Kyle Busch Races To 3rd Win Of Year

However in NASCAR a couple of bad races can put a driver in a big hole quickly. Busch recorded his 32nd Sprint Cup victory and second on the Magic Mile.

Busch has seven races left to crack the top 30 before the Chase opens September 20 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Sandler met with the NASCAR drivers at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

NASCAR used lower downforce – which was specifically recommended by the drivers – last week at Kentucky and it produced perhaps the best racing of the season. “The [No.] 4 and [No.] 2 was the class of the field”.

The green flag is set to drop on the 5-Hour Energy 301 at about 12:45pm central time.

It took some time for Harvick to make up some of the lost ground.

NOTES: Reed Sorenson failed to make the 43-car field. The group we’ve developed and the relationship we’ve had over the years with my pit crew from 2008. “There’s no give up in this team”.

“Logano, David Ragan, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin round out the top five starting positions”. In fact, Busch can be more true to form, not having to worry as much about points racing. You lose your mind a little bit.

“I don’t have any fears of being able to close that gap”, Stevens said.

Stucker also said Goodyear will stick with the tires selected following a tire test in April at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for next weekend’s race at the Brickyard.

But Goodyear knew that change was coming months ago.

NASCAR hasnt said yet if any changes are in store for the race packages for the 10 race Chase. “I think this only adds to it”. “The same things we fought in practice were the same things we fought in the race”. So, well react as we need to.”.

Earnhardt is third in the standings behind Kevin Harvick and Joey Logano after Sunday’s race.

“Today we may not have been the best vehicle, we were early, but towards the end, I’m not sure that we were. We just need to find bigger gains to getting more speed”. At the same time, Allgaier was smoking as he went around the race track.

“I told Tony (Stewart) if he could promise me it would be rough and hooked-up, I’d run”, Larson said.

“You come out and you’re focused on the adjustments [we] made, trying not to run over any pedestrians or anything”, he pointed out.

Owner Joe Gibbs credited all four of his teams for working well together both on and off the track – despite a pair of on-track incidents between Busch and Hamlin during the Xfinity race – and pointed to his team’s recent success as proof.

New Hampshire’s Adam Sandler was in Loudon, New Hampshire, for the 5-hour Energy 301 Sunday. Unfortunately, he backed right into the path of the oncoming No. 15 Toyota of Clint Bowyer, who caved in the right rear quarter panel of Gordon’s vehicle. 87 points in eight races is about 11 points a race, a number that looks more than obtainable when Busch is winning at the rate he now is.

The race was relatively clean with only a few cautions and no major wrecks.

Gordon qualified 23rd for Sunday’s race and is still looking for his first win in what is his final, full season. “I feel like we can beat him”.

Kyle Busch is becoming unstoppable in ever ridiculous ways.

Most winners break out the butter and truly enjoy the taste of victory. Brad Keselowski took only two tires and restarted in second behind Busch.

“I tried to donate it back to the Boston Aquarium”. Kevin Harvick’s stronghold on the No. 1 spot is all but secure and will likely remain that way barring something unforeseen.
