NASCAR schedules New Hampshire races and announces 2027 venue returns

NASCAR is scheduled to hold several high-stakes races at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend, featuring both the Cup Series Dollar Tree 301 and the Craftsman Truck Series Team EJP 175. The Cup Series event serves as the penultimate race before the postseason field is finalized at Daytona. Ryan Blaney enters as the defending winner and betting favorite, followed by Christopher Bell and Joey Logano.

Looking ahead to 2027, NASCAR has announced several venue returns. The Craftsman Truck Series will return to the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, for a race on September 5, marking the first time the national series has competed at the track since 2019. Additionally, Kansas Speedway will host two race weekends in 2027, including a spring event in May and a Chase race weekend in October.

Qualifying orders for the New Hampshire weekend have been established, with Cody Ware leading the Cup Series metric scores and Dawson Cram leading the Truck Series.
