Despite leading 377 more laps than Elliott Sadler to date this season, last year’s champion Ricky Stenhouse remains on the outside looking in with five races remaining.
A solid fourth-place finish at Dover allowed Sadler to increase his lead over Stenhouse to nine points. Stenhouse Jr. holds the second spot followed by Austin Dillon (-25), Sam Hornish (-60), and Justin Allgaier (-128).
The battle between Sadler and Stenhouse is destined to go down to the wire with both having victories at upcoming tracks on the schedule. Sadler won earlier this season at Phoenix International Raceway while Stenhouse took home the trophy at Texas Motor Speedway.
