Dover 2
9/18/08: SOZ Studios, MI - By Dennis Michelsen "DMIC" (RaceTalkRadio.com)
Why can't we start the Chase at Dover? This place is pure adrenalin with the high banks and no escape when something happens. Dover is like slamming 43 cars on a roulette wheel and seeing which number can pop up without crashing! We have seen drivers dominating races here only to be caught up in a wreck when two laps down cars collide. Laps fly by in less than 25 seconds on a one-mile track! No there is nothing wrong with the Magical Mile in New Hampshire but there is something even more majikal about the Monster Mile! Good luck with your fantasy picks this week and remember to grab the best qualifiers at Dover.

Every week the raw data is analyzed to separate the pretenders from the contenders! Anyone earning 240 points or more in the Power Ratings total has a great chance. 100 points is a perfect score for each category with 300 a perfect Power Rating.
