Brandon McReynolds reclaimed the lead in the final lap to win the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East Apple Barrel 125; Ankrum captures series championship.<\/em><\/p>\n

LOUDON, N.H. \u2013\u00a0A late caution and green\/white\/checkered finish gave back to Brandon McReynolds what Derek Kraus almost took away during the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East Apple Barrel 125 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a special place for me, but to come and execute means a lot,\u201d said McReynolds. \u201cTo have success at a track where my dad has had success is a special feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

McReynolds slipped past Kraus in the closing lap to win a race he largely dominated in the early circuits. Along with the No. 82 of Spencer Davis, this trio of drivers started and finished the K&N race in the top three.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was pretty wild,\u201d said McReynolds. \u201cDerek was hauling, but I just hung on. I didn\u2019t have any front tires left, so when he got to me I felt like my best bet was just to not let him go, but just hope we got the caution and we did. Luckily Riley got a better restart than any of us, which put us three wide. I\u2019m really impressed with Derek and these guys. They\u2019re a lot of fun to race with.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rounding out the top five were Riley Herbst in the No. 98 Terrible Herbst Toyota and Dillon Basset in the No. 44 Universal Technical Institute Chevrolet.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After a wire-to-wire victory in New Hampshire in July, Tyler Ankrum, driver of the No. 17 Modern Meat Company Toyota, clinched the series championship with his 13th<\/sup>\u00a0place finish today. Ankrum, who was strong all season long, with four wins and nine top five finishes in 13 races, just had to stay out of trouble to clinch the title in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cExciting is how I like to do it, but I\u2019ve had a blast all year,\u201d said Ankrum. \u201cTo wrap up a championship for a kid who was going to run a part-time schedule, we got it, that\u2019s all I can say. I knew all year we were really fast and the ones to beat, but it just hasn\u2019t sunk in yet, but I\u2019m super excited.\u201d<\/p>\n
