I review the cup prices for Las Vegas and whether the salaries reflect the style of racing. I ponder the same questions for the Truck series and play around with the optimizer. The results will surprise some. Also, I analyze some of the lesser known Truck drivers.
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.
This week's sheets for Las Vegas 2019 are available. They will be updated throughout the week.

FLASHBACK to a previously recorded podcast that might be helpful this weekend. Building the Las Vegas spring 2018 winning lineup based on the fantasy NASCAR spreadsheet. Harvick is chalk, and there are some other chalky plays (Newman, Buescher, and Almirola), but how should we have filled out the rest of the lineup? What strategies are the best for DFS NASCAR lineup construction?
Daily Fantasy NASCAR lessons learned in the first race of the Cup season. The new package failed. Don't @ me. I don't want to hear the excused that NASCAR has been parading out since Monday of last week. The Truck race was the best race of the weekend, followed by the Xfinity race, and the worst racing, and bad sign of what might come, was the Cup race. This is 2015, again.
Let's look at the Atlanta Truck lap-by-lap data and rank the trucks. Also, a quick look at some Xfinity laps.The Atlanta Truck prices are up. Let's break them down and run an early DFS optimization.
The Atlanta Xfinity prices are up. Let's break them down and run an early DFS optimization.Why aren't we talking about Cup? What can we say? There are a lot of unknowns this weekend. We do not know if we can trust the historical data. Let's talk about more theories surrounding this new package and the impact on Fantasy NASCAR.
This week's sheets for Atlanta 2019 are available. They will be updated throughout the week.
Let's look at who is racing and pretend that we know where they will finish. It's not a stretch. We're talking about the Xfinity and Truck series; the ride means a lot.I watched the 2018 Truck Race at Atlanta on YouTube at 2x and it was great. The racing was awesome. Sure, no one could pass the leader, and by definition it was a lap turner, but there was exciting side-by-side racing throughout the top 10. Kyle Busch was a monster, but his pit crew failed him. No one has won more or lost more races on pit road than Rowdy.A quick look at the DFS scoreboard from the 2018 Atlanta Xfinity and Truck race. It looks a pretty conservative DFS race. The name of the game might be finishing position.
One more looks at Daytona Xfinity trends, and a closer inspection of the winning DFS NASCAR lineups at DraftKings. We'll highlight some names to watch out for on Saturday.
This is happening. DFS NASCAR Truck series at DraftKings. Check out the Free Truck series spreadsheet and listen to me start from scratch in the Truck series. Not scratch, but I honestly explain I am a fan, not a die hard expert. Actually, I am a better iRacing truck driver than truck DFS player.
A look a the Daytona Duel races. Is it a conservative Thursday night race or a wreckfest? We run the lineup optimizer along with some very causal projections.
I have added a lineup optimizer to the Daily Fantasy NASCAR spreadsheet. It's up and ready to roll for the Duels on Thursday Night.

The Clash was a boring single file lap turner as predicted, then Jimmie Johnson wiped out 14 cars. Was it intentional or just a driver that has run out of skill? I'm going to roll out some new payment plans, and congratulations to Ryan. He bought the spreadsheet for $2 and won multiple Fantasy NASCAR GPPs. Please review the podcast on iTunes.vFantasy NASCAR Spreadsheet
In this podcast, I compare the new restrictor plate NASCAR package to possible seismic shifts in other major sports. This change is like using metal baseball bats in the MLB, removing the three point line in the NBA, and outlawing zone defense in the NFL
It looks like PayPal fees will be a pain. If you want to weekly pay with paypal, then that is fine. If you want to limit your transactions and buy in bulk to prevent fees, then I will allow it.
I apologize for any inconveniences, I am new to the business side of this. I am going to set up a Venmo account. With Venmo, if you pay with your Venmo balance, your linked bank account or debit card, then Venmo waives the fees (only credit card transactions trigger fees). Transfering Venmo funds back to your bank account or debit card is only a 1% fee.
In less than two months, the podcast has reached page #1 for "NASCAR podcast" google searches. That's a big deal considering none of this existed two months ago. This is 100% due to people clicking and listening, so please keep clicking and listening.
I’ve stuffed the Daytona Clash sheet with everything that I believe is important, but with that said - it’s just the Clash. The sheet is only $2 this week. Tips are welcome, but $2 will get you access.
NASCAR will take wins away at the track. That's a noble pursuit, but we all know that the implementation will be a disaster and the effect a PR disaster. How can NASCAR police the winners, if they do not police the winners? NASCAR admitted that they will allow teams to destroy their cars during a celebration after the race. Celebrations are illegal in college football; NASCAR should follow. Also, qualifying is going to be a disaster for DFS.
MORE CLASH TRENDS! Looking at the trends for the most trendiest of races. Where do the top DFS scores start? Do drivers matter? Does salary matter? Is the Daytona Clash a wreckfest or a conservative snooze? Can anyone defeat RotoDoc at Daily Fantasy NASCAR when it comes to the Daytona Clash?
