Kyle Busch picked up his third win of the season as he won the NASCAR 5-Hour ENERGY 301 at New Hampshire.
The push for a chance to compete for a Sprint Cup Championship for Kyle Busch is almost there. With no margin for error and needing great finishes, Kyle Busch won his third race in four outings Sunday at New Hampshire.
A week after outlasting Team Penske’s Joey Logano at Kentucky, he outlasted Team Penske’s Brad Keselowski at New Hampshire and added another moment to what could be a storied season — if it isn’t one already.
Heading into the race, Busch was comfortable where he was at two wins and moving up the points standings as he eyed the top-30 in points. However, a sense of urgency has overcome the No. 18 as he is proving to everyone that he is giving it his all as he tries to get there.
As Busch dominated and Brad Keselowski trailed, Kevin Harvick quietly finished fourth and put together a great run as he looks to successfully defend his Sprint Cup Championship. After New Hampshire, the players for the championship are becoming clear and the races are just beginning.
With Kyle Busch winning, here’s the complete finishing order for Sunday’s race at New Hampshire.
