I appreciate all the answers. With so many drivers running well I figured there would be a wide range of names tossed out there. Considering his track record you'd expect Bloomer to get to be the top choice. However, after that the choices are very varied and that's what you'd expect. It really makes you wonder how in a season where no one driver has been over the top dominant how DoD has a unanimous consensus on their top driver poll almost every week for 2 years.
I counted up quickly and didn't double check but thus far the results...
Bloomer - 14
B-Shep - 7
Babb - 5.5
Pierce - 5
T-Mac - 3
Erb - 3
Richards - 2
Overton - 2
Owens - 2
Mc Dowell - 2
Shirley - 1
Marlar - 1.5
EPJ - 1
JD - 1
At least we can't agree on anything. LOL

Reason: spelling
Bloomquist, McDowell, Dennis Erb. All three are very good running the middle or bottom and don't need to rely on a big cushion to win at Eldora. The cushion is faster, and more exciting, but also very difficult to master for 100 laps. One mistake and the race is over.
I'm as big a Marlar fan as anyone, but Mike has never quite gotten a handle on the big E during the feature races. Good qualifying. Good in heats. Not so good in features. He's said as much before.
Good point on Marlar. I just think he's having one of those seasons where you can't count him out. He ran well at I-80 which is a big track. He won Knoxville last year. It will be interesting to see how he does at the Show Me.
Richards doesn't run well there so what's the reason behind picking him? Hasn't even been running consistent enough in the Lucas series. Same with TMac.
I seem to recall Sheppard winning the DTWC a couple times. The guy can wheel. Richards just isn't good at Eldora.
Didn't Shep win a pair of prelims one year at Eldora? I can't remember if it was the Dream or the World, but he didn't end up making the field that year. Maybe it was 2015 because they changed the rules after that.
bshep swept prelims at the world in 2015 and the dream in 2016. he gets around eldora well he will be tough to beat. with as much "weather" we have had look for someone to tear down the wall and win like a Pierce Sheppard Davenport or Babb
