Storylines for the day:
Red Hot to White Hot at New Hampshire
It's a good time to be Stewart Haas Racing.
Tony Stewart just nabbed his first win. Ryan Newman finished eighth to move up a spot in the standings. And now, the series heads to New Hampshire, where the two drivers started and finished 1-2.
Spoiler Alert: Non-Chasers Excel at NHMS after Monday's race at Chicagoland, it seems doubtful that any driver will surprise and steal a win from a championship contender. The top six and eight of the top 10 at Chicago were Chase drivers.
Still, here are the last four winners of the New Hampshire Chase race: Clint Bowyer, Mark Martin, Greg Biffle and Bowyer again. None are Chase drivers.
Chasers Look to Shrug Off First-Race Jitters Though the top six finishers at Chicagoland were all Chase drivers, there were a number of Chase competitors who struggled.
Four Chase drivers finished outside the top 20: Matt Kenseth (21st), Kyle Busch (22nd), Jeff Gordon (24th) and Denny Hamlin (31st).
Kenseth and Busch, with post-race Driver Ratings of 114.2 and 95.0, performed much better than their finish would suggest. They were victims of an empty gas tank, and their finish suffered for it. Kenseth had a double-whammy. Post-race, he was dropped to 21st after officials determined JJ Yeley pushed him on the final lap - NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rule Book infraction.
But Gordon and Hamlin each had rough go throughout. Gordon's Driver Rating was 63.6; Hamlin's was 52.3.

A limited number of tickets remain for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series SYLVANIA 300. Fans are encouraged to call the New Hampshire Motor Speedway ticket hotline at (603) 783-4931 for more information or on the web at www.nhms.com.
