The USA TODAY 301 NASCAR Cup Series race is set to take place at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday, June 23. This race will be the highlight of a weekend of racing at NASCAR’s only stop in New England. The SciAps 200 NASCAR Xfinity Series race and the Mohegan Sun 100 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will also take place on Saturday in a doubleheader event.
Last year’s Cup race at New Hampshire was won by Martin Truex Jr. The track, which is located in Loudon, New Hampshire, about 82 miles north of Boston, features a 1.058-mile oval. The USA TODAY 301 race is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on USA Network.
Nate Scott, Vice President of Sports Revenue Strategy at Gannett and the USA TODAY Network, expressed excitement about the partnership with New Hampshire Motor Speedway for the USA TODAY 301 NASCAR Cup Series race. USA TODAY also sponsored a NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, earlier in the year.
Following the New Hampshire race, the NASCAR Cup Series will head to Nashville for the Ally 400 on June 30, followed by the Chicago street race on July 7, a Cup race at Pocono Raceway, and the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. David McGrath, Executive Vice President and General Manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway welcomed USA TODAY’s sponsorship of the event and emphasized their commitment to providing a high-quality experience for fans each year.
