Dylan Lupton Struggles with Backup Car in New Hampshire

After being out of the driver’s seat for a few weeks, Dylan Lupton returned to JGL Racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway with high anticipation.   Being forced to his backup No. 24 Nut Up Toyota after a qualifying accident, Lupton struggled throughout the running of the Overton’s 200 before safely coming home with a 22nd place finish at the Loudon, New Hampshire track.

 

Dylan would start the 200-lap event from the 39th position as a result of his mishap in qualifying.  With the focus on feeling out the first few laps on his backup No. 24 Nut Up Toyota, Lupton was also focused on moving forward through the field.  While battling a tight condition, Lupton would slowly pick up track position before a brief rain delay stopped racing on lap 30.  Back to racing after the delay, Dylan would continue to navigate traffic and be sitting in the 26th position at the end of the first stage.

 

With the second stage presenting much of the same on the handling of the No. 24 Nut Up Toyota as adjustments didn’t seem to help as much as needed.  As the stage came to an end, Lupton would pick up a few spots and sit in the 24th spot.

 

Once again, the second half of the race would be much of the same.  The Wilton, California native would utilize the last 100 laps of the event focusing on logging laps and gaining experience.  Lupton would safely accomplish that and bring home his No. 24 Nut Up Toyota in the 22nd position.
