Denny Hamlin got one back after losing last week to Harvick. He had the dominant car for most of the race and was able to cross the stripe first, with his Gibbs teammates finishing P2 and P3 behind him. Hamlin passed Erik Jones late in the race and was able to save enough fuel to last through the overtime win. This is the first time we have seen a fuel mileage race play out with this lower horsepower package. Drivers and Crew Chief's weren't sure how much fuel they could save, if any, with this package. But, Hamlin and several other drivers were able to stretch it out to the end thanks to the drivers slowing the pace and a late race caution.

Our leader has stacked up two wins back to back to take an early lead in our standings. We'll head to Watkins Glen this week for some road course action!

Next Race: Watkins Glen on August 4th!

For the first time in 2019, Kevin Harvick grabs the checkered flag. He held off Denny Hamlin in a last lap battle for the win at New Hampshire. Harvick is now the most winning among active drivers at the track. Harvick stayed out on older tires, but when Hamlin pulled up beside him on the last lap, Harvick turned the wheel and rubbed sheet metal with Hamlin and gave him enough of an edge to hold him off at the stripe. 

This was another great finish to start our second half. Back-to-back last lap battles could help build some momentum in the sport. Let's see how the boys do with the lower horsepower package going to Pocono next week.

Next Race: Pocono on July 28th!

Kurt Busch got denied last week at Daytona due to an unfortunate pit call and lighting strikes in the area. He came back this week and beat his little brother in a two lap overtime sprint to the checkered flag. Kurt and Kyle pushed each other around a little, but avoided wrecking each other at the end.This is Kurt's first win of the season, and the first win with his new team at Ganassi Racing. This is the first time that the brothers have finished 1-2.

This race was a great start to the 2nd part of the season. Let's see what New Hampshire brings next week!
