Austin Dillon Surprisingly Consistent At Las Vegas But Never A Real Contender
2 months agoLas Vegas has been a decent track for Austin Dillon, who qualified 13th for Sunday's race. Although he's rarely significantly factored for the lead or the win, he has started and finished between 10th and 20th in all but one of the last seven races at this track and he's been a little faster since Justin Alexander returned as crew chief. Furthermore, Richard Childress Racing has struggled for speed at a lot of track types, but intermediates have probably been their best track type this season. At the last intermediate race in Kansas, Kyle Busch led late while Dillon finished 12th, and Dillon finished 16th in the first Las Vegas race this year with Keith Rodden, who is not as good as Alexander. Dillon will most likely finish just outside the top 10.
