2023 NASCAR Crayon 301 at New Hampshire – Full Race Results

Martin Truex Jr has dominated several races at New Hampshire, but something always prevented him from getting to victory lane. Today he broke through in typical dominating fashion, leading 254 of the 301 laps on his way to the checkered flag. Truex had been the driver with the most laps led without a race win, but that is no longer the case, as he earned his third victory of the season after going winless last year. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started on the front row, swept both stages, and was clearly the driver to beat on Monday.

Joey Logano made his way to the front of the field but he was no match for Truex today and had to settle for a runner-up finish. Kyle Larson followed in 3rd while Kevin Harvick scored a 4th place finish in his final start at New Hampshire. Brad Keselowski rounded out the top-five on Monday as RFK Racing continues to show strong signs of improvement. The rest of the top-ten finishing order was Tyler Reddick, Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace, Austin Dillon, and Chase Briscoe.

Erik Jones collected a much-needed 11th place finish for the struggling Legacy Motor Club. Chase Elliott finished 12th as he tries to point his way into the Playoffs. Michael McDowell, Alex Bowman, and Chris Buescher all earned top 15 results. Ryan Blaney saw his good day go south after he ran over a hose on his final pit stop and had to serve a penalty. The Team Penske driver finished 22nd today, just ahead of Ross Chastain, William Byron, and teammate Austin Cindric.

Pole sitter Christopher Bell had a roller coaster day, driving through the field after going to the back for pit road issues and a penalty. After a runner-up finish and a race win last year, Bell finished 29th after smacking the outside wall in the final laps of the race while running in 8th. It was a mixed bag of results for JGR, but another race win prevented another driver from claiming one of the few remaining Playoff spots.

It was a dreadful weekend for Kyle Busch, who consistently found the outside wall at New Hampshire. The RCR driver broke the right-rear toe link in practice, spun and crashed during qualifying, then did it again at the end of Stage 1 today. It was the second time in the last four races here that he finished last. Aric Almirola got the ultimate gut punch, when he crashed from the lead after a restart halfway into the race. The Stewart Haas Racing driver had been running inside the top-five all weekend and was hoping to get his second win at the track.
