The final race of the Round of 16 is over, and here are 5 lessons learned from the Citizen Soldier 400 at Dover.
Dover was the last race of the Round of 16, and now 4 drivers won’t be moving on to compete in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship.
The race on Sunday saw only a few cautions, but the Monster Mile changed who was above the cutoff for the Chase.
Kyle Larson was going to move onto the next round if he was able to finish in a decent position, but car troubles sent him to the garage and in his place Austin Dillon was able to move on to the round of 12. But is Dillon really capable of winning the Sprint Cup championship, or does he still have a lot to prove?
The main story coming out of Dover though is how Martin Truex Jr. was able to dominate the Monster Mile, taking advantage of a mistake made by the 48 team on pit road. Johnson is known for his 10 wins at this track, but Truex but on such a dominant performance that there might be a new monster slayer at Dover.
