Newman is looking to add to his lone win this season this weekend in New Hampshire, which has been good to him thus far in his career. Newman, who topped the Good Sam 500 in Phoenix back in March, has three wins in New Hampshire with 18 top 10’s in 30 career races at the track. He finished 22nd in last week’s Quaker State 400, but a bounce back is in a horizon for Newman, who is almost certain not going to let himself get embarrassed in New Hampshire, based on his track record there.
Already enjoying a breakout campaign, Blaney aims to make this season even more memorable when he revs his engine this coming Sunday. The Wood Brothers Racing driver comes back to New Hampshire for the first time since a pair of decent finishes for a rookie last year. Blaney was 11th at the 2016 New Hampshire 301 and 12th at the New England 300 two months later. Across 18 starts in the Monster Energy Cup, Blaney has three top 5’s and seven top 10’s.
Larson got off a good start at New Hampshire, going third and second in his first two races at the track, respectively. That was three years ago and since then he’s gone 31st, 17th, 17th, and 10th in his next four appearances there. A second-place finish last week in Kentucky, however, gives No. 42 of Chevrolet, the momentum to put up a show in New Hampshire this weekend. Larson’s currently second on the Monster Energy Series leaderboard.
