Well folks, the NASCAR version of the playoffs is here. We are gearing up for a 10-week showdown that features a star-studded cast of drivers (unless your fans of Tony Stewart), and promises to be one of the greatest finales to a NASCAR season in its rich history.The first stop on the playoff rotation is New Hampshire International Speedway. NHIS is a challenging, flat 1.058 mile oval track. Four drivers in the Chase, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin, and Jeff Gordon average a top 13 finish at the track. Of all current drivers with 2 or more career starts at New Hampshire International Speedway, Ryan Newman has had the most success. In 8 starts, Ryan has an average finish of 8th.
