New Hampshire Fantasy NASCAR Front Runner Rankings

Alex Bowman – Alex Bowman will be a driver to watch at New Hampshire. His overall average finish is 27.7, but I wouldn’t read into that at all. I would just focus on his three New Hampshire races in the #88. Last year, Bowman had a solid race. He started 8th and finished 11th. He was back around mid-pack for a good portion of the race, but he rallied towards the front at the end. In 2016, Bowman drove the #88 in place of an injured Dale Earnhardt Jr. in both races. In fall 2016 he finished 14th, had a 13th place average running position and earned the 13th best driver rating. In summer 2016 he finished a misleading 26th, but he was pretty competitive. Unfortunately his race wasn’t incident free. With 28 laps to go while running in 8th he was involved in a wreck. On Sunday, I would look for Bowman to compete for a top ten.

Erik Jones – At New Hampshire, I would look for Erik Jones to be a top ten contender. Last year he didn’t have a race to brag about and the number you need to know about him is 16. He finished 16th, had a 16th place average running position and earned the 16th best driver rating. It was just a mediocre day. In fall 2017 at New Hampshire, Jones had a strong performance and ran well throughout the race. When the checkered flag waved he finished 6th, had a 5th place average running position and earned the 5th best driver rating. Additionally he finished 6th in Stage #1 and 2nd in Stage #2. With 52 laps to go he was running in 2nd. In summer 2017, Jones showed potential but finished dead last. Up until his problems on lap 42 it looked like he had top ten potential.

William Byron – William Byron is a solid performer at shorter-flat tracks who should have a good performance at New Hampshire. In 5 of his 7 races on this track type in his career he’s finished between 9th to 14th. Richmond is the most recent shorter-flat visited and he finished 13th there this spring. When you factor in the #24 teams uptick in performance in recent races then its fair to set high expectations. On Sunday, I’m going to play it safe and view him as a low double-digits driver who’ll compete for a top ten. Last year, William Byron was a mid-teens performer in his debut. He finished 14th, earned the 14th best driver rating and had a 16th place average running position.
