The Crayon 301 race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway proved to be a game-changer for NASCAR’s Cup Series standings. With Kyle Busch facing an early wipeout in stage one, Martin Truex Jr’s stellar performance led him to victory and the coveted top spot in the championship standings, dethroning William Byron of Hendrick Motorsports.
Truex Jr’s commanding victory may have seemed effortless, but the #19 Joe Gibbs Racing driver revealed that he faced some challenges during the race, causing moments of doubt about his own performance.
The Race:
Starting in second place behind JGR teammate Christopher Bell, Truex Jr quickly surged ahead during the initial laps of stage one, securing the lead. Dominating both stage one and stage two, the #19 JGR driver was determined to claim New Hampshire’s traditional lobster prize. Despite falling back momentarily after a pit stop in the final stage, Truex Jr swiftly worked his way back to the front of the pack.

Throughout the race, Truex Jr exhibited remarkable finesse, leading for an impressive 254 laps out of the scheduled 301. Even his crew chief, Drew Herring, was amazed at the distance Truex Jr created between his car and the second-place driver. However, despite his extraordinary performance, Truex Jr expressed concerns about his consistency over the team radio, citing a loose car.
A Triumph after Years of Drought:
Truex Jr’s victory at New Hampshire marked the beginning of a new era for the #19 JGR driver. Competing in the Cup Series for over 19 years, Truex Jr had previously struggled at Loudon’s oval, going 17 years without a win at the track. His triumph in the 2023 Crayon 301 finally put an end to this long-standing drought and added to his impressive record of 34 Cup Series wins on various NASCAR circuits.
Post-Race Reflection:
In a post-race interview, Martin Truex Jr expressed his elation, acknowledging the challenges he faced during the race. He spoke about the team’s perseverance and determination, which ultimately led to their well-deserved victory and the satisfaction of finally taking home the lobster trophy.

Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate: Elon Musk voiced out on Assassination Attempts on Donald Trump, 50cent Rant
Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate: Elon Musk voiced out on Assassination Attempts on Donald Trump, 50cent Rant
Donald Trump was attacked at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024. A barrage of gunfire set off panic, and a bloodied Trump, who said he was shot in the ear, was surrounded by Secret Service and hurried to his SUV as he pumped his fist in a show of defiance
Trump’s campaign said the presumptive GOP nominee was doing “fine” after the shooting. The shooter was identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, who attacked from an elevated position outside the rally venue.
Secret Service agents fatally shot Crooks, One attendee was killed and two spectators were critically injured. All were identified as men. The attack was the most serious attempt to assassinate a president or presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981
The attack drew new attention to concerns about political violence in a deeply polarized U.S. less than four months before the presidential election
President Joe Biden, who is running against Trump, was briefed on the incident and spoke to Trump several hours after the shooting. Many Republicans quickly blamed the violence on Biden and his allies, arguing that sustained attacks on Trump as a threat to democracy have created a toxic environment.
Elon Musk twitted to condemn the action
Extreme incompetence or it was deliberate. Either way, the SS leadership must resign. https://t.co/0vYGrj6yuH

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Ended Up on the Wrong Side of the Law, charged with making trouble with two policemen
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Ended Up on the Wrong Side of the Law, charged with making trouble with two policemen
NASCAR icon Dale Earnhardt Jr. and 2023 Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney were recently on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and talked about the Netflix special NASCAR: Full Speed among other things. During their conversation, Dale Jr. opened up about his traffic violations and revealed the interesting encounters that he had with 4 different police officers.
He took a trip down memory lane to remember how he got his first speeding ticket and quipped that he had received not one, but four tickets between the ages of 16 and 18. He told Clarkson, “I had a few issues in the first two years of having my license, from 16 to 18. I got four tickets, and the funny thing about it is, is that it was four different officers who told me they all gave my dad his first ticket, so I don’t know how that is possible.”
Dale Jr.’s father Dale Earnhardt was one of the biggest names in stock car racing since its advent in the 20th century. While it is natural for anyone to be known as having interacted with the legend, Dale Jr. can’t quite put a finger on how four different officers could have given him his first ticket. However, he did have a more important lesson to take away from the tickets he got
“I learned my lesson,” he affirmed. “I haven’t had any problems since then.” Dale Jr. is one of the executive producers of Full Speed. The docuseries has been very well received by drivers and fans since its premiere last month.

The instantaneous impact that Full Speed has been having on NASCAR
During the last race weekend, several drivers voiced their support for the Netflix docuseries and said that it was helping the sport generate new fans. One of the series main characters, Denny Hamlin said, “I thought it was a very good introduction for new fans. Because they also were kind of teaching you some 101 stuff, like, here’s how this works.”
Xfinity Series racer and Live Fast Motorsports co-owner B.J. McLeod compared it to the Hollywood hit Days of Thunder and mentioned that it had the best potential since the movie to attract new fans. He said, “It’s something that people should see, and I think that it was an unbelievable opportunity for NASCAR to have that on Netflix.”
The docuseries chronicled the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series playoff run and featured others including Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, William Byron, Ross Chastain, and Dale Jr., himself.
