#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. Good luck and take home some $$$. Let me know in the comments if you happen to hit for a good score or shoot me an email mark@racinginthedraft.com

#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. Good luck and take home some $$$. Let me know in the comments if you happen to hit for a good score or shoot me an email mark@racinginthedraft.com

#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. Good luck and take home some $$$. Let me know in the comments if you happen to hit for a good score or shoot me an email mark@racinginthedraft.com

#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. Good luck and take home some $$$. Let me know in the comments if you happen to hit for a good score or shoot me an email mark@racinginthedraft.com

#draftkings #richmondraceway #nascar I preview the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway! I Break down the drivers, past stats, practice and qualifying for Sunday's Race. Sorry about the inconsistency doing videos. One more next week while I travel again to watch son play at Cooperstown. Depending on Wi-fi or lack of, I might have to do video and upload. But stay tuned. Weather looks actually good this weekend. But will be hot, not as hot as practice but still very warm with little to no chance of rain. We might actually have tire wear play a factor in this race. Lots of strategy, comers and goers, green flag stops, maybe even some crazy pay backs from last week. A few surprises from practice and qualifying. There are a few sneaky pics but there will be a lot of highly owned drivers. Who should you take and not take. Tune in and let me know your thoughts in the chat. I did get the Discord channel up and kinda running. Just need to find more time in my week to get some content uploaded there.

Should be back to normal schedule next week and then it will be interesting the following week as my son plays at Cooperstown for baseball. Weather looks actually good this weekend. Finally a break from all the rain for Nascar and the NBC jinx. A few surprises from practice and qualifying. There are a few sneaky pics but there will be a lot of highly owned drivers.

#draftkings #newhampshire #nascar I preview the Crayon 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway! I Break down the drivers, past stats, practice and qualifying for (hopefully) Sunday's Race. Groundhog day again. Weather again looks to be an issue again this weekend. We just need a weekend that rain is not in the forecast, 2 weeks in a row we have had delays and shortened races and doesn't look good for Sunday. Also the New England area doesn't need anymore rain. A few surprises from practice and qualifying. There are a few sneaky pics but there will be a lot of highly owned drivers. Who should you take and not take.

#draftkings #Atlanta #nascar I preview the Quaker State at Atlanta Motor Speedway! I Break down the drivers, past stats, and qualifying for Sunday's Race. Np practice for Super Speedway type of tracks. Weather again looks to maybe an issue again this weekend. We just need a weekend that rain is not in the forecast, last week was enough rain for the rest of they year. These races are always a crap shot, but there are ways to play them and ways not to play them, lets discuss and see what happens. I did get the Discord channel up and kinda running.

#draftkings #chicago #nascar I preview the Grant Part 220 on Streets of Chicago! I Break down the drivers, past stats, practice and qualifying for Sunday's Race. Weather again looks to maybe an issue again this weekend. But as long as there is just a little rain the race looks to be good to go. Xfinity will race in the morning and then it will be the Cup cars in the afternoon. Not sure what to make of this race. It will be a crap shoot, lineups might be all place differential but could also be a track position, passing will be tough unless there is carnage and we could see a ton or none. Really not sure which way to go with this race. But lets discuss, join the chat. I did get the Discord channel up and kinda running.

#Draftkings #NashvilleSuperSpeedway #nascar I preview the Ally 400 at Nashville Super Speedway! I Break down the drivers, past stats, practice and qualifying for Sunday's Race. Weather looks to be tricky today, storms early and maybe even about the time of green flag. We may see delays and a track with no rubber at the start of the race. Very loose conditions regardless of temperature, sunshine and rubber on the track I did get the Discord channel up and kinda running.

#Draftkings #cocacola600 #nascar I preview the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway! I Break down the drivers, past stats because once again practice and qualifying were canceled for Sunday's Race. Once again we have had weather during race weekend, it has canceled practice, qualifying and might even push the race to Monday or even Tuesday. So the only thing we have to go on is past history at Charlotte, similar track types and who is currently trending in the right direction. 400 laps and 3 stage breaks will make strategies interesting. Tire wear keeps being a bigger issue each year that the surface ages. This is a great thing, it makes the racing much better. Last year was very exciting for most of the race, we had weather issues last year, then late cautions that caused GWC finish. Tune and give me your thoughts about who you like.

#Draftkings #allstar #nascar Nascar I preview the All Start Race 2023 at North Wilkesboro! I Break down the drivers, practice, heat races, and the Open race for Sunday's Race. After a crazy test session on wet weather tires for the heat races. We have set the field for the All-Star Race. Weather looks to be good for the actual race, In my opinion this race should be 100 laps longer, but because it will be short everyone will be in a hurry to make moves. Still looks like we have a short track issue with it being very hard to pass, but since this is a non points race they will be very quick to use the chrome horn and move a driver out of the way!!! Tire wear will also be a big issue even with only 200 laps for this race. To be honest, I always scratch my head when it comes to making lineups for these small field and different format races. Pricing should not be an issue since most of the field is under 10k in price. I did get the Discord channel up and kinda running.

#Draftkings #darlington #Nascar I preview the 13th race of 2023 at Darlington Raceway for throwback weekend! I Break down the drivers, practice and Qualifying, and past stats for Sunday's Race. Slight chances of Thunderstorm, but not expecting anything significant and Darlington does have lights, would actually be kinda cool to see it finish under the lights. Since Atlanta got repaved Darlington is the track with the most tire wear. They will be a premium and lots of differing strategies will be very interesting. We should see a few comers and goers. Will Toyota and Chevy continue beating up on the Fords? We welcome back Ryan Newman for a few races, but will be driving a Rick Ware car. How much ownership will Rocketman get? Do you think its a good play? We are in store for a great race. I did get the Discord channel up and kinda running. Just need to find more time in my week to get some content uploaded there.

#Draftkings #dega #Nascar I preview the 10th race of 2023 at Talladega Super Speedway! I Break down the drivers, Qualifying, and past stats for Sunday's Race. There was no practice for this event. After a run of short track we now go to the biggest oval on the schedule and the chances for anyone to get the win. Well more chances today then at any other track. The great equalizer to say the least and always the chance for the "Big One" Can we see a new winner, a new winner this year or do we see a second or even a third time winner in our first 10 races.

#Draftkings #martinsvillespeedway #Nascar I preview the 9th race of 2023 at Martinsville Speedway! I Break down the drivers, Practice, Qualifying and past stats for Sunday's Race. It was a very interesting difference from Practice to Qualifying, The fast cars in practice were decent in qualifying but the normal fast guys at Martinsville missed it in Qualifying. Stewart Haus really hit it for qualifying but not sure they will be there for the race. I think they have a decent run but will fade to much to have much ownership. I do think Kevin Harvick of the Haus cars will be the best and might even get a win. Will be a fair amount of chalk today but think there are some real opportunities for guys that will get over looked. I did get the Discord channel up and kinda running.

#Draftkings #BristolDirt #Nascar I preview the 8th race of 2023 at Bristol Motor Speedway! I Break down the drivers, No Practice, Heat Races and past stats for Sunday's Race. No practice due to rain on Friday, but they got the Heat Races in on Saturday afternoon, they looked fast and the dirt is in great shape. Lots of opportunities from the rear of the field. The Dirt Track guys will be chasing the track and the grove all night. Attrition will be a factor today, not quite Super Speedway but will be something to be aware of when setting up lineups. Can my driver make it 2 in a row? Will a Dirt Track expert finally find Victory lane tonight? When do we start calling Joey Logano a dirt track expert?

#Draftkings #Richmond #Nascar I preview the 7th race of 2023 at Richmond Raceway! I Break down the drivers, No Practice, No Qualifying and stats for Sunday's Race. Baseball got rained out this weekend and also did Qualifying and Practice. But almost at my regular time. Thanks for joining! Lots of Chalk today, also some good cheap options this week with Qualifying being rained out. Also no practice so will be interesting to see who hit their set ups correctly. Will the top line come in or did the batch of heavy rain last night wash off any rubber. It will be a single grove track at least for the first stage, but by the end I think the middle and a few will go to the top groove. Tire wear will be a big factor today, last year we saw drivers make huge moves in the last 50 laps of both races. It will be similar today. Maybe this week will be the week for my guy Kyle Larson. He is decent at these tracks and I get to go, so just maybe. But there are lots of guys I like just as much or better for DK lineups. I did get the Discord channel up and kinda running.

#Draftkings #COTA #Nascar I preview the 6th race of 2023 at Circuits of The Americas! I Break down the drivers, practice, qualifying and stats for Sunday's Race. No Baseball this weekend so normal time, thanks for joining. After a successful Truck and Xfinity day in Draftkings, this becomes a little more tricky. Lots of drivers who are good at Road Courses that are starting close to the front, a few starting way in the back. Lots of new "Road Course Ringers" will be interesting to see how they do. Usually its not worth putting them in the DK lineup, but will be fun to watch them try to handle big slow stock cars. They are finally not throwing the caution for stage breaks, so cautions if we have them will be natural instead of planned. Much better for natural race script. Tire wear will be an issue today, saw mechanical issues in the 2 races on Saturday so there is also that issue. Will we have a surprise winner today, will it be par for the course, Reddick, Larson or AJ? Maybe a return for the Watermelon smash! Will Toyota finally make it to victory lane? Hopefully this week I will get a Discord channel setup to start discussion through the week and weekend.

#Draftkings #atlantamotorspeedway #Nascar I preview the 5th race of 2023 at Atlanta Motor Speedway! I Break down the drivers, no practice, qualifying and stats for Sunday's Race. Late night edition, due to son's baseball tournament starting at 9am and going till after green flag. So here is my breakdown late at night. Come enjoy a beverage with me. Atlanta is still acting a lot like a Super Speedway (Daytona and Dega) but the track is starting to weather and handling is becoming more of a factor. I think by next year we will not be considering this a major drafting track. We saw very loose race cars/trucks today also cars spinning on their own in qualifying. We will still see pack racing but we will have some separation in the field, may cut down on the "Big One". But think we will see the drivers and crews that hit on the setup run better. Tire wear will also be more of a factor than last year or what we see at the Super Speedways. Will Hendrick cars still dominate? Will Fords be as fast as they were in practice? Where did the Toyota speed go? Things to think about while setting up your lineups. Hit me up in the chat with your fantasy picks, who you think will win and who you will be avoiding today. Good Luck today, enjoy the race and hopefully make a few $$

#Draftkings #phoenix #Nascar I preview the 4th race of 2023 at Phoenix Raceway! I Break down the drivers, practice, qualifying and stats for Sunday's Race. Thanks Draftkings for locking my account yesterday when I was on mobile hotspot and still keeping it locked. Free my account!!! Chase Elliott is out this weekend and probably a few weeks, Josh Berry is the substitute. Like last week Xfinity have not had a lot of place differential, there is only a few guys starting towards the rear that you can target but my thought is most of the points will come from the top 20 again this week. Will this be the week Kyle Larson rebounds from a rough start, will we get a surprise winner? Hit me up in the chat with your fantasy picks, who you think will win and who you will be avoiding today. Good Luck today, enjoy the race and hopefully make a few $$
