Kevin Harvick

Harvick has posted second-place, third-place and fourth-place average running positions in his last three races at Dover International Speedway. If you look at all of the other drivers put together, all of them have combined to finish fourth or better in average running position just two times. So Harvick seems to know hwo to control this track. In those three races, though, he has won just once, finishing in sixth place and fourth place the other two times. Last fall, when he finished sixth, he led the race for 286 laps — one of four times he has held the lead for more than half the race in his last ten races at Dover. What held him back in the fall was a loose wheel on a pit stop late in the race, making him return — so finishing sixth was actually impressive.

Kyle Larson

Larson led at Dover International Speedway for 378 of the 800 laps in the two races here in 2017, finishing in the top five both times. However, he won neither race — so can he finish when it counts? The 2018 campaign was tough for Larson, but this spring was solid as he finished third in the spring race at Dover. He averaged fifth place running position for the whole race. Since then, he has put together a solid run of racing.

Erik Jones

Jones is one of the more inconsistent racers in the field. He has not finished in the top 30 in any of his last four races (which does include one DQ, to be fair). However, he also can win races — and push the other leaders hard. In the past two races at Dover International Speedway, he came in fourth last fall and then sixth this past spring. He has a top-12 average running position in four of his five career races at this track. He offers some value here — and has a good track record.

Daniel Suarez

Suarez has driven for teams that usually do quite well at Dover International Speedway (Joe Gibbs Racing and Stewart-Haas Racing). He has five career races here in his career, and his worst finish was this spring, when he came in 11th. He averaged a 13th-place running position, giving him four races with that high an average running position or better in those five races. He has a win here as part of the Xfinity Series in 2016. Even though Suarez is not in contention for the Cup Series title, he has shown speed in some of his latest races. He averaged in the top 15 in running position in each of his last seven races, and he came in eighth at Bristol. He definitely has the car and the talent to pull out a surprise here.
