Kyle Busch’s mid-season march toward a post-season berth continued Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway with his third victory in the last four races. The win lifted him from thirty-fifth to thirty-third in the point standings with seven races left in the regular season. With three wins to his credit, all Busch needs to do now in order to secure a spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is finish among the top thirty in the regular-season standings. He trails thirtieth-place David Gilliland by fifty-eight points heading into the next race next weekend at Indianapolis. Busch led ninety-five laps Sunday, including the final forty-nine trips around the one-mile oval. Brad Keselowski finished second followed by championship points leader Kevin Harvick.
If you include the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race in mid-May, Joe Gibbs Racing has now won five of the last nine Cup Series events.
Denny Hamlin won Saturday’s X-Finity Series race after bumping Austin Dillon out of his way following a late restart. It was one of several incidents involving Hamlin during the race.
