It’s a beautiful Sunday morning at Dover International Speedway, site of today’s AAA 400 Drive for Autism (12:30 p.m. ET, FS1), race No. 13 of 26 in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series regular season.
The big news this morning is that 10-time Monster Mile winner Jimmie Johnson will start at the back of the field because of a rear gear change in the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet.
That should play into the hands of the other favorites to win today, Toyota drivers Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Martin Truex Jr., as well as the Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet of Kyle Larson, who won Saturday’s XFINITY Series race here.
