Race recaps

  • 1996: Scott Sharp won his first career Indycar race, and won the first race for owner A. J. Foyt since the 1981 Pocono 500. Tony Stewart had led 165 laps and had a nearly three-lap lead over second place, but coasted into the pits with 18 laps to go. Scott Sharp took over the lead, and stretched his fuel to the finish.
  • 2011: Indy-style racing returned to New Hampshire after a 13-year sabbatical. The race was scheduled for 225 laps / 238.05 miles. Rain affected the race, bringing out the caution on two lengthy occasions. With 5 laps to go, officials attempted to restart the race and finish under green. The track, however, was too moist for racing, and Danica Patrick immediately spun on the frontstretch, which led to a controversial five-car pileup. Officials accepted blame for the decision, and reverted final scoring back to the previous standings prior to the restart attempt. The official race distance was 215 laps / 227.47 miles.
