NASCAR arrived at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the USA TODAY 301, and it was pure chaos. The NASCAR Cup Series was unable to qualify due to the weather but were able to start the race on time. It was Toyota-dominated, with Joe Gibbs Racing drivers sweeping the day; however, one in particular conquered the Magic Mile on Sunday evening.

Bell had one of the best cars and actually won Stage 1 while leading over 140 laps. The driver of the No. 20 car held off Ford drivers as NASCAR waited through a two-hour rain delay and used Wet Weather Tires the rest of the way.
