New Hampshire can be a tricky track to manage. No one is more aware of that this weekend than the Chase for the Sprint Cup contenders.
For some, this could be a make-or-break race. For others, gliding safely through New Hampshire could be the key to advancing to the Round of 12.
After the season's third race, at Dover, the field will slim by four drivers. No one wants to be in one of those bottom spots heading into that Oct. 2 race. However, some are already deeper in the standings than they would like.
A win, of course, would alleviate that and put a driver into the next round.
