Jason Bowles’ qualifying speed was not good enough to make the field for the Nationwide Series VFW Sport Clips Help a Hero 200 at Darlington Raceway.

He ran a lap of 161.471 mph in the No. 47 Chevrolet. It was 40th quickest but not quick enough to make the field for the race.

Behar: NAPA Auto Parts/Idaho 208 results

Nicole Behar (No. 33 Custom Welding & Fabrication Toyota) finished third in Saturday night's NASCAR K&N Pro Series-West (KNPSW) NAPA Auto Parts/Idaho 208 at Idaho's Meridian Speedway.

She started ninth in the lineup and completed all laps of the 216-lap race. Behar, who competed in three of the 13 KNPSW races so far this season, moved up from 24th to 22nd in the 2016 championship standings after this event.

9th-place Kasey Kahne top non-Chaser at NH

Kasey Kahne finished ninth in the Bad Boy Off Road 300 at New Hampshire to become the top finishing non-Chase driver of the weekend.

Most importantly, this was his fourth consecutive top-10. He has not accomplished that feat since spring 2013. If he can add another next week, it will be his first such streak since the first year he raced for Hendrick Motorsports in 2012. Kahne is not only a solid dark horse, but his surge proves how far this organization has come in the past several weeks and it makes Jimmie Johnson and Chase Elliott better values overall.

8th in, 8th out for 8th-place Johnson

Jimmie Johnson entered New Hampshire Motor Speedway eighth in the points and he exited eighth in the standings—courtesy of an eighth-place finish in the Bad Boy Off Road 300.

That is not the kind of dominance we once associated with Johnson and the No. 48 team, but they took an important step nonetheless by having an error-free race. Johnson could be a great sleeper at Dover International Speedway next week. That is one of his best tracks in his career and Hendrick Motorsports is finally showing consistent strength.

Dominant run turns bad for Truex

Martin Truex Jr. had a dominant car for most of the Bad Boy Off Road 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but he was shuffled out of the lead just before the checkers and ultimately finished seventh.

Truex led the most laps at 141 and netted NASCAR’s top Driver Rating. He remained one of the top scorers in most fantasy games and outperformed a substantial salary cap. Dover International Speedway is another solid track for him, so he should maintain his position in keeper leagues.

Carl Edwards overcomes NJ mistake for 6th

Carl Edwards received a penalty for a commitment line infraction late in the Bad Boy Off Road 300 at New Hampshire with about 35 laps remaining. He overcame the penalty to finish sixth.

Edwards restarted 20th on lap 268 of 300. He got the benefit of two more cautions in the final 15 laps that allowed him to close up on the leaders. He ended the day 10th in the standings with a 16-point cushion over the bubble. Several drivers are within a few points of one another in the range and that is going to make for some interesting scenarios in Dover.

Kurt Busch gets 1st top-5 in 10 weeks

Kurt Busch finished fifth in the Bad Boy Off Road 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, which was his first top-five finish in the past 10 races.

In the nine races between his fourth-place finish at Kentucky Speedway and this fifth-place effort, Busch scored only two top-10s and had an average result of 18th. Busch’s solid run elevated him to 11th in the standings with a 15-point cushion over Jamie McMurray and Austin Dillon who are tied for 13th. A top-15 at Dover International Speedway will allow Busch to advance, so long as one of the drivers outside the top 12 does not win.

4th-place Brad Keselowski safe in Dover

Brad Keselowski posted a fourth-place finish in the Bad Boy Off Road 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway to give him a 35-point cushion over the bubble. All he needs at Dover International Speedway is to stay out of trouble and he will advance to round two of the Chase.

This is Keselowski’s sixth top-five in the past eight races. He also has a ninth in that span of events and the only time he failed to finish in the top-10 was at Bristol Motor Speedway when he suffered crash damage. Keselowski will stay out of trouble at Dover and will be one of the top fantasy values.

Kyle Busch finishes 3rd at New Hampshire

Kyle Busch finished third in the Bad Boy Off Road 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway after starting 12th. His solid run has him seeded fourth in the standings entering next week’s round one finale at Dover International Speedway.

Busch was not flashy during the afternoon, but this is the type of performance that got him to the finale two years ago. He led only three laps at New Hampshire, but posted 39 fast trips around the track to earn major points for fantasy owners.

Kenseth loses 1 spot to 2nd on late restart

Matt Kenseth led 105 of 300 laps in the Bad Boy Off Road 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but got passed by Kevin Harvick with eight laps remaining. He finished second after starting eighth.

This has been a good track for Kenseth in recent years and so has Dover International Speedway. The No. 20 driver has now finished first or second in his last three New Hampshire races and with two more short, flat track races in the Chase, he has a good opportunity to advance to the finale.

Late race restart equals Harvick win

Kevin Harvick won the Bad Boy Off Road 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway after taking the lead during a late-race restart with eight laps remaining.

This was Harvick’s 11th victory in his 100th start with Stewart-Haas Racing and it gives the team an automatic advance to the second round of the Chase. This is also his eighth Chase victory, tying him for second with Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart. Harvick spent most of the day in the top 10, but only led the eight laps at the end.

Todd Gilliland wins big at Meridian Speedway

Todd Gilliland capitalized on a mistake made by Ryan Partridge late in the NAPA Auto Parts/Idaho 208 to take home his sixth NASCAR K&N Pro Series West trophy of the year.

Gilliland started the race fifth and moved into second behind Partridge, who had led a total of 121 laps before being overtaken by the NASCAR Next driver. Partridge held off a charging Gilliland until late in the race when the Gilliland slipped past him for the lead with 73 laps remaining. This started the back and forth lead change between the two championship contenders for the duration of the 208-lap event. Gilliland will head into the season finale with a 25-point lead over Partridge (558-533).
