NASCAR – Dover Preview (Racing Selections)
by Jason Ferris - 06/02/2005
Winner’s Circle – Dover Racing Selections
Ride to Victory
Jimmie Johnson (6/1) Johnson’s win last weekend definitely made him THE driver to beat this year. He no longer makes the mistakes that the young drivers do. At Lowe’s, Johnson showed the patience that a driver must have to become great. Also, Johnson did win at this track twice in 2002. He is the favorite this week, but when isn’t he going to be? Make Johnson part of your Dover racing selections.
Jeff Gordon (7/1) This track is no different for Gordon than any other, he finishes well. He has two wins in this race and he finished in the top five half the time. Gordon could have won last week, and I’m sure he will be gunning for the checkered this week. Make Gordan part of your Dover racing selections.
Ryan Newman (7/1) Newman has been in the hunt almost every week. Dover should be no different. Newman has won here three times in the last two years, so he definitely knows the track and knows how to stay in contention. Newman may taste Dover victory again this week. Make Newman part of your Dover racing selections.
Mark Martin (12/1) Martin is the defending champion of this race. This is Martin’s last year in NASCAR, and he is going out with a bang. He won the All-Star Challenge two weeks ago and was in contention last week. Martin is leaving everything on the track, and this week should be no different.
Tony Stewart (10/1) Stewart has struggled to get a victory this year, but Dover could change all that. His average finish in Dover is 4.25, which is the best since 1975. That coupled with his two wins is a mixture for victory in my book.
Brian Vickers (75/1) I know, he is a long shot but he could surprise everyone this weekend. Two weeks ago Vickers was given a “Go or go home notice” from his owner, and he has responded. Vickers had the best car the last two weeks, but his impatience got the best of him. He should have won the Coca-Cola 600, had it not been for some ill-timed yellow flags.

I hope any driver will win except a Hendrick driver. My man Jeff Burton won there last time. Of course I'll cheer him on, but Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin may edge in there at the end and take the win. I'm hoping any driver but Gordon, Johnson, Mears, or Kyle Busch. Your betting a whole $5 which almost buys nothing these. Pick the driver you "feel" may win or have the best chance.

Well, I love Jeff and he has done well at Dover in the past. However I think this will be the weekend for Penske. Both Newman and Busch will have strong finishes with one of them ending up in the Winner's Circle.
I would have picked Hamlin or Stewart but with the major hissy fits those two have been throwing as of late I doubt they have the focus or patients to even finish this one. This is the Monster Mile and it is a track that needs full concentration and patience just to finish.
Look for Kennseth to be strong as well this weekend. His Team is slowly getting him dialed in. And Johnson is always a safe bet.

I know without a doubt that I would put my money on Denny Hamlin. This guy has ran good in every COT race so far. He probably would have won a couple had he not had the bad luck with the speeding on pit row the one week and the dropped lug nuts, twice, the one week. Joe Gibbs Racing has these COT's figured out just as well as the Hendricks team has.

If you can pick a driver on the same team, I would. I'd go with Johnson anyday I couldn't pick Gordon. Unless he wrecks, you can just about put your life on the line that he'll finish strong if he doesn't get to go to victory lane. If you have to pick outside Hendrick, I'd probably go with Matt Kenseth. This is another sure fire top 5/10 barring a wreck. This is just what I think, although, I hope you end up paying your buddy!

I can only guess who's going to win. It wouldn't surprise me if a good old Hendrick man wins. The only thing I can guarantee is Matt Kenseth finishing in the top 5 or 10. That is most def. every race.

Jamie McMurray is going to win at Dover this weekend!
Last year McMurray scored a 2nd at Dover, his best finish of the whole season.
