• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you are not a member already, you absolutely owe it
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to yourself. Check us out. Chipnation dot com code ship
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: nineteen five days, four nineteen dollars. Alrighty. Once again, this weekend,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: we are focusing on the final NASCAR slate of the season,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the NASCAR Cup Series Championship race at Phoenix Raceway, and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: there are two hundred and eighteen dominated points up for
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: grabs this weekend, and we will want to target those points.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm recommending at least two dominators per lineup, and we'll
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: go over some of those potential times might be here
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: in a little bit. However, First things first, this weekend
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: has already looked a tad bit different than the vast
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: majority of weekends of race weekends already this year, as
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: practice was ran on Friday, while qualifying was a standalone
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: session on Saturday. So practice and qualifying normally run back
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to back in conjunction with each other. Not this weekend.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Practice was on Friday while qualifying was on Saturday, and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: boy oh boy, let me tell you, Friday's practice session
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: was something else. Why tire issues, tire issues, tire issues,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: tire issues. There were so many tire issues during practice
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: on Friday. Now, I personally do not think we will
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: see similar tire issues on Sunday because the teams had,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you know, all day Saturday to figure out how not
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to have that happened, right, So I do not believe
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: we will have similar tire issues on Sunday. But I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: did want to go over everybody who did have tire
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: issues on Friday, just so you were aware of that.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And first and the most important one was Chase brisco
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Chase Briscoe had a flat tire early on which brought
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: out a caution flag during practice. Christopher Bell, his JGR teammate,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: had a flat tire. Aj Allmendinger had a flat tire
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and then was involved in a fairly hard accident which
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: requires college to pull out the backup car. So they're
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: starting dead last this weekend. Daniel Sworez old me and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you go his final ride for track House. He had
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a flat tire. Riley herbsed the worst Toyota driver in
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the field. He had a flat tire and also got
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: into the wall fairly hard. I don't believe they'll be
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: rolling on a backup car though. End Last, but most
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: certainly not least, Kyle Busch had a flat tire, which
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I guess this is kind of par for the course for
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Kyle Busch. So, like I mentioned, tons of drivers had
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: flat tires, including Championship four hopeful or Championship four contender
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: because he's in the Championship four Chase Brisco. So I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: don't think we're going to see many, if any tire
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: issues on Sunday, but I did want to want to
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: mention though, since there were some in practice on Friday. Now,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: let's go ahead and break down the starting lineup for
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race. I feel like there's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: a better name NASCAR. If you're listening, I'm not sure
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: what that name is, but I think there's definitely a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: better name out there than just NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: But I digress. Let's just start off with the first
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: three drivers on the list here, Denny Hamlin, William Byron,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and the Kyle Larson. All three of those are Championship
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Round can tenders, and as you could see by their
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: vegas odds all three of them or quite favored to win.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Denny Hamlin has all kinds of mojo going his way lately. Plus,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: if you are into narratives, Denny's father is in poor health,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and Denny mentioned a few times how it could very
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: well be Denny's father's only chance to possibly see him
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: win a championship because he doesn't think he's going to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: be around next year. So if you are into narratives,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that's a good one. William Byron and Kyle Larson up next,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: also Championship four contenders. I think right now, in my
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: opinion's going to be grabbed two of these five mark dominators.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: In my opinion, it's going to be very hard not
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to just grab two of the three of Hamlin Byron Larson.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can jam in all three of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: them and feel confident and comfortable with your lineup. Well,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like you could definitely do two of them.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So Hamlin Byron Larson should be all heavily owned all
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: four or all three of them or championship hopefuls. So
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: we'll see fourth and fifth or the team Pasca teammates
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of Cindric and Ryan Blaney. Ryan Blaney has the lowest
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: odds of a driver to win who's not in the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Championship four. That goes to show you how excellent Ryan
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Blaney is at Phoenix. However, Austin Sindric no slouch either.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I probably won't get to a lot of Austin Sindric,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: but it would not surprise me to see him steal
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: some some lead laps here. Do I think he'll be
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a dominator? No, but we have seen him lead laps
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: in these kind of situations before, so we should not
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: overlook him. But Ryan Blaney will be the name most
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: drivers gravitate towards. Barry, Bowman, Busher Lagano, rounding out the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: top ten. Host of Ar I have no problem playing
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: sixty seven hundred. That's ridiculously cheap. I will absolutely take
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a shot with him in my playpool. Same with Josh Barry.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I wish he was as cheap as Host of War,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: but he is not Barry eighty five hundred. But he
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: does have that Team Penske pedigree behind him with what
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Brothers racing, and he's also fairly good at short flat tracks,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: so I have no problem taking a chance on him.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Bowman the Showman, I don't know practice didn't look great.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: He did a pretty decent qualifying run. I probably won't
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: get too much of him, but I would expect to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: see him be a top fifteen driver all day. Chris Busher,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I have no problem getting him Logano. I he team Penske,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Syndric and Blainey fourth and fifth, great Logano starting at ten.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I just don't know if I see him passing Blainey, Larsen,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Byron or Hamlin and then dominating said race. Could it happen? Absolutely,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know if it's if it's possible.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Let's see here one second. Got notifications doing it will
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: make sure I didn't miss anything in the chat, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't because I'm covering NBA tonight. As mentioned before, eleventh,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: we have Kyle Busch. I've been off of him for
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a while. I'll probably be off of him here and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: watch this will be the race. He does good. It's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: just he's had a rough season. The final Championship four
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: hopeful Chase Briscoe is twelve. I have him marked as
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a potential dominator as well because he is Championship four
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: hopeful or contender. Rather I keep saying hopeful. Championship four
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: contender and and I do anticipate him working his way
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: towards the front of the field by the end of
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the race. If he can get out to lead, there
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: is no reason why he can't dominate a portion of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: this race. So love Chase Briscoe. He just has a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: little bit of a higher hill to climb versus the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: other three, but I still think he can do it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Ross chastein up next, no problem taking a chance on him.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Me and Migo. Daniel Suarez he had a flat tire
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: on Friday, but he's going to run and not need
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a backup car or anything like that. It is Suarez's
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: last race at Trackhouse Racing, so expect to see him
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: try to end on a positive note with team Trackhouse
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and Trackhouse has been very how should I say it,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: very cool with Daniels leaving. I think they have a
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: special paint scheme on the car and it's a cool
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: social media posts. So me and Migo's tenure with a
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Trackhouse is coming to an end. Sunday at Phoenix, Eric Jones,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: He's probably going to be a pass for me, even
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: though he looked decent in practice, He's just had a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: rough season. Ricky Stenhouse junior. No. Chase Elliott like him.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I wish he was in the playoff for so he
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: can have extra motivation. But I did like him. He
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: did have some tire issues towards both ends of his practices.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Towards the end of his practice runs on Friday. Not
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a flat tire though, but trending that way, So just
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: be aware of that. Noah Gregson, that's a no for me.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Dog Brad Keselowski, you know what, that's a no for me.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I've played him a lot this season, and I don't
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: think he's ever come through for me, So I'm taking
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: a pass on him. Christopher Bell, if you can get
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to a ten two Christopher Bell at twentieth, sure take
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the chance. You have to think he'll be a top
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: He has potentially be a top five, if not a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: winning car. I just don't know if you're gonna get
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: to him with those other three starting in the top three.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: You know, if you're hard, Ryan Priest, he's been a
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: yes all season. He will continue to be a yes
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: on Saturday or on Sunday for me. Zane Smith. If
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I need a driver sixty three hundred dollars for the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: final spot, I've got no problems taking a chance on
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Zaane Bubba. I'll take a chance on Bubba, Reddick. I'll
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: take a chance on Reddick. Ty Gibbs. Ty Gibbs's fastest
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: in or single lap sessions and then came out with
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a twenty fifth place qualifying effort. He has not had
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the best of seasons. Phoenix has not treated him the best.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: But I will take a shot on Ty Gibbs. At
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: being only sixty eight hundred, that's dirt cheap, so for sure.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Austin Dillon, that's a no for me. Dog cal Custer,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that's a no for me. Dog John Hunter, Nimachek might
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: take a chance. I've had a soft spot for John
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Hunter over these past couple of weeks. He has shown
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: some signs of speed. Not any signs of speed here though,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: but price is right fifty seven hundred. If you're jamming
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: in those high end drivers, you might need to dip
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: down that low. So I got no problem taking a
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: chance on John Hunter. Justin Haley, this is his last
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: ride in the Cup Series for the foreseeable future, as
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: he's going back to the trucks next season. That's gonna
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: be a note for me. Todd Gilliland I'll take a
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: chance on Todd. He normally seems to do better than
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: where he qualified, so I'll take that chance. At only
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: fifty six hundred SVG, this is an interesting one. He
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: has been trending upwards on OVAL's recently. Now, Phoenix is
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: a tadbit different than the other ovals, should say tad
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: bit different, but compared to some of the others he's
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: been doing well on it is different, right, But I
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: don't mind taking a shot with SVG in these one
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty GPP tournaments twenty max No, I don't
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: think he should be worth your while three entry single
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: entry cash games, I don't think so. But if you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: want to take a shot in one fifties, I think
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: he can. I think he can. Riley Herbs no, Cody
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Ware no, Ty Dylan. Yeah, I'll take a chance on tie.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: The odds are terrible, the practice speeds were terrible, the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: power rankings are terrible. What he is the cheapest let's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: see here, Yes, he is the cheapest car. Who's starting
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the deepest. That's a full time driver. Now, there are
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: better options out there, But if you're looking on maximizing
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: your place, differential possibilities on the cheap meaning five K
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: and above. Yeah, I would say I'd be willing to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: give Tie a chance, but he'd via one P fifty
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: max play similar to the SVG JJ Yaley no, Casey
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Mears No. Then we have two interesting ones, Michael McDowell
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and Aj Almondinger. Now Aj Almendinger didn't even attempt a
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: qualifying lap. He team is still getting the backup car prepared,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: so he skipped qualifying altogether, and he will be starting
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: dead last and will be scored from dead last, so
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: only positive points possible for the Dinger on Sunday. But
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Michael McDowell, he just didn't have a great lap, that's right.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: So I don't mind taking good chance on Michael McDowell
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: just because the C minus and the D stick out
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: when you're down here in all these reds for the
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: power rankings. But I don't know, it's not often he
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: qualifies that poorly, so maybe buyer anywhare on Michael mcdalell.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that is all I have at least for
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: this video as concerning the NASCAR Cup Series Championship race.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I still have a slate plan to write, I still
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: have projections to craft, I still have ownership to craft,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: so plenty of work to do, but I wanted to
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: get this video done while the Xcinity race is chugging
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: along behind me. So that's it. That's all I have
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: for now. Thank you all for another wonderful season of
• 16:41
