Matt Kenseth, No. 17 DEWALT Ford (Roush-Fenway Racing)Last Week: 7th place finish in the Coca-Cola 600
Career at Dover: 15.3 Avg. Finish, 1 win, 5 top 5's, 10 top 10's
Why he could win: A lot of people remember Matt Kenseth's first win in the Sprint Cup Series, the 2000 Coca-Cola 600. Many fail to remember, however, that the following week Matt Kenseth finished second at Dover. Lets not forget he dominated the fall race here until having various issues, so don't be surprised to see him running up front.
Carl Edwards, No. 99 Office Depot Ford (Roush-Fenway Racing)Last Week: 9th place finish in the Coca-Cola 600
Career at Dover: 9.1 Avg. Finish, 1 win, 3 top 5's, 4 top 10's
Why he could win: Edwards has been the king of concrete in the last several years. At the three concrete tracks on the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series (Dover, Bristol and Nashville) Edwards has 7 wins. You can't argue with success.
Mark Martin, No. 8 U.S. Army Chevrolet (Dale Earnhardt, Inc.)Last Week: 15th place finish in the Coca-Cola 600
Career at Dover: 12.7 Avg. Finish, 4 wins, 20 top 5's, 27 top 10's
Why he could win: Look at those numbers, do I really need any more reason to pick Martin? I mean come on, 2o top 5's and 27 top 10's at one track? That's dominance, no matter what language you use.
This week's underdog is a driver with a little bit of success at Dover and he is desperately in need of a good run (like so many drivers are).
Joe Nemechek, No. 78 Furniture Row Racing Chevrolet (Furniture Row Racing)Last Week: Failed to qualify for the Coca-Cola 600
Career at Dover: 23.8 Avg. Finish, 1 top 5, 5 top 10's
Why he could win: Winning is out of the question for Joe and the boys at Furniture Row Racing, but a solid top 15 or top 20? Sure, why not. At Dover anything is possible.
