HMS Will Lead In Wins

In what is going to be somewhat of a surprising twist, Hendrick Motorsports is going to lead the series in wins this season.

Jimmie Johnson is going to be set to go on his way to leading the team in wins. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is going to bounce back and win a handful of races as well. Add a couple of wins from Chase Elliott and Kasey Kahne to the mix and it’s a winning formula.

HMS will not edge out JGR by a lot, but only one is enough when it comes to leading the series in wins. The one thing holding JGR down this season will be the lack of Carl Edwards. Edwards could have won 3-5 races this season whereas Daniel Suarez will most likely win once at most.

JGR had a nice run at the top but that will end come this season.
