2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series - Foxwoods Resort Casino 301

Last Saturday, it was the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Come Sunday, it was the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 race of the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series where all of the action at the Granite State comes unfolded lap after lap after lap.

As the action at New Hampshire kicked off, there's plenty of door banging on the first stage with Daniel Suarez swaying through the side of Ricky Stenhouse Jr. while Brad Keselowski slid through Clint Bowyer. Kyle Busch won Stage 1 but Daniel Suarez wants to make it to the Playoffs. In Stage 2, Suarez and Daniel Hemric got involved in a collision while Chase Elliot's car had no water pressure and was sent into pits. and then there's the collision between Stenhouse Jr. and Erik Jones which triggered a much crowded restart. As Aric Almirola won Stage 2, more action to come and Kyle Busch's feeling the pinch, Kyle Larson got knocked out by the wall, and the climax to remember.

After a climactic close-quarter fight, Kevin Harvick managed to fend off Denny Hamlin and win the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301.

Next race is at Pocono Raceway for the Gander RV 400 on the 28th of July.
