NASCAR’s New Hampshire Showdown Sets Up Playoff Drama

Tyler Reddick and Josh Berry lock out the front row as the regular season finale approaches, with the Chase looming on the horizon.

The NASCAR Cup Series will conclude its regular season this Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where the stage is set for a dramatic showdown.

Tyler Reddick will share the front row with Josh Berry after a qualifying session that saw the two drivers post speeds of 131.094 mph and 131.026 mph respectively.

The event, known as the Dollar Tree 301, marks the 25th race of a 26‑race schedule and serves as the final stepping stone before the iconic Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona next Saturday.

The points battle is tightly contested, with Shane van Gisbergen topping the playoff bubble at 567 points, while Ryan Preece sits just behind at 517.

A host of heavyweight teams – including Joe Gibbs Racing, Hendrick Motorsports and RFK Racing – will be represented by a blend of Toyota and Ford machinery, featuring drivers such as Joey Logano, Chase Elliott and Brad Keselowski.

Playoff Implications

With only ten races remaining after Daytona, the championship picture is beginning to crystallize, and every stage win and stage point could prove decisive in the quest for the title.

Fans can expect a high‑octane finish as the series heads toward the season‑ending race at Daytona, where the ten‑race playoff field will be finalized.
