The 2010 Sylvania 300 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 19, 2010 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire. Contested over 300 laps, it was the twenty-seventh, and the first race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup during the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Clint Bowyer, for the Richard Childress Racing team. Denny Hamlin finished second, and Jamie McMurray, who started fourth, clinched third.
Pole position driver Brad Keselowski maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Clint Bowyer, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. One lap later, Tony Stewart became the leader of the race. Some of the Chase for the Sprint Cup participants, such as, Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, and Denny Hamlin was in the top-ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them had problems, like spins. Hamlin was the only one to recover back into the top-five. With two laps remaining, Tony Stewart was leading the race, when he ran out of fuel; giving the lead to Clint Bowyer. Bowyer maintained the lead to win the race, after leading 176 laps.
There were eight cautions and twenty-three lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Clint Bowyer's first win in the 2010 season, and the third of his career. The result moved Bowyer up to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Hamlin and ten ahead of Kevin Harvick, but because of a penalty, he fell to twelfth in the standings. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-two ahead of Toyota and seventy-four ahead of Ford, with nine races remaining in the season. A total of 95,000 people attended the race, while 3.677 million watched it on television.
Report
Background
The track, New Hampshire Motor Speedway, is one of ten intermediate to hold NASCAR races, the others being Atlanta Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Chicagoland Speedway, Darlington Raceway, Homestead Miami Speedway, Kansas Speedway, Kentucky Speedway, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and Texas Motor Speedway.[6] The standard track at New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a four-turn quad-oval track that is 1.6 miles (2.6 km) long.[7] The track's turns are banked at two to seven degrees, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, and the back stretch are banked at one.[7]
Before the race, Denny Hamlin led the Drivers' Championship with 5,060 points, and Jimmie Johnson stood in second with 5,050 points. Kevin Harvick was third in the Drivers' Championship with 5,030 points, now tied with Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch in fourth and fifth. Tony Stewart with 5,010 was tied with Greg Biffle, as Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, and Jeff Burton rounded out the top ten with 5,000 points.[8] Matt Kenseth and Clint Bowyer was also tied with 5,000 because of the Chase for the Sprint Cup reset. In the Manufacturers' Championship, Chevrolet was leading with 188 points, twenty-nine points ahead of their rival Toyota. Ford, with 120 points, was fifteen points ahead of Dodge in the battle for third.[9] Mark Martin is the race's defending champion.[10]
Some competitors who are in the 2010 Chase for the Sprint Cup, are happy about their chances of winning the championship.[11] Greg Biffle said, "I think that I'm capable of winning it. I think Jeff Burton's capable of winning it. I think Tony Stewart is capable of winning it."[11] Other drivers, such as Jimmie Johnson stated, "What I keep telling myself is that those 10 races in the Chase is its own world. The people act and react differently under pressure, and for the last four years we have done a great job in that environment."[11] Johnson coming into the 2010 Chase already had eighteen wins in the Chase.[11] Denny Hamlin also made comments about the Chase. He said, "Reliability is the only thing we need to work on. It's taken us out of the last three Chases, not being reliable. You have to have it to be the champion."[11] Ray Evernham also made an opinion on Hamlin, stating,"I think Denny knows that he has the talent to win the championship. I think that he's got focus right now and a good, veteran crew chief in Mike Ford. If Toyota gives him the speed, he could be a threat."[11]
Practice and qualifying
Three practice sessions was held before the Sunday race—one on Friday, and two on Saturday. The first session lasted 90 minutes, while the second session will last 50 minutes.

Afterward, during qualifying, forty-five cars were entered, but only forty-three was able because of NASCAR's qualifying procedure.[14] Brad Keselowski clinched his first pole position in the Sprint Cup Series, with a time of 28.515.[15] He was joined on the front row of the grid by Clint Bowyer.[15] Tony Stewart qualified third, Jamie McMurray took fourth, and Juan Pablo Montoya started fifth.[15] Jimmie Johnson, one of the drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, qualified twenty-fifth, while Kevin Harvick was scored twenty-seventh.[15] The two drivers that failed to qualify for the race were Jeff Green and Johnny Sauter.[15] Once qualifying concluded Keselowski said, "I felt I got a shot at the pole before I qualified but you never really know. When I ran the lap I knew I gave up a little bit of time right in the middle of both corners but I had a plan going into it and stuck to it and it worked. I’m really proud of that lap."[3]
On the next morning, Stewart was quickest in the second practice session, ahead of Sam Hornish, Jr. and Jamie McMurray in second and third.[16] Ryan Newman was fourth quickest, and Clint Bowyer took fifth.

Next, Anthony Gargiula performed the national anthem, and Mark Corcoran, VP of Industrial and Commercial Sales for Sylvania, gave the command for drivers to start their engines.[19] On the pace laps, two drivers had to move the rear of the grid; they were David Gilliland, because of a engine change, and Andy Lally because of a transmission change.[19]

Post-race
Clint Bowyer appeared in victory lane after his victory lap to start celebrating his first win of the season, in front of a crowd of 95,000 people.[21][22] After winning the race, he said, "I was really going to push him across. But I didn't know what to do, so I just went to celebrate. Two weeks ago, going into Richmond, your feeling the confidence level in our race team, in our equipment level, everything was good"[22]
"I couldn't believe it. Those are the kind of chances you're going to have to take to beat guys in this Chase. That's the chances that people that win races take every week."
Clint Bowyer, speaking after the race.[22]
Although Tony Stewart led the race with two laps remaining, he ran out of fuel. Afterward, he said, "We went down swinging. I think I ran me out of fuel."[22] In the subsequent press conference, Denny Hamlin said, "First thing I asked is how many cars on the lead lap, because I wanted to see how bad our day was going to be. I set a goal (of) top 15, and then it was top eight and then top six and, 'Holy cow, we can win this thing.' We just made a heck of a charge at the end."[22] Afterward, Clint Bowyer stated, "[Crew chief] Shane [Wilson] built a brand new race car and we came here and we were fast right off the truck, and everybody had a lot of confidence, a pep in their step. And we showed it from the time we unloaded to qualifying, practice, we were one of the fastest cars here. That’s what it takes to run at this level, to be a part of that Chase, if we can go and continue to have as much fun as we did this weekend. I know it’s the key, I know it is to my success."[23]
Jimmie Johnson stated, "We had a decent car and ran in the top five and top 10 but just didn't end up finishing there."[22] Next, Kevin Harvick commented about the race by saying, "We didn't have a great day. We didn't have a great weekend, honestly, and (fifth) says a lot about this team. If we keep doing that on our bad days, we will be in good shape." The race result left Denny Hamlin leading the Driver's Championship with 5,230 points.[24] Clint Bowyer, who finished first, moved to second on 5,195, ten points ahead of Kevin Harvick and twenty-seven ahead of Kyle Busch.[24] In the Manufacturers' Championship, Chevrolet maintained their lead with 197 points.[9] Toyota remained second with 165 points.[9] Ford followed with 123 points, fourteen points ahead of Dodge in fourth.[9] 3.677 million people watched the race on television.[25]
Three days following the race, two race teams were given penalties, including Clint Bowyer, from Richard Childress Racing and Michael McDowell, from Whitney Motorsports.[26] Richard Childress Racing's penalty, included a $150,000 fine to Shane Wilson (Bowyer's crew chief), a six race suspension of Wilson, and both Richard Childress and Bowyer lost 150 driver and owner points.[26] Richard Childress Racing's car chief, Chad Haney, was given probation until December 31, 2010, and suspended from NASCAR until December 3, 2010.[26] Whitney Motorsports was penalized because of engine exhaust valves did not meet NASCAR's weight requirements.[26] The penalties include a $50,000 and a six race suspension to Jeremy Lafaver, and both Michael McDowell and Dusty Whitney lost 50 driver and owner points.[26]
Regarding the announcement, Tony Stewart stated, "It's possible for sure. The biggest thing is going to be going to the race track and having that stress of not having his crew chief, not having his car chief and those are two key people on a race weekend ... I can promise you that Childress has the resources to cover this ... it's definitely possible, but everyone else is going to have to have trouble."[27] Robin Pemberton also commented by saying, "We don't consider taking away the win. If you ask some, they would consider a 150-point penalty with only nine races to go in the Chase a pretty hefty penalty."[27]
