The NASCAR Dollar Tree 301 is set to unfold this Sunday, August 23, at 2:00 p.m. ET at the historic New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where drivers will battle 301 laps covering 318 miles of concrete and asphalt.
Tyler Reddick will start from pole position after securing his seventh qualifying lap of the season, while Josh Berry, who finished third in 2024 and second in 2025 at the same track, looks to translate his recent form into a win.
Ryan Blaney enters as the favorite, with betting markets offering a 4.76‑to‑1 payout should he cross the line first, but his recent outings have been mixed, including an 11th‑place finish at Atlanta after his earlier victory.
Denny Hamlin, meanwhile, sits atop the points standings with a 115‑point cushion over Blaney, having placed fourth at Richmond last week, a performance that underscores his consistency despite a lack of wins this year.
Championship implications
Joey Logano became the eighth driver this season to claim multiple victories, his Richmond win last Saturday adding momentum to a field that also includes Kyle Larson, who has reached the Top 7 on eight occasions at New Hampshire but has yet to break through with a victory.
Christopher Bell, the only driver in this group yet to win a race this season, has posted second‑place finishes in four of the last six events, making him a dark horse in a race that forms part of the Chase for the Cup with only two events left before the Labor Day weekend at Darlington.
