We made it Boys and Girls! the 2022 Nascar Season is upon us with Qualifying today for the 2022 Daytona 500. Its been hit and miss with my content over the past few years, and I apologize for that, But Im here today to kick some ass in DFS and Season Long Nascar Picks.

I believe this year even with all the changes, the best drivers will rise, and “with all things being equal” Narrative, and practice and qualifying returning, we will know quickly who the guys are , who is lacking, and who is trending up or down.

Tyler and I spoke at length leading up to the clash, and said expect the guys who would show up and compete in a iroc style race or similar notion, would show up at the clash… and that was true, Joey and Kyle, but there were some serious head turners….. Reddick etc… but what does he wualify as? Thats right…. a wheel man!

So that’s where I am laying the chips until further noted, but Daytona throws a wrench being a super speedway, but don’t let that distract you from the 8 returning champions in the field, and California next week.

The following Rankings is solely based on my notions and feel for this year, take with it what you will, and I will ask tyler on the next VLOG his thoughts, but here is mine.

I would have put Haley in there, but he does not qualify.

My Predictions for this year, sticking to my own personal narrative , is the YEAR OF THE WHEEL MAN, with minimal changes once unloaded, to a car no one really knows much about, and “all things being equal” with nascar driving parody down our throats, I think we are going to see 13 wins for Larson, 5 for Kyle Busch, 4 for logano, not counting clash, which leaves 14 races left over for the rest to gobble up.

I think the “Big 3” Will return this year in form of the above, showcasing 3 different manufacturers, from 3 major teams.

But dont forget the rest, perhaps a swan song season from Kurt, a rise from the ashes with Brad sneaking a daytona 500 in there, we will have a few underdog stories this year, like Ross, and briscoe, but still with big teams, per say.

This is going to be a good one, We will be back to cover Draftkings pricing, and plays, and our OAD , and season long picks.
