New Winners In 2017

Each season we try to predict which driver without a win in the Cup Series is going to get their first win. In 2017 there are going to be three new winners and it will come from the following group of drivers; Chase Elliott, Ryan Blaney, Daniel Suarez and Erik Jones.

Elliott and Suarez should be locks to win this season. Both of them are going to have solid seasons and those seasons include winning at some point.

When it comes to Jones and Blaney I am torn. I lean for Blaney to win before Jones but the fact that Jones has the JGR connection concerns me. Either way three of these four drivers will come out of the 2017 season with wins.
