When was the last time Dixon didn’t have at least a podium in the first four races? It was 2018. How did he do in the points that year? He won a ring. He does certainly seem off, but the year is young.
There are some heavyweights buried in the back of the field that will most certainly go off strategy. What are the chances they’ll catch a sweet yellow? There have been 16 cautions in 11 races here.
The Chevy -145 still seems cheap. One would think Palou is the only Honda in the top 9 to fear. Weather looks like a 50/50 at the moment. If it’s dry at the start I’ll be shocked if everyone isn’t on reds. I’ll find that when it’s posted.
