The red flag was displayed early in Sunday’s 301-lap NASCAR Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway following a burst of rain that led to multiple cars spinning out, including the No. 18 of race leader Kyle Busch.

Busch, the polesitter, was leading at the time, with teammate Martin Truex Jr. behind him. The two Toyotas entered Turn 1 and as rain started to fall. Further back, teammate Denny Hamlin‘s car did the same.
The No. 18 of Busch backed into the wall, sustaining the most damage. The front of Truex‘s No. 19 was hit, too. Hamlin and the No. 11 made contact with Alex Bowman‘s No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet and then also clipped the wall, with less damage.
Rain fell down harder soon after, and NASCAR threw the red flag three laps later. Chase Elliott‘s No. 9 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy held the lead after Busch and Truex wrecked.
