New Hampshire Motor Speedway will mark the 22nd race of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series season with this weekend’s Foxwoods Resort Casino 301. It’s a track where three drivers have combined to win five of the last six races: Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski and Denny Hamlin.

At this time a year ago, that trio sat 1-2-3 in the Cup standings, winning 13 of 21 races while mastering a minefield of COVID-19 complications. Harvick went on to win a career-high nine times, cruising to the regular-season points title while Hamlin posted seven victories of his own. Keselowski won four times and came 2.74 seconds short of a second Cup title, finishing runner-up to Chase Elliott at Phoenix Raceway.

How quickly momentum can shift in this sport.

Here we are, 12 months later, and that trio has won a grand total of once, at Talladega Superspeedway with Keselowski. Harvick is suffering through his worst season since switching to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014, on pace for a career low in laps led (39) while slumping to ninth in the point standings. A man who made five of the first six Championship 4s under NASCAR’s current playoff format could potentially miss the postseason altogether with three upsets down the stretch.

Hamlin is also winless, weakening as the year has progressed. The current point leader came out of the box swinging, posting eight top-5 finishes in the first nine races. But never closing the deal eventually took a hit to the No. 11 Toyota team’s confidence. Hamlin’s led just 76 laps the past dozen races while watching his advantage shrink from over 100 points to just 10 over Kyle Larson.

Keselowski is in a trickier spot, announcing next week he’ll be leaving Team Penske to become part-owner of Roush Fenway Racing in 2022. The No. 2 team has been Penske’s flagship for decades but now must deal with the pending distraction of transitioning to a new driver in Austin Cindric. Can this veteran keep the team motivated, making one last push after posting only one top-5 finish over the past 10 races?

New Hampshire comes at a good time for this group, a unique one-mile oval in the final regular-season stretch. The track shares a few characteristics with Phoenix, the championship finale but otherwise has limited use as a testing ground for playoff-bound drivers. The sport’s hottest team, Hendrick Motorsports, has struggled at this place through the years; the last HMS driver to win New Hampshire was Kasey Kahne way back in 2012.

We’ve just seen another struggling driver, Kurt Busch, complete a recent turnaround with an upset at Atlanta Motor Speedway. New Hampshire has the potential to occasionally surprise, gifting Joey Logano his first win as a rookie in 2009 and Brian Vickers his final Cup victory four years later.

So for Hamlin, Harvick, Keselowski and other drivers on the playoff bubble, the time to strike is now. Looking ahead past the two-week Olympic break, two of the final four regular-season races are on road courses, where Chase Elliott has dominated. Michigan International Speedway plays right into Kyle Larson’s wheelhouse. And placing your bet on the Daytona International Speedway finale is like throwing all your money on one number of the roulette wheel. It’s just too unpredictable.

We’ll see if New Hampshire is where old favorites come back to make new memories.

For Busch, it was the most laps led for him in any race since 2015. He’s now won a Cup race in eight straight seasons while making the playoffs 12 times in the last 13 years. Not a bad resume to sell to perspective employers as rumors swirl about where Busch will end up in 2022.

Who’s at the Back: Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

JTG Daugherty Racing has to be kicking themselves over what might have been. Stenhouse produced their most consistent season over the first half of 2021, leaving them on the fringes of playoff contention through 15 races. Since then, it’s been three DNFs over his last six starts (two engine failures and a crash not of his making at Atlanta) to leave him a distant 21st in the standings.

Unless there’s a Daytona miracle here, it’s hard to see Stenhouse on the right side of the cutline at this point. What does that mean for his employment with JTG Daugherty come 2022?

As NASCAR heads back to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Quaker State 400 this weekend, its first race of 2021 was a reminder of how, once upon a time, someone knew how to beat Kyle Larson down the stretch at an intermediate track. Back in March, Ryan Blaney used lapped traffic to sneak past Larson and lead the last nine laps at this 1.54-mile quad-oval, handing Ford their fifth straight victory at AMS.

Here’s the problem: Blaney hasn’t won since. The Blue Ovals have been feeling blue for some time now, going 10 straight races without a Cup Series victory while slipping into a distant third in the manufacturer’s race. One of their top programs, Stewart-Haas Racing, sits winless one year after Kevin Harvick torched the series for a career-high nine victories. Barring a miracle, SHR will send just one driver to the NASCAR playoffs (Harvick) three years after planting four inside the Round of 8.

That leaves Ford’s hopes almost exclusively in the hands of Blaney’s Team Penske operation. The three-car team of Blaney, Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski went on a run in the spring, winning three times in a five-race stretch. But they sit winless since Talladega Superspeedway at the end of April, watching Larson’s Hendrick Motorsports program run circles around the rest of the competition.

The last couple months for us probably haven’t been the smoothest as far as needing a little bit of overall speed,” Blaney said. “You go through those rough patches during your season and you just hope to clean them up by playoff time.”

It hasn’t helped to have a circus-like atmosphere of distractions, rare for a team known for its professionalism and driver longevity. Keselowski has all but announced his departure for 2022, moving on to become a part-owner at Roush Fenway Racing. Blaney’s crew chief, Todd Gordon, announced his retirement after the season. Speculation’s run wild on Penske’s replacement and whether the Team President’s son, Austin Cindric, will take over the No. 2 car or replace a struggling Matt DiBenedetto at Penske’s satellite program, the Wood Brothers.

It’s created an outside appearance the team is struggling to keep its act together. That’s where AMS becomes a real test. Larson has been dominant at this track type, leading 84 percent of all laps run at Charlotte Motor Speedway and Nashville Superspeedway. His victories at those tracks were by an average of over seven seconds.

Kyle Busch has had the speed lately to run with the HMS pack, scoring a victory at Pocono Raceway in June and running third to Chase Elliott at Road America last weekend. But Ford remains hard-pressed to find its own challenger, failing to put a single driver inside the top 5 at Road America.

That’s where Blaney steps in, the Blue Oval crowd’s top 20-something talent at the Cup level. In five full-time seasons, he’s never won more than a single race per year. Sweeping AMS would work wonders in rebuilding confidence for a Penske program getting outhandled and outmotored for three solid months.

“This weekend will be a really good idea to see where we stack up,” Blaney said. “Going back to a place where we won at and was really competitive – to kind of see where we stack up now with us probably thinking we need a little bit of speed.”

Can Blaney, Joey Logano or another Ford driver step into the void? Or will HMS, after seven wins in the last eight races, continue to drive off into the sunset?

Date: Sunday, July 11

Time: 3:30 p.m. ET

Track: Atlanta Motor Speedway (Hampton, Ga.)

TV: NBCSN

Radio: PRN, SIRIUS XM Channel 90

Who’s at the Front: Chase Elliott

There’s no better medicine for Elliott after a rough month of June than his favorite track type: road courses. Cruising to victory at Road America July 4, the first Cup race at the track in 65 years, Elliott now has posted seven of his 13 career wins at this track type. Only Jeff Gordon (9) and Tony Stewart (8) have more career victories on road courses in NASCAR history.

The key for Elliott is everywhere else: he’s led just 67 laps on ovals this season. But with the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL a playoff race, it feels like he’ll automatically punch a ticket into the Round of 8.

Who’s at the Back: Ty Dillon

Cutting back to a part-time schedule this season, Dillon has just a handful of opportunities to shine. The hope was driving for Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series would rebuild his confidence, translating into the handful of Cup starts he has for Gaunt Brothers Racing.

It hasn’t happened. Dillon was 26th at Road America, his worst finish of the year for GBR. In nine combined NASCAR starts this year, he has just one top-10 finish. Remember, that includes NXS equipment that’s won multiple times with Kyle Busch and Ty Gibbs.

The Jockey Made in America 250? On July 4th? What a jarring change for NASCAR tradition as the 2021 schedule shakeup continues. For over 50 years, the Firecracker 400 at Daytona International Speedway took center stage for Independence Day weekend. The aptly named season midpoint proved the perfect pairing for America’s birthday celebration.

Road America is out to change that, the 4.048-mile road course hosting its first Cup race this weekend since 1956. NASCAR is so excited about the partnership they’re already pushing a repeat appearance before any drivers step foot on the racetrack. It’s the fourth of a record-setting seven road courses on the docket as the sport tries to incorporate more diversity in 2021.

It’s also the latest in NASCAR’s sizzling summertime of changes, Silly Season moves and new races popping up at a frenetic pace. In just the last two weeks alone…

- The first NASCAR races at Nashville Superspeedway since 2011 were held (including the first-ever Cup event).

After 20 years, Chip Ganassi sold his two-car Cup operation to Justin Marks and partner Pitbull at Trackhouse Racing. Keep in mind Trackhouse was simply an idea on paper this time a year ago.

- NASCAR Xfinity Series owner Matt Kaulig purchased two Cup charters from Spire Motorsports in order to race full-time in Cup next season. Spire and driver Corey LaJoie says the team might turn around and buy back a second charter from somebody else (they still have one left).

- Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced he is actively seeking a charter for JR Motorsports in Cup next season but claims he needs “$10 million+” as the cost of entry skyrockets in advance of the Next Gen car.

- NASCAR Hall of Famer Jeff Gordon left his role at FOX Sports to become vice chairman at Hendrick Motorsports (and the de facto successor to owner Rick Hendrick down the line).

All that and we’re less than two weeks into the summer. Several Silly Season questions have yet to be answered, from charter purchases to who will drive the flagship No. 2 Ford at Team Penske in 2022.

How will the flurry of NASCAR news continue up at Road America? The central focus will be on the last two road course winners, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson. Six of Elliott’s 12 career victories have come at left and right-turn tracks, including this year’s inaugural event down in Austin (Circuit of the Americas). Larson struck back at Sonoma Raceway, part of his month-long win streak that left him surging to second in the standings, just two points behind Denny Hamlin.

Will any of the road course ringers break their stranglehold at this track type? AJ Allmendinger will jump over from the NASCAR Xfinity Series, seeking his first Cup victory since 2014 at Watkins Glen International. Then, there’s teammates Kurt Busch and Ross Chastain who hope to bounce back from Ganassi’s shocking sale with an upset victory that catapults them off the bubble and into the NASCAR playoffs.

Will Allmendinger, Austin Cindric and other NASCAR Xfinity Series competitors have an edge in the Cup race? NXS has raced Road America since 2010 while no Cup full-timer was even born the last time this series raced here. A Cinderella story would inject life into a NASCAR division that’s stalled out at 11 winners as of late (just one new one in the last eight races).

Fireworks will surely ensue at a road course where contact is the norm, not the exception. Expect this Independence Day 62-lapper to be one of the better NASCAR races you’ll see this year.

Date: Sunday, July 4

Time: 2:30 p.m. ET

Track: Road America (Elkhart Lake, Wis.)

TV: NBC

Radio: MRN, SIRIUS XM Channel 90

Who’s at the Front: Kyle Busch

Busch posted a 1.5 average finish in last weekend’s Pocono Raceway doubleheader, culminating in a Sunday win where he outlasted everyone else on fuel mileage. He nursed a broken clutch to the finish where his No. 18 Toyota ended the race with only fourth gear. It was quite a stroke of luck, as any caution flag or extra stop for gas would have ruined his chance for the victory.

That said, Busch still feels like Joe Gibbs Racing has a long way to go to catch up to their championship rivals. It’s the first race won by anyone outside Hendrick Motorsports since Martin Truex Jr. was victorious at Darlington Raceway Mother’s Day Weekend.

“There was a Hendrick car that was going to win, right?” Busch claimed about his Pocono triumph. “Or looked poised to have victory without being short on fuel. I don’t know that we necessarily outdid them anyhow. We were just in a little better situation than they were.”

Who’s at the Back: Chris Buescher

Four races ago, Buescher looked like a playoff lock. Now, he’s on the outside looking in after a sudden surge from Kurt Busch knocked Buescher out of the final spot. Runs of 16th, 36th, 20th and 19th the last three weeks allowed Busch to gain 86 points.

Sunday was the biggest disappointment for Buescher, starting from the pole only to lose 18 spots over the course of the race. Can he turn it around with three road courses, not his bread and butter, in the final seven events of the regular season?

News Briefs

The turmoil at Team Penske continues as crew chief Todd Gordon announced his retirement this week. Gordon, currently paired with Ryan Blaney, earned a NASCAR Cup championship with Joey Logano back in 2018. He stated a desire to spend more time with family after racking up 23 career Cup victories atop the pit box.

NASCAR has chosen to discontinue eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational events for the rest of 2021. These virtual races, popular during the pandemic, waned in popularity this year as COVID-19 restrictions eased across the country. Underdogs like James Davison and Timmy Hill briefly gained notoriety in the series for winning these events as computerized equipment leveled the playing field.

SRX continues its strength in the ratings versus NASCAR. The latest edition of the new series Saturday night at Eldora Speedway was watched by 1.38 million on CBS, falling just short of the 1.44 million that watched the Pocono Raceway Cup race on NBCSN the following day.

NASCAR by the Numbers

5th

Finishing position for Bubba Wallace Sunday at Pocono, the first top-5 finish (and top 10) for Michael Jordan’s 23XI Racing in its short history.

5

Straight top-15 finishes for Daniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing, allowing Suarez to close within 48 points of the final playoff spot. By comparison, Suarez went without a single top-15 result in a full season for Gaunt Brothers Racing last year.

Playing the Odds (Fantasy Spin)

Top Tier

It’s going to be impossible to squeeze Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. into one daily fantasy lineup. These three are so head-and-shoulders above the pack you need two of them on your list to cash in.

Related: Best Road America Drivers for DraftKings

Personally, I like Elliott and Larson. Despite limited Road America experience for both, they’ve won the last two road course races between them. Larson remains red hot despite a Pocono bump in the road while Elliott is eager to tack on more wins (and playoff points) before the postseason begins in September.

Middle Tier

Here’s where it gets interesting. Christopher Bell has struggled since a win at the Daytona road course back in February. Could Road America spark a turnaround? He won an Xfinity Series race here back in 2019, before a full-time transition to Cup and has the experience to be successful.

Kurt Busch has a fourth and sixth-place finish among his three road course starts this season. Road America offers an opportunity to keep the momentum rolling while auditioning for a 2022 ride after the Chip Ganassi sale to Trackhouse Racing. Remember, Busch has won a race for seven straight seasons and these new tracks are the type of scenario where the 2004 Cup champion can surprise.

Lower Tier

Cole Custer has had an absolute disaster of a sophomore season with Stewart-Haas Racing. But past history at Road America (three top-10 finishes in three NXS starts) leaves some hope for a season-best performance. No one’s thinking of Custer as a road course expert, making him a sneaky pick for the back end of your roster.

AJ Allmendinger and Austin Cindric are road course ringers from NXS that are fairly obvious picks. Allmendinger has an average finish of 6.0 in two Cup starts this year, running a season-best fifth his last time out at Circuit of the Americas. Cindric was impressive in that same COTA event, leading four laps early from his third starting spot. The reigning NXS champ is due for his first top-10 finish in a Cup car.

What Vegas Thinks

Chase Elliott leads the way with 9/4 odds to win Road America according to vegasinsider.com. Kyle Larson is a close second, sitting at 3/1 with Martin Truex Jr. third at 7/1. Those drivers are far ahead of the rest of the field.

Michael McDowell, a former Road America winner in NXS, is sitting at 66/1 if you’re looking for a Cinderella story.

What I Think

I’ll go with Chase Elliott to get back to his winning ways on road courses, fending off AJ Allmendinger for his second victory of the season.

Henry 180 NASCAR Cup Series Race Free Online Live Streaming ,August 03,Saturday 2021

 Henry 180 NASCAR Cup Series Race online free live streaming 2021 high quality(HD) broadcast on Sunday ,August 03, Track: Road America, Time: 2:30 p.m. ET. Watch Henry 180 NASCAR Cup Series Race free live stream online Race on any device .You can follow to Watch Henry 180 NASCAR Cup Series Race free live streaming from here details below.

In compiling a series-best four NASCAR Xfinity victories so far this season, Austin Cindric has won on four distinctly different tracks — the Daytona superspeedway; the flat, one-mile asphalt Phoenix; the high-banked, one-mile concrete at Dover; and the 2.5-mile triangular Pocono, with its three distinct corners.

A surprising absence from Cindric’s resume this year is a road course win — given that road course racing generally is acknowledged as his forte. But the driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford hopes to correct that omission in Saturday’s Henry 180 at Road America (2:30 p.m. ET on NBC/NBC Sports App, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

The defending winner of last year’s Xfinity Series race at the 4.048-mile circuit, Cindric also will race in the Cup event there on Sunday.

“It’s just a classic race track,” Cindric says. “There’s no two ways about it. I’m excited for this weekend, mainly because Road America always pulls a great crowd. It’s a great atmosphere.

“It’s Fourth of July weekend, and I feel like there’s a really passionate short-track racing fan base in that part of the country, and that part of the country hasn’t had a Cup race in I don’t know how long. So I’m excited to see the turnout. It should be a really fun weekend.”

Cindric will face stiff competition if he hopes to go back-to-back at Road America. Road course ace AJ Allmendinger and JR Motorsports’ Justin Allgaier are Xfinity Series regulars who have won at the track.

In addition, NASCAR Cup Series stars Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick are competing in the lower series to get additional track time. Busch won his 100th Xfinity Series race June 19 at Nashville Superspeedway, extending his own series record.

“Being able to come to a new track — when everything was announced that we were coming here — I wanted to run there as much as I could,” says Busch, who has never raced at Road America. “We were able to work it out so both myself and Ty (Gibbs) can run here, as well, so I think it’s beneficial for both of us. 

“He loves road racing, too. It was kind of a perfect scenario — being able to get in the Xfinity Series and be able to practice in both of those races. I’m hoping it will be a really good weekend for us.”

Gibbs has posted seven top fives in eight starts in a part-time role this year. He won at the Daytona Road Course in his first start in the series and picked up a second victory on the Charlotte oval. Because both Gibbs and Busch are competing in the Xfinity race, Gibbs will drive the No. 81 Toyota instead of the No. 54, which Busch will drive.
