Contender No. 2: Brad Keselowski

Stats at New Hampshire:

  • Wins: 1
  • Top-5’s: 5
  • Top-10’s: 8
  • Laps Led: 347

Brad Keselowski certainly doesn’t have some of the best stats at New Hampshire, but it’s his overall racing that has proved why he’s so good at the track.

Keselowski has finished in the top-10 in eight out his 13 total starts at Loudon, but his recent outings there have shown his strength.

Since the 2011 Chase, he’s finished outside of the top-10 just twice, with those two finishes coming in as 11th and 12th-place finishes. During that span, he managed to win his one and only race at the track by leading 138 laps in 2014. In the next two races there, he led 78 laps and 101 laps.

Keselowski has continued to improve at Loudon throughout the years. With an average finish of 10.4 and one of the best seasons in the Cup Series so far, there’s no doubt he’ll have a chance again this weekend.
