Hamlin Beats Gordon In New Hampshire

Denny Hamlin made the most out of the two tire change on the last pit stop to record his first and very deserving victory of the year in New Hampshire. Jeff Gordon made it very interesting on the last lap as he and Hamlin made contact out of turn four to finish within less than a car length at the checkered flag. The COT may not be the prettiest car you have ever seen, but all the races have had very close finishes. I guess this is what NASCAR had in mind when they developed it and it seems to be what they expected.

As usual, the pole sitting Toyota of Dave Blaney went backwards from the drop of the green flag, and Chevy finishes with eight of the top ten positions. I know there is allot of racing left this season, but the other manufactures better get their cars together or Chevrolet is going to make a joke of this season. Congrats to Toyota on the pole position, but many of their cars still could not qualify to race which is a sad commentary for the worlds largest car maker. What is the answer to fielding competitive cars? Better drivers? Better crew chiefs? More money? God knows they spend more money than any other maker. As a race fan I hope they can figure it out, not only in NASCAR but in F1 also. But congrats to Denny Hamlin on the win and lets see what happens next week in Daytona!
