-Shell-Pennzoil Dodge Driver Hoping For More Success On Flat 1.058-Mile New Hampshire Track-
LOUDON, N.H. (Sept. 20, 2011) – Shell-Pennzoil Dodge driver Kurt Busch is really looking forward to this weekend’s SYLVANIA 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. With a career record that sports three wins, seven top-five finishes and 11 top 10s, it’s easy to understand the 2004 NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion’s fondness of the flat 1.058-mile track.
“With all the intermediate sized tracks we go to during the Chase, it’ll definitely be a nice change of scenery to get back to Loudon this weekend,” offered Busch, who heads into Sunday’s second of 10 Chase races ranked fourth in the series’ point standings. “The way that you have to slide a car around on a flat track like Loudon requires a loose setup and that’s the way I like to set my cars up.

It appeared as though his campaign was in trouble, but Clinton rallied in the New Hampshire Primary one week later as he finished a solid second behind Tsongas despite trailing by a large margin in most polls leading up to Election Day. (more…)

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. (Sept. 21, 2011) – Almost perfection. That’s how Ryan Newman and his No. 39 Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) team would describe their dominating performance at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon just 10 weeks ago.
For the South Bend, Ind., native and everyone else at SHR, there’s no doubt it was a magical weekend at the track known as The Magic Mile. After earning the pole position in qualifying on Friday afternoon, Newman went wire to wire – driving from his No. 1 starting spot to victory lane – for his 15th Sprint Cup win, his third at New Hampshire and his first in 2011.
