Ty Dillon will face Ty Gibbs in $1 million challenge final at Indianapolis
What many thought was impossible is now reality as Ty Dillon has advanced all the way into the finals for the $1 million in-season bracket challenge. In the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, he will face another 'Ty' for the big prize as Ty Gibbs also advanced. Dillon, who entered the five-week challenge as the bottom seed in the No. 10 Kaulig Racing Chevrolet, has since defeated Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Alex Bowman, and now John Hunter Nemechek. He ran around Nemechek all day at Dover, passing him on a late-race restart just before a caution that granted him the free pass. At that point, he was out of reach of Nemechek, clearing the path for him to make it all the way to the finals. "I was like, come on boys, just make it the white (flag)," Dillon told NASCAR on TNT. "It was quite the battle all day ... All respect to John Hunter, he and I ran within a spot of each other all day. It was a grind of a race for both of us, and we just had a good restart there on the #47 [Ricky Stenhouse Jr.], took it three-wide and and then chaos kind of ensued. We were able to get that wave-around, which kind of locked us into a good spot. "Just grateful to have this opportunity. The ride has been so fun. It's one of the biggest things I've done in my career. Just having fun with Kaulig Racing." Watch: Ty Dillon advances to In-Season Challenge finale: 'This run has been so fun' Gibbs, who pilots the the No. 54 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. He had to get through Justin Haley, A.J. Allmendinger, Zane Smith, and Tyler Reddick to get to this point. He was on the same strategy as Reddick at the end, as both drivers chose to pit for fresh right-side tires, but Gibbs was able to pass him on merit in the closing laps. Neither Dillon or Gibbs have ever won a Cup race before, but both now have a chance at winning $1 million Usd. next week. In last year's Brickyard 400, Dillon finished 19th, while Gibbs finished 23rd. Read Also: Denny Hamlin wins dramatic Dover NASCAR Cup race in double overtime To read more articles visit our website.

NASCAR Predictions for Dover: Cup Series Winner, In-Season Challenge Final 4 Picks
The NASCAR schedule this weekend takes us to Dover Motor Speedway, delivering the Round of 4 in the NASCAR In-Season Challenge and a pivotal points race as the regular season winds down. With the Cup Series headed back to an oval course, a sense of normalcy should return to the track this weekend. Let's dive into our NASCAR predictions for Sunday's Cup Series race at Dover Motor Speedway. Challenge Round of 4: Ty Dillon over John Hunter Nemechek Ty Dillon feels inevitable at this point. No one expected the lowest-seeded driver to make it out of Round 1, but a wreck took out Denny Hamlin. In Round 2, a crash at the Chicago Street Race took out Brad Keselowski and allowed Dillon to automatically advance. Then at Sonoma, Dillon bumped Alex Bowman to slip past his competitor to punch his ticket to the Round of 4. We're not betting against fate at this point. John Hunter Nemechek hasn't been particularly great at Dover anyway, so both the numbers and destiny suggest that Dillon's cinderella story continues. Related: Challenge Round of 4: Ty GIbbs takes out Tyler Reddick This is much more the caliber of matchup people expected when the NASCAR In-Season Challenge seedings were revealed. Tyler Reddick and Ty Gibbs have both earned their way here, and they aren't just battling for the $1 million prize—there is also a playoff spot up for grabs. Gibbs is coming off consecutive top-10 finishes and has posted the second-best average finishing position (8.5) over the last six races. Notably, Gibbs also boasts a better average finishing position than Reddick (11.5 to 14.5) in the Cup Series at Dover Motor Speedway. Both drivers will finish inside the top 16, but Gibbs (13th) edges out Reddick (15th) to advance. Read More: Ross Chastain wins a stage Ross Chastain didn't have the car to win at Sonoma Raceway, so his team played for the Stage 1 win and got a playoff point out of it. While he'll be more of a factor in the finish on Sunday at Dover, the No. 1 car will still fall well short of reaching victory lane. However, Chastain will deliver his second consecutive week with a stage win, giving him 10 stage points and the all-important playoff point. Related: Shane van Gisbergen finishes outside the top 25 It now feels like there is a portion of NASCAR fans who are waiting for Shane van Gisbergen to fail on ovals. That's what winning three races in the last five weeks and blowing away the competition on road courses will do to the fan bases of your competitors. SVG has made real strides on ovals this season, more consistently working into the top 20 late in races. However, this is his first trip to Dover Motor Speedway in the Cup Series, and that will come with its own adjustments. He'll finish outside the top 25, which will be only the second time that's happened since Talladega. Related: Kyle Larson rebounds from a tough stretch with a top-5 finish It's been a pretty rough summer for Kyle Larson, at least by his standards, and he hasn't seemed quite right since his attempt at 'The Double' ended in a pair of wrecks. The turnaround is coming on Sunday. Larson is going to turn an outstanding starting position into a stage win, which he will then carry over into his first top-five finish since Michigan. When all is said and done, Larson will walk away with the highest points total from Sunday's race at Dover. Related: Kyle Busch snags a top-10 finish, delivers strong points day The winless streak for Kyle Busch is closing in on 80 starts. Unfortunately for the No. 8 team, we don't see him snapping it on Sunday. While that means he'll still be battling for a playoff spot based on points, Sunday's EchoPark Automotive 400 will get him a little closer. Coming off consecutive top-10 finishes with 76 total points, Busch will make it three consecutive weeks and add 30-plus points to his total, narrowing the gap between him and Bubba Wallace. Denny Hamlin wins again at Dover Motor Speedway There might not be a driver happier to be headed to Dover than Denny Hamlin. He won the Würth 400 last year, marking his second top-five finish in three races at the track in the Next Gen era. The No. 11 car has also been performing exceptionally well in qualifying on ovals lately, delivering three consecutive top-three starting positions from Nashville through Pocono. Hamlin has always said that a great qualifying effort is usually a strong sign that he has a higher-than-average shot at winning. He'll be near the top of the starting grid on Sunday, turning it into his fourth win of the season.
