NASCAR predictions for Dover All-Star Race: Here's who wins the All-Star Race
Mike Organ's pick: Tyler Reddick, No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota
Three weeks is the longest Reddick has gone without a win this season. So he is due after winning at Kansas on April 19. He has eight top-5 finishes in 12 Cup races this season. I look forward to seeing his Academy of Country Music Awards design on his No. 45 Toyota for the race.
Nick Gray's pick: Tyler Reddick, No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota
The star of 2026 so far wins the All-Star Race.
Tom Kreager's pick: Ryan Blaney, No. 12 Team Penske Ford
It's that time of year where Ryan Blaney seems to heat up. He's had his share of tough luck. He won at Nashville a year ago and like Nashville Superspeedway, Dover has a concrete track.
