In his track début at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the UNOH 175, the 500th race of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Spencer Gallagher and his No. 23 GMS Racing team ran into some rear gear issues that ended their day with a 28th-place finish.
Earlier in the day, Gallagher posted the second fastest lap in the last practice, then qualified to start the race from the seventh position. From the drop of the green flag, Gallagher fought an extremely tight balance in the center and exit off the flat corners of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. After making aggressive adjustments, the No. 23 returned to the track to begin his work back toward the top-15, with improved balance on his car. Continue reading →

Kevin Harvick clarified his championship status on Sunday—but not the way he had planned.
After dominating the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for most of the afternoon, Harvick ran out of fuel while leading on lap 298 of 300, handing the top spot and the victory to Matt Kenseth, who joined teammate Denny Hamlin as an automatic qualifier for the Contender Round of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
Despite leading 216 laps on Sunday, Harvick, the defending series champion, heads to next Sunday’s Chase race at Dover almost certainly needing a victory at a track where he has never won, to escape the Challenger Round of the Chase and keep his title hopes alive.
Kenseth, who came to pit road for fuel and tires on lap 239, triumphed for the fifth time this season (tops in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series), for the second time at the Magic Mile and for the 36th time in his career. He finished 8.941 seconds ahead of Hamlin, who nursed his car to a runner-up finish despite a late-race issue with the right front wheel. Continue reading →
Gordon Set to Become NASCAR’s All-Time Consecutive Starts Leader

NASCAR’s new Iron Man has not missed a start since making his series debut at Atlanta on Nov. 15, 1992 – a span of 22 years, 10 months and 12 days. Continue reading →

Ryan Blaney would not be denied Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway.
In fact, Blaney may owe a pushing Regan Smith dinner after a green-white-checkered restart became the saving grace for the driver of the No. 22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang, who won his second NASCAR XFINITY Series win of the season in Saturday night’s VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300.
Blaney was heading toward Victory Lane, but an attack from Ty Dillon on a restart with eight laps to go sent him from first to third.
Then, a caution waved with four laps remaining and reset the field into overtime. Continue reading →
