Ryan Blaney wins Dollar Tree 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

Ryan Blaney secured his second consecutive victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, winning the Dollar Tree 301. Driving for Team Penske, Blaney utilized a quick pit stop involving two tires to overcome Bubba Wallace, who finished second after taking four tires. Josh Berry completed the top three, while Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson rounded out the top five.

Denny Hamlin clinched the regular-season championship with a 77-point lead over Blaney. The race also served as a significant test for NASCAR’s relatively new wet-weather procedures. Due to rain, the field started on Goodyear wet-weather tires before transitioning to slick tires as the track dried. NASCAR Managing Director Brad Moran described the implementation of these procedures on an oval track as a success, noting that the series continues to refine its approach to wet-weather racing.
