The NASCAR Cup Series travels to the northeast this weekend for the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

It’s back to short track racing for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series as the drivers and teams head to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The big question on everyone’s mind this weekend has to be whether or not anyone can stop the “big three” from dominating this weekend? Recent history shows that the chances of that highly unlikely. However, you never know what can happen when the green flag flies.

Kentucky Speedway didn’t provide us with a lot to talk about going into this week. Martin Truex Jr. rose above the rest to lead 174 of the race’s 267 laps en route to two stage wins and a celebration once again in victory lane. The dominance of the “big three” has to be on every driver’s mind headed into the weekend. Another victory for either Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick or Truex Jr. would give the trio 15 wins in the season’s first 20 races.

By and large, it’s about time for another driver to take the reins and stop those three from winning. Erik Jones’s win at Daytona was a start. However, we need more from the others. This weekend, it’s time to trade some paint at the 1-mile oval of New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Here are the five drivers more likely to win this weekend’s Foxwoods Resort Casino 301.
