Welcome to the Fantasy Throw Down Podcast, bringing you the latest updates from the world of sports,

gambling and pop culture because you can't have a show without hot takes or a Tiger King meme these days.

Know what I'm saying?

Now with over 200 episodes and ready to get after it again, here's your host,

Dwayne calendar.

Hello and welcome to the show everyone. Basically going do something a little bit different today. It is the

Daytona 500 show and this is the first time I'm actually doing a show on the day to the 500 which entails something

completely different than what I would normally advise from a DFS perspective and that is essentially ignoring the actual salary constraints like ownership percentages I'm not necessarily going to go down that

path and that's why I usually don't do today to town a 500 because it is just such a random event.

So obviously for those of you new to NASCAR,

the Daytona 500 is essentially the Super Bowl of NASCAR, which most folks would find strange,

why would you do your biggest event as your kickoff event, but that's just been the nature of NASCAR.

The Tona Speedway is the number one track for NASCAR fans.

It's the way they want to kick off the season and you know it

generates the most interest amongst the general fans. You know, they do have some races at Indianapolis Speedway where you have the

Indy 500, Indy 500 race, so NASCAR also does an event there, but the Daytona 500

is the biggest event by far of all the NASCAR events and it's the one the drivers want to win the most.

So with that being said you usually have a very deep field of cars so you got over 40 cars on the track it's a 500 lap race so it's a

lengthy race so you got a couple of hours ahead and with that being in mind it's also plate racing.

So what is what I mean by plate racing?

There are restrictor plates on the vehicles that slow down the overall speed of these cars.

So essentially you've got large cars, not unlike completely different from the Indy cars or even the F1 cars which are fragile.
