This weekend we head to Dover Motor Speedway for the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400. The race is Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on TNT. We had practice and qualifying rained out on Saturday. There is a new tire this weekend that hasn’t been tested, which adds a lot of unknowns this weekend. I’ll be using recent Dover data, steep concrete data, recent speed, and a few other things when building lineups this weekend. There have been at least 7 cautions in four of the last five races here. Last season there were only 5 cautions for 42 laps. The race winner has started outside the top 16 in three of the last five races here. The race winner has started in the top 10 in six of the last 10 races here. With practice and qualifying being rained out, we will likely get a competition caution around lap 30. This benefits fast cars starting towards the rear. The number 1 pit stall is an advantage, which gives a nice bump to Elliott starting on the pole.

The stages are 120, 130, and 150, which is a total of 400 laps. With 400 laps, we’re looking at 180 fastest lap points and 100 laps led points on DraftKings. We’re looking at 40 laps led points and 40 potential completed lap points on FanDuel. There have been at least two dominators in eight straight races here. There have been three dominators in four straight races, which includes all three races with the Next-Gen car.
