Ty Dillon improbably advanced to the final of the NASCAR In-Season Challenge in yesterday's race at Dover after beating his opponent John Hunter Nemechek by a single position. The duo ran near each other nearly all the race, with Dillon posting an average running position of 25th to Nemechek's 26th; they ultimately finished 20th and 21st. For most of the final stage, however, Nemechek was slightly outrunning Dillon until Dillon made the deciding pass with eight laps left in regulation before he ultimately received the free pass on the final caution of the race. With Dillon now on the lead lap and Nemechek trapped a lap down, that ensured he would advance to the finals. It's hard to envision him beating the other Ty who he is facing in the finals, Ty Gibbs, but Gibbs has only beaten him 12 out of 21 races this season, so Dillon has a chance, but even if he does win, it won't really mean anything except for how this tournament was a bad measure of talent to begin with.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
