The Low Tier – Martinsville
Cody Ware – Cody Ware can be a caution machine, and he certainly brought out quite a few last spring. In 2021 at “The Paper Clip”, Ware had results of 28th and 30th. If Ware can avoid trouble which is never far from him, I think he’s a high-twenties to low-thirties driver. For the season minus Richmond where he crashed, Ware has a 26.5 average finish. Shocking, I know right?
BJ McLeod – BJ McLeod does a good job taking care of his equipment, and that will give him some upside. By that I mean he has high-twenties to low-thirties potential. Last year at Martinsville, McLeod finished 29th in both races.
Josh Bilicki – At Martinsville in the #77, I can’t say I expect anything out of Josh Bilicki, other than him being about a 30th place performer. Last year at Martinsville in the less competitive #52, Bilicki finished 35th in the fall and then 23rd in the spring. In fall 2020 in his one other start he finished 32nd. In 2022 over his four starts in the #77, Bilicki’s average finish is 24.25.
JJ Yeley – JJ Yeley is back in the #15 at Martinsville, but after an uninspiring 33rd last week in his season debut in this very ride, I think we should probably expect more of the same. Last spring at Martinsville, Yeley finished 25th, but take note he finished 8 laps down and that race had a “Big One.” In 2020, Yeley had a pair of 31st place finishes for the season. On Saturday night unless the attrition mounts, I would pencil him in as a low to mid-thirties driver. If things go well, he might finish in the high-twenties.
