Ryan Blaney Has Rough Track Record At Dover
4 years agoPenske Racing's Ryan Blaney will be in 20th-place on the starting grid for Saturday's Drydene 311 (Race 1) at Dover International Speedway. Blaney and the No. 12 team have had trouble consistently finishing races, and last week, some late issues relegated Blaney to a 31st-place finish at the Daytona Road Course. Unfortunately for Blaney, Dover has not been a great track for him. In eight starts at the one-mile circuit, Blaney has just two top-10 finishes. Blaney has also never led a lap at Dover. With how far back he is starting, Blaney will have potential in the position differential category. However, it comes at a steep price as Blaney is super-expensive in DFS. For Blaney to end up being a good lineup choice, he will have to score his best finish at Dover. Factoring in his track record, this is a week to avoid the driver of the No. 12.
