NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY SYLVANIA 300
My #5 driver only has one start here, #42 Kyle Larson. In his first start in July, Kyle finished 3rd. Kyle runs all out with no boundaries and if I’m Rad Bad Brad I would be advised to look out-even under caution.
My #4 driver is a former-winner here, #18 Kyle Busch. Kyle has 19 starts, one win and seven total Top 5’s. In fact his last three races here were second place finishes. He is 27th hottest over the last six weeks, but now that it is Chase time the program appears to be back on track.
The #3 pick is another former-winner, #20 Matt Kenseth. Matt comes into the Granite Planet with 29 starts, one win and seven Top 5 finishes. He is the defending champion of this race and in July he finished 4th.
My #2 pick is a three-time former-winner here, #24 Jeff Gordon. Jeff has 39 starts, three wins and 16 Top 5’s. Here in New Hampshire Jeff has the #1 highest-average finish and 17 of the last 18 were Top 15 finishes, ten of those were Top 10’s and seven were Top 5’s.
The #1 pick has won the last two races this season, #2 Brad Keselowski. Brad has ten starts here with one win and four Top 5’s. He is ranked #1 for me on flat tracks, is #1 in points and was #1 here in July. More importantly because of his win last week he is locked into the Chase at least until Talladega. So he has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Monday we’ll preview the AAA 400 from Dover.
