Ross Chastain May Get Tough Knocks This Week at New Hampshire
Ross Chastain helped Kurt Busch win last week at Atlanta when he "blocked" Kyle Busch. This week, Chastain starts 20th and the expectations are that the Chip Ganassi Racing driver may not have an easy time in traffic. He could move up a few positions but New Hampshire has been rough. Chastain has finished 25th... Read More
Chase Briscoe Not Expected to be Factor at New Hampshire
Chase Briscoe has shown improvement and drives very well at road races. However, New Hampshire is not Atlanta and the 1.058-mile track has been tough on lots of drivers. Add in that this is the No. 14's first attempt at the NASCAR level on this track. Do not expect the Stewart-Haas Racing driver to have... Read More
Bubba Wallace Has Marginal DFS Possibility at New Hampshire
Bubba Wallace has driven much better on the racetrack as of late. He is making way fewer unforced errors and the results have been tangible. He has six top-20 results in his last seven races and a top-five at Pocono. Last week, Wallace improved ten spots at Atlanta. The 23XI Racing driver is showing glimpses... Read More
Chris Buescher Too Dicey for DFS at New Hampshire on Sunday
Chris Buescher has been pretty consistent in the last month. He has finished from 16th to 20th in four races. That was despite a pole position for the second race at Pocono. The Roush Fenway Racing driver just does not seem to have the long-run capability of getting into the top ten. He has just... Read More
William Byron Just Not a Good Pick This Week at New Hampshire
Maybe William Byron gets to drive close to the front this week but it is more likely that he does not. Byron has now finished 12th or worse in three straight races. At Atlanta last week, the Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver started 20th and finished a mere 19th. It was expected he could finish in... Read More
Joey Logano Has Potential at New Hampshire on Sunday
Joey Logano starts back in 15th on Sunday which seems odd but that is where the metrics and weights are. The Team Penske driver had back-to-back top tens at Pocono but fell back at Road America and Atlanta. This dropped him to sixth in the points standings. Logano, in the past, has been consistent at... Read More
Matt DiBenedetto Might Surprise Again at New Hampshire
Matt DiBenedetto has surprised many with a tenth and ninth the past two weeks. He does not have a ride currently for next year. However, the Wood Brothers Racing driver is trying to mount a charge of sorts. The problem was between Darlington and Pocono. In those eight races, DiBenedetto finished between 18th and 24th... Read More
Austin Dillon Has Little Upside at New Hampshire on Sunday
Austin Dillon starts 13th on Sunday at the Loudon track but he likely will not stay there. Dillon has just one top ten result in 11 races in New Hampshire. The Richard Childress Racing driver did finish 13th last year but several racers unexpectedly crashed and there was no Kyle Larson. Metric-wise, Dillon has never... Read More
Kevin Harvick Might Not Have Speed to Compete at New Hampshire
Kevin Harvick has an incredible track record at New Hampshire but it appears father time may be catching up to the Stewart-Haas Racing driver. This has been a rough year from a speed and driver standpoint. Harvick has six top-five results but no wins on the 2021 season. At New Hampshire, the No. 4 had... Read More
Brad Keselowski A Big Wildcard at New Hampshire on Sunday
Brad Keselowski could crash out of the race as easily as winning at Loudon on Sunday. The last three races have been a blend of it all for the Team Penske driver. There has been one constant. Keselowski finds ways to lead laps. He has led 21.7% of the laps the past three seasons (only... Read More
Kyle Larson Angry and Ready to Improve at New Hampshire
Kyle Larson has the best overall driver rating this season and sits just points away from Denny Hamlin for the top spot. If it feels like this has been said for a few weeks, one is not wrong. That being said, Larson is fourth-best on intermediate track the past three seasons with an 8.8 average... Read More
Can Christopher Bell Do It One More Time at New Hampshire?
Christopher Bell finished in the top ten in two straight races. The question is can the Joe Gibbs Racing driver make it 3-for-3 heading into the break? The No. 20 car has consecutive top tens twice this year but has not had that third one many are expecting. For Bell to make "The Chase", he... Read More
Tyler Reddick Another Top Ten Finish Plausible at New Hampshire
This could be very close but Tyler Reddick has a nice chance to finish in the top ten again at New Hampshire on Sunday. His only appearance on the track produced a tenth-place result. The Richard Childress Racing driver has performed well on the circuit with six top ten placings in his last nine races.... Read More
Ryan Blaney Liked Atlanta but Likes New Hampshire a Little Too
Ryan Blaney has a couple of top-ten finishes in his previous three races at New Hampshire. While he has not won there, Blaney was seventh and fourth in 2018 and 2019 respectively. Last year did not go so well as the No. 12 finished 20th. He did lead five laps but developed car issues as... Read More
Can Denny Hamlin Finally Win at New Hampshire?
Denny Hamlin still leads the point race by a scant ten points over Kyle Larson. It has been quite a balancing act there over the past few weeks. Hamlin still has not won a race in 2021. The No. 11 has been close so many times this year that we lost count. There are the... Read More
Alex Bowman Less Dicey Than Most Think at New Hampshire
Alex Bowman likely will not contend for a win at New Hampshire. However, his Hendrick Motorsports Racing car should stay around the top ten for most of the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301. Bowman has an average finish of 13.33 over the last three races at the track without a top-ten finish. That means he is... Read More
Kurt Busch May Be Risk at New Hampshire
Yes, Kurt Busch has been on a run culminating in a win at Atlanta last week but this week may be a different story. He does start fourth in the Chip Ganassi Racing car but has an average finish outside the top 14 at New Hampshire in the last three races. The elder Busch has... Read More
Chase Elliott Another Consideration at New Hampshire on Sunday
Chase Elliott did not completely blow up last week at Atlanta and probably could have. He led 13 laps in all and managed to finish in seventh. Elliott did not fade quite like expected. His runs were pretty strong even on the longer ones where the No. 9 maintained decent track position. The Hendrick Motorsports... Read More
Martin Truex Jr. Shows Better Form, Could Contend at New Hampshire
It has been a long, strange season for Martin Truex Jr. He had a run of dominance which included that incredible win at Darlington. Then, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver could not do anything right. It all started with the car issues at Dover then snowballed for about a half-dozen races. The last three weeks... Read More
Kyle Busch Likely to Stay Hot at New Hampshire
Kyle Busch has been the hottest driver in NASCAR over the last month or so vaulting to third in the points race. His average finish is now up to 10.1 which is excellent. That includes four consecutive podiums (one win) and a top-five result in six of his last seven races. The Joe Gibbs Racing... Read More

Ryan Blaney Enjoys Atlanta Again
Ryan Blaney did it again at the Quaker State 400 on Sunday. He did not lead a single lap but managed a fifth-place finish anyway.

Alex Bowman Stays Near The Top All Day At Atlanta
Alex Bowman was as consistent as William Byron normally is on Sundays. Bowman was in the top five most of the afternoon. He was fourth after Stage 1 and third after Stage 2. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing Driver never did lead a lap but did pretty much everything else. A couple of times saw Bowman... Read More
Martin Truex Jr. Finishes In Third Place At Atlanta
Martin Truex Jr. struggled too often lately. On Sunday, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver showed that maybe he just has to drive. He went from lurking around the top 10 to a third-place result on Sunday. This was essential. He did accumulate three points between the first two stages. Though the No. 19 driver did... Read More
Kyle Busch Loses Battle of Busch Brothers at Atlanta
Kyle Busch will not be sending a Christmas card to Ross Chastain this season. Chastain of Chip Ganassi Racing blocked Busch while his elder brother, Kurt, got on by. From there, the younger Busch had to settle for second place on Sunday at the Quaker State 400. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver led 91 laps... Read More
Kurt Busch Wins Battle Of Busch Brothers At Atlanta
This was one of the more unexpected races of the 2021 season as Kurt Busch showed signs of contending once again. He was surprisingly leading the race early and often. The No. 1 racked-up laps led. In all, the Chevy car topped the standings for 144 laps. That included the most important one -- the... Read More
