New Hampshire Motor Speedway appears to be a House of Hendrick, at least according to NASCAR’s driver rating at the track.
New Hampshire: Hendrick Drivers Dominate Rating
Four of the top six drivers are employed by Hendrick Motorsports, including Jeff Gordon (No. 2), Jimmie Johnson (No. 3), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (No. 5) and Mark Martin (No. 6).
And the top driver, Tony Stewart, uses Hendrick equipment.
So if there’s any chance for Hendrick to continue what it started in Sonoma and break the recent streak of Joe Gibbs Racing success, New Hampshire would be the place.
Here’s how all the drivers stack up in New England this weekend:
