Which Non-Rookie Will Win For The First Time?

In 2016 we saw Kyle Larson get his first win in the Cup Series and in 2017 there will be a handful of other drivers looking to do the same.

At the top of that list will be drivers like Chase Elliott, Austin Dillon and Ryan Blaney. Some other names out there include Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Danica Patrick.

Of those five names, Chase Elliott and Austin Dillon most likely will have the best chance in 2017 to win, but Blaney will not be that far behind. In fact, it might not be a stretch to see all three of those drivers win a race in 2017.

As far as Stenhouse and Patrick go? Probably not.
