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.
