| Jimmie Johnson is 25/1 to win Saturday at Dover. |
Born before the coronavirus pandemic on the regular schedule at Pocono Raceway, the revised post-COVID-19 schedule has also done the doubleheader out of necessity to complete a full 36-race schedule at Kansas Speedway last month and Dover this weekend.
My immediate observations for Saturday’s and Sunday’s race which are both called the Drydene 311, each 89 miles shorter than a normal Dover race, is that only three races remain until the playoffs are set with 16 drivers to compete for the championship in the final 10 races. Drivers like Matt DiBenedetto (596 points) and William Byron (577) sit as the hunted in the No. 15 and No. 16 slots, respectively, in the standings while Jimmie Johnson (552), Erik Jones (542), and Tyler Reddick (520) must use this weekend to make some upward progression in points and ready themselves for a final race showdown next week at Daytona International Speedway’s 2.5-mile layout where anything can happen.
Next up is the race package that will be used on Dover’s 1-mile concrete layout that features 24 degrees of banking in the turns. I liken it to a bigger Bristol Motor Speedway (half-mile) and so do many of the crew chiefs who use similar setups for each. Which is why results from both Bristol races run so far should be reviewed.
