Matt Kenseth didn’t have a great start to the season. After weeks of missed opportunities and mistakes, he finally broke through and grabbed a win at Dover.

He’s had some issues over the past few weeks, but that shouldn’t be a factor, as he’s proved his ability to race well at Loudon.

Kenseth started off the first half of his career with plenty of solid finishes, before failing to finish in the top-10 in nine out of ten races from 2008 to 2012. However, in his last six races at the track, Kenseth has been hot.

He’s finished in the top-10 five out of six times and has won twice with both wins coming in the Chase (2013 and 2015). During the stretch, he’s managed to lead a total of 178 laps, including 106 in his win back in 2013.

Though he certainly hasn’t had the type of year that he planned on having before the season began, he’s put together some of his best races on short tracks.

Matt Kenseth is your favorite for New Hampshire.
