  Speaker 2: to yourself to do so. All right, back to the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: cookout four hundred at the Martinsville Speedway. As I mentioned,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: we are doing this quick this morning because I'm in
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a public library. I've been having internet issues at home
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: off and on, and right before I went to hit
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: record my WiFi, my FiOS went out again, so I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: didn't have time to miss around, so I quickly grabbed
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: my little podcast recorder my microphone, and I ran to
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the library. So shout out to the library. However, I
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: am sitting here in PJ pants in a hoodie talking
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: about NASCAR. So we're gonna make this quick this Sunday.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: There are four hundred laps on deck, which equal out
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to two hundred and eighty dominator points up for grabs
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: on DraftKings. We absolutely want to target those points. Two
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to three dominators today. This is the first true short
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: track of the season. Dominators will absolutely be needed to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: take down any tournaments. So two to three potential dominators
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: from there. Let me go ahead and actually pull up
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the stone. As I still have the logo up and
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: while it's a very lovely logo, we don't care too
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: much about it. I'm going to say stop the share
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: and that's going to do that. Now, I'm going to say, present,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: stop screen, present, share screen. Where's my handy bootleg monitor? Here?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Entire screen bootleg monitor. Bang, guys, if you have never
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: purchased one of these, like really cheap little like external
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: monitors from Amazon, they're the best. They come in. Handy,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: so handy when you have to run out of your
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: house to record a video on NASCAR. All right, as
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of this morning, which it is nine twenty eight in
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: the morning, there are no cars to the rear. I
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: wouldn't expect that news to come out till like after
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: one or two o'clock Eastern time, So as of now,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: nothing to the rear. I will as always alert you
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: guys to any breaking news. As always, we did have
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a full, uneventful practice session on Saturday. I did want
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to note though that and I always kind of touch
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: on this, so this isn't a point that's new. Group
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: A practice really gets the shits of it here at
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Martinsville because it takes about, you know, like half of
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: their session for the track to really fully take rubber
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and allow them to get really good practice laps in.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: So if you're going to compare practice and use practice
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: data this week, try to do group A for Group
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: A and Group A for Group B, or rather group
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: A for Group A and group B for Group B.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: But I really wouldn't use it the I really wouldn't
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: make it the end all be all of my selections
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: this weekend. Danny Hamlin ur Polsitter by far has the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: best pit stall on pit road, and I always like
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to mention that at racetracks with notoriously difficult pit roads
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: or where there is an advantage to the pitstall, and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: at Martinsville, there's absolutely an advantage, and it is a
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: unique pit road. It's a double whammy. Martinsville is a
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: paper clip shaped racetrack, which means it's a paper clip
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: shaped pit road. Danny Hamlin is that very Numero uno
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: spot one at the very end. He doesn't have to
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: go nearly as far as everybody else to get out
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: of his pit stall to beat everybody off of pit road.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: So Danny Hamlin is already your Vegas favorite. He's already
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a killer at Martinsville, and he has the best pit
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: stall all day. So all things coming up Denny on Sunday.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: So far four hundred laps in the spring versus five
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: hundred laps in the fall. I don't think we're going
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to see a ton of lap down drivers at the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: end of stage one. Stage one is eighty laps, but
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it is something to keep in mind while you craft
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: your player pool. Drivers who I would be concerned about
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: going a lap down would be really anybody from aj
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Allmendinger on back, So that would be twenty eighth place,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Dinger twenty ninth place, Gili Land thirtieth, Dylan thirty first,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Gregson thirty second, Niema Chek thirty third, Stenhouse, thirty fourth,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Kyle Busch, Cody ware, Ty Dillon, and Austin Hill. Those
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: would be the drivers I would be concerned going to
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: lap down in stage one. Chase Briscoe is fantastic at Martinsville.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: He's in great equipment. I don't anticipate him going a
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: lap down in stage one, so I think that's where
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: that threat would end. I did also want to quickly
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: touch on Richard Childer's racing. They besides Austin Dillon, he
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: didn't look too too bad in his practice, but Kyle
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Busch looked absolutely dreadful yesterday, and then in his post
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: practice like interview, he looked like a beat up puppy dog.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: He doesn't seem to have any confidence in his equipment today.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: He said, thirty forty laps, their attires are going to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: be burned off, et cetera, et cetera. He seems to
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: be incredibly over this Richard Childress experiment. The only reason
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I'm even bringing this up is because I mentioned it
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: in the discord last night. I said he's probably going
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to be a healthy fade for me, and then I
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: ran ownership this morning and I was a little bit
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: surprised at the numbers some of the RCR drivers were pulling.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: That might be a place to get a little bit different.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I don't if Austin Hill or Kyle Busch have a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: fantastic day to day and they beat me in dfs,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: so be it. It's just Kyle Busch has been so
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: slow and seems like he wrecks every week in that car.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: He looked terrible in his post practice interview, with zero confidence.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I don't want that in my lineups. Austin Hill is
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: starting dead last. He's not even a full time Cup performer,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: and it's a third RCR car, and like Austin Dillon
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: starting thirtieth. He has some decent runs here, but I
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: don't know. I can't get into it. So anyway, that's
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: my unscripted rant quickly about Richard Child's racing, and then
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: quickly some quick thoughts on dominators before I wrap this
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: bad boy up because people are starting to come in.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: It is Sunday morning. Denny Hamlin and William Byron, Denny
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Hamlin and Ryan Blaney will by far beat your top
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: dominator choices today. Denny Hamlin should be set to kill today,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: right this is his home racetrack. He has had a
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: terrible off season. Pair that with how good he is
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: here and all the advantages of starting on the pole
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: with the best pit stall. Like. I don't want to
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: say this is Danny's race to lose, but Vegas thinks so.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: He's going to be extremely popular in all formats today,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: as is Ryan Blaney. Ryan Blaney is a crazy, crazy
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: great driver on these flat surface racetracks. Blaney and Hamlin
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: will be an incredibly popular duo to start off lineups today,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and hey, I'll be starting off plenty with those duos
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: as well. However, I did want to quickly mention Hendrick. Now,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: of course Hendrick will be mentioned everywhere and for good
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: reason today. However, they are zero for six this season,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: which is very un Hendrick like, as this year has
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: very much been the year of Toyota and twenty three
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to eleven minus that brief win by Hamlin and Blaney.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Since I mentioned Hamlin having his personal relationships or his
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: personal issues with the off season and this being his
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: home race track and that narrative, Hendrick Motorsports absolutely underwent
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: their own tragedy at Martinsville back I believe in twenty
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: two thousand and four. I believe they had a aircraft
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: full of Hendrick executives, including Rick Hendrick's son, flying to
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Martinsville to the race, and that plane got into an
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: accident and everybody was lost. So as much as this
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: race today will mean, you know, to Denny Hamlin personally,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Hendrick Motorsports can absolutely win this race, and they have
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: every reason to want to win this race, as they
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: do every single time they come to Martinsville. And the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: fact that they haven't won yet so far this season
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: like makes me believe like once coming and once coming soon.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So am I saying pivot off of Hamlin and Blaney
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: to Byron, Elliott and Larson. That's a you decision, but
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: you should highly consider having those players in your player
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: pool and making sure they are included in your dominator.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Place today place differential plays, Brisco and Kasilowski will be
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the favorite for everybody. Brisco has been fantastic here with
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Stuart hass Racing finic He finished ninth last year in
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: his JGR debut, but then finished in the thirties in
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: the playoff race last fall, but that was due to
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: a failed engine. Kasilowski's great at any flat not I
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: shouldn't say any flat track, but any track where you
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: want a veteran to be able to manage their equipment
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: all day. That's where I want Kesilowski. So I'm going
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: to unload him here today. Plus he's led a ton
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: of laps here. One race. I want to say it
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: was like twenty twenty four. He lied like one hundred
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: and ninety laps or something, one hundred and seventy. I
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: have it in this late plan wrote down. So Kezilowski
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: will absolutely be a popular pick today, and for a
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: good reason. Other choices I enjoy will be Ryan Priest,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Ros Chastain, Bubba Wallace has been really good here, no
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: wins yet, but twenty three eleven is fast and Bubba
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Wallace should continue that today. Todd Gilliland and you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: give me some justin al Geier two. I know that's
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: probably not going out on a limb too too much,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: but he is in Hendrick equipment and he is dirt
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: dirt cheap. He has literally no Nexten experience at Martinsville.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: So that's not the best, but it's rare you'll get
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Hendrick for that price, so we need to capitalize on
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: it while we do, all right, folks, that's going to
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: wrap it up for me today. Because there is more
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: and more people coming in, I am getting closer and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: closer to the microphone. Thank you for sticking with me.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: As always, any questions in the discord, please let me
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: know and as always, let ship it said st.
