MAGIC MILE MOMENTUM: The NASCAR Cup Series heads to New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend for the penultimate race of the regular season, with The Chase field set to be finalized following next Saturday night's race at Daytona International Speedway. Drivers took to the 1.058-mile "Magic Mile" Saturday for a 50-minute practice session before qualifying set the starting lineup for Sunday's 301-lap event.

Team Penske enters the weekend with a strong history at New Hampshire, highlighted by eight Cup Series victories at the Loudon, N.H., track. Rusty Wallace delivered the organization's first New Hampshire victory in the inaugural Cup Series race at the facility on July 11, 1993, while Ryan Blaney returns this weekend as the defending race winner. Team Penske has won three of the last four races on the 2026 schedule and looks to continue that success Sunday.

UP NEXT: Sunday's Dollar tree 301 is scheduled to get underway at 2 p.m. ET, airing live on USA, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
