Will there be a first-time winner for the third consecutive week?
Michael McDowell won the Daytona 500 for his first career victory. Christopher Bell followed by scoring his first career Cup win last weekend on the Daytona road course. The Cup Series heads to Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend with that streak on the line.
Last year’s winner in Miami was Denny Hamlin. No driver has scored their first career Cup win at this 1.5-mile speedway. Will that change?
