Where do the 15 full-time NASCAR Cup Series teams rank against one another following the 20th race of the 36-race 2018 season?
A total of 20 of the 36 races on the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series schedule have now been completed following the conclusion of the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and there have still only been five teams that have won at last one race this year.
Stewart-Haas Racing’s Kevin Harvick earned his sixth victory of the season by winning the 301-lap race in his #4 Ford around the four-turn, 1.058-mile (1.703-kilometer) New Hampshire Motor Speedway oval in Loudon, New Hampshire.
Harvick’s victory was Stewart-Haas Racing’s eighth victory of the season, as Clint Bowyer has earned two victories so far this year for the team in his #14 Ford. Stewart-Haas Racing are the only team that have had multiple drivers win multiple races this year.

Prior to the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301, Stewart-Haas Racing had not won any of the last four races. During that time, Joe Gibbs Racing and Furniture Row Racing, which are the only other two teams that have won more than one race this year, each won two races, taking them from four to six and two to four victories, respectively, so far this year.
With both of those two teams closing on Stewart-Haas Racing’s lead, which they have had since after Harvick won the third race of the season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, in the wins category, Stewart-Haas Racing got back into the win column at New Hampshire for the first time since Bowyer won the race at Michigan International Speedway just over six weeks ago. They now lead Joe Gibbs Racing and Furniture Row Racing by two and four wins, respectively, with 16 races remaining in the season.
