#draftkings #enjoyillinois300 #nascar After a huge let down last week in what was supposed to be the greatest day in Motorsports, Nascar heads to Gateway/World Wide Technology Raceway. Forecast looks to be a beautiful and slightly warm day. Tire wear should be a little more than we saw in practice since it will be 20 degrees warmer. Track position will still be very important, aero blocking and clean air will also play a big factor. We have seen this preview before this year, the Fords unloaded fast, Toyotas were almost as fast, and the Chevy are out to lunch. But this usually flips once we get into the race. With the Fords actually being much better the last few weeks will they be able to keep up with their practice speed? If you like what you see make sure you subscribe and like this video.

#draftkings #Coke600 #nascar The Greatest Day In Motorsports, Monaco, Indy and Coke 600. Weather looks best in Monaco and worst weather will be Indy (expecting a Monday race) and slight chances in Charlotte. But it will be hot in Charlotte, chances of rain 35%. But can McLaren make 3 podiums today (McLaren is part sponsor with Hendrick this weekend) Will be slick during the day, but once the sun goes down speeds will go up and tempers will also go up.

#draftkings #allstar #nascar After a weekend full of rain (way to much). We hopefully will get a day full of racing. Forecast looks much better for the Open and All Star race, temps will be moderate and not to hot. With 2 different tires to use we will see if this might help the short track package. We are now officially half way thru the regular season and get a chance to watch the top drivers in the sport battle for a Million Dollars. This in my opinion might be some of the best and worst racing we have seen in years. Amazing intermediate track racing but lack luster short track. A day full of racing is just a warm up to next Sunday best day in Motorsports with F1 Monaco, Indy 500 and the Coke 600. If you like what you see make sure you subscribe and like this video.

#draftkings #Goodyear400 #nascar Warm day in Darlington, High of 80 during the race. Will be ideal for tire wear. Could see over 2 seconds or more of fall off after 40 laps. Setups will be key along with track position. After the closest race in Nascar History, we head to Darlington which held that honor for many years. With this year already having so many close finishes we could see another great race. Truck and Xfintiy races were great races, we should see another great race in the Cup race and this car on faster tracks has put on a great show.

#draftkings #AdventHealth400 #nascar Weather looks to be great for the fans, drivers and spotters. mid 60s and cloudy. No real chance of rain for the race. Will be cool and fast, tire wear will play a factor and the track really only has 2 fastest groves, right up next to the wall. Track position will be key and the infamous Aero Block will also play a factor. Dover was pretty straight forward and expect Kansas also to be the same. Track position and gaining spots on pit road will be key. Truck and ARCA race were uneventful, so history says that the Cup race could be a little crazy.

#draftkings #würth400 #nascar Welcome back warm weather and very little chance of rain during the race. They will be starting with a green race track as they did get some rain after the Xfinity race. This could be an issue with tire wear during the first stage, also the race will start with very sunny and 80s. After a fairly expected Talladega last week we get back to more of a tricky lineup, the guys that are high priced are all in good spots to score a lot of DK points, the trick will be who to match them up with. Once again the Xfinity did not disappoint with a great race and even better finish. The trick to Sundays race will be if the tires wear or not. No real good indication during practice since it will be much warmer and sunny. If you like what you see make sure you subscribe and like this video.

#draftkings #Geico500 #nascar The morning does not look good, but chances of rain decrease to about 10-20% by 2:00. It takes about 2.5 hours to dry the track if we do have rain in Dega. Fingers crossed we get the entire race in tomorrow. Coming off a crazy race at Texas, after looking at DK felt more like a Super Speedway than a 1.5 track with all the crazy finishing positions. Congrats to Matt for hitting a huge bag last week. At least he had a great day! If the Cup race is even close to the Xfintiy race it will be a typical Super Speedway DK day, stay away from any top 10 starters and only a few 11-20 starters. But there are a ton of choices starting in the back so should be interesting. If you like what you see make sure you subscribe and like this video.

#draftkings #AutoTrader400 #nascar A warm, dry and breezy day in Texas, no real chance of bad weather so we should have a great day for our last race in Texas for 2024. Finally done with Short Track racing and I really hope Nascar and Goodyear figure out the tire issues before we go back. After another amazing finish in the Xfintiy race being decided by .002 seconds or about 1-2 inches, we are hoping for a great race in the cup series. Tires and fall off will be a factor, the track has a very close second groove, but they are able to make passes. If you like what you see make sure you subscribe and like this video.

#draftkings #ToyotaOwner400 #nascar Back under the lights at Richmond, it's been to long since this has happened and I hope we don't go back. Only issue this weekend is we now have a slight chance for passing showers. Hopefully we do not have to try the wet weather tires, but they have them if needed. The short track package is again being used and so far we have not seen much difference, hopefully we have tire wear like we have seen in the past. Practice did show that we do have some fall off, but unsure if it will be as much as the Xfinity race today. Fingers crossed, Bristol was a lot of fun to watch.

#draftkings #COTA #nascar An absolutely beautiful day for racing, 70's and a little breezy but sunny. We are on a good streak with weather. New paving in places at COTA is making the racing surface a little slick, but making for great racing. The Fords have really struggled so far with this new package and body style. The track is long enough that going laps down should not be an issue, so they will have time to make adjustments before stage 4. But Toyota and Chevy will dominate in the early going. But if history tells us anything late race cautions this could be anyone's race to win or lose. If you like what you see make sure you subscribe and like this video.

#draftkings #FoodCity500 #nascar Again another Cup race with no real weather issue, no rain, wind or even clouds in the forecast for Bristol but will be cooler. Traction compound that was put down in the lower 4 feet of the track seems to be messing with these cars unless it is heated up. So if we have any cloud cover it could really effect the handling of the cars. But if it can keep heat in it will allow 2 or 3 groves of racing.

#draftkings #ShrinersChildren500 #nascar It's a rare Cup race with no real weather issue, no rain, wind or even clouds in the forecast for Phoenix. With the new Short Track/Road Course setup for the cup cars, will we see anything different? Don't think so, after almost 50 laps of practice most of the drivers said "Nope" and might be worse and harder to pass. So guys upfront may still be there unless they have issues.

#draftkings #pennzoil400 #nascar So we have a different type of weather this weekend, wind and very high wind. I know it affects the the car but watching the cars go around it really didn't look to effect the Truck or Xfinity race. So I'm not putting to much into the wind. Feel bad for the spotters on the roof. Done with Super Speedway and high drafting tracks, no to see which drivers have the real stuff this week and we change how we set lineups. Dominator points will be more of something to keep in mind, Place Diff will still be something to keep in mind but need to find 1-2 drivers that will dominate.

#draftkings #ambetter400 #nascar No weather other than sunshine for the entire Nascar weekend, it doesn't happen often so we celebrate when it does. After a not very eventful or big wrecks for both the Truck and Xfinity race will the Cup race be the same? History usually says when the first 2 are clean the 3rd ends up being a mess, but I think most are just trying to get thru the Super Speedways without tearing up to much equipment. We saw Austin Hill win back to back and the last time we were at Atlanta William Byron won the race and he is coming off his win in the Daytona 500, can we see the same thing happen Sunday?

#draftkings #daytona500 #nascar Welcome back for another exciting and hopefully another profitable year! Wouldn't be a Nascar weekend if we didn't have some type of bad weather, Xfinity race has been postponed till Monday, with a little luck they can get the Cup race in tomorrow. The slate is clean and no one has qualified for the playoffs. Who will make it out of Daytona with a win and the first spot in the playoffs. Feeling pretty good after a very profitable Truck race after everyone was involved in some type of incident. But it's super speedway racing and that's how we build our lineups.

Testing out multi stream between Youtube, Rumble and X. Also trying out streaming in VR. Say hi, hope things are going well since the end of Nascar Season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you soon for the start of Nascar in 2024

#draftkings #4Ever400 #nascar Week 4 of sunny weather, not sure what to think about this. Not sure we had 4 weekends of no weather issues this year. WOW (I have to miss next weekend, but could make a Monday race, will I get my wish) Middle of the round of 8 with Larson locked in to the final 4 will anyone join him or will he win again? This is one of his best tracks! Tire wear, Tire wear, Tire wear will be this discussion of the race. Who decides to try something different and try to get the W with strategy.

#draftkings #roval #nascar Back to Back weekends where the weather looks to be almost perfect for racing. Final race of the round of 12. This has the potential to be a crazy race or just another boring road course. With the return of stage breaks coming back will at least add some different strategies. This will add a layer of thought process when building lineups. Good luck and take home some $$$.

#draftkings #YellaWood500 #nascar Finally a weekend with no weather issue, but there will be storms on the track. It will only be a matter of time before we get the BIG ONE! Never know when it will happen, but chances are close to 99% it will happen. Who escapes and who doesn't? 2nd race of the round of 12. We are here to the biggest crapshoot of the playoffs, Daytona was a little boring, but I think this will be anything but. But who will come out on top in Draftkings, if history has anything to say about it, tune in. Good luck and take home some $$$.

#draftkings #hollywoodcasino400 #nascar We visit OZ and the wizard of Oz with no tornado, Midway thru the first round of the Chase and weather looks to be amazing, warm day. Track will be slick and tires will wear out quickly. This seems to be the trouble spot every year in the playoffs. 4 drivers need to have a good race or their playoff dreams of the round of 12 maybe a distant memory. Every year we have multiple Chase drivers shoot themselves in the foot here and will this continue to be the trend? The usual suspects unloaded fast and qualified well. It does make lineup construction a little tough this week with Kyle Busch and Ty Gibbs not qualifying and starting from the back. Place differential won't be as big of an issue as last week, a few drivers to target coming from poor or lack of qualifying but also need to really focus on dominator and finishing spot drivers.

#draftkings #CookOut500 #nascar It's Darlington, the start of the Chase and weather looks to be amazing, warm day but cooling off a little bit for the race. Track will be slick and tires will wear out quickly. They will want and get 4 tires every pit stop. 16 drivers start their journey for a championship. Every year we have multiple Chase drivers shoot themselves in the foot here and sure tonight will be the same. The Chevys struggled during practice and qualifying. Were they setting up for the race or do they have an issue? Will Ford and Toyota be fast on the long run? Tonight will be interesting watching the different strategy. Place differential won't be as big of an issue as last week, a few drivers to target coming from poor qualifying but also need to really focus on dominator and finishing spot drivers.

#draftkings #cokezero400 #nascar It's Daytona and there is always a chance of rain, but forecast looks the best it has since 2018 for the 2nd race at Daytona. So fingers crossed there is no weather tonight. The track is continuing to age, the heat from the day and warm weather will cause tire wear. It will be slippery and could cause the Big One. 17 drivers fighting for the last spot in The Chase! Bubba Wallace is good at Super Speedways and has a points advantage for 16th and final spot. But if he has a mistake or a driver outside of the 15 drivers locked in Bubba could be in trouble. First time we have gone racing this year on a Saturday Night, anything is possible and probably going to happen. The top 10 starting spots are mostly out so we need to target the back half of the field. Dominator points will not be a concerned due to the draft. Fast laps will be shared across the entire field. Will also be spinning the wheel of craziness and set 5 lineups randomly and will see how well it does. Good luck and take home some $$$.

#draftkings #gobowling #nascar Another weekend where weather should not be a concern, it will actually be a very nice day at the track. After one of the strangest Road Course races, because we had gone over 10 years with a 1 caution race. Congrats to McDowell for winning the race. Do not see a repeat this weekend. Much faster track with not as much room for run off. This might be the last realistic chance for Suarez, Bowman, Allmendinger, and Elliott to secure a spot in the Chase! Next week is Daytona and that could be won by anyone. Next week I will go live Saturday at about noon with the race next Saturday night. Good luck and take home some $$$.

#draftkings #Brickyard200 #nascar Finally back home and back on Saturday night. Thanks for baring with me the last few weeks of Vacation, Local Races and Baseball Tournaments. 3 weeks left in the regular schedule with 3 tracks that almost anything could and might happen. With the re-start zone changed, it should help with the craziness in turn 1. It seemed to help in the Xfinity race from earlier tonight. 7 countries represented again for this race, 2 Supercar drivers, F-1 drivers and the best stock car drivers this could still be a little on the crazy side. Only a small chance of rain for Sunday, but Nascar is in town so anything is possible. They have the wet tires if needed and didn't seem to be an issue for the Xfinity race.
