For the best part of this season, Denny Hamlin and its equipment have strived to prevent that one of them commits an error.
Sunday, in the New Hampshire International Speedway, the things were joined for both and Hamlin stopped to a Jeff Gordon to the offensive to gain Industrial race LENOX Tools 300 of Glass NEXTEL of NASCAR.
Hamlin, that had not led a return all the day and it had not gained a race this season, took advantage of the work its equipment to gain the event of 300 returns before a complete plenty.
To his it put it equipment of return in the track when a yellow flag waved to the 256 turns, causing a final shutdown for a so even contingent. There it followed the rest of the way, but he took each ounce from conductivas abilities that Hamlin could reunite to maintain to ray to the determined Gordon.
The ex- champion of NASCAR, ran without his regular group leader, handled the final returns as an owned man and could have escaped to Hamlin if the race had not finished it did when it.
Behind Gordon he was Martin Truex Jr, the most burning pilot in the circuit in recent events.
The coequipero of Truex, Dale Earnhardt Jr, was fourth and the coequipero of Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, also without its regular group leader finalized fifth.
The group leaders Steve Letarte and Chad Knaus were suspended by violations to rules in the new car of previous NASCAR to the race in California the past week. As much Letarte as Knaus was suspended by six races, fined with $100.000 dollars each and was put on approval until year end.

, The one of and Carl Edwards leaders the race potential winner, saw its erased hopes when a defective cat during a shutdown in pits cost two returns to him.
The bad luck of Ward Burton continued when its Chevy threw smoke when leaving curve four in the third return. It handled direct to the garage and the contingent gave returns around this track of one mile under yellow flag, in fresh and a behind schedule cloudy one of the New England.
Gordon needed only 25 returns to go of the eighth to the second behind the winner of pole Dave Blaney. In return 30, tetracampeón pushed its Chevrolet to pass Toyota of Blaney through the leadership.
The older brother of the Busch, Kurt, just maintained the third site with Reed Sorensen and Earnhardt Jr back. After several returns more, Blaney continued being delayed. To the 60 returns, Blaney was 13º.
Gordon maintained a leadership of 2,7 seconds on Earnhardt, with Busch in third party, soon Sorensen, Johnson, Ryan Newman, Kevin Harvick, Edwards and Truex.
Earnhardt took the leadership after the shutdowns in pits by fuel and still it was to the front when the second yellow flag of the day left in return 96 by rubbish. Busch left pits first, Johnson was the following one and Earnhardt was third party. Earnhardt maintained to the multitude of more than 100.000 fans still on when it attacked to happen to Busch through the leadership in return 105.
Another yellow flag encouraged the contingent in return 126. In the resumption, Johnson led a few returns before Kyle Busch and passed it to Earnhardt.
