Loudon — After winning yesterday’s XFINITY series race, many expected Kyle Bush to be a dominate figure in Sunday’s New Hampshire 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. After qualifying 2nd Bush struggled throwout the day and would end up finishing 8th overall. Despite Bush’s poor performance, it still turned out to be a winning day for Joe Gibbs Racing, as teammate Matt Kenneth managed to pull his Dollar General Toyota into victory lane. Below are the official results and highlights from Sunday’s race.

After a weird situation in Kentucky last weekend, with a late penalty leading to a h-place finish, Truex came back and looked better than ever at New Hampshire.
