Dover Quick Read Fantasy Preview
1) Martin Truex Jr. – Polesitter, Martin Truex Jr. will likely be the driver to beat at Dover. Fresh off a win at Darlington, Truex has fielded the fastest car on the track in 3 of the last 6 races this season, and that includes last week. Truex is a three-time winner at Dover and his last four results are 2nd, 2nd, 2nd and 1st.
2) Kyle Larson – Truex is 1A, Larson is 1B. This year at intermediate tracks, Larson has been the fastest driver over the combined events (Total Speed Rankings). In fall 2019 when Larson most recently raced at Dover, he raced his way to victory lane. Over his last six Dover races, Larson’s average finish is 5.5.
3) Denny Hamlin – Denny Hamlin has been clicking off good finishes on a weekly basis in 2021, and look for that trend to continue at Dover. In 7 of the last 10 Dover races he’s finished in the top ten. Last year, Hamlin won race #1 and was running in 3rd in the last Stage in race #2 when he made an unexpected pit stop.
