The Fantasy NASCAR Low Tier – Dover
Ty Dillon – At Dover, I think Ty Dillon will likely be a low to mid-twenties driver. That’s essentially his 2018 weekly level of performance. At Dover, Dillon has a 23.0 average finish and in the last two races he’s finished in the low to mid-twenties. This spring he didn’t have a competitive performance. He finished 24th and had a 26th place average running position. Last fall he didn’t have a good performance. When the checkered flag waved he finished 22nd and had a 26th place average running position. The race was full of green flag runs and it led to him finishing 3 laps down. In spring 2017 he had a quality performance, but it can largely be tied to circumstances. He caught lucky break caution and took advantage of it which led to him leading 27 laps. He was on pace to finish around 4th, but on the last lap he wrecked which led to him finishing 14th.

Regan Smith – Will he race? Supposedly Kahne’s testing this week and then we’ll get our answer. Check back for content once news about him is known.
Bubba Wallace – I don’t have high expectations with Bubba Wallace at Dover. I don’t think anything good can happen unless it becomes a super high-attrition race. Realistically I think a mid-twenties finish should be expected. This spring at Dover, in his track debut he had a forgettable performance. He finished 25th, had a 25th place average running position and earned the 27th best driver rating.
Ross Chastain – At Dover, I’m writing Ross Chastain down for a 25th to 30th place finish. In 2018 on a weekly basis unless he has problems you can almost always expect him to finish within that range. This spring at Dover in his track debut he was a high-twenties driver. He finished 28th and had a 29th place average running position
Matt DiBenedetto – At Dover, Matt DiBenedetto doesn’t have a high fantasy NASCAR ceiling. I think it’s best to write him down for a result around 30th. Over the last four Dover races he’s finished within a range of three from 30th. This spring he finished 29th, had a 30th place average running position and earned the 31st best driver rating. In the three races prior to that he had results of 31st, 29th and 27th.
Landon Cassill – Landon Cassill will likely be a high-twenties to low-thirties driver at Dover. If he finishes better than that range then it can be chalked up to a high-attrition rate. This spring in his current ride he was very uncompetitive. He finished 29th, had a 30th place average running position and earned the 31st best driver rating. In his two Dover races prior to that when he wasn’t involved in an accident he had results of 29th and 29th.
