Following the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where do the 30 full-time NASCAR Cup Series rank against one another?
Of the 36 races on the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series schedule, 20 have been completed, meaning 16 have not yet been contested. Of those 16 races, six are regular season races and 10 are playoff races.
Stewart-Haas Racing’s Kevin Harvick may very well have reestablished himself as the favorite to win the 2018 Cup Series championship by securing his sixth victory of the season in the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Harvick moved Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch out of the way with seven laps to go in the 301-lap race around the four-turn, 1.058-mile (1.703-kilometer) New Hampshire Motor Speedway oval in Loudon, New Hampshire to take the lead before he went on to win the race in his #4 Ford, preventing Busch from establishing himself as the championship favorite with his sixth victory of the year in the #18 Toyota.
The other driver who is considered one of the “big three” is Furniture Row Racing’s Martin Truex Jr., the defending Cup Series champion. He finished the face in fourth place in his #78 Toyota. Truex Jr. Harvick and Busch have combined to win 15 of the 20 races that have been held so far this year.
