Dover Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings

Aric Almirola – Aric Almirola should definitely be on your fantasy NASCAR radar at Dover. He ran well this spring, and he’s shown potential in the past in lesser equipment. Over the last six Dover races he has three results in the top 11 and four results in the top 16. This spring he ran well. He finished 11th, had a 15th place average running position and earned the 16th best driver rating. It was a very solid showing for him in the #10. Last fall he didn’t have a good performance. He finished 25th and had a 25th place average running position. In spring 2017 he missed the race due to injury. In 2016 he had results of 16th and 31st. In 2015 he finished 5th in both events. On Sunday I would look for Almirola to be a low-double digits driver who has a great chance to finish in the top ten.

Alex Bowman – Don’t overlook Alex Bowman at Dover. His average finish is 29.8 and he’s never finished better than 20th. On Sunday I’m going to lean towards him being a low to mid-teens performer. I think he’ll even have a good chance to compete for a top ten. This spring he didn’t have a good race. He started in the rear of the field and then in Stage #1 he used some pit strategy which ultimately backfired. He stayed out during an early caution that allowed him to lead laps 22 through 47 but that back fired when he eventually had to pit under green in the segment which dropped him a few laps down. He never recovered from that and it led to him finishing 23rd. In his four Dover races prior to that I would consider them irrelevant.

Daniel Suarez – Daniel Suarez has a knack for finishing well at Dover. He has a 5.7 average result and is a perfect 3 for 3 in terms of finishing in the top 8. Can he keep the streak alive? I wouldn’t count on it but yet he’s continued to finish well. On Sunday I’m going to look for him to be a low-double digits to mid-teens driver. This spring at Dover he had a great race and ran well throughout the event. He finished 3rd, earned the 5th best driver rating and had an 8th place average running position. Additionally, he finished 4th in Stage #1 and 6th in Stage #2. Last fall he ran really well, he finished 8th, earned the 9th best driver rating and had an 11th place average running position. In spring 2017 he had a strong Dover debut. He finished 6th, had a 10th place average running position and earned the 9th best driver rating. There was a lot of attrition, but when you take that into account he was legitimately top ten good. Also in that race he finished 10th at the end of Stage #1, and finished just outside the top ten at the end of Stage #2.
