Kasey Kahne spoiled Denny Hamlin’s heroic drive through the field and held on to win Sunday’s Lenox Industrial Tools 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, all but securing a spot in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup with his second victory of the season.
Kahne led the final 66 laps, as fast-closing Hamlin ran out of time after starting deep in the field on a restart on Lap 240. Hamlin had dominated the race, but a miscommunication on pit strategy cost him track position in the late going, and Hamlin ran out of time after securing the runner-up spot.
Clint Bowyer ran third, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Brad Keselowski. Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle and Ryan Newman completed the top 10. (more…)
Hattori Racing Enterprises driver, Brett Moffitt won the pole, and led start to finish to win the Samuel 150 at CNB Bank Raceway Park in Clearfield, PA on Saturday, July 14, 2012.
The 19-year old Moffitt also scored his 3rd 21 Means 21 Pole Award of the season in the #11 Don Valley North Toyota Camry with a time 17.880. His lap outpaced the field one tenth of a second.
“The car was decent in practice,” Moffitt said. “We worked hard on getting the car right on old tires. We weren’t the fastest in practice, but I knew the car had to handle on worn out rubber.” (more…)
