Ryan Blaney returns to New Hampshire Motor Speedway as the defending winner in the NASCAR Cup Series. Last year, he led for 116 of 301 laps to claim victory, fending off competitor Josh Berry. The event saw Team Penske dominate, with Blaney and teammate Joey Logano both leading significant portions of the race. Blaney's performance is bolstered by a recent victory at EchoPark Speedway, while Logano seeks to build on his recent win at the Cook Out 400.
