nashville trucks

Practice, qualifying and the race all on Friday. I'll go through some notes and things I see here, but you'll have to monitor what happens Friday before finalizing your lineup. I will update at some point Friday if I can.

• J.H. Nemechek - Pretty affordable price for the guy who has been head and shoulders the best regular in the series all year long. I expect a good chunk of laps led and fastest laps once again.
• Ross Chastain - Ross has put up some big DK scores this year with huge position difference gains. But those have come when the starting grid was set by owners points. With actual on track qualifying for this race, he's unlikely to have that available since he should qualify pretty well. It's tough to see him leading laps to justify a $10k+ salary.
• Austin Hill - Potential dominator if Nemechek is off. He's a guy I have a lot of interest in pending practice and qualifying.
• Grant Enfinger, Matt Crafton, Todd Gilliland and Stewart Friesen are all guys I'd feel real good about if they offer a little position difference. We should have at least one or two of them qualify outside the Top 12, which would put them in play.
• Ty Majeski - Pricing is off here. He's in a fifth ThorSport truck, which is top tier equipment. He's also had pretty good success in the Truck Series, primarily with Niece last season.
• Tyler Ankrum, Tanner Gray, Chase Purdy and Jack Wood - All guys with top level teams who should have good, reliable trucks under them.  All in play if they don't qualify well and offer a solid floor with position difference upside. Very affordable prices.
• Dawson Cram, Danny Bohn, A.W. Self and Hailie Deegan - All affordable plays that could offer really good value in decent to good trucks. No reason to go cheaper than this level. There should be some real solid value plays that emerge here.
• William Byron and Josh Berry - Both in Rackley trucks this week. This hasn't been top level equipment, but I also don't think Byron would come in to drive a piece of junk. So I'm interested, but there would have to be really good position difference upside to make them worth it. They're not going to lead laps or run fastest laps.
• Ryan Preece - Should be a good, fast truck, but probably not a lap leader. Would have to have position difference upside to make sense.
• JJ Yeley - Good driver, but not a good truck. Too expensive under the circumstances.
