Ryan Blaney turned a two-tire final stop into his third victory of the 2026 season and a second consecutive New Hampshire win. The No. 12 Team Penske Ford led a race-high 115 laps and beat Bubba Wallace by 0.586 seconds in the Dollar Tree 301.
Wallace charged from 23rd to second after taking four tires on the final stop, but a brake lockup with five laps remaining interrupted his last challenge. Josh Berry finished third after leading 73 laps, followed by Christopher Bell and Stage 1 winner Kyle Larson.
The 301-lap race featured 15 lead changes among seven drivers and nine cautions for 51 laps. NASCAR completed post-race inspection and confirmed Blaney as the winner, with Carson Hocevar earning the fastest-lap bonus for a 29.812-second lap on Lap 143.
