After posting a 22nd-place finish last weekend at Daytona Int'l Speedway, Eric McClure and the Hefty®/Reynolds Wrap® team headed north to the Magic Mile to compete inSaturday's Sta-Green 200. Qualifying 25th, McClure battled a tight-handling car throughout the majority of the 200-lap event to post a 26th-place finish. With this finish, McClure sits 19th in the NASCAR Driver Point Standings.
The win is Ford’s fourth straight, marking the first time Ford has won four consecutive Cup Series races since 2001 (Dale Jarrett, Darlington on March 18; Elliott Sadler, Bristol on March 25; Jarrett, Texas on April 1; Jarrett, Martinsville on April 8)
Team Chevy’s Kyle Larson was looking for his first career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday, but fell just shy of claiming that win and had to settle for a third-place finish. The scheduled 301-lap race was extended to 305 laps when the caution flag waived on lap 298. This set up a green-white-checkered finish; and several drivers ran out of fuel, which jumbled-up the finishing order.
JEFF GORDON, NO., 24 DRIVE TO END HUNGER CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 26TH - ON RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE FINAL GREEN-WHITE-CHECKERED “The whole race for us was just so up and down and crazy. There at the beginning, we had a leak in the right rear and went a lap down. I could barely hold onto it. I didn’t know what was wrong with it. I just knew it was really hard to drive"

In his second-career NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) start at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Kyle Larson and his Turner Scott Motorsports (TSM) team continued to be a powerhouse duo among the field, leading 11 laps on the way to claiming a fourth-place finish at the Magic Mile. Coming into the weekend with one previous NNS start, along with one NASCAR K&N Pro Series East victory in 2012, Larson's speed was undeniable as he laid down the second-fastest lap time during the first practice session, followed by the fourth fastest in the final session.
