Another race; another championship lead change.
Austin Dillon backed up his Chicagoland victory with a runner-up finish to Kyle Busch in New Hampshire to reclaim the top spot in the standings. Dillon holds a two-point lead over former No. 1 James Buescher with six races remaining.
Dillon led once previously after August’s Pocono stop but surrendered the spot when he finished 22nd at Michigan.
The New Hampshire race marked the ninth time this season the championship lead has changed hands. Johnny Sauter, leader on 10 occasions, remains a close third, seven points behind Dillon. Timothy Peters and Ron Hornaday complete the top five.
Fans will see a double dose of Dillon this week as the 2010 Sunoco Rookie of the Year’s younger brother, Ty Dillon, is set to make his NASCAR Camping World Truck debut. The younger Dillon, age 19, is the current ARCA championship leader and will step into his older sibling’s truck when Austin Dillon moves to the NASCAR Nationwide Series next year
