- 0:39Day and welcome to this week's NASCAR Quick Hit here at ship at Nation.
- 0:45I am Eric, also known as the Game on Discord, and we will
- 0:49be discussing the Cookout four hundred at the Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia.
- 0:57And I'm proud of myself remembering to say who I am at the beginning of
- 1:00the video this week, unlike the end of the video I did last week.
- 1:06As always, please go ahead and hit that subscribe button and like and
- 1:11share this video if you haven't already. It really does go a long way
- 1:15in helping us with the YouTube algorithm. As always, let me mention code
- 1:22hoop fifteen. Code Hoop fifteen gives you fifteen percent off any monthly or annual
- 1:30membership plan. And of course we cover the NFL, the NBA, PGA,
- 1:36MMA, NHL, MLB college football, and of course our favorite NASCAR.
- 1:42So once again, that is code hoop fifteen for fifteen percent off a
- 1:48monthly or annual membership. All right, let's go back to our track info
- 1:53page. Here once again, we are focusing on the Cookout four hundred at
- 1:59the Martinsville Speedway, four hundred laps, two hundred and eighty total Dominator points
- 2:06up for grabs this week Okay, a little bit of a network change as
- 2:12well. In America, the race on Sunday will be at three o'clock,
- 2:16and this weekend it's going to be on Fox Sports one, So Fox Sports
- 2:22one at three o'clock in America, and for our friends in Canada, this
- 2:27weekend it is on TSN one, which I think is the main TSN station
- 2:32in Canada, and that is at three o'clock as well, So TSN one
- 2:37in Canada, Fox Sports one in America, and that is at three p
- 2:42m. Eastern time. All right, let's go ahead and break down some
- 2:47of my favorite plays here for this weekend's cookout four hundred at the Martinsville Speedway.
- 2:55And let me pull up my blank version of the stone and the first
- 3:01driver and really the first team who I'm going to start off with this week
- 3:07rather this weekend is Hendrick Motorsports. Okay, Hendrick Motorsports have had this date
- 3:14circled on their calendar for an incredibly long time. It is Hendrick Motorsport's fortieth
- 3:22anniversary, and their drivers, who consist of Kyle Larson, William Byron,
- 3:29Chase Elliott, and Alex Bowman all are sporting a special ruby red paint scheme
- 3:35this weekend at Martinsville. And Martinsville is the home of Hendrick Motorsport's first ever
- 3:42victory back in nineteen eighty four when it was still known as the Winston Cup
- 3:47and Jeff Bodine was driving for them. Okay, so Hendrick has their first
- 3:53ever victory here at Martinsville back in eighty four. It is their forty year
- 3:58anniversary, and they have some tragedy that's struck here at this track. Back
- 4:03in four Hendrick Motorsports sadly lost about I think like nine or ten executives in
- 4:12a tragic plane crash, and those executives were traveling to Martinsville Speedway to watch
- 4:18that Sunday's race, and in that plane crash back in two thousand and four,
- 4:24Rick lost his brother John and his son Ricky. So you can kind
- 4:30of tell and see why that Hendrick Motorsports has this have have had this date
- 4:36circle on the calendar for an incredibly long time, and in an interview with
- 4:42MRN, NASCAR legend and current Hendrick Motorsports executive Jeff Gordon mentioned that they have
- 4:49fifteen hundred guests this weekend at Martinsville. I'm assuming that is executives, friend,
- 5:00family, Hendrick Motorsports, car dealership, people, the whole nine yards.
- 5:05It is a huge weekend for Hendrick Motorsports. Not to mention, they're
- 5:11all damn good here at Martinsville, and they all showed pretty We're all pretty
- 5:15impressive in practice. Of course, Larson is our polesitter. He's probably my
- 5:21favorite dominator play of the entire weekend. We have Chase Elliott, who's starting
- 5:27third, eighty eight hundred, NASCAR's most popular driver, has it one in
- 5:32a while, excellent track history here at Richmond, Richmond, at Martinsville,
- 5:39Alex Bowman, stellar track history here at Martinsville. I think he rolls off
- 5:44tenth, yes, tenth, and William Byron starts eighteenth. He's been great
- 5:48here at Martinsville in the past. Personally, like I mentioned, Larson is
- 5:55my favorite dominator play of the weekend. And I'm going to try to be
- 6:00overweight on each of the Hendry drivers because they are all all going for a
- 6:08victory. They all want to win for Rick Hendrick's fortieth anniversary, and especially
- 6:15here at Martinsville. They're all great place, with Larson being my favorite.
- 6:23Up next, I might as well speak about last week's winner, one,
- 6:27Denny Hamlin. Denny has been stellar here at Martinsville in the past, and
- 6:35pretty much been stellar at like every short track. He is the most expensive
- 6:41driver on both DraftKings and FanDuel this week eleven to five on DraftKings, fourteen
- 6:46thousand on FanDuel. He starts eighth. Track position has always been I shouldn't
- 6:55say always in the next Gen era, which is twenty two and twenty twenty
- 7:00three and now twenty twenty four. Track position has been key here at martin
- 7:06Zille because it has been incredibly hard to pass. Is that going to be
- 7:13the case on Sunday? No one knows. As Nascar, I believe,
- 7:15has brought a different tire and they have a different package here this year as
- 7:23opposed to the previous years. However, I don't think any of that's gonna
- 7:26start stop Hamlin from getting up towards the front. He's starting eighth already top
- 7:30ten. He's dominated here in the past. Joe Gibbs Racing as a whole
- 7:38is trending upwards. Best team maybe in NASCAR right now. Maybe they're one
- 7:43A to Hendricks one B or vice versa. Can't go wrong with Denny Hamlin
- 7:49this week up next, I like to focus on Chase brisco and I kinda
- 7:58want to focus on Stuart Hawes racing here as a whole. As you can
- 8:03see, I'm gonna highlight here. They're priced all pretty much together on DraftKings.
- 8:09We have Chase Briscoe at seventy five hundred, Josh Berry at seventy four,
- 8:13Ryan Priest at seventy two, and Noah Gregson at seventy one hundred.
- 8:18In my mind, they are all smash plays this weekend. Chase Briscoe starting
- 8:24fifth. He has been stellar here in the past. I believe he led
- 8:30one hundred and nine laps here last spring, had an excellent, excellent race.
- 8:35Has found himself up here up towards the front and Martinsville races in the
- 8:39past, and this track just seems to suit him. Not to mention,
- 8:43he was pretty decent in practice this weekend, So I love Chase Briscoe.
- 8:50Josh Barry has been trending upwards. He was he was pretty good last week
- 8:54in Martinsville, and these short flat tracks really suit his driving style. He
- 9:01rolls off seventh this weekend. Seventy four hundred. Doesn't have much next gen
- 9:09experience here at Martinsville, I don't believe, but mar his crew chief Rodney
- 9:15Childers, sure does, and he has been stellar here at Martinsville in the
- 9:20Infinity Series. So I love Josh Berry this weekend. Ryan Priesce awesome here
- 9:26at Martinsville as well. He was he put a stinker up at this race
- 9:31last year. I believe he led I think over one hundred laps as well.
- 9:37I'm not sure how many laps Ryan Priest led here at the springtime last
- 9:39year, but he was dominating the early stages of that race until a pit
- 9:45road penalty put him back towards the pack. He's at seventy two hundred,
- 9:48rolls off twenty second. I think he's a great play. And Noah Gregson.
- 9:54I don't believe Noah has much track time here on a next gen car
- 9:58as well, but he has kind of been, at least for that first
- 10:01little portion of the season, has been the shining light, so to speak.
- 10:05With Stewart Haas Racing, he is the cheapest of the bunch this week
- 10:09at seventy one hundred he rolls off twenty six. I think they're all fantastic
- 10:16plays. This weekend, I will probably have more Brisco Barry Priest than I
- 10:20do of Gregson, but I will have exposure to all four. And my
- 10:26final driver outline to discuss this week is one Todd Gilliland, and I guess
- 10:31I'm going to consider him my favorite budget play of the week, even though
- 10:35he's sixty two hundred. A lot of these guys down here don't really impress
- 10:41me all too much that they'll'll probably be playing some Hemmerick and Williams just because
- 10:48they're cheap price tag lets me get some other higher end options into play.
- 10:54But Todd Gilliland sixty two hundred, He qualified sixteenth, He was pretty good
- 11:00in practice, and he's been pretty good here at in general. Truthfully,
- 11:07is he knocking down the door to win every week? No? Is He
- 11:13sixty two hundred dollars starting sixteenth and can hopefully keep it up there, assuming
- 11:18it is hard to pass like it has been years previously. I'll take my
- 11:24chances he's been He's been good this year, and front Row in general has
- 11:30been good. His teammate Michael McDowell starts thirty fifth sixty three hundred. The
- 11:37only reason I'm not he's a little spoiler. Lord, I have him down
- 11:39as a cash play in the finalized version of the Stone McDowell, I mean
- 11:46just because he starts thirty fifth, but compared to Gilliland, McDowell wasn't all
- 11:52that good in practice or qualifying. So that's why I am choosing Gilly over
- 11:58McDowell this week for my quote unquote budget play of the week. That's actually
- 12:05all I have to go over right now for the Cookout four hundred at Martinsville,
- 12:11I have some projections to finish up and as well as a slate plan
- 12:18to write, so I'm gonna go ahead and let everybody go. As always,
