I explain the Kyle Busch Rule for DFS NASCAR players. Also, I continue to wrap my head around Martinsville and what this means moving forward. Racing in this package is like a bucket of crabs.

The 2019 High Downforce package strikes again. Aerodynamics do not matter at Martinsville. Well, they do now. NASCAR managed to turn a legendary short track into an intermediate track. Somehow, the 2019 season continues to find a way to get worse each week.

Salaries are out. I make some early week projections and run the optimizer. Find out who's in the early week optimal fantasy NASCAR lineup for the cup & truck race at Martinsville.

Download Podcast - 213 - Fontana Cup RecapMain 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?NASCAR Practice TV CalendariPhone CalendarLink to Google CalendarWhere to listeniTunesStitcherTuneInSpotify

Download Podcast - 211 - Start & ParkI 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.NASCAR Practice TV CalendariPhone CalendarLink to Google CalendarWhere to listeniTunesStitcherTuneInSpotify

Download Podcast - 214 - Name That Hog (martinsville)Let's play a game. I will give you the salary and the hog points for each of the top 4 hogs in each of the last four Martinsville races, and you will try to guess the correct hog.
