Last week at Bristol was a bit of everything as tires were key, but so was strategy as Christopher Bell wound up with the victory and a very nice Charlie Kirk shoutout. Up next we go to a place Bell won at last year and could easily make it back-to-back wins, New Hampshire. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
