As he does at many tracks, Austin Dillon has a very mediocre record at Indianapolis, but he has been good at keeping his nose clean and getting slightly above average finishes despite never contending. After finishing 13th last year in his first Indy race with the new NextGen car, Dillon starts 20th today, his worst starting position here since 2017. Since he rarely has speed and has stagnated lately, he's unlikely to drive through the field on speed so he would have to likely count on attrition to get a decent finish this time as he did last year when he had an average running position of 19th. However, the fact that everybody now has a year's experience with the Next Gen chassis on this track unlike last year means it is likely that fewer cars will crash and that longshot options like Dillon won't be worth it.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
