Loudon Top-5 Finish Larson finished fourth in the USA Today 301 NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Sunday afternoon.

Impact Larson would rebound well from his Iowa crash last weekend and score a strong Top-5 finish at the Magic Mile. The Hendrick Motorsports star would not come by it easy though. Larson would start further back in the field that he's used to and really have to navigate a lot of traffic to get near the leaders by the end of stage 2. He'd hang onto that good track position down the stretch to earn his series-leading eighth Top 5 of the season.

Iowa Speedway Crash Larson crashed and finished 34th in the Iowa Corn 350 NASCAR Cup Series race at Iowa Speedway Sunday night.

Impact Larson would dominate the early part of the race with 80 laps led and runner-up and first-place finishes in the opening two stages. However, things would rapidly tank for the No. 5 team when Daniel Suarez would lose control on lap 221 and crash into both Larson and Denny Hamlin. The team would make repairs and get Larson back out, but he'd finish many laps down with the distant 34th-place.
