A Night of Drama at New Hampshire
Layne Riggs seized a dramatic overtime victory in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, holding off a late charge from Connor Zilisch and Chandler Smith after a multi‑truck wreck sparked by Gio Ruggiero’s spin.
The race began with Riggs on pole, but the competition was fierce, and the incident forced a restart that saw the young driver lean on his team’s strategy and confidence to claim the checkered flag.
Weather Forces Early Start
Tyler Reddick posted the fastest qualifying time for the NASCAR Cup Series on Saturday afternoon, stamping his intent to capture a sixth win of the season in Sunday’s Dollar Tree 301.
A forecast of rain pushed officials to shift the Cup race start to 2 P.M., prompting teams to mount wet‑weather tires in anticipation of a slick Loudon track.
The adjustments added a layer of strategy to the weekend’s schedule, as crews balanced tire choice with the looming threat of precipitation, while fans gathered to witness a showdown that blended speed, skill, and unpredictable weather.
