USA Today 301 Predictions
OPTION 1: Denny Hamlin (+600)
Hamlin currently ranks third in the NASCAR Cup Standings with 553 points. In his 17 starts this season, he has three wins, seven top-5 finishes and eight top-10s. He’s also had plenty of success on this track in previous outings. In 30 races at New Hampshire, he has three wins, 11 top-5 finishes and 19 top-10s.
OPTION 2: Joey Logano (+900)
Logano has also raced well here in previous starts. In his 23 races at NHMS, Logano has two wins, 10 top-5 finishes and 16 top-10s. Currently ranked 15th in the NASCAR Cup Standings, Logano has two top-5 finishes this season and five top-10s. In his 17 starts in 2024, he has yet to earn a victory. Perhaps today will be his day.
OPTION 3: Brad Keselowski (+1400)
In 23 starts at New Hampshire, Keselowski has two wins, 10 top-5 finishes and 16 top-10s. He’s coming off a strong outing at Iowa last week, where he finished 10th. In his last seven races, Keselowski finished outside the top-15 only once, which was in the All-Star Race. Now ranked ninth in the NASCAR Cup Standings, I expect Keselowski to be in the mix to win the checkered flag today.
