- 1:59All right, let's go ahead and move on to today's NASCAR slate.
- 2:05Today's race is at the LAS Vegas Motor Speedway. The track distance is a
- 2:12one and a half mile trioval. We have two hundred and sixty seven laps
- 2:16on deck and the pre race coverage begins at three o'clock with green flag dropping
- 2:23right around three thirty. And TV coverage is once again on the Fox Network
- 2:30for those in America and on TSN five for our great friends up north in
- 2:37Canada. All right, let's go ahead here and chain screens here and go
- 2:43over the stone, a blank version of the stone for this week's Las Vegas
- 2:50race. And what the first thing I want to highlight is we have a
- 2:54brand new addition to the stone. That's right, We now have practice,
- 3:01not a game, not a game. We talk about practice. The first
- 3:07two weeks of the NASCAR season was brought to us on super speedway style racetracks
- 3:14at Daytona in Atlanta, and at those style of racetracks there is no actual
- 3:21practice. So we got now that we are on a mile and a half
- 3:27track and not a super speedway package, we get actual practice data which we
- 3:34now include on the NASCAR Stone. So I want to highlight here we have
- 3:38our one lap fast lap single rank, one lap fast lap time as well
- 3:46as ten lap average rank and ten lap average time. Okay, So now
- 3:52on the stone you will get the practice data. And also someone asked that
- 3:58we also include the dry name all the way over here on the fore right
- 4:01column of the stone. We have added that as well. All right,
- 4:06let's go ahead and discuss some drivers for today. And I'm gonna take the
- 4:15easy road here and start off with probably the pick, well, definitely the
- 4:21pick the Vegas odds on favorite to win today's race at Las Vegas, and
- 4:27that is Kyle Larson. Kyle Larson is eleven thousand dollars on DraftKings, fourteen
- 4:33thousand on fandel and he starts second today at the Pennzoil four hundred. He
- 4:43was ninth in single lap practice, but he was first overall in ten lap
- 4:49averages. Okay, and he qualified second. Now why is he the Vegas
- 4:55odds on favorite to win this race? Well, he is a stud here.
- 5:00Well, he's a stud everywhere, but he is particularly a stud here
- 5:04at Las Vegas. Over the past four Las Vegas races, which are the
- 5:10four races in the Next Gen era, Kyle has led two hundred and twenty
- 5:15three laps and he has finishes of first, second, thirty fifth and second,
- 5:23So you take away that little thirty fifth place outlier there you get a
- 5:28first, a second, and a second. With two hundred and twenty three
- 5:32laps led, he will definitely be in a ton of my lineups today and
- 5:39I would say he's probably the top dominator play for today. Next up,
- 5:46a driver I would like to focus is William Byron. Will good Old Willie
- 5:50B starts fourth and of course is Kyle Larson's teammate at Hendrick Motorsports, and
- 5:59much like Kyle, Willy B also does a phenomenal job here at Las Vegas.
- 6:06He was eighth in the one lap single lap practice speeds, but he
- 6:14was second in the ten lap speeds, right behind Kyle. And over the
- 6:19past four races, Willy B has led one hundred and eighty five laps and
- 6:26has finishes of seventh, first, thirteenth, and fifth. And I believe
- 6:31I don't have the odds currently listed on this spreadsheet, but they are on
- 6:34the full Stone. I currently believe he is the second odds on favorite.
- 6:42I think Larson's currently a plus three fifty. I think Byron's a plus six
- 6:46hundred okay to win this race, so incredibly similar stats to Larson is starting
- 6:54fourth, which should be right behind Larson, so I expected good solid day.
- 7:00Will he be next up? I would like to focus on is Tyler
- 7:04Reddick. Tyler Reddick is pulling off the grid eighteenth today and was third in
- 7:13the ten lap averages, so starting eighteenth but third and ten lap average speed,
- 7:18so he should be able to work his way through the field this afternoon.
- 7:24He also has a stellar history here at Vegas and basically at mile and
- 7:30a half's in general. He has finishes here of eighteenth, fifteenth, sixth,
- 7:36and seventh over the past four races. However, he has one victory
- 7:43at Kansas, which is an incredibly similar high tirewar one and a half mile
- 7:48racetrack, and he won there just last year. So, like I said,
- 7:54Tyler, I think he was fourth. Yeah, he was fourth in
- 7:58single lap practic this speeds and third in the ten lap averages. Starting off
- 8:05eighteenth should give you some pretty nice place differential there if everything goes as planned.
- 8:11And the final driver I would like to focus on is Ross chas Stain.
- 8:18Where he's at here at right here, He's coming in at ninety one
- 8:22hundred on DraftKings nine thousand on fandels so pretty close there in price and he
- 8:28is rolling off twentieth. Now, one thing I want to highlight here is
- 8:33his practice speeds. He was the fastest in single lap practice at a twenty
- 8:41nine to three to five. However, he was in the very first practice
- 8:46group, and I do believe they had preferred practice conditions and during the practice
- 8:54session something I actually don't think I've seen before during practice or the wind was
- 9:01whipping so fierce at Las Vegas that the vinyl wrap that they put on his
- 9:09car for his paint scheme was actually peeling up off of the hood. So
- 9:16I kind of think that led to his twenty to his twenty second ranking for
- 9:20his ten lap average speeds. Ross has been a boss here at Vegas.
- 9:28Earlier we talked about Kyle Larson led two hundred and twenty three laps over four
- 9:33races and Willie b led one hundred and eighty five laps. Well, Ross
- 9:39has led. Actually I had that up here and I lost it. Where
- 9:43did it go? One second? Sorry, folks, I had this all
- 9:54here and I closed it when I closed my thing. While I pick up
- 10:01the laps, lad that Ross Chastain is led here where we are where we
- 10:11at Rosch Justine. Here we go. Ross has led one hundred and fifty
- 10:24one laps here at Las Vegas UH and has a very very steady finish history
- 10:33here with finishes of oh one second. I lost all my Ross Chastain stats
- 10:45I had handy for you here, folks. This is the joy of live
- 10:56YouTube recording. Here we go, Here we go, This is what I
- 11:03was looking for. Yes, So, over the past four races, Ross
- 11:07has finishes of fifth, twelfth, second, and third here at Las Vegas.
- 11:13All of those finishes came with Team track House and he starts twentieth today.
- 11:22So he starts twentieth today, has an incredible track history here at Vegas
- 11:28and should also give you some pretty solid place differential, just like Tyler Reddick.
- 11:35So that's it. That's all I am going to go over for now,
- 11:39as far as my some of my favorite plays for today's slate. As
