NASCAR predictions for New Hampshire Cup Series race: Here's who wins the USA TODAY 301

Mike Organ's pick: TBD

Tom Kreager's pick: Denny Hamlin, No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota

Denny Hamlin has had bad luck back-to-back weeks. That has to stop at some point. And New Hampshire is a place he's had success at, with three wins at the track.

Nick Gray's pick: Martin Truex Jr., No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota

It's time for Martin Truex Jr. to win in 2024. Truex won here last year and has a strong recent track record at New Hampshire before the 2023 victory. He's led 426 of 602 laps in the last two races at Loudon. And it's not just to take the pressure of winning off in the final two months of the regular season; Truex and the No. 19 team will be in the regular-season championship mix down the stretch with a run of good finishes.
