New Hampshire Race Notes
Carl Edwards won the pole, selected the top lane and led the opening 19 laps.
On lap 20 Kevin Harvick passed Carl Edwards for the lead. He then went on to lead the next 18 laps until the first caution came out. Kevin Harvick’s car was really good at running a little higher than others in the corners which allowed him to get good runs down the straightaway.
Running order on lap 20: 4,19,41,2,48,22,88,11,42,20 … 18,24,5,31,43,17,3,13,55,27 … 78,1,14,10,15,51,16,9,6,47
Jimmie Johnson’s team felt really good about their car. He was running in 5th on lap 22.
Big Moment: On lap 36 Aric Almirola got into the wall hard and brought out the caution. He was running in 16th at the time. He had a tire go down. This led to him finishing last.
When the race went back to green Kevin Harvick resumed the lead and led the next 81 laps.
Running order on lap 45: 4,2,41,11,48,88,19,20,18,5 … 24,22,42,17,31,1,14,55,78,13 … 51,27,15,16,10,6,9,47,35,7

Running order on lap 60: 4,2,41,11,48,88,18,20,19,22 … 5,24,31,78,14,1,42,51,15,10

Jamie McMurray’s team struggled. He didn’t really like his car. They missed the setup. Larson’s setup didn’t help him any either. He was in 18th on lap 94.
Running order on lap 106: 4,2,48,88,41,20,11,18,22,19 … 78,31,10,5,42,24,51,1,13,15 … 16,27,55,17,3,14,47,6,9,7
