William Byron has never won at Dover before, as his best finishes here have been a trio of fourth-place showings. However, he has also not lacked for speed, as he has led 250 laps in the last four races, including 229 in the last two. In the 2023 race, he made the first two passes for the lead and he also made another in last year's race. He feels more suitable on this track type than the four drivers starting in front of him, with the possible exception of Chase Elliott, so he could easily be one of the most likely drivers to dominate the race. However, at $10,500, he is also mighty expensive for a driver who has rarely finished better than he is starting on Sunday. Although he could easily win, starting either Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, or Kyle Larson seem like safer bets since they are starting worse in the field. Byron is still nonetheless one of the strongest options.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
