Toyota-led surge eyed at New Hampshire speedway race
The article notes Toyotas’ strong history at New Hampshire Motor Speedway with six wins in eight Cup races and Matt Kenseth driving the No. 20 for Gibbs Racing after two straight wins there. It highlights Hendrick Motorsports’ drought of 22 races without a win, though three Hendrick cars finished in the top 10 at Chicagoland. The NASCAR Chase format means a single win can vault a driver into the next round, though past openings by Keselowski and Hamlin show postseason outcomes aren’t guaranteed.
