Stewart-Haas Racing benefited from a rain delay, boosting their playoff hopes in New Hampshire. Chase Briscoe struggled in the midfield initially but shined when the race resumed in the wet conditions, finishing second. The rain played a crucial role in their success, salvaging what could have been a non-competitive race for Briscoe. Rookie Josh Berry also had a strong performance, finishing third after battling with Briscoe for the win. Both drivers gained positive momentum for their playoff pushes, with Briscoe closing in on Joey Logano in the standings. Berry sits further back but has a chance with a solid run of form in the upcoming races.
