I started this blog to provide a casual, recreational level of fantasy NASCAR advice and discussion.  I've been playing these contests for a number of years and am annoyed by lineup sellers and groups of players using the same lineup.  I'm hoping to give the casual player some help in building solid lineups that can beat that annoying crowd most of the time.  I'm not a "tout" and don't do this for a living, so proceed accordingly.  I hope you enjoy the discussion here and Good Luck!

las Vegas Trucks

Quick Update - Spencer Boyd slower then expected. OK with Busch and JHN since there are a number of cheap options. I'd be surprised if anyone else leads a lap other then some random one off thing. OK with Matt Mills as well.

The key question for this slate is whether to use Kyle Busch. He's obviously the favorite and is going to lead laps and run fastest laps no matter where he starts. A lot will come down to how decent a lineup you can make with cheaper guys if using Kyle. So, for now, here's a list of some cheaper options I trust the most (all relative considering it's the Trucks Series) at this point:
  • Grant Enfinger - This is a bad misprice by DK. This should be a Top 5 truck with race winning potential if something were to go wrong for Kyle and/or Nemechek.
  • Stewart Friesen - He ran well at the 1.5 mile tracks last year, with 4th and 6th place finishes at Las Vegas.
  • Hailie Deegan - $6.5k is a little too cheap for a high quality truck if there is position difference potential.
  • Austin Wayne Self - He lives on the wild side, but consistently ran in the Top 20 at the 1.5 mile tracks last year, including 14th and 8th place finishes at Las Vegas.
  • Kris Wright - He's in a Niece truck, which has a lot more potential then a lot of the other trucks down in the $5k-$6k range.
  • Lawless Alan - Same story as Kris Wright with another Niece truck here.
  • Timmy Hill - $5k for a driver with the ability of Timmy Hill? Sign me up. He's just head and shoulders above the other guys in this price range on driving ability.
  • Spencer Boyd - In the No. 12 truck, which I view as the second best Young's Motorsports truck and a step up from his normal No. 20 ride. He keeps his truck in one piece and could be a decent punt option starting far back in field.

A couple of bets that look good to me:
  • Ryan Preece +2000 to win - Vegas races can get crazy and Preece got a win in this truck at Nashville last year.
  • Grant Enfinger +200 Top 5 finish - This is a Top 5 truck and driver combo, so really like getting 2-to-1 odds on it.
  • Enfinger -105 Chandler Smith - Smith only had two Top 10s at 1.5 mile tracks last season in six attempts. No Top 5s. Enfinger with a solid advantage here.
  • Preece -110 Zane Smith - In essentially the same equipment and I think Preece is clearly the better driver. It is also Smith's first non-Daytona race with his new team.
  • Preece -135 Matt DiBenedetto - Preece has a pretty sizable advantage here in truck quality.

what do you think of Jordan Anderson?

Probably too expensive for what he offers. Could finish around 20th or break down. Not enough upside to take the chance for me.

IMO, yes. I'd take Holmes if forced to choose between them. But I think there's better value elsewhere.
