Loudon, NH — Brad Leighton made a late-race rally to finish the Aubuchon Hardware 125 at New Hampshire International Speedway in the seventh position. Leighton’s No. 55 Irving Oil Chevrolet was overheating in the final laps of the event, but it didn’t stop the master of the ‘Magic Mile’ from posting a top-10 finish.
“We were tight all day long,” said Leighton. “We pitted for tires and made an adjustment and we gave it all we had. We were running 280 degrees the last 12 laps so that isn’t good. I didn’t want to push it too hard because I didn’t want to destroy the motor for seventh place. We had a top-10 car today, but we really had to work for it.”
Rain has forced the cancellation of time trials for today’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at New Hampshire International Speedway. The 36 truck field was set by NASCAR owners points.
