- 3:09Speaker 1: at Nation dot com everything you need to has its
- 3:11Speaker 1: test with the FS four less. All right, hey, ship
- 3:14Speaker 1: it Nation, of course, what am I talking about? I'm
- 3:17Speaker 1: talking about the Great American Getaway four hundred at Pocono Raceway.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Let me go ahead and fire up the stone here,
- 3:26Speaker 1: one second stone there we go share this tab this weekend.
- 3:35Speaker 1: There are one hundred and sixty laps on deck, which
- 3:38Speaker 1: equals out to one hundred and twelve total dominator points.
- 3:43Speaker 1: And by the way the qualifying has shaken up, I'm
- 3:47Speaker 1: recommending at least one potential dominator per lineup. We have
- 3:51Speaker 1: a couple of chalk donkeys in the back and we
- 3:53Speaker 1: have a couple of heavy hitters up front, so at
- 3:56Speaker 1: least one per lineup, probably two. I think most people
- 3:59Speaker 1: will be using to but like I said, we do
- 4:01Speaker 1: have a couple chalk donkeys starting at the rear that
- 4:03Speaker 1: we will want to get access to. Practice in qualifying
- 4:07Speaker 1: notes practice was mostly uneventful. The Infinity practice was crazy.
- 4:14Speaker 1: There's all kinds of accidents and stuff in the Infinity practice,
- 4:17Speaker 1: but the Cup practice was fairly uneventful. Qualifying, however, was
- 4:21Speaker 1: a different story. Bubba Wallace crashed in his qualifying attempt
- 4:26Speaker 1: and he will be starting absolutely dead last on the field.
- 4:30Speaker 1: They do not know if they will be rolling out
- 4:32Speaker 1: a backup car or fixing their primary car just yet,
- 4:36Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter regardless because they are starting dead
- 4:39Speaker 1: last thirty eighth. They're starting in the back, and Brad
- 4:43Speaker 1: Kesalalowski had an engine issue during his qualifying session and
- 4:47Speaker 1: he will be starting right next to Bubba in thirty seventh. So,
- 4:51Speaker 1: like I said, we have two chalk donkeys with bad
- 4:55Speaker 1: Brad starting thirty seventh and Bubba starting thirty eighth. Brad
- 4:59Speaker 1: has been fantastic and has had fantastic success here at
- 5:04Speaker 1: Pocono Raceway, and Bubba Wallace is in a really fast
- 5:07Speaker 1: twenty three XI eleven Toyota. These two drivers will get
- 5:11Speaker 1: a ton of ownership, will get a ton of love
- 5:17Speaker 1: from everywhere, et cetera. To very heavy chalk donkey plays
- 5:23Speaker 1: in Brad Keselowski and Bubba Wallace. Let's go ahead and
- 5:27Speaker 1: do a quick rundown of the starting lineup, because earlier
- 5:31Speaker 1: in the week I mentioned, or I think even last
- 5:33Speaker 1: weekend's video, I mentioned that I will be boots on
- 5:36Speaker 1: the ground Saturday at Pocono Raceway. However, as I said,
- 5:41Speaker 1: as I got excited, I'm not at Pocono Raceway today
- 5:45Speaker 1: because I'm going to Pocono Raceway tomorrow. That's right, boots
- 5:49Speaker 1: on the ground for ship Nation dot Com. I will
- 5:52Speaker 1: be at Pocono Raceway for the Cup race tomorrow. So
- 5:55Speaker 1: that's why I want to get this content cranked out
- 5:58Speaker 1: very very early, or at least the video portion, because
- 6:01Speaker 1: I feel like the projections and stuff will be coming
- 6:03Speaker 1: overnight tonight. So anyway, starting on the poll, to literally
- 6:07Speaker 1: nobody's surprise is Denny Hamlin. I think his average finish
- 6:12Speaker 1: over the last three Pocono races is one point seven yep,
- 6:18Speaker 1: one point seven. So Denny Hamlin is by far, in
- 6:23Speaker 1: a way, everybody's top dominator. Play He's been on fire
- 6:26Speaker 1: these past two weeks. He's been sent to the rear
- 6:29Speaker 1: for one reason on the other of these past two
- 6:31Speaker 1: weeks and drove through the front without any issues and
- 6:34Speaker 1: won both of these last two races. Now we're at
- 6:37Speaker 1: a track where it's a one point seven average finish
- 6:41Speaker 1: for Denny Hamlin. So, like I said, Denny Hamlin odds
- 6:46Speaker 1: on favorite to win and for a good reason. Sorry.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Next to him, Kyle Larson no slouch. He had some
- 6:51Speaker 1: good sprint car success this weekend, so that leads to
- 6:54Speaker 1: good speed in the Cup car. It seems like so
- 6:57Speaker 1: Larson's fast. A couple surprises up next, Annuel Suarez and
- 7:00Speaker 1: Ty Gibbs. Suarez has been fast all season, not great
- 7:04Speaker 1: success at Pocono, but those practice bees are not to
- 7:07Speaker 1: be joked about. And his price is right seventy seven
- 7:11Speaker 1: hundred on draftings plus sixty six hundred to win. I
- 7:14Speaker 1: think there are both solid bets after how fast he's been,
- 7:17Speaker 1: Ty Gibbs, He's in a Joe Gibbs car. Love it.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Chase Priscoe, fifth, last year's winner, led seventy plus laps
- 7:26Speaker 1: at Pocono. Fantastic, fantastic play. I got text my wife
- 7:30Speaker 1: here one quickly. Yes, So all right, sorry about that, everybody,
- 7:54Speaker 1: So like I said, Chase prisco led seventy laps last
- 7:58Speaker 1: year en route to win. Fantastic at pokan El Raceway,
- 8:01Speaker 1: and he's in a fast Joe Gibbs car. Chris Busher
- 8:04Speaker 1: always a fantastic play, always fantastic at Pocono Raceway, starting
- 8:09Speaker 1: at six six. Eric Jones and John Hunter Nimachek the
- 8:13Speaker 1: Legacy Motor club Boys. Eric Jones has had fantastic speed
- 8:17Speaker 1: recently really good. I like him. I think he'll be
- 8:20Speaker 1: able to keep up there all day. And for fifty
- 8:23Speaker 1: nine Hunter John Hunter, he had speed in practice, he
- 8:27Speaker 1: backed it up and qualifying I don't mind taking a shot.
- 8:30Speaker 1: So both Eric Jones and John Hunter Nimachek I think
- 8:33Speaker 1: are valuable or valuable plays this weekend. Next up William
- 8:38Speaker 1: Byron and Ryan Blaney. William Byron is still searching for
- 8:42Speaker 1: that dominating performance this year. He was great in long
- 8:46Speaker 1: run practice, and Ryan Blaney won this race I believe
- 8:49Speaker 1: in twenty in the next gen he won. I forget
- 8:55Speaker 1: what year he won, but he is a next gen
- 8:57Speaker 1: winner at Pocono. Not the best in practice, this not
- 9:01Speaker 1: the best of practice at all. Frankly still managed a
- 9:04Speaker 1: really good qualifying run though, so as always he's fast
- 9:07Speaker 1: weekend week out. He's always in play. Teammate Joey Logano
- 9:10Speaker 1: is in eleventh. He had similar speed to Blaney in practice.
- 9:17Speaker 1: He's cheaper than Blaney and in the same equipment. So
- 9:21Speaker 1: if you're willing to, if you want to play, if
- 9:24Speaker 1: you want to play Blaney but you want to save
- 9:26Speaker 1: some money, just pivot to Logano and hope for the
- 9:29Speaker 1: best same equipment one spot back should be less ownership.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Next up Alex Bowman and Michael McDonald. Michael McDon donald,
- 9:40Speaker 1: Michael McDowell. Alex Bowman tough, tough year, good qualifying effort.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Hopefully he's able to keep it up there. Spier cars
- 9:48Speaker 1: to seem fast. Mike mack don't mind taking a chance
- 9:50Speaker 1: on him, especially at sixty three hundred or yeah, sixty
- 9:54Speaker 1: three hundred cheap. Austin Hill, that's still going to be
- 9:58Speaker 1: a no for me. Cole Custom is still going to
- 10:00Speaker 1: be a no for me. Tyler Reddick starting sixteenth yep
- 10:04Speaker 1: a's across the board plus six twenty five on the books.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Fantastic here at Pocono. Not the greatest practice, but that
- 10:12Speaker 1: doesn't bother me too much. He should be able to
- 10:14Speaker 1: work his way through the fields. Lord knows he has
- 10:16Speaker 1: the rest of this season. Austin Sindrick, he'll be in
- 10:21Speaker 1: the pool to start with. He might be a click off.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Don't love him because I'd much rather play Zayne at
- 10:28Speaker 1: sixty eight hundred. It seems like whenever Zayne has decent
- 10:32Speaker 1: speed in practice and qualifies, like up in the upper
- 10:35Speaker 1: half of the field, he does really good. So I'm
- 10:39Speaker 1: going to continue that trend for Zane Smith, so instead
- 10:42Speaker 1: of playing Cindric, I'll probably just drop down to zayn
- 10:45Speaker 1: A Next up. The Dinger and Josh Barry. Passes for
- 10:49Speaker 1: me on both colleague cars are pretty much always a
- 10:52Speaker 1: pass for me since they are a solo team without
- 10:54Speaker 1: any factory support, and Josh Barry is now a lame duck.
- 10:58Speaker 1: He announced that he's not going to with the Wood
- 11:00Speaker 1: Brothers next year, so not the greatest fan of Josh
- 11:04Speaker 1: Berry going forward, so I'm off on him. I would
- 11:07Speaker 1: expect to see his price tag start to drop as well.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Sixty six hundred for Josh Berry not the greatest. Ricky
- 11:14Speaker 1: Stenhouse Junior and Christopher Bell up next. Ricky Stenhouse, I
- 11:18Speaker 1: don't mind taking a chance on. Yes, he's been f's
- 11:21Speaker 1: across the board, but I have seen him run decent
- 11:24Speaker 1: here in the past. Maybe not so much in the
- 11:26Speaker 1: next Sten era, but in previous eras, so I wouldn't mind.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I'm not going to go out of my way to
- 11:33Speaker 1: play Ricky Stenhouse Junior, but if he would make it
- 11:36Speaker 1: into my lineup, so I'm not going to be too
- 11:37Speaker 1: overly upset. Christopher Bell was in for a hell of
- 11:40Speaker 1: a day. He's racing with a fractured wrist. He seems
- 11:43Speaker 1: to be okay, I mean okay enough where like he's
- 11:47Speaker 1: giving interviews, he's happy. He doesn't seem to be hampering
- 11:50Speaker 1: him too much in the car, But all of his
- 11:52Speaker 1: teammates are what first, fourth, and fifth and he's back
- 11:56Speaker 1: in twenty second, so it has to be hampering him
- 12:00Speaker 1: some way. And that boy has San Diego and Sears
- 12:05Speaker 1: Point coming up, so tough stretch for Christopher Bell. But however,
- 12:10Speaker 1: thank god he is okay. That was such a tremendous
- 12:15Speaker 1: accident last week at Michigan. Lord, thank god for the
- 12:22Speaker 1: next gent. Yes, it doesn't give us the best racing
- 12:25Speaker 1: all the time, but it definitely saved Christopher Bell's life
- 12:28Speaker 1: for sure. So that Bell boy is going to have
- 12:32Speaker 1: a hard, rough day tomorrow and probably an equally hard,
- 12:35Speaker 1: if not rougher day in San Diego and infineon next up,
- 12:39Speaker 1: Chase Elliott. He is also a winner at Pocono based
- 12:43Speaker 1: off his A plus. However, he did not lead any
- 12:47Speaker 1: lapse in his victory. Hayes victory was via disqualification back
- 12:52Speaker 1: in I believe it was twenty two or twenty three
- 12:54Speaker 1: Denny Hamlin won the race and then was promptly disqualified
- 12:59Speaker 1: due to some sort of tape or pulling tape or
- 13:01Speaker 1: some sort of something off the nose of his car.
- 13:04Speaker 1: It was very minute, and then second place finisher, the
- 13:07Speaker 1: late Kyle Busch was then also disqualified as well for
- 13:10Speaker 1: the same thing. So he Chase Elliott led zero lapse
- 13:16Speaker 1: to his chase to his Pokeno Raceway victory. I don't
- 13:20Speaker 1: mind the play is it's a Hendrick Norrisports car. Chase
- 13:23Speaker 1: has had speed all season, but those practice speeds look
- 13:26Speaker 1: bad now. He was in a Group A, but then
- 13:30Speaker 1: he backed that up with a twenty third place qualifying effort.
- 13:33Speaker 1: So eh, I'm not gonna go out of my way
- 13:37Speaker 1: playing Chase Elliott, Ross, Chastain and Riley Herps up next.
- 13:40Speaker 1: I'm not crazy for Ross, even though he was good
- 13:43Speaker 1: in practice. That track house team just seems to be struggling.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Riley Herps, Yeah, his price tag is slowly and quietly
- 13:51Speaker 1: going up. He looked really good in practice. He is
- 13:54Speaker 1: in good equipment. He is in a lame duck, but
- 13:58Speaker 1: he has shown griss this year, unlike Josh Berry. So
- 14:02Speaker 1: I'm not playing Josh Berry because of his lame duck status.
- 14:05Speaker 1: But I will be playing Riley Herps because he's in
- 14:07Speaker 1: good equipment. Hos of AR and Ty Dylan up next
- 14:10Speaker 1: House of R Yes, only eighty seven hundred for Hosts
- 14:13Speaker 1: of AR. Looks great in practice, not the greatest qualifying effort.
- 14:17Speaker 1: He will be a popular play Ty Dylon. Nope, he's
- 14:20Speaker 1: in that colleague card just like I explained it for
- 14:22Speaker 1: a j. Allmendinger. Colleague is in Chevyes, but they don't
- 14:27Speaker 1: get any factory support from Chevrolet and or any other
- 14:31Speaker 1: Chevrolet teams because they drive Rams in the Truck Series
- 14:37Speaker 1: and when RAM comes to Cup Series, they'll probably be
- 14:40Speaker 1: colleague flagship team or Dodger's flagship team, et cetera. So
- 14:45Speaker 1: that's why they're struggling so much. And when they do
- 14:48Speaker 1: do good, it's so surprising and impressive because they're really
- 14:52Speaker 1: out there like against everybody else. Next up Connors Zilich
- 14:56Speaker 1: and Todd Gilliland. Zilich look good in Group A practice,
- 14:59Speaker 1: but he's having the worst rookie season in the history
- 15:02Speaker 1: of rookie season, so it's a no for me there.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Gilly probably gonna pass on him this week. Noah Gregson
- 15:08Speaker 1: probably going to pass on him this week. Noah Craigson
- 15:11Speaker 1: was really funny on the well, it's not busting with
- 15:15Speaker 1: the boys, it's like racing with the boys or something.
- 15:18Speaker 1: It's to busting with the boys people. He him and
- 15:20Speaker 1: Chase Briscoe were fantastic on there this week. So if
- 15:22Speaker 1: you haven't and are looking for some NASCAR content that's
- 15:26Speaker 1: not me the check out, go ahead and check that out.
- 15:28Speaker 1: I think that's that was a funny Listen Shane van
- 15:30Speaker 1: Gisberg and in thirty first, No not today, Austin Dillon, No,
- 15:36Speaker 1: Cody Ware, no Daniel Die How about him failing upwards? No,
- 15:42Speaker 1: a Ryan Priest, Yeah, absolutely, sixty nine hundred. He does
- 15:46Speaker 1: not have the best history here at Poconon, does not
- 15:50Speaker 1: have the greatest practice speeds, But I'll still take a
- 15:53Speaker 1: chance from Ryan Priest in the rfk Ford Casey Mears No,
- 15:57Speaker 1: and then the Chalk Donkeys themself else Brad Keselowski and
- 16:02Speaker 1: Bubba Wallace doing thirty seventh and thirty eighth. Once again,
- 16:05Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier, Brad Kesilowski had an engine issue
- 16:09Speaker 1: during his qualifying run, which is his thirty seventh place
- 16:14Speaker 1: qualifying effort and Bubba Wallace crashed into the tunnel turn,
- 16:18Speaker 1: which is turned two. I was listening to the radio.
- 16:22Speaker 1: That's a little fun fact. I normally listen to Practice
- 16:25Speaker 1: of Qualifying because I think MRN and p Orban do
- 16:28Speaker 1: a much much better job describing the action, even though
- 16:33Speaker 1: you can see it on the television broadcast. Are they
- 16:35Speaker 1: reckoned again? Another wreck? Pocono's Exfinity cannot handle Pocono. It's
- 16:41Speaker 1: lap eight. Looked over the TV. There's another wreck going on.
- 16:45Speaker 1: But anyway, what I found interesting about Bubble Wallace was
- 16:50Speaker 1: he declined his interview, which, okay, I understand that you
- 16:56Speaker 1: just smashed your primary car in qualifying, not the great
- 17:00Speaker 1: right declined his interview, and the commentator stated that he
- 17:05Speaker 1: was just sitting there staring at the at the vehicle,
- 17:10Speaker 1: just like in awe or like in disgust, like of
- 17:15Speaker 1: like what happened of himself, et cetera. So that doesn't
- 17:20Speaker 1: put Bubba Wallace in a great and mental space in
- 17:22Speaker 1: my opinion, going into Sunday's race. And there's a chance
- 17:27Speaker 1: that this is a bad stretch for Bubba, like if
- 17:30Speaker 1: Sunday goes bad, starting dead last, if he doesn't have
- 17:33Speaker 1: a really great positive day. The next two races are
- 17:36Speaker 1: the San Diego road Course and then here's point that
- 17:42Speaker 1: two road courses back to back. So if he doesn't
- 17:46Speaker 1: have a good day on Sunday, I think it's gonna
- 17:48Speaker 1: be a tough stretch here for Bubba Wallace. But anyway,
- 17:50Speaker 1: that's it for me. Like I said, it's it's four
- 17:53Speaker 1: point thirty on Saturday afternoon when I am recording this.
- 17:57Speaker 1: There's already been two rex in the Spinity practice. I
- 18:02Speaker 1: now have a slate plan to write in projections and
- 18:06Speaker 1: ownership to craft and all of that stuff for members
- 18:10Speaker 1: of ship at Nation. Like I mentioned, I will be
- 18:12Speaker 1: boots on the ground in Pocono tomorrow. What does that
- 18:16Speaker 1: mean for you, find, folks? That means that I have
- 18:19Speaker 1: no cell phone service almost all the time when I
- 18:22Speaker 1: go to Pocono. When I get there, it works in
- 18:25Speaker 1: the beginning, but then when one hundred thousand plus people
- 18:27Speaker 1: show up, it goes to shit. So I will probably
- 18:31Speaker 1: not be able to be reached at all tomorrow. I
- 18:35Speaker 1: will of course send an alert to the discord with
- 18:38Speaker 1: all of this information, as well as please keep diligent
- 18:43Speaker 1: for any drivers who are sent to the rear. It's
- 18:46Speaker 1: nice that Brad Kiseldowski and Bubba Wallace are starting in
- 18:49Speaker 1: the rear because even if they go through wholesale changes,
- 18:53Speaker 1: it don't matter. They're keeping there in the rear starting position,
- 18:55Speaker 1: which is great for us for dfs, But like I said,
- 18:59Speaker 1: you want to make sure to keep cognizant of drivers
- 19:02Speaker 1: to the rear, and you can always tag me with questions,
- 19:05Speaker 1: but there's a great chance I won't see it till
- 19:09Speaker 1: like after five o'clock in the afternoon when I'm driving
- 19:11Speaker 1: back from Pocono Green. Flagstar time has been moved up
- 19:16Speaker 1: to one in the afternoon as well, so that was
- 19:20Speaker 1: a three o'clock start earlier and now it is a
- 19:22Speaker 1: one o'clock start, which is also fantastic. So anyway, that
- 19:25Speaker 1: is it for me here at ship a Nation. Thank
- 19:29Speaker 1: you once again, and I hope everybody enjoys the tricky
- 19:32Speaker 1: triangle as much as I will on Sunday. We'll be
- 19:36Speaker 1: back next week with San Diego content. Let's ship it.
- 20:02Speaker 2: And still and then still and then still the land
- 20:18Speaker 2: and Hans mothered with my monsted, my mons and mounds
- 20:35Speaker 2: still and lost and then still p
