Sheldon Creed and the No. 2 NASCAR Chevy Camaro are still looking for their first Xfinity Series win of the 2023 season, but he’ll have to take another shot at it next weekend, as a last-lap crash unfortunately ended his vie for the victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon on July 15th, 2023.
Creed’s No. 2 Camaro was racing hard with the No. 00 Ford Mustang of Cole Custer. On the last lap, the two race cars made contact. Both spun out, with Creed’s No. 2 NASCAR Chevy shooting up the track and collecting several competitors, allowing the No. 20 Toyota TRD Supra of John Hunter Nemechek to easily get away with the race lead and ultimately the win. Creed, meanwhile, was scored 21st in the No. 2 Camaro.
The No. 7 NASCAR Chevy of Justin Allgaier was also strong all day, but had difficulties on Pit Road. He overshot his pit stall, and his No. 7 NASCAR Chevy team began to service the race car before it was inside the box. He was penalized and ultimately had to restart at back of the field, but rallied back to a sixth-place result at the end.
Chandler Smith’s No. 16 NASCAR Chevy finished second, while Austin Hill’s No. 21 Camaro finished third. The No. 11 Camaro of Daniel Hemric finished fourth, tailed by the No. 18 Supra of Sammy Smith rounding out the top five.
