A Chartered Milestone at New Hampshire
The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series 301‑lap race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway will host only 36 chartered entries, marking the fourth such event this season and the third oval race that excludes non‑chartered cars.
Josh Bilicki is slated to drive the No. 66 Ford for MBM Motorsports, stepping into the seat after a withdrawal from the Chicagoland Speedway event in July, while John Hunter Nemechek’s Legacy Motor Club Toyota will carry the No. 40 number as a nod to Dollar Tree’s 40th anniversary.
Erik Jones will share the No. 43 Toyota, also bearing Dollar Tree branding, alongside Nemechek’s No. 40 entry, completing a lineup that reflects the sponsor’s growing presence in the series.
The event, scheduled for August 23, will be broadcast live on USA Network beginning at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, giving fans nationwide access to the action.
