Austin Dillon Has Poor Record at Phoenix
9 months agoBoth the Richard Childress Racing drivers qualified poorly for this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix with Austin Dillon qualifying 30th, one spot ahead of his teammate Kyle Busch (although Busch posted a slightly faster lap time). Dillon has badly struggled since losing his crew chief, Justin Alexander, who he had for all his wins and all but one of his Playoff appearances. However, even in the years when he was an above-average performer, Phoenix was not a good track for Dillon, as he has never led a lap here or finished better than eighth in 20 career starts. Couple that with his poor qualifying performance and his general downturn after losing Alexander and he will very likely have a subpar performance and race result this weekend as well.
