Mark Martin and Jeff Gordon share 4 wins (the most of all active drivers), an average start of 10^th, and an average finish of 13^th. Martin’s average finish in the last 5 races is much better than Jeff’s, who’s struggled lately here.

Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman both have 9 starts and 3 wins. Their 33% win average is highest among active drivers. They both have 7 top 10’s. Jimmie has 2 DNF’s while Ryan has none.

Dale Jr. won the first race after 9/11 here at Dover. Half of his starts here have resulted in a top 10, and only 1 DNF.

Kyle Bush has 3 races and 3 top 10’s. Hamlin, 1 start and 1 top 10. Great stuff, but not enough starts to make a good average.

Kahne’s stats here are just horrific. 60% DNF’s, the worst of all drivers. 5 starts with an average finish of 25^th.

Kenseth won here in the spring, and Dover’s a pretty popular place to sweep.

RCR doesn’t have very impressive numbers here. 0 wins for both drivers. Shining slightly is Harvick. 0 DNF’s and half of his starts result in top 10’s.

Tony has 2 wins here, both in 2000 and in a Pontiac. His last 3 finishes here are 15^th, 18^th, and 25^th (with Ricky Rudd in the car). He’s got very good averages less these 3 finishes. 0 DNF’s and an average finish of 7^th, even with the last 3 races included. Newman shares the 0 DNF and Average finish of 7^th with Tony.

My pick for the win; Tony Stewart. Honorable mentions go to Newman, Martin, Kyle Bush, and Johnson.
