Which Driver Will Lead The Series In Wins?

  • Christopher Olmstead: Brad Keselowski will lead the 2017 season in wins. Kes is coming off of a solid 2016 performance in which he won four races. In 2017 I see him being able to win five or six times which would easily give him the most in all of the NASCAR Cup Series for the 2017 campaign.

  • Alex Herbst: With the new format coming in, I expect two teams will lead the charge, with Brad Keselowski leading the field in race wins. As one of the drivers who has been touting the new format the most, perhaps he can reap the benefits of the changes, much like he tried to with his format change to the All-Star Race.

  • Matt Lovisa: Brad Keselowski. He did it in 2014 with six and had four wins in 2016, tied for the second most

  • Michael Guadalupe: Going to go with Brad Keselowski on this. He had a lot of wins last season and is a driver who can run well on almost any type of track.

  • Dhruva Byrapatna: Kyle Busch. Joe Gibbs Racing is firing on all cylinders right now. Their flagship driver is poised for another huge year. Don’t be surprised to see Busch take home 7 or 8 wins in 2017

  • Kayla Gipson: This might shock some people, but, with 7 wins the past two seasons this driver is a good pick. I think Kevin Harvick will lead the drivers in the series with the most wins this season.

  • Dominic Lee: This is a tough question because there are so many great teams out there. But I’d have to go with Martin Truex Jr. because of the speed he showed last season
