Austin Dillon Could Inch Up Field At Dover On Sunday
Austin Dillon raced pretty well at Dover last year. Yes, the race was shortened to 311 laps but he did lead 49 laps once and finished ninth in the second installment.

Ryan Newman Starts 13th, May Not Move Up On Sunday
Ryan Newman has not fared well at Dover since his switch to Roush Fenway Racing. He has finished outside the top-15 in all four races. Also, Newman has ended up a lap down every single time. On the bright side, he has not crashed at the "Monster Mile" since 2013. Unfortunately, even with qualifying second […]

Tyler Reddick's Inexperience May Show At Dover On Sunday
Tyler Reddick has never raced 400 laps at Dover. Both races in 2020 were shortened to 311 laps due to COVID. He did lurk around the top 15 but that was it. The Richard Childress Racing driver finished on the lead lap during the second installment of the "Monster Mile". However, he faded to the […]

Christopher Bell Has Little Upside At Dover
Christopher Bell begins Sunday's race in the 11th position on Sunday. However, his two races on the mile-long track have ended with him off the lead lap. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver's goal is probably just to stay on the lead lap by the race's end. Bell dropped positions as he could never get the […]

Chris Buescher Not Expected To Be Factor At Dover On Sunday
Chris Buescher does start tenth on Sunday at the Drydene 400 but will he even finish on the lead lap? Buescher has only done so once and that was a 14th place result last year. The Roush Fenway Racing driver could have a tough time again at the "Monster Mile" trying to stay among the […]

Joey Logano Could Stay In Top Ten At Dover On Sunday
The chances Joey Logano wins at Dover are very slim at best. However, his Team Penske car seems to always linger near the front during the final laps at the "Monster Mile".

Chase Elliott A Wildcard Yet Again At Dover On Sunday
Chase Elliott has had a true mixed bag of results on the "Monster Mile" lately. He won in 2018 but had mechanical issues and a crash which ended his day within ten laps twice. Also, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver had two fifth-place results too. It almost feels like all or nothing for Elliott. His […]

Ryan Blaney Expected To Lose Track Position At Dover On Sunday
Ryan Blaney and Dover do not mix. The Team Penske Driver has just two top-ten finishes in ten appearances. He does start seventh on Sunday. He has a negative place differential in four of the last five races on the mile-long track. There is little to indicate that this race will be much different. The […]

Kevin Harvick Another Strong Contender At Dover On Sunday
The last time NASCAR came to Dover, Harvick had one of the more dominant performances of the 2021 season. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver led 223 of 311 laps and won the race with relative ease. It will be anything but this time around. However, Harvick is buoyed by the fact that he was fourth in […]

Kyle Larson May Just Win On Sunday At Dover

Denny Hamlin Starts Second At Dover On Sunday
Denny Hamlin still has not won a single race in 2021. Despite nine top-five finishes in 12 races, Hamlin has been unable to take the checkered flag one single time. He won the first installment at Dover last year. However, the second race saw him take an oddly timed pit stop which cost him any […]

Martin Truex Jr. A Favorite Again At Dover

Ryan Preece Might Be More Of A Factor At Darlington
What may help Ryan Preece, who starts 29th, the most is his ability to drive through a high-banked course. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver was able to lead nine laps at Talladega and finish 14th two weeks ago. That +15 place differential was a season-high. Now, Preece was unlucky as he crashed out with eight […]

Ryan Newman will begin Sunday from the 20th position for the Goodyear 400. Last year, he finished 15th, 14th, and 15th at Darlington.

Alex Bowman Could Have Fast Car At Darlington On Sunday
Alex Bowman may come from the middle of the pack and surprise on Sunday. He enjoyed two top-ten finishes on the track in 2020 including a second-place finish.

Ross Chastain May Have A Little DFS Potential At Darlington
Though Ross Chastain has not finished in the top ten since Daytona, he may still feature a little upside on Sunday at Darlington. This is not significant but Chastain has improved on his track position during all three appearances (+5. +3. and +5). Those are not significant gains but it is better than nothing. He […]

Kurt Busch Has Experience To Show DFS Upside At Darlington
Kurt Busch has performed pretty well at Darlington and could inch up the field on Sunday. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has finished in the top ten five out of the last six appearances on the 1.366-mile track. Experience has served the elder Busch here well and starting 17th lends itself to place differential points. […]
