The Low Tier – Las Vegas
Corey LaJoie – At Las Vegas, I would look for Corey LaJoie to be about a 25th to 30th place driver. This year at 1.5 mile tracks he’s only twice finished outside of that range. In the last two races at tracks of this length he’s had results of 28th and 30th. Earlier this year at Las Vegas, LaJoie finished within that range mentioned. When the checkered flag waved he finished 27th and had a 26th place average running position. Last fall in a super high attrition race he finished 16th. I wouldn’t read into that result. Keep in mind his average running position was 29th.
Matt Tifft – Matt Tifft didn’t have a good Las Vegas debut this spring. He finished 34th, earned the 33rd best driver rating and had a 32nd place average running position. On Sunday, I would look for Tifft to finish in the 20’s. This year at 1.5 mile tracks all of his results minus Las Vegas are in the 20’s and over the combined events minus Las Vegas he has a 24.8 average finish and a 26.8 average running position.
Landon Cassill – At Las Vegas, I would look for Landon Cassill to be a high-twenties to low-thirties driver. In 3 of the last 4 Las Vegas races he’s finished within that range. Earlier this year, Cassill wasn’t remotely competitive and he finished 7 laps down in 32nd. Last fall in a super high attrition race he finished 18th. Keep in mind his average running position in that race was 30th. In the two races prior to that he had results of 27th and 28th.
Ross Chastain – At Las Vegas, I think its safe to write in Ross Chastain in for a high-twenties to low-thirties result. This year 1.5 mile tracks all of his finishes minus Charlotte where he had problems are between 26th to 33rd. In the last two combined races at tracks of this length he has a 28.5 average finish and a 29.0 average running position. Earlier this year at Las Vegas, Chastain finished 33rd. Last year he had results of 20th and 29th.
