The Low Tier – Dover
Michael McDowell – Since 2014 Michael McDowell has only raced at Dover twice. Both of his starts were in the last two spring races. For fantasy purposes just focus on his two spring starts because in his other races prior to 2014 he was a “Start and parker.” This spring he finished 19th and had a 23rd place average running position and earned the 23rd best driver rating. In spring 2016 he finished 20th. On Sunday I would look for him to likely be a low to mid-twenties driver. (Yahoo C Driver)

David Ragan – Attrition will be David Ragan’s friend at Dover. If he dodges it he might be able to finish in the low-twenties. Currently he has back to back 30th place results. In this year’s 30th place finish he brought out the Green-White-Checker when he got into the wall late. Just prior to his problem he was running in the low-twenties. Last fall’s race was full of green flag runs and in that event he finished 30th and had a 29th place average running position. In spring 2016 the attrition rate was sky high and in that event he escaped with a 17th place finish. (Yahoo C Driver)
Cole Whitt – Cole Whitt has a 26.7 average finish at Dover. In all of his starts he’s finished between 22nd and 30th. This spring he had his best finish and came home 22nd. In his first 6 Dover races he finished between 26th and 30th. On Sunday I would look for him to likely be a high-twenties driver. (Yahoo C Driver)
Matt DiBenedetto – Matt DiBenedetto has raced at Dover five times and in 4 of his 5 starts he’s finished between 27th and 34th. In his last two starts he’s had results of 27th and 29th. This spring the attrition rate was sky high. He didn’t have any major problems but he still finished 9 laps down in 29th. Last fall he finished 27th. In spring 2016 he was involved in an accident and finished dead last. (Yahoo C Driver)
Landon Cassill – At Dover Landon Cassill will likely be a mid-twenties to about 30th place driver, and that’s if he avoids trouble. In 3 of the last 5 races at “The Monster Mile” he’s finished between 19th and 29th, in the other two he had major problems. This spring he was likely a mid to high-twenties driver but in the last quarter of the race he got into the wall about 3 times and that doomed him to a 36th place finish. Last fall he didn’t run well. He finished 29th and had a 27th place average running position. In spring 2016 the attrition rate was sky high and in that event he finished 19th (4 laps down).
