NELCAR: New Look, Same Result For Shawn Buffington at NHMS

On By

Story by Evan Beaulieu
The Amsoil Nelcar Legends Tour returned to the New Hampshire Motor Speedway this past weekend as part of the Nascar Sprint Cup Series Sylvania 300 weekend. The Legends Cars closed out an exciting “Short Track Saturday” at the “Magic Mile.” The sun was setting but the Legends were on track for a thrilling event.

At the front of the field for the feature event was the usual suspect, Shawn Buffington in the new white 23s with Taylor Martin in the 20 on his outside. On the start, Buffington was able to get to the lead but when the field came back around to complete lap one, the 39 of Nick Lascoula and the 33 of Alan Smith made contact racing for fourth, and collected the 59 of Reid Lanpher. Lanpher went for a wild ride, barrel rolling three times before coming to a rest just before turn one. Lanpher was able to walk away from the scary incident, and once proved how safe the Legends Cars are.

One Race Elevates Keselowski From Contender To Favorite

On By

Brad Keselowski may be the least-experienced driver in this year’s Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup™. And last Sunday’s GEICO 400, which Keselowski won, was only the first of 10 rounds of the post season.

But make no mistake. How he won – and whom he defeated, five-time champion Jimmie Johnson – elevated the 28-year-old Michigan native from title contender to a favorite’s role.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Press Conference at NHMS

On By

ON HIS OUTLOOK FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE: “I was a little bit disappointed with finishing eighth last week (at Chicagoland). We’re going to need a little bit more than that to win the championship. This is a track that I feel like owes me one. We’ve been running here for a long time. We’ve had some good cars here, and we’ve had some cars capable of winning races. We just haven’t been able to finish the job. So, I kind of feel like it’s got to happen sooner or later, and I feel like that it needs to happen now. There’s a bit of urgency. Not a whole lot, just enough to keep us motivated and real positive. I feel pretty positive. I mean, this is a good race track. When we came here (for the July, 2012 race), I was without my main engineer (Kevin Meendering), who was having a child that weekend. We joke about it. Even though he was at home and trying to participate, it’s just not the ideal situation. That was something totally unavoidable, and we were happy for his situation at the time. We have him here this weekend. I’m really to attack, and go work on the car in practice. Try to find a great balance. We had a real good car when we tested here, quite a few months ago. But, still, I know what the possibilities and the chances of us having a good run, and winning the race here. I feel like we are really close. Hopefully we can hit on a few things in practice, and really get the car moving.”
