Where the Chase guys will start at Dover

Qualifying in my opinion is semi important at Dover. Dover is a multi-grooved track so a bad qualifying position can be overcome here. It’s not as easily overcome as tracks like California or Michigan, but it’s not impossible. Don’t concentrate on qualifying as much here as you should be on how they do in happy hour. When I talk about Happy Hour I’m not talking about the one fast lap that you normally see. I’m talking about Happy Hour average speeds.
