'Rowdy' has already been on another level in 2016 and then he goes and finds the fix to his Achilles' heel in Kansas, finally conquering the track.
Another race at his hometown track came and went without a win, but Edwards wasn't hurt much in the standings and still has a strong grip on third.
Kyle Busch is quickly narrowing Harvick's points lead, but he'll be fine if he keeps up the kind of performance that has led to a series-high nine top 10s.
Johnson was unable to replicate his 2015 spring win at Kansas, but he's likely over it and licking his chops to get this weekend going at Dover, his best track -- and the one that shockingly knocked him out of the Chase last year.
Keselowski won the 2012 fall race at Dover, leading 14 laps. He's led 109 at the track since then, but has yet to land in Victory Lane again.
Busch has been on a mega rise lately. He'll have to take inspiration from his brother conquering Kansas to tame the Monster Mile, however, as he's finished in the top 10 just 25.8 percent of the time in 31 starts.
Logano was an unfortunate participant in a late-race wreck that parked him in 38th, but has a good shot to rebound at Dover, where he hasn't finished worse than 11th since 2011.
Sure, Earnhardt has a win at Dover -- but it came nearly 15 years ago. Overall, he's still enjoyed a nice stretch at the track since 2011, finishing no worse than 17th in eight races.
Saturday night's race certainly stung for Truex, but his race-high 172 laps led are a statement to the rest of the series that a single-car team like Furniture Row can be among NASCAR's elite.
With a win in hand, Hamlin certainly has the flexibility to get aggressive like he did on Saturday, but the end result (a wreck) lands him with his seventh finish outside the top 10 since he won the Daytona 500.
How many of you out there had Austin Dillon being eighth in the standings well into May, ahead of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth?
That said -- Kenseth appears to be turning things around and could soon surpass Dillon in the standings if he goes on a run, which he's more than capable of.
Since crashing at Vegas, Elliott has an average finishing position of 8.625, but the "Monster Mile" has a way of taming rookies.
Blaney is riding the wave of his first top-five of the year, but will be faced with a similar challenge to Elliott in his first trip to Dover in a Cup ride.
Kahne doesn't have a great history at Dover, but did average a fifth-place finish in two races there last year in one of his most challenging seasons to date.
Good news for Ryan Newman: He has three wins at Dover.
Bad news: They all came before 2005.
From 2008-14, McMurray went 13 straight races without a top 10 at Dover -- before notching one in each of last season's events.
Don't be fooled by Stenhouse's low number of top-10 finishes (two). The No. 17 team and Roush Fenway as a whole have vastly improved over 2016.
Allmendinger has run as high as first or second in five of the past seven races, which is a great sign for another of NASCAR's single-car teams.
For the fourth straight race, Larson failed to improve his finishing position from his starting position, but should have a good shot to reverse that trend this weekend. In four career Dover races, he has an average finish of 7.2.
