Playoff time! This race has all the makings of a profitable one, so lets dive in and make that money. As always, the research is just getting started, so think about getting signed up and get exclusive access to our projection model, the domination station lineup optimizer, and most importantly, direct chat room access to some of the sharpest NASCAR minds in the industry. I will be on there all weekend updating everyone on my research.
Top Plays
Joey Logano – The Penske cars lack short run speed, and start towards the back because it. However, they are carrying very good long run speed – at a track that is known for long runs – and Joey has been a top three driver on 1.5 mile tracks in 2019. Expect Joey to slowly and methodically cut through the field and compete for a win.
Brad Keselowski – Brad K has been boom or bust recently at Vegas, but this weekend looks a lot more like a boom than a bust. Brad has been the second best 1.5 mile driver in 2019, and crew chief Paul Wolfe will get him track position. I THINK he has the best car in the field and if he gets out front it could be a wrap.
Martin Truex Jr – Truex Jr is in an A+ car, he is an A+ driver, and he is taking on a track he has a tremendous history with. He starts 24th, but is much faster than that. He started 23rd and finished 8th here in the spring. More of the same this week.
Kyle Busch – He starts 20th. He is at his home track where he has been super dominant across all three series. Need a say more? Kyle Busch has a very fast long run car, and even if he doesn’t – his team will make him fast by sundown.
Notes
It’s hard to play them over the cars starting towards the back, but I think the Hendrick cars have legit speed this weekend. I will be working them into some lineups.
Value
Alex Bowman – Speaking of speedy Hendricks cars, Bowman presents himself as a great “value” play. He starts 19th with top 10 speed agaisnt a $8000 price tag. Bowman has been super fast on 1.5 milers all year, and even picked up a win earlier this season.
Paul Menard – Menard is singing his swan song as he approaches the last ten races of his full time racing career. It appears he brought some speed to say farewell with. Menard starts 21st, but showed very steady and consistant speed in practice. I’d go as far as saying a top 15 is a floor for Menard, so long as he stays out of trouble.
Ty Dillon – I was super impressed with Ty Dillons long run speed in final practice, and a 27th starting place makes him a great play this weekend. Vegas has been by no means his best track, but he has shown glimpses of greatness on 1.5 milers before.
Corey Lajoie – Punt of the week. Not a whole lot of options down here. If you really wanna take a flyer, I think Joe Nemechek is a potential play as well.
