Ryan Blaney wins NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire in 2026

Ryan Blaney wins Sunday afternoon's NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Check out the full NASCAR results from New Hampshire!

On August 2026, the NASCAR Cup Series made a stop at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, presenting a unique event. With a short delay, 36 drivers were required to start on wet-weather tires. This led to Kyle Larson taking the lead in Stage 1 and Ryan Blaney securing Stage 2 victory. The ultimate winner, however, was Blaney and his No. 12 Team Penske, who claimed the Dollar Tree 301 at New Hampshire.

This victory was their third of the 2026 Cup Series season. Despite facing challenges, including holding off Bubba Wallace and having the slowest car, Blaney demonstrated his skills by leading 115 laps and strategically utilizing his two-tire approach to build a significant lead in the final green-flag run. This race, while unconventional, allowed Blaney to secure consecutive victories at New Hampshire, mirroring his previous success.
