The NASCAR Cup Series will head to New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend for its annual 301‑lap showdown, a race that has become a staple of the summer schedule.
Tyler Reddick will start from the pole position, even though his practice outings have been far from smooth, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the event.
Josh Berry will line up just behind Reddick in the second spot, while Trackhouse Racing’s Shane van Gisbergen qualified fifth, positioning himself as a dark horse in the battle for the final Chase berth.
The Stakes Are High
The competition is particularly tight, with van Gisbergen currently 16th in the points standings and sitting 50 points ahead of Ryan Preece, making every lap count toward securing a spot in the postseason.
The race will cover 301 laps for a total distance of 318.4 miles and is slated to start at approximately 1:20 p.m. Central Time on Sunday, August 23. Coverage will be provided nationally on USA Network, with live streaming available through HBO Max and SiriusXM on channel 90.
Fans can also tune in on PRN, including 102.5-FM The Game in Nashville, for radio commentary, ensuring that the action reaches viewers and listeners across the country.
