Short flat tracks and the hi-df hi-hp package

New Hampshire is not Martinsville or Phoenix, but they have flat corners and are one mile or less. You can look at NH historical data, but that’s in the old package. There’s never been much passing at NH, but this year could be the worst race of the season. Maybe, we can look at Richmond, too, but let’s start with Phoenix. What happened at Phoenix? You could go over to YouTube and watch the race again, but I’ve got you covered.

Post Sonoma 2018 race notes

Post Sonoma 2018 - Podcast race notes

Sonoma doesn’t matter this week….it’s not going to help us this week But I want to go over something while it’s fresh on my mind You might want to Bookmark the CHicago script or podcast for when NASCAR goes to Watkins Glen & the Charlotte Roval In my article...and the cheat sheet...and the slack chat I was very vocal with my view on scoring and the pricing DK did not price the drivers correctly….Busch and Harvick were way too high They werent in play Truex was just close enough that you couldn’t write him off I was completely wrong ….but let’s walk through this It’s a stage race at road course There should be varying pit strategies Pit early….stay out….or just a completely different cycle No one should lead a lot of laps Fast laps should get spread around too…..you could not pay for harvick You just couldn't Not only did harvick have to run a perfect race He would need the race to play out pefectly It was the same situation for Truex ….and yet…..somehow that happened The race went completely green No cautions…...no opportunities to vary pit strategy I never even considered that a possibility Hindsight is 20/20…..of course if the race goes green….Harvick and Truex can top 70 points…and they can hit 6x. All I needed was one caution…..and there is a good chance that they don't hit 6x I do not remember that last race without a caution I was totally wrong this week…..the race went green and fading the 10k drivers didn't work If there prices are too high again at WG,....I’ve got to roll with the same strategy…..I can’t bet on a NO caution race What was the statistical odds of that happening? …..another thing…..that was pretty bad race The cars were spread out all day….it was like watching some drive on a country road all day I’m about to start a campaign to bring back the Debris caution Maybe I’m a fake fan…. I dont know…..but I used to love road course races…..but now they’re boring and hard to follow….Jones and Bowman looked average to bad all day….Jones was wrecking….Bowman at one point was holding up 6 cars…….then they get a top 10? That doesn’t make sense Is that racing? Is that a good show for the fans to see fluky pit strategy top 10s? Is that fun for the drivers? Is that what Sonoma wants to be know for? Does anyone really want that? I know nothing about F1….but they race at road courses…. I can’t imagine that’s how there races play out….every week the top 10 drivers are flukes Their top 10 ...I would imagine is the best cars Why can’t that happen in NASCAR? Why can’t the top 10 ….be the top 10 best cars?

I am sticking to my word, I will not sell individual sheets for April. However, if you did not buy the April package, but want the Talladega sheets, then I will budge a little.

If you buy the May package and add $10, then I will throw in the Dega sheets (or $5 if you only want one Dega sheet). This is not a deal because I do not want to short change the people that purchased the April package.

Improvements to the Fantasy Racing Alexa App

Amazon Echo and Fantasy NASCAR Content

You can get the Fantasy NASCAR Podcast, by simply asking Alexa to play the "fantasy NASCAR podcast." You need to add the TuneIn radio skill in the Alexa app, but it's easy, click here for the directions.

Did you know that I have also created a flash briefing skill that I am improving each week? If you ask for the news, I'll pop on and give you audio tips and updates, but that't not all. Alexa will read fantasy NASCAR scores, notes, and articles that I program.

Click here for directions on how to add this skill and get your amazon echo to play the fantasy racing flash briefing.

Richmond should be similar to Phoenix

In the new Hid-Hop package (high downforce, high horsepower), Richmond should be very similar to Phoenix. Richmond is a one groove race track. It's part short track and part intermediate track. It's by no means an exact replica of Phoenix, but this should be single file racing with terrible aero push.

It will take good cars a long time to work their way up to the front. Making position movement even more difficult is the fact that there is nowhere to go on restarts. Drivers can try to jump to the outside on restarts, but that can end badly. Phoenix offered many lanes on restarts. That will not happen at Richmond. Track position will be king this weekend.

Watch Phoenix again, but don't waste too much time staring at green flag runs where cars go nowhere. Add the "Youtube Playback Speed Control" to your chrome browser and watch it at warp speed.

I was hoping for 10 to 15 downloads a week. That would mean maybe 10 to 15 sheets sold a week, and that would put a nice little dent in my daycare costs and this would all be worth it.

I grossly underestimated the number of listens and sheet sales. I have to scale up, and migrate the podcast to another platform. This is a headache, and to be honest, I have no idea what I am doing. Please be patient. I am sure that I will screw this up, and you will have to subscribe again.

213 - Fontana Cup Recap

Download Podcast - 213 - Fontana Cup Recap

Main takeaways: Even with few laps, elite hogs find a way to hit value. Busch at Fontana and Harvick would have at Las Vegas, if not for his greased up pit stall. For whatever reason, I have to be constantly reminded of this. Fade an elite driver based on the car/track, not their price. Also, how should we approach Hid-Lop research moving forward?

I cannot believe that I have to say this, but Start and Park cars are real. Then again, many people believe that the earth is flat, so it does not surprise me that I have to record a podcast explaining that Start & Park cars do exist in the Xfinity series. Daily Fantasy NASCAR players are well versed in S&P rides, but casual Xfinity fans or nut jobs, may not know of their existence. I hope that this is only an exercise in semantics, and after this podcast, we can move forward with a common understanding of Start and Park Xfinity rides.

How will the 2019 Package race at Fontana?

Here we are again, guessing what a race will look like in the 2019 NASCAR Hid-Lop package (high downforce, low horsepower). The iRacing series ran this package at Fontana on Tuesday night, and it looked like a Daytona race. For the first 10 to 15 laps, drivers ran side-by-side in a pack. As the tires fell off, the racing morphed into a single file, almost bumper-to-bumper snake that stretched across the track. Restarts were bonkers. Especially, at the end. The last 25 laps were cautions and restart wrecks.

Yes, this is a simulation and not the real thing. Yes, the simulated race was at night, so the cars had more grip. Yes, in iRacing their isn't a large disparity of racing equipment. Nonetheless, a plate race is possible this weekend, see it for yourself:

Download Podcast - 195 - Truck and Xfinity Race Expectations

I watched the 2018 Truck and Xfinity Las Vegas races at 2x on YouTube. There are plenty of takeaways from these races that will help us build better DFS NASCAR lineups this week.

194 - Fast Laps Are Not Dead

Download Podcast - 194 - Fast Laps Are Not Dead

Fast Laps are the same old Fast Laps, at least at the 550hp NO aero duct tracks. Guess What? That's only four tracks (Atlanta, Pocono, Darlington, and Homestead). Maybe Fast Laps are still dead. We'll see - THE REAL TEST is this week. I hope we get IROC, and not what we got last week. Rest assured, if Las Vegas is a failure, and Fontana is a failure, and Texas is a failure, and Kansas is a failure ...then NASCAR will admit that it screwed up, and change the package mid-season for the hundredth time.

DFS NASCAR Sheet Commercial

Sales Pitch...

The Daily Fantasy NASCAR spreadsheet is like a set of knives. I do not give out picks, projections, write articles, or record shows. I make a spreadsheet that makes it easier to play DFS NASCAR and easier to do well. A set of knives does not prepare dinner alone; they make it easier to make dinner. Sometimes, there is a knife in the set that is really helpful. It all depends on the meal. You still have to cook dinner on your own, but for $5, it's easier to cook dinner. You can cook from scratch, or you can hire a chef to cook for you. Maybe you don't want to cook, then don't buy the knives this week, but when you want them, they're here.

Here are people that made THEIR OWN PLAYS. They used the DFS NASCAR sheet as a helpful guide, but they did this on their own, tout-free.
