- 2:46Speaker 1: this morning's show will be a little bit quicker than
- 2:48Speaker 1: normal because it is NFL Sunday, and I'm recording this
- 2:51Speaker 1: a little bit later than we normally do because I
- 2:55Speaker 1: was at the racetrack, All day yesterday. So if you
- 2:59Speaker 1: haven't been to a racetrack lately, you should go. They're
- 3:02Speaker 1: great to be to. But like I mentioned earlier this morning,
- 3:05Speaker 1: we're breaking down the South Point Hotel and Casino 400
- 3:08Speaker 1: at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. There are 267 laps on
- 3:13Speaker 1: deck for today, which equals out to roughly 186.9 Dominator points.
- 3:20Speaker 1: If this all sounds familiar to last week, guess what?
- 3:25Speaker 1: It is. all familiar to last week. Why? Because Las
- 3:29Speaker 1: Vegas and Kansas are kind of like the same. Uh,
- 3:33Speaker 1: they're mile and a half. They race extremely similar. Uh,
- 3:37Speaker 1: the folks who were really good last week should also
- 3:40Speaker 1: be really good this week. Um, yeah, so it's kind
- 3:45Speaker 1: of a carbon copy for what we got last week. Uh,
- 3:48Speaker 1: Saturday night, they had a fantastic, fantastic, uh, O'Reilly series
- 3:53Speaker 1: race with Sprint car driver Corey Day coming through at
- 3:58Speaker 1: the end. We can only hope we have a race
- 4:01Speaker 1: as good as that was last night, today, in the
- 4:03Speaker 1: Cup Series. Do I think we're going to get one? No,
- 4:07Speaker 1: but we can only hope. We can only hope. All right,
- 4:10Speaker 1: let's go ahead and pull up the NASCAR Stoned here. And,
- 4:14Speaker 1: of course, the Stoned version just has the ownership projection
- 4:17Speaker 1: ceiling and points per dollar blanked out. If you want
- 4:19Speaker 1: that information, be a member. Shippenation.com. The big two takeaways
- 4:24Speaker 1: from practice yesterday were Josh Berry and Noah Gregson. Josh
- 4:30Speaker 1: Berry seems like it's everybody's favorite driver after his hot streak.
- 4:37Speaker 1: He had a really terrible practice. And then like half hour,
- 4:40Speaker 1: 35 minutes in, something like that, he crashed. Team rolled
- 4:43Speaker 1: out a backup car. Now, he was slow before that
- 4:48Speaker 1: in the primary car. Smashed that primary car. Team rolled
- 4:52Speaker 1: out a backup car. Do I think he's a 35th
- 4:55Speaker 1: place car? No, I don't. Especially because he won here
- 5:01Speaker 1: in Vegas for his very first NASCAR Cup Series race,
- 5:03Speaker 1: I believe, last year. So he's good here, right? He's
- 5:08Speaker 1: not a 35th place car, but they were dead last
- 5:12Speaker 1: in practice with the primary car, and now they're going
- 5:15Speaker 1: to the backup car. He will be very heavily owned today,
- 5:19Speaker 1: and for good reason, but I don't know. I don't know. Uh,
- 5:24Speaker 1: Noah Gregson also, uh, cut a tire down, piled into
- 5:27Speaker 1: the wall hard, um, did not make a qualifying lap.
- 5:30Speaker 1: I forget if they rolled out the backup car or not.
- 5:33Speaker 1: I think they did. Don't quote me on that. I
- 5:35Speaker 1: know they didn't take qualifying lap. Um, this is Noah's
- 5:38Speaker 1: hometown racetrack. So, um, not that I like to go
- 5:43Speaker 1: into like narratives like that, but, uh, you can't tell
- 5:46Speaker 1: me it's your hometown racetrack and you're trying to start
- 5:48Speaker 1: dead last and finished at last. Right. So, um, I
- 5:52Speaker 1: think Josh Berry will get a ton of ownership today
- 5:55Speaker 1: and for good reason. But if you're looking for a
- 5:58Speaker 1: little pivot and to save some more money, just go
- 6:01Speaker 1: to Noah. Right. Do I think like obviously Josh Berry
- 6:06Speaker 1: has more of an upside to Noah, but Josh Berry
- 6:10Speaker 1: was super slow in practice with the primary car. Now
- 6:13Speaker 1: he has the backup car. And Gregson was not all
- 6:18Speaker 1: that terrible, at least compared to Berry in practice. So.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Or play both. I feel like a lot of people
- 6:23Speaker 1: will play both. So, like I said, Josh Berry, he
- 6:26Speaker 1: wrecked hard. He was slow beforehand. He is a backup car.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Noah Gregson cut down a tire. He will be starting
- 6:32Speaker 1: in the rear of the field as well. This is
- 6:34Speaker 1: Noah's home track, as mentioned before. So, a little extra
- 6:38Speaker 1: motivation for Noah Gregson. Let's go ahead and break down
- 6:42Speaker 1: now the starting lineup. Starting on the pole. And really,
- 6:47Speaker 1: the first five positions. Joe Gibbs Racing. Hello, Joe Gibbs Racing.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Joe Gibbs Racing takes up one, two, three, four. That's right.
- 6:58Speaker 1: The first four spots. Rows one and two. Nothing but
- 7:03Speaker 1: Joe Gibbs Racing. Denny Hamblin on the pole. Ty Gibbs
- 7:06Speaker 1: outside pole. Seabell third. Chase Briscoe fourth. Denny is my
- 7:11Speaker 1: obvious favorite out of them all. He has the clean air. However,
- 7:15Speaker 1: we all know any of those cars are capable of winning.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Same goes for fifth place starting Tyler Reddick. We all
- 7:21Speaker 1: forget the run he went on at the beginning of
- 7:24Speaker 1: the year. These mile-and-a-half tracks where you can rip the
- 7:27Speaker 1: top are his bread and butter. Watch the move Corey
- 7:32Speaker 1: Day did yesterday at the end of the NASCAR O'Reilly
- 7:34Speaker 1: Series race. That's the kind of race car driver Tyler
- 7:38Speaker 1: Reddick is. Gibbs, Bell, Briscoe, and Reddick are not nearly
- 7:44Speaker 1: getting the ownership as Hamlin and the next upcoming Kyle
- 7:47Speaker 1: Larson are. But I love the idea in GPPs of
- 7:52Speaker 1: pairing Hamlin or Larson with either Gibbs, Bell, Briscoe, or
- 7:56Speaker 1: Redick to get you a little bit different than everybody
- 8:00Speaker 1: who's just going to group up Hamlin and Larson together.
- 8:04Speaker 1: But the aforementioned sixth-place starting Kyle Larson, he is far
- 8:08Speaker 1: and away the king of Las Vegas. He put an
- 8:12Speaker 1: absolute stomping on them last week at Kansas. It would
- 8:17Speaker 1: not surprise me to see him put a stomping on
- 8:20Speaker 1: them again today, right? Really wouldn't. I wrote on the website,
- 8:29Speaker 1: I consider Hamlin and Larson 1A, 1B. I'll let you
- 8:32Speaker 1: decide who's the 1A, who's the 1B. Larson was crazy
- 8:36Speaker 1: fast during practice, qualified sixth. Hamlin, super fast in practice,
- 8:43Speaker 1: not as fast as Larson, right? Put it on the poll.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Hamlin has that much Ballyhoo clean air that the next
- 8:50Speaker 1: gen car seems to love. Larson doesn't. Larson has five
- 8:55Speaker 1: Toyotas to pass, right? And this is all assuming Larson
- 8:59Speaker 1: or Hamlin gets to jump in and takes off and
- 9:01Speaker 1: gets the clean air. At least the first, however many laps.
- 9:03Speaker 1: So I think Hamlin and Larson will be by far
- 9:07Speaker 1: and away the top two potential dominators for the day. Uh,
- 9:11Speaker 1: what for GPPs one fifties, I don't mind the idea
- 9:14Speaker 1: of pairing Hamlin, uh, with one of Gibbs, Bell, Briscoe,
- 9:19Speaker 1: or Reddick, or Larson with one of Gibbs, Bell, Briscoe,
- 9:22Speaker 1: or Reddick. Next up, the highest qualifying forward is Austin
- 9:27Speaker 1: Sindrick in seventh. He surprised us a bit last week. Yeah,
- 9:33Speaker 1: for 7,900, I think I don't have an issue taking
- 9:38Speaker 1: a chance with him. Do I think he will lose
- 9:41Speaker 1: some spots? Do I think he will finish in seventh? Yeah,
- 9:44Speaker 1: but I don't think he'll fall too far back, so
- 9:47Speaker 1: I don't mind taking a shot on Austin Sindrick. William
- 9:49Speaker 1: Byron is also fantastic at Vegas. Don't sleep on Willie B.
- 9:54Speaker 1: He could probably be also considered one of those like
- 9:58Speaker 1: secondary dominator picks, like in the, in the Gibbs, Bell, Briscoe,
- 10:02Speaker 1: and a Reddit portion. The only reason I don't have
- 10:04Speaker 1: him listed as such is he has to go through
- 10:07Speaker 1: all of those Toyotas and Larson, right? So like Larson
- 10:13Speaker 1: is just, just killed everybody at Kansas. So it's like,
- 10:16Speaker 1: you got to have him rank because he's also the
- 10:18Speaker 1: king of Vegas, but like, Like, uh, Willie B has
- 10:23Speaker 1: some work to do, but he could do it. It's just,
- 10:25Speaker 1: it's been a while since we've seen him do it. Uh,
- 10:28Speaker 1: Bubba Wallace in ninth. Sure. Uh, I always take a
- 10:31Speaker 1: shot on Bubba, uh, especially at mile and a half. Uh,
- 10:35Speaker 1: Carson Hosovar, uh, last week. I don't think he, who
- 10:38Speaker 1: did anybody hate him last week? I forget. I forget.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Everyone hates him every week. I forget who hates who went. Um, look,
- 10:47Speaker 1: Spire's been fast all year. especially Josevar in that car,
- 10:52Speaker 1: Daniel Suarez in that car, maybe not so much Michael McDowell, but, uh,
- 10:56Speaker 1: Josevar and Suarez for sure. Spire Motorsports is bringing back
- 11:00Speaker 1: Casey Kane next year, the truck series. Let's go Casey
- 11:04Speaker 1: Kane Fridays. So, um, yeah, both Josevar and Suarez, I
- 11:09Speaker 1: think are worth considerations. They looked fantastic in practice. Their
- 11:12Speaker 1: power rankings don't look great, but we've seen these cars
- 11:16Speaker 1: have speed on these style of racetracks already this season.
- 11:19Speaker 1: So Don't be afraid. They're kind of like baby Hendrick.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Ryan Preece. Sure. I'll take a shot on Ryan Preece
- 11:28Speaker 1: losing his team owner. Brad Keselowski is out of RFK
- 11:33Speaker 1: racing at the end of this year, and it doesn't
- 11:35Speaker 1: sound great. Sounds like RFK wanted Keselowski to be done.
- 11:40Speaker 1: and uh keselowski said no so so it's like uh
- 11:46Speaker 1: i think roush fenway are buying out the keselowski portion
- 11:49Speaker 1: and who knows what's going to end up with keselowski
- 11:51Speaker 1: next year but we're not talking about him right now
- 11:53Speaker 1: we're talking about ryan priest he didn't look great obviously
- 11:57Speaker 1: 32nd 24th 22nd 14th but he is a chase driver
- 12:01Speaker 1: so is he going to win the championship of course
- 12:05Speaker 1: not but he still is in the playoffs he's still
- 12:08Speaker 1: fighting right so I think he's worth being in the
- 12:11Speaker 1: player pool. Chase Elliott. Sure. 8,500. We have to like
- 12:17Speaker 1: the equipment per dollar, right? Equipment per dollar. So yeah,
- 12:21Speaker 1: for Chase Elliott, Chris Buescher. Yup. Love me some Chris Buescher.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Wherever Brad goes, I hope he takes Chris Buescher with
- 12:30Speaker 1: them because I feel like RFK is holding down Chris Buescher.
- 12:33Speaker 1: And that goes for Brian Priest too. I feel like
- 12:36Speaker 1: you're going to see both of those drivers take a
- 12:38Speaker 1: step back. with no Keselowski in the fold next year.
- 12:43Speaker 1: I said that at nine Oh six on October 4th,
- 12:45Speaker 1: we'll see how right I am in a year from now. Um,
- 12:49Speaker 1: the lame duck, Alex Bowman, he has good track ranking here,
- 12:53Speaker 1: but I'm still sus on him. So keep them in
- 12:57Speaker 1: your player pool, but I'm not going to go over
- 12:58Speaker 1: to moon to make sure I get any of him. Uh,
- 13:01Speaker 1: Brad K cheap. Uh, he has a lot on his mind,
- 13:05Speaker 1: so I don't know how much I love playing him today.
- 13:08Speaker 1: but maybe he's extra motivated to have a good day
- 13:11Speaker 1: to show any potential teams, hey, I'm worth a shot.
- 13:14Speaker 1: I personally think he is pairing up with Colleague and
- 13:19Speaker 1: going the Dodge route. However, Colleague came out and said,
- 13:23Speaker 1: we know nothing about that. I have literally never had
- 13:26Speaker 1: any conversations with Brad Kozlowski. So, I don't know. We'll
- 13:32Speaker 1: see what happens with Brad K at the end of
- 13:34Speaker 1: next year. Ross Chastain, look, track house scares me. They
- 13:40Speaker 1: scare me, scare me, they scare me. Decent last week.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Is he going to bring that speed again this week?
- 13:50Speaker 1: I kind of need more than one race, right? Now,
- 13:52Speaker 1: it's helpful that this race is so much similar to
- 13:56Speaker 1: last week's race, right? So if you want to take
- 13:58Speaker 1: a shot on Melloman, feel free. He's starting 17th, so
- 14:01Speaker 1: he does have some PD upside. Track house just scares me. Uh,
- 14:06Speaker 1: Michael McDowell, he's a no for me, dog. Uh, I
- 14:09Speaker 1: can't see how he's going to be in that car
- 14:11Speaker 1: next year for Spire. I'm not sure what his contract
- 14:13Speaker 1: situation is, but I think, uh, I think if they
- 14:16Speaker 1: can get out of it, I think they will. Um,
- 14:18Speaker 1: the Dinger in 19th, you gotta save some money somewhere.
- 14:21Speaker 1: He's 5,700. I'll take a shot. Uh, Ryan Blaney in 20th,
- 14:25Speaker 1: middle of the road in practice, one of the fastest
- 14:27Speaker 1: cars all season long. Uh, I don't think he's going
- 14:30Speaker 1: to dominate, but he definitely has top 10, top five upside.
- 14:35Speaker 1: It just sucks that he's 10-2, right? It sucks that
- 14:39Speaker 1: Denny's 11, Kyle's 11-5, and they're probably going to soak
- 14:43Speaker 1: up the majority of the laps led, fast lap points,
- 14:47Speaker 1: I would assume. Then you have Blaney at 10-2 in 20th,
- 14:50Speaker 1: kind of middle of the road, so. Is he worth
- 14:57Speaker 1: being in your player pool? Absolutely. Is he worth making
- 15:00Speaker 1: sure you get some exposure to? Absolutely. But I can't
- 15:03Speaker 1: see myself going crazy for him today. That Jones boy. Yeah,
- 15:08Speaker 1: I always take a shot on Eric Jones in these
- 15:09Speaker 1: style of racetracks. Love me that Jones boy. Yeah, I
- 15:15Speaker 1: feel like they have some good juju going for next year.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I'll be very interested to see where Legacy Motor Club
- 15:20Speaker 1: ends up at the end of next year. I feel
- 15:21Speaker 1: like I said that last year too. They're still like
- 15:23Speaker 1: exactly the same. So we'll see. Riley Herbst, he crushed it.
- 15:30Speaker 1: I feel like this is the race he crushed it
- 15:31Speaker 1: in the Xfinity Series one year where he was just
- 15:36Speaker 1: out on this crazy lead. Yeah, that's not going to
- 15:42Speaker 1: happen today in Cup. I don't have him as a
- 15:46Speaker 1: GPP play. I kind of have him just as a
- 15:49Speaker 1: complete fade. The positive for Riley Herbst is that he is...
- 15:54Speaker 1: budget-friendly at 6K. I wish he was starting a little
- 15:56Speaker 1: bit deeper in the field, but he does have a
- 15:58Speaker 1: Toyota under the hood. And his 23XI teammates are starting
- 16:03Speaker 1: 5th and 9th, so... I think he's worth a fade,
- 16:09Speaker 1: but I do understand if you do want to get
- 16:13Speaker 1: some exposure to Mr. Herbst today. Joey Logano is great
- 16:17Speaker 1: here as well. He's starting 23rd, a 9,500. Middle-of-the-road practice.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Cheaper than Blaney. In my opinion, if you are dead
- 16:27Speaker 1: set and going Blaney but you're struggling on cash, drop
- 16:30Speaker 1: down to Joey and save, what, a couple hundred bucks.
- 16:33Speaker 1: Maybe that'll work and it gives you some more PD upside.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Cole Custer, SVG, and Ricky Stinkhouse. No, no, no. Todd
- 16:40Speaker 1: Gilliland and Austin Dillon. I'll take a shot. Todd Gilliland
- 16:44Speaker 1: looked god-awful in practice, but it's Gilley, so kind of
- 16:49Speaker 1: hoping for the best there. Austin Dillon, yeah, middle-of-the-road practice.
- 16:54Speaker 1: start 28th. So kind of hoping he just gets, you know,
- 16:58Speaker 1: in the top 15, uh, Ty Dillon. No, uh, Zane Smith. Yeah.
- 17:03Speaker 1: I'll take a shot. In this case, he's, he's hard
- 17:06Speaker 1: to figure out. Uh, Connor Zilich. I'm going to say no.
- 17:10Speaker 1: He looked okay in practice. Um, like I mentioned earlier with,
- 17:14Speaker 1: with Chastain track, how scares me. They've been trash all
- 17:19Speaker 1: season long, all season long. And, uh, I'm sick of, oh,
- 17:30Speaker 1: he has the potential, so he's starting in the back.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Good practice. The kid's a hell of a driver. It's
- 17:37Speaker 1: just track house in general, or maybe it's that team
- 17:39Speaker 1: in general. I don't know, but it's a fade for me.
- 17:42Speaker 1: I understand if you want to play the Z-Man. I
- 17:44Speaker 1: kind of like that, the Z-Man. But it's going to
- 17:46Speaker 1: be a no for me. John Hunter Nemechek. Yeah. Toyota. Okay.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Austin Hill. 16th in the 15 lap. Okay. You know,
- 18:02Speaker 1: these are like, we're trying to save money. Like, you know,
- 18:06Speaker 1: these are, these are like last click type drivers, right? Uh, Cody,
- 18:09Speaker 1: where no. And then we have Josh Berry and Noah
- 18:14Speaker 1: Gregson who both, uh, both crashed during practice and will
- 18:17Speaker 1: both be heavily owned today. Uh, Josh Berry is on
- 18:22Speaker 1: a crazy, fantastic, um, string of races. Uh, solid, solid finishes. Uh,
- 18:29Speaker 1: and this is Noah Gregson's home track. So, you know,
- 18:31Speaker 1: he's not going to want to lay an egg in
- 18:32Speaker 1: qualifying and in the race. Right. So, uh, hopefully a
- 18:36Speaker 1: top 20 for Noah and Hey, that's it for me, folks.
- 18:40Speaker 1: It is NFL Sunday. I quite literally think it's nine o'clock.
- 18:43Speaker 1: I think there's a game in Europe right now. Uh,
- 18:47Speaker 1: I'm not going to share my screen. Let me double
- 18:49Speaker 1: check that. Am I right on that? Yes. In the,
- 18:54Speaker 1: in Washington at nine 30. I have zero interest in that,
- 18:58Speaker 1: but I know some people do. So I'm going to
- 19:00Speaker 1: go ahead and wrap up this morning's show. Thank you
- 19:05Speaker 1: so much as always. The NASCAR season is, we're wrapping
- 19:09Speaker 1: up here, folks. We only have like five races left
- 19:11Speaker 1: or something like that. Here, let me look at my phone.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Let me look at my telephone. We have this week
- 19:18Speaker 1: in Vegas, Charlotte, Phoenix, Daga, Martinsville, and Homestead. One, two, three, four, five.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Six races, which includes today. So six more times this
- 19:29Speaker 1: year we're going to get together and talk about left-hand turns.
- 19:32Speaker 1: I appreciate you all. Good luck in all of your
- 19:36Speaker 1: slates today. If any further drivers are announced as going
- 19:40Speaker 1: to the rear, I will, as always, mention it in
- 19:44Speaker 1: the Discord. Any questions, please feel free to tag me
- 19:48Speaker 1: on Discord. And as always, always, let's ship it! Thank you.
