The Low Tier – Phoenix (ISM Raceway)

Ross Chastain – At ISM Raceway I would look for Ross Chastiain to be a mid to high-twenties driver. If things go well maybe he might finish in the low-twenties. At ISM Raceway he has two starts under his belt and in both races he’s finished in the 20’s. Last fall he had his better of the two races. When the checkered flag waved he finished 24th and had a 30th place average running position. Last spring when he made his track debut he finished 27th and had a 28th place average running position. Last year over the five combined races at shorter flat tracks he finished between 24th to 33rd every race.

Landon Cassill – At ISM Raceway I would look for Landon Cassill to likely be a high-twenties to low-thirties driver. If things go really well he might be a mid-twenties driver. He’s been pretty respectable here and over the last five races he has a 24.5 average finish and a 27.8 average running position. Last year in the desert he had results of 26th and 24th. In the three races prior to that he had results of 28th, 20th and 25th.

Matt Tifft – Matt Tifft has a 32.7 average finish for the season. At Phoenix, I’m keeping expectations low and I’m going to project him as a high-twenties to low-thirties driver. For him to finish better than that range then he’ll probably need the help of attrition. Last year at Phoenix in the Xfinity Series he had results of 7th and 3rd. Don’t read into those results because he was in a more competitive situation.

Corey LaJoie – Corey LaJoie has had tough season and things aren’t going to get any better at Phoenix. He has three starts under his belt here and sports a 35.3 average finish. In his one incident free race (spring 2018) he finished 9 laps down in 31st. In his other two races he had either an accident or an engine failure.
