The Magic Mile provided NASCAR fans with the thrills of short track racing. Check out a few winners and losers from the New Hampshire 301.


After a nine-week break from short track racing, NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series returned to the Magic Mile for a race with a few different storylines.

There was the dominance from Joe Gibbs Racing, that had come back after taking a slight break in the past few weekends.

Then there was obvious problems with the attendance as NASCAR took another big hit in their quest to fill the stands, with maybe half of the bleachers filled when the race went green.

Finally, there was Matt Kenseth, the winner of the race, failing post-race inspection and Tony Stewart, the runner-up, passing.

It was obviously an afternoon of interesting subjects, but after all was said and done, Kenseth captured his second win of the season and now looks poised for a deep run in the Chase this season.

Take a look at a few winners and losers from Sunday’s race.
