NASCAR: New Hampshire results, standings – Brad Keselowski wins
By Asher Fair
Brad Keselowski secured his third victory of the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301.
For several weeks, the only drivers who had won more than two races in the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season were Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin and Stewart-Haas Racing’s Kevin Harvick. Hamlin has won five races this year while Harvick has won four.
Team Penske’s Brad Keselowski changed that at New Hampshire Motor Speedway with a victory in the Foxwoods Resort Casino 301.
This win was Keselowski’s third of the year, but it was the first which he did not “steal” in the final few laps, as the driver of the #2 Ford led 184 of the 301 laps around the four-turn, 1.058-mile (1.703-kilometer) oval in Loudon, New Hampshire in a race that featured 22 lead changes among seven different leaders.

His previous wins came at Charlotte Motor Speedway at Bristol Motor Speedway back in late May, when he was effectively in the right place at the right time.
He led the final five laps at Charlotte Motor Speedway after race leader Chase Elliott came into the pits during a late caution flag period with just over two laps remaining (before overtime), and he led the final three laps at Bristol Motor Speedway after Elliott and race leader Joey Logano were involved in a wreck with just over three laps remaining.
Here are the full race results of the 2020 Foxwoods Resort Casino 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
