At Richmond last week we got to see strategy come into play, but also the fastest car at the end of the race not be able to pass yet again as Joey Logano was able to stay in front of Chase Briscoe for the win. Next up, we continue the Short/Small track part of the schedule we’ve been on as we head up to New Hampshire. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
