Ty Gibbs qualified 19th at Dover this weekend, but expect him to carve his way through the field at least to a certain extent. In last year's race, Gibbs started 24th and finished 13th in a race his teammate, Martin Truex, Jr., won. Additionally all of Gibbs' teammates finished inside the top six, indicating that the Joe Gibbs Racing cars were arguably the fastest in that race. While the Toyota chassis has changed in the intervening period, JGR's dominance at Bristol (where Gibbs also started 19th before leading 137 laps) may indicate they will dominate at Dover as well, as both tracks have a shared concrete surface. Although most people say Dover drives more like a superspeedway than a short track, some pundits speculate that the tire falloff may be similar to the Bristol race, which could play into JGR's hands. Gibbs should be an excellent dark horse candidate for the Wurth 400.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
