I Tyler Burnett will join us live. From Daytona Beach. To get to set up for this weekends of racing here. Starting 27 team let's take a break we'll come back on the it's outlined various precincts are presented by Hercules tires. Yeah.

He's just power. This is freedom. This is tradition. This is being. We're meant to me. This is more than no race. Is Talladega. May fifth through seventh. Calling some seven. Let's talk more fantasy racing on the sidelines. Welcome back to beef up line basically presented by Hercules tires on Robbie may see is rates culprit. And I miss him before the break it you are takes a little bit differently this year only if I had last couple years we've been blocking in the five drivers of the four course on racetrack so what we're gonna do this year. Is basically do you view a list of drivers we're gonna talk about bullet points for each driver and then we'll see whether it's a good pick or bad taken later on the weekend if you follow on Twitter at in more in fantasy also add more radio. I Tyler novel actually give you. I'm. Rich let's talk first about the front row for the Daytona 500 they qualified last Sunday afternoon. It was chase Elliott and Dale Earnhardt junior they teammates at Hendrick motor sports starting he won and heat you as a result of qualifying. To sell it for second your row is on the pole for the Daytona 530. Year wrote for the number 2.4 court with. Alan Gustafson crew chief yeah he's got qualifying down but. I just don't know of chase Elliott can stay in that position if you remember the Daytona 500. One month one year ago he won out to about portable way to the race so I'm not quite sure he's got the restrictor plate racing down. Just yet there's so many other options that you can go with and the way at worst would fantasy life is that you lose points if your guy on the poll is up finishing less than where he finished. And so yeah I'm not quite sure that's what now because other leads a bunch of laps. Which at restrictor plate race normally doesn't happen that way you're gonna get a whole lot of points at a Trace Elliot from my guess is. I'm just August go with Jake's. Yeah I I agree with you I think you know if if it was. If he was starting anywhere else in the field I might consider putting him on my team for for 2625. Of the risk losing points. Which case I've knocked and go that route is teammate Dale Earnhardt junior though is back missing the second half of last season with a concussion. Starting second in the Daytona 525. Dollars. Multiple time winner Dave turner. You this. This is a tough one right here do you go when Dale Earnhardt junior or do you not go Dale Earnhardt junior because if you remember the three restrictor plate races in. Participated in last year you're over the last when they had at Talladega. He wasn't in that race because of the concussion. Other several things to think about what Dale Earnhardt junior is he back 100%. I think he is but even when he was okay last year he spun out in all three of those. Restrictor plate races. That's I'm not quite sure if you wanna go Dale Earnhardt junior. But would that said look at his numbers I mean he's got the best average at Daytona with the ten point three. But his last three or four races and on restrictor plate really haven't looked very good. I still say keep Taylor junior writer team every time we go to our restrictor plate track I think he has the ability. It's a find of the places he's ago he knows how to work the draft he knows how to work traffic I think Dale Earnhardt junior is definitely good top five car. If he can Nike everything together on Sunday afternoon when teammate Johnson. If it's if last year had a rough start to speed weeks and when he seventeen. Basically wrecked twice in the artwork clutch. Jimmy is another guy I mean he's just. He's hotter cold when it comes or stricter plate races either he wins. For Iraq's border the other and it just I just not quite sure about Jimmie Johnson is even and I know you cannot use the the the clash as they gauge. Bled via the Hendrick cars really didn't look best out during that race I mean look at Jimmie Johnson spun out on is all. But halfway through the race I'm not quite sure if you wanna go Jimmie Johnson or Dale Earnhardt junior and chase Elliott I just don't I'd I think that your options should be with another group. If you're looking at Hendrick I think junior is the best option those three drivers. Let's let's move a little bit was changing gears here speaking of teens making changes for point seventeen Stewart Haas racing moving from Chevrolet. Over to the fourth camp and along with that a driver change Tony Stewart Alec Mason the senior open Clint Boyer in the fourteen car for 2017. Other Clint Boyer my team. Fifteen dollars. For further Daytona 500 this year he was fasting qualifying he's happy. He's a good plate driver if you go back look at its history over the years. He has done very well at Daytona and Talladega. So two time winner Talladega super speedway on a plate track so I like clip board are gonna watch him for fifteen dollars. He had a ninth place run last time we race at Daytona. I would have a two out of an average is like a sixteen point five average at Daytona to put borders not a bad option obviously he wasn't in as good equipment last year or so now he is in great equipment. But I think I look at Clint Boyer is some of these rookies out east what's he's not proven because we know he can win. At Talladega but he's never won at Daytona before so not quite sure I wanna go or take that chance would clip board but would that said now we see we've seen this several years with fantasy life is that guys will. Like rookies and they'll get in these folks that that are playing against this will lock a driver in at a really low rate. And that driver blows up clip border could be that guy and he's fifteen dollars right now NASCAR alive NASCAR fan it's like so. He's probably his stocks probably gonna go up especially peas and get to get through great finish and he's only gonna get better I think. Yeah I I think I'm gonna lock him in and keep them for a while Lester had the same strategy which easily sorted out at sixteen dollars. At the beginning of the season and and now he's gonna bag this year 26 when Brian Blaine was another Ryan Bellini is always a good option went out of warriors teammates he got Kevin Harvick. Former Daytona 500 winner Kurt Busch. Also spun out during the clash the other day Tony Gibson on the pit box for bush Rodney Childers back with with Kevin Harvick the switch to Ford yes or no Daytona. They've if it's gonna be either or it can be Kevin Harvick. I would go Kevin Harvick over but Kurt Busch but it scares me a little bit when those guys with a new manufacture this year because there's going to be a learning curve. They've already talked about it Tony Stewart we talk in the offseason about this learning curve yes there is. They're gonna be okay restrictor plate racing I think once we get out in the draft I think the Ford in the chevys. You Iraq going to be able to tell a difference but I think that as far as Kevin Harvick goes I think he's gonna be OK I just a wonder I'm curious though after we get after Daytona. How well they gonna too broad I mean and pulled Electra Phoenix as well as Kevin Harvick runs at Phoenix I think if he doesn't win that race I think we'll know where. He was part of it tested Phoenix back in the end of January beginning of February and he said he he felt good players well so those are the Fords on the obviously you want to keep an eye on team Penske which are really got a bright as last April talk about those guys with Tyler coming in here a little bit. Joseph Gibbs racing. Kyle Busch Denny Hamlin actors at the back and new rookie teammate Daniels warriors making his very first start in the cup series this weekend at Daytona. We think both were. I think he's a reprisal NASCAR dot com if you ease ease eighteen dollars a NASCAR dot com I think he's unproven. He's a great driver he won the championship in the Infiniti series last year I think he's going to be just fine. But I just think that maybe eighteen dollars might be a little steep right now. I think most want to before few weeks and the aliens he does have Dave Rogers crew chief again that's a positive for him. I think he gets garlic and Italy won the Daytona 500 last year. Tweets he starts seven top 10s369. Laps led at Daytona International Speedway particularly those four on picking him he'd look great during the clash yeah. Load grader in the clash and he won the clash last year. Then turn around won the Daytona 500. If if we're talking about. What would report talking not just Joseph Gibbs racing drivers Hamlin is the gotta go with. Mad kids that may be not so much I didn't know this is an interest in said I didn't know about mad kids that he's finished outside the top ten in the last eight plate races. And he's wanted in the Daytona 500 a couple of times he's a great play. Race driver he leads a lot of laps he is he doesn't 362 laps lighted Daytona alone in his career. That for races only to last long. You know you got there will be forty laps at a time bonus which you pick a team and it really does but he's finishing outside the top one even any qualified well you're losing all those points right back. Answer I'm not quite sure about mad kids have but if you're gonna go with someone from the Joseph Gibbs camp. Getting him as a wanna get with absolutely let's take another break when we come back Tyler Burnett. Would join us live from Daytona Beach, Florida you're watching the inside line Tennessee racing show presented by Hercules tires. Oh.

And aspartame world trucks yours coming up later on tonight here on them or an. Time now. To go live. Daytona Beach, Florida bring in the co host of the inside line is racing showed Tyler Burnett Tyler our anybody. Hey guys how Loria we're standing. Near the water while my feeder in the water right now let's. Join the Daytona Beach and doesn't get race this weekend at this past weekend with some great race and yeah before we talk racing it's time to play and yet discovered back our game of the week. Okay. Oh it's OK okay. If your favorite game the way the under rocket or Tyler and Tyler. We had some rule changes in the offseason. And wore those rules it is you have to be president win. So you start this season with a loss. Well. Better hope not and I give the rock and everything is it when I get Barack. You got game with a rock while I'm down here that house of cards are 11 right now. Barak. All right Tyler lots of stuff to talk about a long speed weeks which will culminate in Sunday's Daytona 500. From your perspective. What's been the biggest story line speed weeks of four. Well no question the biggest storyline coming as Dale Earnhardt junior and returning and of course he's on the front row of the steamy chase only on the pole. So I would I would say juniors the biggest story but it's more standards here racing there's no question team Penske is the favorite going into the Daytona 500. Julie got a Brad Kozlowski. I don't wanna get a teaser away ballistic save my pick to win the Daytona 500 will be and one of the fort Penske cars this week and interest. That's 5050. Those that is the Jolie or you're not gonna tell us. So I gonna be well I'll tell you at the end of the segment it out yeah all right let I think aren't you guys wanted the biggest story so I'll tell you that team Penske. Right now I think is the favorite going into the 500 at Joseph Gibbs racing was fast. But I would say Penske is you know the favors going into the weekend we were talking about Dale Earnhardt junior a moment ago how do you see Dale Earnhardt junior. His return and how do you think he's gonna do in the 500. I think Obi five and it's kind of like riding a bicycle I think you get right back into it when you get back into the car however. I'm a little nervous was starting and just because of the fact that Jimmie Johnson spun out out of turn number four. Twice and the clash for no reason so I mean is that something to deal with Hendrick cars I don't know but. Jimmie Johnson made a living on driving a loose race car and if he's complained about the cars being loose. Then there's probably a problem with that car so I'm a little nervous about Hendrick cars especially because this are on the front row of course NASCAR as he lives. You know you get passing point you start you start the pole sitter he wrecks on lap one. Like chased it last year that then that's a problem with points so a little nervous about starting in two Jason junior. But I think junior will be fine I think I think him compete pretty well the Sunday. You know Tyler Jimmie Johnson you know he he's final twice the other day in the class junior did basically the same thing last year late in the going you know it hurt for Daytona has always been difficult but still Jimmie Johnson seven time champion and and that's really. You know where I'm going within Jimmy Johnson's seven time champion. If you're on a lead. Where you're on a limited number pigs every week obviously Daytona is is not the place but 2750 on astronaut convert Jimmie Johnson I think. Even if he hadn't had those problems last Sunday he still back towards this weekend. Yeah at that price as you mentioned it that probably is a bad choice but. You look at it though is it likely that Jimmie Johnson is going to do the same thing on Sunday probably not. Now I would probably say an inexperienced Jason Elliot board Dale Earnhardt junior who has have been in the car since GU and Kentucky. Would probably have more of a handle on on the loose is race cars are you know more challenge. But I think Jimmie Johnson would be a better start the chase Elliott or Dale Earnhardt junior this week in a fantasy in my opinion. Tyler let's let's go back to some guys who have won championships before one races at Daytona before. A Stewart Haas racing you know we talked about the Fords for team Penske little while ago Stewart Haas racing is with Ford. This season. They looked OK in practice. Over over the course of the week. Clint Boyer particular Barbara spoken about it he's on my team this weekend. Is is before word changeover working for Stewart Haas or are you comfortable and apple what they've done so far this week. To put them on your team on Sunday. I think so I think that we're gonna see probably. Their biggest challenge in Atlanta next year I mean restrictor plate racing. Let's face it most of the cars are pretty similar and what did you draft you're going to be racing it. While you're going to be racing cars who are definitely not as fast as you and you're going to be racing cars to our. Pretty similar to use so you're not gonna see the difference this weekend with the four. I was impressed with Clint Boyer though I think he qualified well and and and actually my second pick my economic team this week. Of course. I'm gonna tell you my winner mine number one pick my fantasy team here's issue and it. But I never to pick is Kevin Harvick I think he worked the draft well in the clash. I think he was good last year of course the top five finish it seems like he's getting better at Daytona and restrictor plate racing of course is a 500 winner. Some to take given heart on my team this week as well. Let's talk about some guy you take some guys. Or gals who are look at lower price who may still be able to get a good run this weekend. Ritz tonight talked before we went on air crisp pusher. AJ omen to anger or two good options butcher is a little bit cheaper than an omen anger is. Also I think Ty Dillon would be a good choice this week as well in the number thirteen Jermaine generally. I agree with you I think I don't be get pitches to get restrictor plate racer in fact. It will abide better than Austin Dillon Austin bill did not qualify well with the RC are bunch but I I think I don't get picked. I mean Danica Patrick and you look at her she she finished fourth in the clash yes there was some there was some mom mishaps at the end of the race what Amylin Kozlowski. What caught up I've got another couple other people in the clash. But I think Danica Patrick might be a solid pick she finished fourth. You know some other ones I like Chris pusher though. One of the things are concerned about the clash was. The this the start of the clash pusher did not suck up against the cars that he was seventeen seconds lap in the second 217 seconds down. At the start of the clash on lap two so that might be a concern however they probably haven't a brand new car good race car for the 500 itself. Those are some of the guys on look at that I think employers probably a good pick I don't know I don't know visa value pick he's probably be priced pretty high. But if you look back there in the field Brennan gone might be an experienced driver as well. Yeah I think of value pick and says we're talking about that is Michael McDowell who is 950. On NASCAR fan as he lives in his last two finishes at Daytona a fifteenth and a tenth. I agree and yeah I agree that yeah. Yeah Michael McDowell will be a good one Chris butcher I'm not quite so sure about he hasn't had a whole lot a look at the restrictor plate race and over recent so I'm not quite sure of Chris pushers some money but if you're gonna have to pick between the two Michael McDowell probably be your best bet for someone that's under ten dollar. Are you all like Michael McDowell I mean he you know if you look at homestead last year last race of the season. Yet there were some crashes but he's a got a top ten finish so I think Michael McDowell is definitely a very good choice you know my strategy last couple years in this race. Has to has been to pick some drivers who not necessarily or the the highest. It as as fours but if you're gonna rank teams in the cup series. But this year you know it would with with all the rules when everything going on the way to the format has changed. With with the stages in the races of course that's not have it really affecting the famous racing that much. I still think that the guys were gonna be up front and seeing guys that we always talk much on the. I absolutely agree you're gonna see Kevin Harvick at the front you're gonna see Denny Hamlin in the front you can see all these Brad Kozlowski yeah you gotta see this the same guys. No matter you know what manufacture that you're gonna put a man. So I'm not quite sure you're gonna see a whole lot of different now as Tyler mentioned a moment ago. That we are gonna see some differences when we get to Atlanta because there will be an inch less on the spoilers so they've made some changes. But those changes are not at Daytona so you're gonna see that the usual suspects have Ron. Tyler who's your winner for this weekend's Daytona 500. Why tossed around the idea of Denny Hamlin. That you know the the past champion of the Daytona 500 a body was good in the clash I think you'll be a favorite I think I'll definitely be a top five guard because he caught up in Iraq. I tossed around the idea of 2015. Champion Joel are gone now. But I think Brad Kozlowski when this first Daytona 500 this year I think. He was the best car in the clash I think he has been the best restrictor plate racer in the entire garage. And I'm sorry rich I'm sorry Robby if I take your pick already before the end of the show Brad Kozlowski wins the Daytona 500 this year. Obviously the same thing Brad Kozlowski but you know what but if I wanna be different from from Tyler obviously jointly Ghana I mean I realize it's not very often that. Oh hold on I'd see that look on your face. It's not very often that you see the winner of the clash go onto win the Daytona 500 track in the history of the clash we've only seen that done six times. And the most recent was last year due ramble when the clash anyway and on to win the Daytona 500. But I think it could say they can't be done again so Joey Giordano. But I think I was right I think Brad Kozlowski will be strong contender along with Denny Hamlin this weekend okay. Well our. Thanks buddy into the weekend. I boys we'll talk regulator. We'll see you after the 500 and thankfully racial and happy on the show on next week so Allred stands with opportunities I mean he's he's a segment you know it's better than your snapped at.

This is NASCAR today on the motor racing network. Let's talk more fantasy racing on the inside line once again pierce creek and crack. Guess I'm breaking your practice at the unregulated sideline is owned them not Tyler. Like at the beginning to show as long as nobody. I think wants to. I got so we don't clarification the rules in the segment so the camera was on rates when he got hit it with the rock always do this again so I gonna do it again so. I guess it was the right town again it with a rock won here it goes back. Erica. Higher rate of the chicken and steak now in case you're you're watching the show for the first time we have a fantasy chicken. Makes its picks for the upcoming race though the Daytona 500 pigs for Ringo are who. He has Dale Earnhardt junior he has Denny Hamlin he says Austin Dillon. He has gales were. Surprised right there also winning Cassel struggled at 34 up at 38 this year. Is winner rate goes winner is Dale Earnhardt junior army factor here. I think this war has might be media favorite it is I mean via via I just think that. He just likes war does not it doesn't mean that he thinks he's gonna win but I think he just likes war is. As a personal favorite so bad pick. Dale Junior Hamlin and those are predicts more visible in May do well I just don't think he'll win the race so it's a Tyler picked. The cute to win rank goes taken 88 away. Yeah I mentioned a while ago Giuliano but I I'm it would be in the Hamlet OK so it's going to be one of those three I think it's going to be Brad. It's either going to be Jolie or it's going to be gaining him Wesley called open reckon and of course at restrictor plate race and you know that kind of stuff can happen shows so I assume you'll. Julia I'll idol ago I. I think you know been as strong as they've been this week as strong as he is on plate tracks I think to a Madonna. It's definitely a good choice to win Sunday's Daytona 500 coming up tonight. The next hitter next air energy resources to fifty for the African world truck series tomorrow final practice for the cup cars at 1230 followed by the expert and he raced it three.
