Erik Jones and Suarez, are the only former winners in the field for Saturday’s race.

Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers in the field this weekend include Austin DIllon, Jones, Kyle Larson, Ryan Blaney, Suarez, and Ty Dillon.

Xfinity Series Championship

Justin Allgaier, Ryan Reed, Elliott Sadler, Daniel Hemric, and William Byron are the only four NASCAR Xfinity Series regulars that have Playoff points. Allgaier has seven Playoff points, Reed has five Playoff points, while Sadler has two Playoff points. Both Byron and Hemric have a single Playoff point each.

Dover International Speedway is also the final Dash 4 Cash race of the season. Should Hemric qualify for the Dash 4 Cash and be the highest finishing NASCAR Xfinity Series regular, he would lock himself into the Playoffs.
