LOUDON, N.H. -- Ty Gibbs, Brandon Jones and Trevor Bayne will seek to deliver a seventh consecutive win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for Joe Gibbs Racing on Saturday (2:30 p.m. ET on USA Network).
Among those who will challenge Gibbs will be JR Motorsports, which was has won five of the last nine races, and Richard Childress Racing, which won last weekend’s race with Austin Hill. Should a JRM or RCR car win - or any Chevrolet car - it would mark Chevrolet’s first Xfinity win at this track since 2007.
Josh Berry will be among the drivers to watch. The JR Motorsports driver finished third at Road America and placed second last week at Atlanta. Teammate Justin Allgaier has finished third and second in the last two Xfinity races at New Hampshire. Also keep an eye on points leader AJ Allmendinger, who has 15 top-10 finishes in the first 17 races of the season.
