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!

WWT Trucks

8/19/2021

A lot to cover this weekend, so I'm going to keep the Trucks analysis short.
  • I'll be real surprised if anyone other than J.H. Nemechek or Todd Gilliland wins this race. Austin Hill is the only other guy that wouldn't shock me.
    • Nemechek has been The Man in this series all year long. He crushed the field at Richmond earlier this year -- which is probably the closest comp to WWT as far as being a very flat track. He also has experience here from several very good runs with his dad's equipment from a few years ago. Most likely dominator and race winner.
    • Gilliland has always run well here and was dominating this race last year until Sheldon Creed overdrove a corner and took him out. He also ran very well here in KBM trucks in years past. Lastly, he's been on an impressive run of late leading laps and running fastest laps in a lot of races. He comes with downside risk, though, starting 3rd.
  • Matt Crafton, Chandler Smith and Tyler Ankrum are all in play if you want to play it a little safer than Gilliland. All have the potential to be 5th-8th place trucks and get you some positive place differential.
  • Grant Enfinger and Ty Majeski are other place differential plays. But they are on the expensive side for what they offer.
    • Majeski has Top 10 or so upside. He will be in a ThorSport truck and he's had three solid runs in this truck this season. He ran 9th here in a Niece truck so has a real good finish last year to fall back on.
    • Enfinger's upside is likely more in the 15th-18th range. He will be in the #9 truck owned by Codie Rohrbaugh. This is NOT the ThorSport truck/team he's been here with in the past. That said, he's had some decent results even in this #9 truck this year. And he's usually been very good at the shorter, flatter tracks.
  • Tyler Hill, Dawson Cram and Spencer Boyd are all potential salary saver options.
    • Hill ran 21st here last year. This team hasn't been as strong this year, though, so I'm not sure he can quite repeat that performance without some chaos in front of him.
    • Cram was 23rd here last year. He's definitely faster than at least 7-8 trucks starting in front of him, so should pretty easily get +10 position difference or more unless he has major problems.
    • Boyd is just a guy who will be slow but hopefully run the whole race. He'll be faster than the J.J. Cobb's and Norm Benning's of the world and finish in front of anyone else who wrecks or drops out. Nothing fancy. Just cheap with hopefully a couple of  + position difference points.

Bets -- I feel real good about all of these, which makes me really nervous:
  • Majeski -115 Purdy
  • Tanner Gray -110 Purdy
  • A. Hill +105 Creed
  • Gilliland +110 Z. Smith
  • If you agree on one of the three I mentioned winning, you can play all three of Nemechek +225, Gilliland +900 and A. Hill +900 to win and guaranty a good pay day as long as one of them comes through.

Steve, any thoughts on the mid tier 7K range, specially Hocevar, Purdy, & Kraus. Trying to fit JHN with Ankum, Majeski & a salary saver and that leaves me with guys in that range. Should I just punt another with Hill and go with a 10K range guy? Finding it difficult for cash games this week.
