Contact between Matt Kenseth and Jamie McMurray on Lap 180 led to a five-car incident that involved four of the 16 drivers in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup during Sunday’s Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Kyle Busch suffered the most damage, with his No. 18 Toyota smacking the back of the No. 20 when Kenseth checked up. Not only did Busch’s car take damage, the contact sent him spinning into the infield grass. Kasey Kahne and Ryan Newman were also involved.
“It’s absolutely destroyed,” Busch said over his radio. Urged by crew chief Dave Rogers, the No. 18 team did not go to the garage but spent time on pit road fixing the problem.
Four ensuing cautions over the next 25 laps ensured that none of the drivers involved lost any laps.
Earlier Sunday, Denny Hamlin had a fueling issue and was later caught up in a wreck, further complicating the Chase picture.
