Matt Kenseth won his 39th career NASCAR Sprint Cup race on Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Kenseth topped Tony Stewart, who finished 2nd. It was a calm race early but a chain of caution flags caused a lot of the front runners to fall out towards the end of the event in which Kenseth prevailed.
Kenseth's No. 20 team failed post-race Laser Inspection. The car will be taken back to NASCAR's R&D Center for further evaluation. We'll talk about the penalty Kenseth may recieve and whether or not it's stiff enough. Should NASCAR take the wins away from drivers?
Plus we'll give our weekly attaboys and disappointments from the weekend and discuss the racing at New Hampshire.
Also it was an alarming fact that New Hampshire Motor Speedway's crowd was significantly down over recent years. We'll discuss why we think that was and if that is concerning to the facility.
Also silly season is started to ramp up a bit. Rumors have Erik Jones moving to a 2nd car at Furniture Row Racing next season with 5-Hour Energy as sponsor. Also where does Ryan Newman end up? Not a lot of options out there for Newman, who is in the final year of his contract at RCR.
Jeff Gordon will drive the No. 88 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, if Dale Earnhardt Jr cannot race on Sunday at Indianapolis. Gordon, who announced his retirement from full-time competition starting in 2016, has not run a race all season. Should Hendrick Motorsports put Gordon in the car or should they give Alex Bowman, who ran very good at New Hampshire be given the opportunity?
