“2009 Lenox Industrial Tools 301”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The 2009 Lenox Industrial Tools 301 was the 17th stock car race of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. It was held on June 28, 2009, in Loudon, New Hampshire, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, before a crowd of 101,000 people. The rain-shortened 273-lap race was won by Joe Gibbs Racing driver Joey Logano after he started from the 24th position. Jeff Gordon of Hendrick Motorsports was second, and Penske Championship Racing's Kurt Busch took third.

Although Tony Stewart was awarded the pole position after qualifying was rained out and the starting order was determined by owners' points, he was immediately passed by Gordon at the start of the race. Busch took the first position on lap seven, before Gordon retook it on the 20th lap but he lost it to Busch eleven laps later. Jimmie Johnson assumed the lead on lap 50, and maintained it for the following 73 laps. He led for another 20 laps for a total 93 led, more than any other driver. His teammate Gordon re-assumed the lead following a caution period and maintained it until Stewart passed him on lap 196. Ryan Newman became the leader on lap 247 and Logano took over first place when Newman made a pit stop for fuel. The race ended early due to rain on the 273rd lap and Logano was declared the winner. There were eight cautions and 21 lead changes amongst 14 drivers during the event.

It was Logano's first victory in the Sprint Cup Series; he became the youngest driver in series history to win a race at the age of 19 years, 1 month and 4 days. After the race, Stewart maintained the Drivers' Championship lead but his advantage over Gordon was reduced from 84 to 69 points. Johnson, Busch and Edwards rounded out the top five. Chevrolet maintained the Manufacturers' Championship lead with 126 points, 32 ahead of their nearest rivals Toyota, 46 in front of Ford, and 56 ahead of Dodge with nineteen races remaining in the season. The race attracted 5,555,000 million television viewers.

Report

Background

The 2009 Lenox Industrial Tools 301 was the 17th of 36 scheduled stock car races of the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. It was held on June 28, 2009, in Loudon, New Hampshire, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway,^[2] one of ten intermediate tracks to hold NASCAR races, the others are Atlanta Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, and Darlington Raceway as well as Homestead–Miami Speedway, Kansas Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Texas Motor Speedway.^[7] The standard New Hampshire Motor Speedway layout is a four-turn {{convert|1.058|mi|km|abbr=on}} oval track.^[8] The track's turns are banked at two to seven degrees, while both the front stretch (the finish line) and the back stretch are banked at one degree.^[8]

Before the race, Tony Stewart led the Drivers' Championship with 2,364 points, followed by Jeff Gordon on 2,280 points. Jimmie Johnson was third in the Drivers' Championship with 2,207 points, Dale Earnhardt Jr. was fourth on 2,084 points, and Carl Edwards stood in fifth on 2,051 points. Ryan Newman, Denny Hamlin, Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin, and Juan Pablo Montoya rounded out the top twelve drivers.^[9] In the Manufacturers' Championship, Chevrolet were leading with 120 points, 35 points ahead of their rivals Toyota in second place. Ford, with 77 points, was eleven points in front of their rivals Dodge in the battle for the third position.^[10] Kurt Busch was the race's defending champion.^[11]

Ahead of the event, the organizers opened a new configuration of the track which allowed the infield section to be expanded with 400% usable land made available. Safety changes also happened with the track's catch fences near the grandstands made higher to {{convert|21/5|ft|in|1}} with the installation of "Wheel fence" arch posts. The lower section was reinforced with six strands of 5/8-inch, high-strength cable, and the upper section had sixteen strands of 3/8-inch cable. Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of the track, affirmed the changes were not made in response to an airborne accident involving Edwards in the Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway, which injured seven spectators.^[12]

One non-full time driver attempted to qualify for the first time in the season. Ted Christopher, who had last started a Sprint Cup Series race since the 2006 Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire, attempted to qualify the {{Abbr|No.|Car number}} 27 Kirk Shelmerdine Racing vehicle, and he had previously driven for the team in three previous races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He said he was looking forward to racing the Car of Tomorrow for the first time in his career, "I went over to see him last weekend when I was [in North Carolina]. He said come over and try the seat in the car. It fit good and he called me on Monday and said they he had got a sponsor and wanted me to run his car. I'm looking forward to it. I think I've made the race for him every time we've tried to qualify at New Hampshire."^[13]

Practice and qualifying

Three practice sessions were held before the Sunday race—one on Friday, and two on Saturday. The first session lasted 90 minutes, the second 50 minutes, and the final session 60 minutes.^[3] During the first practice session, Kurt Busch was fastest with a 29.149 seconds lap, placing ahead of David Reutimann in second and Montoya in third. Johnson took fourth position, and Reed Sorenson placed fifth. Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr., Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer and Joey Logano rounded out the top ten fastest drivers in the session.^[14] During the session, Stewart crashed into the wall at turn two, causing heavy damage to the rear of his car. He was forced to use his back-up car for the remainder of the race weekend. Martin made contact with the barrier between turns three and four, causing him to spin and suffered minor damage to his car.^[3]

Although 46 drivers attempted to qualify;^[15] according to NASCAR's qualifying procedure, only 43 could race. Each driver was limited to two timed laps, with the starting order determined by the competitor's fastest times.^[3] However, the session was canceled due to heavy rain, meaning that the starting order was set by owner points.^[16] Stewart was awarded his first pole position of the season and his second at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. He was joined on the grid's front row by Gordon. Johnson qualified third, Kurt Busch was placed fourth and Edwards started from fifth place.^[16] Ryan Newman, Hamlin, Biffle, Kyle Busch and Kenseth rounded out the top ten qualifiers.^[17] The three drivers that failed to qualify were Dexter Bean, Christopher and Mike Wallace;^[18] the latter announced that he would withdraw from the race, allowing Regan Smith to qualify.^[19] Stewart said afterward that he felt his back-up car was "comparable" and "even to the first car" in his chances of achieving a high placed finish.^[20]

On Saturday morning, Sorenson was quickest in the second practice session with a time of 29.647 seconds, ahead of Joe Nemechek in second place, and Casey Mears in third. Truex was fourth quickest, and Reutimann took fifth. Johnson, Montoya, Jeff Burton, Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick followed in the top ten.^[21] Later that day, Truex paced the final practice session with a lap time of 29.713 seconds, in front of Johnson who was in the second position, and Biffle in third. Sorenson was fourth fastest, ahead of Martin and Harvick. Montoya was seventh quickest, Kurt Busch eighth, Reutimann ninth and Bobby Labonte tenth ahead of the race on Sunday.^[22]

Race

Live television coverage of the race began at 12:30 p.m. EDT in the United States on TNT.^[3] Around the start of the race, weather conditions were cloudy with the air temperature at {{convert|68|F|C}} and the track temperature at {{convert|89|F|C}}; a chance of rain showers was forecast.^[23] Billy Mauldin, the President and CEO of Motor Racing Outreach began pre-race ceremonies by giving the invocation.^[31] The 2009 Miss New Hampshire Lindsey Graham performed the United States National Anthem with Denise Doucette singing the National Anthem of Canada, and the winner of a sponsored sweepstakes competition Pete Dingeman commanded the drivers to start their engines.^[24] NASCAR announced that a competition caution would take place on lap 35 due to the forecasted rain, meaning drivers would be required by the series to undertake mandatory pit stops to analyse tire wear.^[25] No driver fell to the rear of the field during the pace laps.^[34]

The race began at 2:16 p.m. local time. Jeff Gordon accelerated faster than Stewart off the line, getting ahead of him around the outside at the first turn. Stewart lost two further places when Kurt Busch and Newman passed him further on in the lap. On the second lap, Kurt Busch began challenging Jeff Gordon for the first position, while Biffle clinched fifth place from Stewart. Johnson and Edwards managed to get ahead of Stewart for the sixth and seventh positions at the end of lap three. Biffle took the third position from Newman at the start of lap four, as Kurt Busch continued his attempts to get ahead of Gordon by taking the inside line. Kyle Busch fell to tenth when Kenseth and Montoya passed him on the sixth lap. Kurt Busch got ahead of Jeff Gordon at the entry of the first turn to take the lead on lap seven. Biffle managed to pass Jeff Gordon for second place one lap later. After starting the race in seventh, Hamlin fell to fourteenth by lap eleven. On lap 16, Patrick Carpentier ran deep because of a broken brake line, and he scraped the outside wall at turn four, causing the event's first caution. Some of the drivers elected to make pit stops for tires under caution.^[26]^[25]^[27]

The race restarted on lap 20, with Jeff Gordon passing Kurt Busch on the outside lane at the fourth turn to retake the lead. On the 21st lap, the second caution was waved; Jamie McMurray was hit from behind by Harvick, sending him into the turn four barrier after losing traction in his car. McMurray made heavy contact with the wall with his vehicle's rear. Under caution, some drivers again chose to make pit stops. Jeff Gordon maintained the lead at the lap 26 restart. A third caution came out on the following lap, as A. J. Allmendinger spun in turn two. Although he did not hit the wall beside the track, he had difficulty restarting his engine. This prompted NASCAR to move the competition caution to lap 45, as some drivers again elected to take the opportunity to make pit stops under caution. Racing resumed on lap 32, with Kurt Busch getting ahead of Jeff Gordon on the outside to regain the lead. As the top five formed a single line and pulled away from the rest of the field, on lap 41, Reutimann overtook Newman for eighth place. Newman lost the ninth position to Martin who was on the inside lane two laps later. On lap 44, Stewart passed Truex for 14th.^[26]^[25]^[27]

The competition caution was waved on the 45th lap. After the pit stops, Jeff Gordon returned to the first position for the lap 50 restart. Johnson got ahead of his teammate Jeff Gordon for the lead on the lap. Biffle made contact with the barrier at the outside of turn four on lap 54, but no caution was prompted. Two laps later, Kurt Busch passed Martin to move into fourth. On the 60th lap, Elliott Sadler lost control of his car in the second turn, sliding him into the side of Scott Speed's vehicle. That sent Speed into Michael Waltrip, and Robby Gordon spun to avoid the crash, necessitating the fifth caution. During the caution, sixteen drivers elected to make pit stops. Johnson led the field at the restart on lap 64 restart, followed by his teammate Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch. On the next lap, Stewart got ahead of Martin and Kurt Busch on the inside to advance into fourth. Jeff Gordon overtook Kyle Busch to move into second place on lap 66, and Stewart then passed the latter for third. On lap 72, Kenseth moved past Bowyer for the tenth position. Edwards went to the inside lane to pass Kenseth for fourteenth 21 laps later. By the 100th lap, Johnson's lead of 2.1 seconds was reduced to half a second over his teammate Jeff Gordon because of slower traffic.^[26]^[25]^[27]

Fourteen laps later, Truex lost twelfth place to Montoya. Green flag pit stops began on the 119th lap. Johnson made his pit stop four laps later, handing the lead to Montoya, who held it for seven laps until his own stop. Sorenson, Robby Gordon each staggered their pit stops, leading one lap each. After the pit stops, Johnson regained the lead. Between laps 145 and 148, Kyle Busch was passed by Martin and Burton on the inside for seventh and eighth. In the meantime, sprinkles of rain were reported in the area but it did not affect the race. On lap 151, a sixth caution came out because officials located debris in turn two. Several drivers (including Johnson) made pit stops for tires during the caution. Johnson stalled in his pit box and fell to third. His teammate Jeff Gordon led at the lap 159 restart. Leaving the second turn, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch, and Johnson ran three abreast but Gordon kept the lead. Two laps later, Earnhardt took advantage of side-by-side contact between Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch to get ahead of Stewart and Johnson on the inside for third. Rain was again reported during the 162nd lap but NASCAR officials deemed the track safe.^[26]^[25]^[27]

On lap 165, Johnson got loose on the exit to turn four. Although he avoided hitting the wall, it allowed Stewart and Truex to pass and demote him to sixth place. Five laps later, Paul Menard locked his left-front tire, and he crashed into the turn four wall, prompting the seventh caution. Some drivers made pit stops during the caution. Racing resumed on lap 175 as Jeff Gordon maintained the lead. On the lap, a multi-car accident triggered the eighth caution and then a 16-minute red flag for track clearing. After Earnhardt spun his tires, Truex was hit from behind by an unsighted Kyle Busch into turn one, collecting Burton, Mears, Reutimann, Brian Vickers, David Ragan and McMurray. None of the leaders made pit stops when driving resumed. On lap 181, the race resumed with Jeff Gordon leading Kurt Busch and Stewart. Newman made heavy contact with the wall a lap later but he continued.^[26]^[25]^[27] On the 183rd lap, Logano's left rear tire burst from contact with Newman and Reutimann between turns three and four;^[2]^[28] its carcass tore through his car's sheet metal, and he spun near the pit road entrance, causing the ninth caution as debris was lying on the track.^[26]^[25] Logano was sent to the end of the longest line for entering pit road when it was closed and for speeding in it.^[28]

Jeff Gordon maintained the lead at the lap 188 restart. Two laps later, Speed collided heavily with the wall between turns one and two, prompting the tenth caution. The leaders remained on the circuit during the caution. Jeff Gordon held the first position from Stewart into turn one at the 196th lap restart. Stewart overtook Jeff Gordon at turn two to assume the lead. Earnhardt moved in front of Kahne for eighth on lap 203. Eight laps later, Johnson took the eighth position from Earnhardt with a successful pass. Earnhardt lost a further position to Kahne on the 216th lap. By lap 218, Stewart's lead had eroded and Jeff Gordon was close behind. Stewart responded to increase his advantage to 1.1 seconds nine laps later. On lap 231, Martin lost seventh to Johnson. The leaders made their pit stops for car adjustments four laps later, handing the lead to Martin and later Biffle.^[26]^[25]^[27] One of Stewart's crew members dropped a lug nut for the right-front wheel and Stewart lost the lead.^[29] Labonte led laps 238 to 247 before making his own stop, promoting Newman to first place, who stayed out because his team believed rain would fall. On lap 259, Jeff Gordon got ahead of Reutimann to move into third. Five laps later, Newman was low on fuel, necessitating a pit stop.^[26]^[25]^[27]

Logano took the lead after his crew chief Greg Zipadelli instructed him to remain on track as the driver was about to enter pit road for fuel.^[30] As Logano was due to make his final pit stop on lap 278, and cede the lead to Jeff Gordon,^[31] rain showers necessitated the eleventh (and final) caution on lap 268.^[27] Pace car driver Brett Bodine reported that the rain was falling more heavily on the backstretch during that lap. Three laps later, a NASCAR official in turn two reported a stoppage in the rain but a saturated track.^[26] Logano momentarily switched off his engine several times to conserve fuel.^[32] The race was stopped for a second time on lap 273 out of a scheduled 301.^[31] All cars were ordered to park on pit road and jet dryers circulated the track to clear standing water.^[68] At 5:42 p.m. local time, the race was ended because no track condition improvements were reported.^[26] This gave Logano the victory, the first of his career.^[33] At 19 years, one month, and four days, he was the youngest driver to win a Sprint Cup Series race, besting Kyle Busch's record at 20 years, four months, and two days in the 2005 Sony HD 500 at Auto Club Speedway.^[33] Jeff Gordon finished second, Kurt Busch third, Reutimann fourth, and Stewart fifth. Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Sam Hornish Jr., Johnson and Kahne completed the top ten.^[2] There were 21 lead changes among 14 drivers during the course of the race. Johnson's 93 laps led was more than any other driver. Logano led once for a total of ten laps.^[2]

Post-race

Logano appeared in Victory Lane to celebrate his first career victory in front of a crowd of 101,000 people;^[30] the win earned him $276,201.^[2] He said of becoming the first rookie driver to win in 71 races, "This is so special, I think your first win no matter where it is is huge. Obviously it's not the way you want to win your first race, in the rain, but 20 years down the road when you look in the record books, no one will know the difference. I'll take them any way I can."^[30] Jeff Gordon spoke of his happiness that he could challenge for the victory, "I wasn't very good on the restarts and those guys there, the #2 [Busch] and the #14 [Stewart] and the #48 [Johnson] got me but I could ride right there with him. Then my pit crew, they did the job in the pits and they were phenomenal and got us out front."^[29] Kurt Busch accepted the view that the rain restricted him to third, "Overall, last year, to drive into Victory Lane and do it in a rain-shortened race and today to have it where we were fast enough to win and not get the win, you know, that’s how this sport evens itself out. You have your good and your bad luck."^[32]

The event was stopped early for rain for the second consecutive year, and the third time in the season after the Daytona 500 and the Coca Cola 600 that a NASCAR race was shortened by inclement weather conditions.^[80] Since NASCAR began implementing a television network contact in 2001, the start times to daytime races were moved to begin later in the day.^[35] Kurt Busch argued having a consistent start time for daylight races would have potentially meant competitors completed all the scheduled laps of the New Hampshire round, "If we had a consistent time for our races, that would be better for our fans. That would create more viewership knowing that they knew when to find the race."^[35] Ramsey R. Poston, managing director of communications and spokesperson for NASCAR, said the organization supported the suggestion of consistent starting times, and planned to discuss the topic with the sport's broadcasters.^[35]

Kyle Busch took responsibility for causing the eight-car crash that stopped the race on lap 175 and apologized for it,^[36] "I got into Martin and I hate it for him and Jeff Burton and those guys. It was just hard racing on a restart. It looked like the 88 spun his tires a little bit. I went to the middle to go for a lane and these double-file restarts everything is so tight anyways and I just got into the 1 a little bit there and got him sideways."^[37] Vickers argued that Kyle Busch should have been disqualified after he reviewed video footage of the accident in the infield care center, "That's the second week in a row that stupidity has cost us a race, and it's frustrating."^[37] Truex concurred with Vickers and opined that Kyle Busch did not ease off the accelerator pedal, "Kyle just lost his head like he usually does when something bad happens. He decided he wasn't going to lift, he was going to turn me on the straightaway for no good reason at all."^[37] Burton said he felt the accident was a consequence of NASCAR's rules on double-file restarts, "I don’t think the fans want to see more wrecks. But they want to see more aggressive racing so that is the product of that. You can’t change something without there being some kind of negative consequences and this is an example.”^[38]

The result of the race meant Stewart continued to the lead the Drivers' Championship with 2,524 points but Jeff Gordon had reduced his advantage to 69 points. Johnson maintained third with 2,355 points, Kurt Busch kept fourth with 2,254 points, and Edwards was fifth with 2,157 points. Hamlin advanced past Ryan Newman for seventh, and Kyle Busch outscored Biffle enough to take over eighth. Kenseth, Martin and Montoya rounded out the top twelve.^[39] Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship with 126 points. Toyota followed in the second position with 94 points. Ford (with 80 points) continued to lead Dodge in fourth (70 points).^[10] The race had a television audience of 5,555,000 million;^[6] it took two hours, 57 minutes, and 45 seconds to complete; because it concluded under caution conditions, no margin of victory was recorded.^[2]
