  All systems gone clear were lifting. Good morning and happy race day, and
• 0:40
  welcome to our very first NASCAR quick hit here on ship at Nation. I
• 0:46
  am Eric, also known as the Game on Discord, and we are about
• 0:51
  to break down NASCAR's greatest race of the season, the Daytona five hundred.
• 0:58
  But before we do that, let's go ahead and give a little plug here.
• 1:03
  I'm new to this, so let me scroll down here to our dgenpromo.
• 1:07
  One second. Guys, I swear I practiced this and now I can't
• 1:12
  find it. Here we go code DGEN fifteen. If you are living under
• 1:19
  a rock, perhaps you would not have not heard of ship it Nation and
• 1:25
  DGEN seventy five merging. So if you are not already a member over at
• 1:30
  ship a Nation, please go ahead and check out those membership plans over at
• 1:34
  ship atnation dot com and use code DGEN fifteen for fifteen percent off any membership.
• 1:42
  Okay, So, if you're familiar with DJEN seventy five, he used
• 1:47
  to only cover golf PGA or golf is PGA, PGA, NFL, and
• 1:53
  college football. Well, now with the merger with ship at Nation, now
• 1:57
  we cover all of the sports, NFL, NBA, PGA MMA, which
• 2:04
  UFC two ninety eight is happening right now as I'm recording this quick video,
• 2:07
  NHL MLB college football, and of course NASCAR, which we're going to be
• 2:14
  breaking down this morning. So once again, that is code DJN fifteen over
• 2:19
  at chip atnation dot com for fifteen percent off any plan. So let's go
• 2:23
  ahead here, and I think if I just do this and then I do
• 2:29
  this, look at that, it looks nice perfect, all right, everybody,
• 2:34
  we are going to break down the two thousand and twenty four Daytona five
• 2:38
  hundred before we go over the brand new stone for NASCAR, let's go ahead
• 2:47
  and discuss where you actually watch the race. I'm assuming we have some new
• 2:52
  NASCAR fans watching this stream this morning, So the race in America will be
• 3:00
  on Fox, and for our great friends in Canada, the race is going
• 3:04
  to be on TSN four and the pre race coverage begins at two o'clock Eastern
• 3:10
  time. Now, while I am recording this, I did want to quickly
• 3:15
  mention that there is inclement weather in Daytona. In fact, the today's Infinity
• 3:23
  race has already been canceled and been pushed to Monday, so there is a
• 3:29
  chance that today's Daytona five hundred gets rain delayed or pushed to Monday. That
• 3:37
  will not affect anything with what we're discussing today. Our place and strategy stays
• 3:42
  the same. However, if there is any late breaking news concerning the slate,
• 3:46
  I will make sure to update the Discord channel. All right, so
• 3:52
  let's go ahead and break down the slate. Daytona five hundred. Okay,
• 3:59
  what is it if you're new, et cetera, et cetera. It is
• 4:03
  the quote unquote super Bowl of NASCAR, and it happens on what's known as
• 4:09
  a super speedway racetrack. Okay, there's four types of tracks in NASCAR,
• 4:15
  superspeedways, intermediates, road courses, and short tracks. Superspeedways are really your
• 4:23
  lottery of Nascar. Okay, most weeks we're going to be talking about potential
• 4:30
  dominators drivers we think who might lead the most laps or have a lot of
• 4:35
  fast laps, you know, potential dominators of the race. Not this week.
• 4:42
  That is not a thing at all this week. Okay. In fact,
• 4:46
  the only thing we are focused on for the Daytona five hundred, and
• 4:50
  really any super speedway race in general, is place differential. Okay, place
• 4:59
  differential. I am very confidently when I build all of my lineups here in
• 5:04
  a few short hours, going to click off any driver who starts within the
• 5:11
  top fifteen. Okay, that means some heavy hitters, to be honest with
• 5:16
  you. You have Joey Logano who comes in at ninety two hundred on DraftKings,
• 5:21
  He's the polesitter. Denny Hamblin ten thousand on DraftKings, he's starting eighth.
• 5:30
  Chase Elliott, NASCAR's most popular driver, he's starting fifth. I'm fading
• 5:34
  all of these drivers, okay, because the name of the game is simply
• 5:40
  placed differential at racetracks like Daytona, and they are racing essentially in a large
• 5:47
  pack at all times. Okay. An accident can happen at any time and
• 5:55
  can take out half of the field. If there is a lottery in NASCAR
• 6:00
  or in DFS, a true lottery, it is the super Speedway races.
• 6:06
  And in fact, we in the discord over the Ship in Nation discord watch
• 6:11
  the truck race on Friday evening and some were quite amazed at the number of
• 6:17
  incidents in that race. Now, I don't expect twelve cautions in this Daytona
• 6:24
  five hundred. However, I do expect a few multi car crashes that will
• 6:31
  greatly change lineups around. So moving on here from considering the fact that we're
• 6:43
  fading the top fifteen, we really want to focus on drivers starting sixteenth through
• 6:51
  fortieth, with a big, big, big lean on driver starting twentieth through
• 7:01
  fortieth. Okay, if you are mass multi entering, if you are playing
• 7:08
  the Millie Maker, if you're entering one hundred and fifty lineups, you may
• 7:13
  want to consider giving a driver that's starting between fifteenth and twentieth a little bit
• 7:18
  of exposure because there is some heavy hitters in there. Starting fifteenth. We
• 7:25
  are rather starting sixteenth. I believe where is he at here to brag Kisilowski?
• 7:32
  I believe is starting sixteenth if I can find him. Yes, so
• 7:36
  Brad Kiselowski is starting sixteenth. He is an excellent super speedway racer. I
• 7:44
  wrote about him, I believe in the Core report or Slate report over on
• 7:48
  Shibbitt Nation's website. I forget the name of which one I wrote him on,
• 7:54
  but he is an excellent super speedway driver. Almost made it into Victory
• 8:01
  Lane last season, didn't quite get there. Starts sixteenth today. I'll have
• 8:11
  some shares of him, not a lot, but I will have some shares.
• 8:15
  The same goes for Kyle Larson. He rolls off seventeenth. Uh.
• 8:20
  He's a Hendrick Motorsports driver. If you're not familiar with Kyle Larson, he
• 8:26
  is one of the best race car drivers in the world. He can jump
• 8:31
  in any car and drive it to the best of his abilities and get the
• 8:37
  most out of that car. He's not known for being the best super speedway
• 8:45
  racer. However, he is starting seventeenth. He is in a plus tier
• 8:52
  one, the best equipment at Hendrick Motorsports. It's hard for me to click
• 8:58
  off of Kyle Larson every week, and I won't this week. I just
• 9:05
  won't have a lot of him. Okay. So focusing now on our bread
• 9:11
  and butter drivers are our twenty first through or twentyth through fortieth place, okay,
• 9:16
  including what will be the chalk of the race and the chalk of the
• 9:24
  race here will be the driver starting in the thirty second and thirty fourth position,
• 9:30
  which is Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch. Two quick thoughts on them.
• 9:35
  Ryan Blaney, who is starting thirty second, is the twenty twenty three NASCAR
• 9:41
  Sprint Cup champion, actually NASCAR Cup champion. I don't think it's not Sprint
• 9:43
  Cup anymore. NASCAR Cup champion. And he has the best average finish on
• 9:50
  next gen super speedway tracks since they've switched to the next gen car, which
• 9:56
  is the twenty twenty two season. Okay, he starts thirty second. He
• 10:01
  is a popular driver. We expect him to be very heavily owned, but
• 10:07
  for good reason. He is a good play, and the sam goes for
• 10:11
  Kyle Busch. Kyle Busch is chasing his first Daytona of five hundred victory.
• 10:16
  He's starting thirty fourth today. Fun fact, last year he actually crossed the
• 10:24
  finish line at the five hundred mile mark of the Daytona five hundred. However,
• 10:28
  that happened during NASCAR overtime and an accident happened, and I believe one
• 10:35
  or two more accidents happened after the fact, and he finished then I think
• 10:41
  fourteenth or fifteenth. So Kyle Busch, great play, very popular on this
• 10:48
  slate, starting thirty fourth. Someone else or two other drivers want to focus
• 10:54
  on one who I consider a cash play, but who's just really a good
• 10:58
  play all around. Is David Reagan. David Reagan is starting fortieth, which
• 11:05
  is dead last. He cannot lose us any points this week. He comes
• 11:11
  incredibly cheap at sixty five hundred. He is also in a RFK which is
• 11:18
  Raush Fenway Kaseilowski Racing Car, which is what Brad Kasilowski is also driving.
• 11:24
  And he's a pretty good super speedway driver. He's a part time driver now.
• 11:31
  Had two super speedway victories back in the twenty teens. I think one
• 11:37
  was maybe twenty eleven to twenty thirteen if I'm remembering correctly off the top of
• 11:41
  my head. And he ran a few super speedway races over the past few
• 11:46
  years for Rickware Racing and he was solid. I don't expect him to necessarily
• 11:54
  win the race tomorrow or today, but I think he's gonna get some pretty
• 12:03
  good place differential points, so he's definitely going to be pretty heavily owned in
• 12:07
  my lineups. Also, Ricky Stenhouse Junior is in the back here. He
• 12:13
  starts thirty fifth, and for the super speedway racer he is, I don't
• 12:20
  think he's going to get as much ownership as Ryan Blaney or Kyle Busch.
• 12:26
  Ricky Stenhouse Junior is last year's Daytona five hundred champion and has won one or
• 12:35
  two super speedway races other than that. In fact, all of his victories
• 12:39
  I think, which is three throughout his career have come on super speedways.
• 12:43
  There's heavy hitters here in the back. Like I mentioned earlier with Ryan Blaney
• 12:48
  and Kyle Busch, I kind of think Ricky Stenhouse is going to get overlooked.
• 12:54
  And he starts thirty fifth, which is three spots behind Blaney, in
• 12:58
  one spot behind Kyle. And one more driver that I wanted to mention is
• 13:05
  Austin Dylan. Austin Dylon starts thirty third and is the teammate of Kyle Busch.
• 13:13
  Austin had a terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible twenty twenty three season.
• 13:18
  However, he is a previous Daytona five hundred winner. He does give
• 13:26
  us place differential. He is in the same equipment as Kyle Busch, and
• 13:33
  he has got it done here in the past. Okay, so don't be
• 13:39
  afraid to click on Austin Dillon's name. One other driver who I actually did
• 13:45
  not have wrote down here, but I did want to highlight since I'm looking
• 13:48
  at the stone is Riley herbst Okay, Riley Herbs is dirt cheap fifty one
• 13:54
  dollars, starts thirty six. He is a good little super speedway racer.
• 14:01
  He's raced a few races in the Cup Series and I believe has two top
• 14:07
  tens in super speedways. And even though this is a rick Ware Racing car,
• 14:13
  it's actually prepared by Stuart Haas Racing. Okay, so not that salary
• 14:20
  is any concern at all this week. If you are looking for a punt
• 14:28
  play, so to speak, Riley Herbs starting thirty six is probably going to
• 14:33
  get overlooked and if he can manage his way through the accidents, could end
• 14:39
  up looking pretty nicely in your lineups here at the end of the day.
• 14:43
  So that's everything that I have for now for this NASCAR quickcit video. Like
• 14:48
  I said, this is our very first one here at Ship at Nation,
• 14:54
  the very first one of the NASCAR season, and the very first one I've
• 14:58
  ever done. In fact, I was pining to go on camera, but
• 15:01
  my green screen didn't come today like it was supposed to, and I didn't
• 15:05
  want you guys seeing the clutter that is behind me. So I'm gonna go
• 15:09
  ahead and bid you guys good night once again, or rather a good morning
• 15:15
  so once again, though if you forgot please if you have not yet subscribed
• 15:24
