Fox News
Aric Almirola won the darkness-shortened Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway after a rain delay.
The victory was a needed boost for Ford and played havoc with the playoff field with only four races left before the 16-driver field is set. The race was delayed nearly two hours by rain and NASCAR called it early due to darkness, leaving it eight laps shy of its scheduled conclusion. New Hampshire was scheduled for 301 laps and 318.46 miles. Almirola, who entered 27th in the points standings, raced to his third career Cup victory and first since 2018 and was the first driver out of the SHR pack that includes Kevin Harvick, Cole Custer and Chase Briscoe to take the checkered flag. Almirola had only two top 10s this season.More Related News
