Austin Dillon's Richmond Speed Unlikely to Carry Over to Bristol

Despite Poor Qualifying Run, Daniel Suarez Might Not Be a Great Choice for Place Differential Points

Austin Dillon has not been particularly good at Bristol as he has never led a lap here and has only posted four top tens here, but one of those came in this year's spring race when he finished 10th and he certainly surprised many people by successfully defending his Richmond win with an even more dominant performance there even in a race where his teammate Kyle Busch (who used to dominate there) was pretty lousy. However, Richmond is a very different track from Bristol and it's hard to argue that one's speed at one of those tracks will automatically transfer to the other except that drivers who tend to run well in general run well at both tracks. Dillon's Richmond success seems to have more to do with a single genius setup than a particular short track prowess, so it's hard to imagine him doing something at Bristol tonight, especially starting 23rd.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
