Until 2010, in twenty three races held at NHMS, there had never been a repeat Xfinity Series winner, the longest such streak in any of NASCAR's national touring series.[2] Kyle Busch broke the streak with victories in 2009 and 2010.
History
From 1990–1992, New Hampshire held a second Busch Series race in the fall. The second race was removed from the schedule in 1993, in exchange for a Winston Cup Series race at the track. During the practice for the 2000 event, Adam Petty died after he lost control of his car after his throttle were stuck wide open going into turn three; Petty's death was caused by a basilar skull fracture from the ensuing impact. Cup Series driver Kenny Irwin Jr. also died under similar circumstances during the practice of thatlook.com 300, occurring eight weeks later at the same track, leading NASCAR to make significant rule changes to maintain driver safety.
