The Low Tier – Pocono

Matt Tifft – The “Tricky Triangle” might prove to be a tough venue for rookie Matt Tifft. In NASCAR’s top series he’s obviously never raced here. Last year in the Xfinity Series against lesser competition he started 21st and finished 14th. Based on how he’s typically performed this year I would look for him to likely be about a mid-twenties driver.

Corey LaJoie – At Pocono, I think Corey LaJoie will likely be a high-twenties driver. If things go really well he might be able to finish marginally better. At Pocono he has three starts under his belt. Last summer, LaJoie crashed and finished 39th. Prior to his problem he was running around 30th. I’ll note that was his only Pocono race in 2018. In 2017, LaJoie had results of 25th and 28th at the “Tricky Triangle.”

Ross Chastain – At Pocono, look for Chastain to be a high-twenties to low-thirties driver. He has two starts under his belt and his average finish is 31.5. Last summer, he finished 35th but he had some sort of issue that caused him to finish 18 laps down. Last spring, in his track debut he started 31st, had a 30th place average running position and finished 28th.

Landon Cassill – I don’t think any good is going to come from picking Landon Cassill at Pocono. On Sunday, I think he’ll be a high-twenties to low-thirties driver. Over the last five Pocono races he has a 30.2 average finish and a 30.6 average running position. Last year he had results of 31st and 34th in his #00 ride. In 2017 when he was in a more competitive situation he had results of 27th and 29th.
