah, welcome
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to NASCAR season. Wild football is here, but we still
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: have nine more weeks, and we will be here for
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: them all at chipandnation.com. First and foremost, they ran a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: 50-minute practice session on Saturday with all drivers on the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: track at the same time. No more of this group BS.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And besides a couple outliers, pretty much the drivers who
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: we would think would be in and around the top
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of the boards were in and around the top of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the boards. Uh, who's number one here? Christopher Bell. Yeah.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Christopher Bell topped the 30 lap average. This is a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: track where long run speeds will matter. So see bell
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: on top of the boards, Joey Logano second, um, again,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Penske King of short flat race tracks, right? So not
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: surprising to see that. Um, Kyle Larson was seventh. Uh,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Ryan Blaney was six, uh, Denny Hamlin was third. Pretty
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: much every driver you would anticipate being up near the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: front of the field of this thing practiced up near
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the front of this thing on Saturday. And the same
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: shook out for qualifying. Pretty much everybody we anticipated up
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: near the front of the field, or rather who should
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: be starting up near the front of the field, are
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: starting up near the front of the field. We have
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Logano and Blaney. Starting first and third, they are the kings,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: and they meaning Team Penske, they're the kings of short
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: flat racetracks, and that's what this is. So the fact
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that they are excellent at short flat racetracks, and then
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: they went and put it on the pole in third
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: place respectively, could be a long day if you're a
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Penske hater. Other than that, the only real qualifying outliers,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: in my opinion... would be Gilliland and SVG. They both
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: practice pretty well. Uh, Gilly was in the top 10
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: minus the 15, the 15th laps. He was 12th. That's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: still pretty good for Gilly. Uh, he qualified 34th and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: then SVG was also up near the top. He was
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: in the top 15 of every practice category and he
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: qualified 35th. So, Those are really only your two qualifying outliers.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And really, in my opinion, they're not really even qualifying outliers.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: If you saw them qualified back there and you didn't
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: see the attached practice, you wouldn't be too surprised, right?
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't be like, oh, okay, they're starting in the back.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: It just so happens that this week they had decent
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: practice to go along with it. So other than that,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: practice was kind of ho-hum. Qualifying was kind of ho-hum,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and I kind of think the race is going to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: be ho-hum as well. Look, I understand. And this is
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: from a NASCAR. This is nothing to do with gambling.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I understand that it's the week one of the NFL
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and like you can't compete with that. Right. I get it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Everyone understands that. Right. But I feel really feel like
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you're giving up entirely when you put Gateway. up against
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: week one of the NFL. I don't anticipate a barn
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: burner today, folks, if you're trying to get what I'm saying.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a boring one.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: But anyway, let's go ahead and break down this potentially
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: boring race of the starting lineup. And we are starting.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Let me move my PDF in front of me so
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I can see better. And let me just make sure
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not showing you guys everything. I'm not. Perfect. All right,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: starting on the poll, we have Joey Logano, as we
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: already spoke about. He's plus 425 on the, these top
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: four are far and away the best odds on the book.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Logano's plus 425, Larson's 650. He's the highest odds of
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the top four, plus 650. Blaney plus 350, and the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Seabell plus 375. Those four are far and away your favorites.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: And then you have Denny, also at 650, who's in 10th, so.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Those four, those five, far and away your favorites today.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Starting on the front row, though, like I said, is
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Joey Logano and Kyle Larson. Logano was fantastic in all
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: forms of practice. He's fantastic in every ranking. He really,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: from going from slow Logano to start the year to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: where we're at now with Joey Logano is amazing. This
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: is amazing. So is he a threat to win today? Absolutely.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: He does have very high projected ownership. I'm not sure
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: if he's worth that high of a projected ownership. I'm
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: not sure if any driver's ever worth that high projected ownership.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, he's set up for a smashing day today.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Young Money Larson is in second. We're still waiting for
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: him to have a dominating performance this season. Starting outside pole,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: If he gets the jump on Lugano, clean air, that's great.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: He could dominate stage one. I just think it's really
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: hard with Team Penske and Joe Gibbs Racing surrounding him.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: But he can't count him out. He has been trending
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: upward lately. We're just waiting for him to do it, right?
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Blaney and LaBelle. Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell in row two.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: We already basically spoke on both of these drivers, both
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of them A pluses across the board. Blaney was first, first, first, second, second, first,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: sixth in all aspects of practice. That's not surprising. Bell
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: was 12th, sixth, fourth, first, first, second, first. It really
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: seems like C. Bell's car is great on the long runs.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: And it seems like Blaney's car is really good everywhere.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Would not be surprised to see these two plus Logano
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: stinking up the show on Sunday afternoon. This isn't just
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a few hours. Row three, Chase Briscoe and Carson Hosovar.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: No issues with Briscoe. Briscoe was kind of slow in
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: all facets of practice, but it's Joe Gibbs Racing. they're fast.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: They went and did a fifth place qualifying run. Uh,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: do I anticipate him getting a lot of ownership? No,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: but is he a GPP play for sure? A host
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of ours, public enemy. Number one, he looked really good
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: in like mid run practice, six, second, third, third, third. Uh,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and that those thirds were in the 10, 15 and 20.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So decent in mid run practice, uh, not so great
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: over the 30 lap average, uh, The big thing with
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Jose Var is everybody hates him right now. That, and
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: by everybody, I mean like, it seems like 35 drivers
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: on the racetrack. That stuff with Kozlowski last week, in
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: my opinion, is such a nothing burger. Like, oh my God,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a driver got spun at Darlington. The horror, the horror,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the horror. I've seen that happen for, God, I'm almost
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: 40 years old. I've seen that happen for many years.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: It doesn't impact me. It's not like Josevar put Keselowski
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: straight into the wall. None of that, right? It's been
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: a talking point all week in NASCAR media. We've got
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: the owner of Spire saying if Keselowski takes out his
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: chase driver then he has other drivers who can make
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: out like their drivers. Like it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: it's stupid. It's a pissing match. It's dumb. Do I
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: think host of our is going to get dumped today? No,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I don't. I think everybody's all talk, but it has
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: been a talking point this whole week. It will be
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a talking point in the pre-race leading up to the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: race today. Maybe you stay away from Jose Var today
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: just because you don't want to see your DFS fantasy
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: money get punted into the wall because he's a driver
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: with a personality. Right? So, yeah, I don't know. Like,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I would probably roll the dice on Jose Var because
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: he's very budget-friendly. His power rankings don't look great, but
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: he's a rookie, so they're not going to look great
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: because there's not much data there. And the practice looks okay,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: but with everything else surrounding him, I think it might
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: be a fade. Up next, we have Bubba Wallace and
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Chase Elliott. I'm okay with either one. Elliott looked actually
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: really good in practice. He has great track ranking. He's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: getting hardly any ownership which I don't quite understand. He
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: hasn't been having the greatest year, but when you have
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: an eight plus for track rank and you're like top
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: 10 on the practice charts that matter, why wouldn't you
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: get ownership, right? Bubba Wallace, Bubba Wallace, middle of the road,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: probably a fade for me today in him. I just
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: don't understand why Bubba's getting more, I mean, only by
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: two potential percent than Chase. I think Chase Elliott should
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: get a bit more steam than that. You have Joe
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Gibbs' teammates, Ty Gibbs and Denny Hamlin. Ty Gibbs did
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: not look great at all. That doesn't change me from
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: playing him. I'm just not sure how much or how
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: many we'll get to a $ 9, 200 ninth place Ty Gibbs
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: with all of our other options. But if you want
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: to go that route, hey, he's been fast all season.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Denny Hamlin, fantastic. Third in the 30-lap average, starting 10th.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Potential Dom upside plus PD upside. No problem with Denny
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Hamlin today. Alex Bowman and Zane Smith, they are both
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: no for me dogs. They both qualified their speed. I
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: expect both of these guys to drop back. Sindrick and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Ryan Preece, I'll take a shot on both. Sindrick is
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: in that Team Penske category along with Logano and Blaney and, well,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Josh Berry. So, yes, give me a shot on Sindrick.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: And Priest. Priest is almost becoming an every-week player pool
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: player for me. It's better when he qualifies where we
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: need him to be, which 14th today, I'm fine with it. Yeah,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I'll take a shot on Priest. Mi amigo Daniel Suarez
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: in 15th, probably not for me today. He did great
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: for us. God, last week, was it last week? There's
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of racing in my life, folks. He's done
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: great for us when we don't expect it numerous times
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: this season. I just don't think today is going to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: be one of those days, but I've been wrong before.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Starting in 16th is Josh Berry. Yeah, he's on a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: heater lately. He's on these short flat racetracks. It announced
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: that he's going to be in the legacy car that
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: John Hunter got fired from recently. All things are coming up.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Josh Berry. I will say it is amazing how we've
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: regret how shitty he was in the beginning of the season.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: It's like you take him the racetracks that he should
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: be good at and he's good. Amazing. So anyways, is
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: he worth an open ride? I don't know. We'll see
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: when he sucks at the beginning of the season next year,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: what people say, but that doesn't change today. Josh Berry,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: excellent play today. He does carry some ownership, though, with
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: excellent playability. Projected over 30% ownership right now at 7,900
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: starting 16th. I don't love that, but the speed's there,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the price is right, so that's why. The Dinger in 17th,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: probably not for me today. Tyler Reddick in 18th, I'll
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: take a shot on Red Dog for sure. uh 9500
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: and i don't love that but hey he's starting 18th
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: connor zilich no um i think it's just track house
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: which sucks because one of my favorite places we get
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: deeper in here is a track house play but It
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: really doesn't seem like Trackhouse has it right now. Are
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: they going to find it? I don't know, but it's
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: enough for me to fade on Zilich today. Chastain, I'll probably,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I have him down as a potential GPP play just
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: because of how he ranks out here at Gateway, but
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: if you're looking for someone to fade and you want
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: a reason to be like, the team has just been
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: slow lately, then maybe Ross is that player to fade today.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: And it just, they just track houses searching. They're searching, uh,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Chris pusher 21st. Uh, sure. Uh, he did not look
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: great at all in practice, but, uh, he's a driver
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: that doesn't really, uh, those numbers never really scare me
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: for him. Cause he's just a talented race car driver. So,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: He'll figure it out if he hasn't already. So I'll
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: take a shot at Chris Buescher if I get to him.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Probably going to pass on Austin Dillon. The second half
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: of Josevar versus Kozlowski is, of course, Brad Kozlowski. He
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: starts 23rd. Everybody... So I spoke about Josevar and how
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: everybody hates Josevar. Well, it seems like everyone hates Josevar
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: after his incident with one Brad Kozlowski. And everyone thinks
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: that Brad Kozlowski is the one that's going to be
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: extracting revenge on Carson Hosovar and whatever. If we don't
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: want to play, and I'm not saying we, as in
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I'm recommending you do this, but if you're considering not
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: playing Carson Hosovar based off of the potential of other
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: drivers wrecking him today, which is a high likelihood. If
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you're making that decision, then you should probably think about
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that with Kozlowski as well, because Kozlowski currently is like
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the number one headhunter, so to speak. Like, like he's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: the one that said at the end of his race
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: last week, he has one coming and he has like
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: a hard one coming or something like that. So the
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: talking point has been, Well, Carson Josevar is, for lack
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: of a better word, a terrorist on the racetrack. And
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Brad Keselowski is finally going to be the one to
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: snuff that out. If he snuffs that out today and
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: he does it too hard, he could very easily ruin
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: his own day. Right? It ain't like Brad Keselowski has
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: anything to race for. Like, yeah, he's the owner, but
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: he's not in the playoffs. He's not going to vault today.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: multiples drivers to get into like a greater point standing
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: so like if keselowski does extract revenge today you almost
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: have to be sure or be hopeful that he does
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: it without wrecking himself right like like like as crazy
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: as it sounds if if keselowski does something stupid it
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: ain't like he can't wreck hosovar but then also in
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the process of doing that break a toe link You
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, can we, can we project
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: that happening? No, we can't. But it's been a storyline
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: all week. Like, trust me, if you were not anywhere
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: near the NASCAR media sphere, which trust me, I don't
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: blame you if you aren't, but it has been like
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: beating the dead horse all week long. So, If you
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: don't want to play Jose Var based off the possibility
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: of Keselowski and or another driver dumping him, maybe you
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: keep away from Keselowski as well just to stay away
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: from that mess altogether. Keselowski does give you plays differential
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: upside dough, which is the right. So just some food
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: for thought. William Byron in 24th. Hey, yeah, I love
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: me some Willie B. Uh, they're still looking for a,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: just any sign of life. Like, I don't know. It's just,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: it hasn't been a William Byron year. Um, even like now,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: like it hasn't been, um, like the, like the, the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: practice wasn't like killer, right? Like, you don't gotta like
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: go out of your way to play Willie B, but
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: he is getting some love today. Uh, Eric Jones and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Cole Custer, um, Both of them. This is like the
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: F territory of the stone, by the way. Eric Jones.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I like Eric Jones. He's talented, but he looked like
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: crap and he grades out like crap. So that's probably
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: a fade. Cole Custer. You're slow as dog. S that's
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: a fade. Austin Hill. No, I'm sorry. Just no. John
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Hunter Nemechek. He's hunting for a ride and I don't
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: think he's going to find it today. Sorry, John Hunter. God,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I want to make some jokes that I shouldn't make.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Michael McDowell in 29th. He's, I read something and I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: did some follow-up research and like Mike Mack has been
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: like getting into a lot of incidents is incidences lately.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: It's like all eyes go to Josef R. But Mike
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Mack's been dumping people too. So maybe it's just something
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: in the water over in Spire. I don't know. he's
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: getting a lot of decent love today. And I think
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: it's just because of how he grades in like recent form,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: track rank, track type rank, based off where he's starting.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: It's not like he jumps off the page in any
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: of those power rankings, but in a sea of red,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: there is some not so dark red, and there is
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: some greenish around his practice speeds. So if you want
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: to take the shot Go ahead. I understand why. Probably
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: going to be a fade for me, though. Cody Ware, fade.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Noah Gregson, I'll take a shot on. Guy saves the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: money somewhere. Has some positive juju going his way lately.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: He's currently dating John Lerniebich's ex-wife. So, hey, all things
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: going Noah. So, yeah, I'll go Noah Gregson. Ty Dillon
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and Riley Herbst, that's a no for me, dawg. Todd
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Gilliland and Shane Van Gisberg, and we spoke about those
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: boys earlier. They grade out like trash, but they had
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a really good practice, and they're cheap. So, yeah, for sure.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And lastly, but not leastly, is Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in 36.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: His practice was middle of the road. He was in
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the 20s in all aspects. He has a D- for
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: his track rank, and he starts dead last. if he
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: finishes top 20, top 15 today, that could be what
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: you need to put you over the top. Or is
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: it my time to go out of your way to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: play Ricky Stenhouse today? No, but probably should be in
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: your player pool. Anyway, that is it for me today.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Still at 27 minutes. I wasn't even watching the time.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Look at me go. Like I said, it is week
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: one of the NFL. So It's time for our NASCAR
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: contest to start dwindling a little bit, but we still
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: have nine weeks to go, and we will be with
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: you each and every step of the way. So good
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: luck in all of your contests today, and as always,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: let's ship it! We'll be right back.
