Can Austin Dillon finally win his first race in 2017?

2016 saw Kyle Larson win for the first time in the Cup Series. Larson and Dillon broke into the Cup Series together in 2014. Despite not winning last season, Dillon did make it to the NASCAR playoffs for the first time. Dillon’s playoff push was the result of his new found on-track consistency.

If Dillon is going to win in 2017 he is going to have to keep the consistency train rolling. When you’re running towards the front of the pack, the wins will eventually come. That’s the logic that worked for Kyle Larson and the same will work for Dillon. The only question is if that win will come in 2017.
