With Daniel Suárez being the latest driver to capture his first NASCAR XFINITY Series career win last weekend, the question now turns to - “Who’s next?”
Leading the contingent of those searching for their first taste of victory is Drive for Diversity and NASCAR Next program graduate, Darrell Wallace Jr., driver of the No. 6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford Mustang.
Wallace is in his second full-time XFINITY Series season. In 13 starts in 2016, Wallace has posted two top fives and four top 10s including a runner-up finish at Dover a few weeks back. Iowa is one of Wallace’s better tracks. In four starts on the .875-mile oval, he has posted three top 10s and an average finish of 8.2.
Two other potential ‘first-win’ candidates are Sunoco Rookie of the Year contenders Brandon Jones and Brennan Poole. Jones has been working with crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. this season and the pair has produced seven top 10s and an average finish of 11.3 for Richard Childress Racing. In two starts at Iowa, Jones has posted one top 10.
Last but not least, Brennan Poole sits eighth in points after posting one top five and five top 10s in the Chip Ganassi Racing No. 42 Chevrolet Camaro. Poole has made two starts at Iowa, posting a best finish of 14th last fall.
