The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will compete at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Sunday in the Foxwoods 301. I took time this week to map out the rest of the schedule. After saving allocations for the first-half of the season, I will be ready to smash the gas pedal next week and start using our top drivers. This should help shoot us to the top in our One & Done game standings.
Here are my picks for New Hampshire…

Denny Hamlin will be my pick for the One & Done game at New Hampshire. I really wanted to use Matt Kenseth in this race and then he went out and qualified 31st at a track where track position is king. I will save Kenseth for Martinsville and use Hamlin this week. Hamlin is at his best on the short-flat tracks. He has 3 wins at the Magic Mile and a 7th-place average finishing position in the last 6 races at the track. I would not be surprised to see Hamlin pick up his first win of the season Sunday.
Good luck this week!
