Ryan Blaney Wins Second Consecutive NASCAR Cup Race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway

On Sunday, August 23, 2026, Ryan Blaney, driver of the #12 Menards/Dutch Boy Ford, won the NASCAR Cup Series Dollar Tree 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for his second consecutive victory at the track.
A loose lug nut during a pit stop under caution with 111 laps remaining dropped Blaney to 17th place. Crew chief Jonathan Hassler's aggressive strategy call for two right-side tires helped him charge back to the front.
The Team Penske driver led a race-high 115 of 301 laps and fended off runner-up Bubba Wallace by 0.586 seconds. This marks Blaney's 20th career victory and third win of the 2026 season.
Mechanical failure ended Ross Chastain's Chase hopes as his Chevrolet suffered a problem after 40 laps. Ryan Preece finished ninth, gaining 19 points on Shane van Gisbergen to keep his Chase hopes alive.
Daytona International Speedway will host the 160-lap regular season finale on Saturday, August 29, setting the 16-driver field for the Chase. The race concludes the regular season before the 10-race playoff run begins.
